Been saying this since before the Diggs trade, now I'm screaming it.

I would be shocked if he did. His only path is in is becoming a special teams star.

Franklin and Ladd McConkey are probably the smartest bets on who the Bills might take. They've met with both a lot. The top 4 are probably in consideration but unlikely unless one falls significantly. Mitchell has all the right tools but the character concerns and the stuff leaking about diabetes management concerns probably make him a no go for the Bills, although if I were Beane I wouldn't let that stop me.

You been drinkin' on this vacation?

The Bears would likely take that trade in a heartbeat. So as a Bills fan I would immediately say no.

You added a lot of very successful teams with elite WRs and then proceeded to essentially argue that the position is overvalued. I don't see how that makes sense. Regardless, I think the position is worth paying for unless you go the KC-style route and just keep reinvesting high draft picks into the WR room.

Anyone who actually watching Tua play knows that he is not the elite QB the stats were making him out to be. You didn't mention the Eagles or Cincy, but they both got to a superbowl with elite WR talent, just because they didn't win one game doesn't mean it's not a sound strategy. I said Dallas was an exception. You're just adding random teams after the fact.

All of those with the exception of Dallas and maybe SF put the cart before the horse though, they were trying to make up subpar QB play with star WRs. It doesn't matter how good your WR are if you can't consistently get the ball to them. Totally, the QB cap hit is a massive roadblock, but if you're investing in your QB then you need to also invest in the weapons around him. Either with high draft picks every year (in the hopes you land a top 10-15 WR), or with a big contract veteran.

That's a high number, but it shows you the positional value WR has. If you have a chance to bring in a top 10 guy though I think you've gotta bite the bullet and go for it.

I'm cool with it, but I'm going to just keep screaming this into the void: Double up on WR. The hit rate is not high, hedge your bets and take 2 high WR prospects if you're not moving up for one of the "sure things".

He's cross training

Nothing will happen to the sport. We already have overwhelming evidence that CTE effects impulse control, mood, and behavior. Hell, we already have a confirmed killer (Aaron Hernandez) with CTE and it's changed very little. I love football, I have no regrets playing it, I don't want my kid playing it though.

Mitchell is likely the best long term answer on that list. I'd prefer double dipping though, because I feel like hitting on WR this draft is absolutely critical to the long term success of the Bills.

He's going to suck this season and blame the CIA. Calling it now.

Davis had multiple games with a 0 statline. Knox had a hand injury. If you're going to invest in the bottom of your WR rooms, then you should use them, otherwise just go get some UDFAs or Vet minimum players.

He was, by all reports, not a good guy.

It's too bad we could figure out a use for him here. Dorsey was horrible. Beane gave him all sorts of speed but all we could do is force feed Diggs and have Davis run the wrong option route constantly. I really hope Brady can be simpler but spread the ball around more, and actually use players to their strengths. Everything looked so much easier under Daboll.

Given what we know, he should be sharing a cell with Reid's son, but the rich have different rules than the rest of us. The Chiefs are just full of scumbags, don't get me wrong, it's worked for them football wise...

That's the play if you don't have any first round graded WRs left on your board, sure, otherwise I think you have to go with that 1st round graded WR given the Bills situation.

Considering he did a private workout for the Bills I wouldn't be too worried about his combine numbers if the Bills drafted him. I wouldn't be happy with him at 28 either though. I've said this a few times, but I like the idea of taking best receiver available at 28 (AD Mitchell or BJT if we're lucky, etc...) and then moving up a little in the second and getting McConkey / Franklin / Polk.

You'll get a 6th and you'll like it. He has zero value. You might be able to straight up trade him for Treylon Burks or some other player who hasn't panned out for another team, but that's pretty much it.

Milano might be viewed as a "system" LB. He's an excellent player and I don't know that we would get much for him.

I'm not going to run the numbers, but my gut tells me the hit rates for those positions are probably similar. The draft is a crapshoot that we pretend to a genuine understanding of. There are way fewer "sure things" then there are players.

WR is arguably the 2nd most important position in Football. If you're not moving up, I think double dipping becomes necessary. You might even want a 3rd later round guy for bottom of the roster competition. I get that there are other holes like DT, Safety, EDGE but we actually have serviceable players right now in those positions, which is just not the case at WR.

I think the drops can be mitigated. He's basically 2-3 years behind his contemporaries because of injuries and the fact that he was never used as a pass catcher in college. He's an athlete though and a stellar red zone target, and I think you're right, we can do much worse as TE2.
