You don't have to take it personally unless you're a drunk retiree calling into WGR, FYI.

Too coherent. You need to add in "aaaannnnddd here's another thinnggg" "leeeemmmee tell you sumthin"

When there's so much money invested into these guys I really wonder why whatever NFL team wouldn't just hire a staff member who's only job is to make sure he's good. Seems like a good investment of 60k-70k

I've heard this about Gesicki for years and it never pans out.

I've been listening to WGR on and off again since I was a kid, I have yet to see this theory play out in practice. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but outliers aren't really important when you're talking about clear trends. Football knowledge in the general public has skyrocketed in the last 20 years because of fantasy football and analytics. Guess which crowd isn't into either?

It's almost like the draft isn't over yet.

Drunk retirees in the middle of the day listening to FM Radio in 2024 are worse than someone who understands how to operate a computer? Shocking.

But everyone told me Beane was asleep at the wheel and should be fired...

5th option matters for QBs and arguably EDGE, but I agree with what you're saying generally.

He will be on IR in January unless he bulks up significantly. The NFL is a different beast then college ball.

Diggs was a 5th round pick. Hill was a 5th round pick. Higgins was a 2nd. Metcalf was a 2nd. There's enough examples of "good" prospects becoming elite that I'm not too concerned with the top of the 2nd vs. the bottom of the first. It's a crapshoot, and doubling up could hedge our bets nicely.

I would be shocked. He's about a pure of a slot receiver as there is this draft. Something the Bills really don't need more of in my opinion.

Look at his advanced metrics and you'll feel a lot better. Tiny frame speedsters hardly ever work out. KC doesn't have a great track record drafting WRs early. Mitchell is barely slower than him and weighs 20 pounds more.

Pick 60, 2 5ths, and next year's 7.

That might be even more likely. Take the same scenario I laid out but go Franklin/Mitchell/McConkey at 33, trade back in and get McConkey/Polk/Coleman, then go safety at 60. Probably not DeJean but another top safety is likely there.

Dejean at 33. Trade up in the 2nd with next year's second, the acquired third and one of the 5th rounders, pick up WR1. Pick up WR2 at 60 or with a minor trade up. It's definitely doable.

If the Bills come out of tonight with Dejean and two of either Franklin/Mitchell/McConkey/Polk/Coleman then you have to just say hats off to Beane. That would be a master class in drafting.

Yes, alongside an Aiyuk trade.

Then trade back into the 2nd and pick up Troy Franklin or McConkey, instantly one of the best WR rooms in the NFL

That's way too much to give up. I'm fine with giving up 60 this year and I could be talked into a 2-3rd next year, but they shouldn't give up pick 33.

KC isn't great at picking WRs, so it's whatever that it's KC. I'm fine with it, but this place is going to implode if we go defense with the 33 pick. Ultimately I think it's fine, just double dip at WR in the top 100.

I'm absolutely fine with taking DeJean if they mortgage some picks from next year (like the 2nd we picked up) to get back in and grab 2 WRs like McConkey/Franklin/Mitchell. Everything is definitely still fine, but I can understand everyone's apprehension.

I’d rather bet on more players than keeping our eggs in 1 basket. We now have 3 top 100 picks, I won’t be surprised if we end picking 3 times in the second round. We could get Cooper DeJean and two great WR prospects like Franklin and McConkey, or AD Mitchell. There are multiple WRs still on the board that I wouldn’t have minded them grabbing at 28, but now they get to do it at 33, so a cheaper rookie contract. And you picked up another top 100 pick along the way? That’s just good business.

I’m sorry, is the hit rate in the first round 100%? Last time I heard it was like in the 40s. You have no idea yet if we are going to get a superstar or a meh player.

Hill was lucky because of the horrific and accurate character concerns. Beane hit on a 4th and 5th round WR, and you’re trying to portray that as a negative. Rice is fine but Sky Moore is a wasted pick, Mecole Hardman is trash. The Chiefs have spent more capital on WR and have the same as the Bills to show for it.
