I just did a mock and took
#28: McConkey at 28 (there was a run on WRs and it was between him and Worthy)
#60: Traded #60 and (2) 5ths to move up to #52 and took Legette
Pretty realistic if Beene's wants to stack WR's. I would love this as I have a serious man crush on McConkey but would to pair him with a more natural X receiver.

I'm intrigued by the possibility of taking WRs with our first 2 picks (however we get there) depending who still is on the board in the second and how much it might cost to move up. Don't see it as a real possibility though given other needs.
Beene has done a pretty good job filling other needs. The biggest needs, other than WR are Edge and safety and maybe a 3rd string RB. If he stands pat, he could draft wr's with the first 2 picks. My favorite idea is:
#28 McConkey
#60 Walker (maybe a small trade up for Legette or Franklin if they fall)

What if Thomas is there? Legit WR1 prospect that is 6'3" with a 4.34 forty time doesn't come around that often. I am not sure they can pass that up if he makes it to 28, although I don't expect him to. I know he has his own question marks and areas to improve, but that is a pretty sexy package for Allen if he is on the board at 28.
If Thomas isn't drafted in the first 18, i think Beene is trying desperately to trade up for him. I think there's a 30% chance he falls to 19/20. No way in the world he falls to 28 because someone (KC, etc) would jump Buffalo to grab him before Buffalo. For all we know, Beene may have another receiver rated higher?? They've spent a lot of time with Franklin and have been kinked to Coleman and Mitchell. The only top guy they haven't been linked to - no meetings, etc is McConkey - Smokescreen or not a fit??

still waiting to see what Blackmon does. Would love for him to accept the contract offer we supposedly presented him with.
Take Safety off the board for us. As it is, there's likely to be good value at Safety in Round 4 anyway. No need to take one highper my draft blog above, I just tried a mock draft to see if it was pracitcal:
#28 came around and all tier 2 wr's were available. SF offered e #31 and their 2025 2nd for #28 I accepted.
with #31 I took mitchell
I have an unexplainable love for McConkey and when he was still available at #44, I traded #60 and our 2025 2nd for #44 and grabbed McConkey. so, net, i have the same amount of picks left and grabbed Adalai Mitchell and McConkey. Great WR room now and gives us option flexibility with Diggs in 2025 and beyond

The only way anything else should even be considered is if a top 12-15 player drops to 28
I’d say 70% chance Beane is moving up for WR. Whether that’s 2-5 picks, into the teens or top 10 will be interesting!
Beane does like to move up but it may not make sense this year. He's not trading into the top 10 to get one of the top 3 and Thomas probablly goes in the lowe to mid teens. Too rich to move up to that. Unless Beane really loves a guy in tier 2, there's no reason to move up from 28 as a few of these guys will be there: Mitchell, Franklin, coleman, Worthy, McConkey. I would rather trade down into the early 2nd and grab ones of these guys and an extra pick (2025 2nd or 2024 3rd is about proper value). The only was I see Beane trading up is:
1. If Thomas drops to around 19/20 = doubtful
2. Beane loves one of the tier 2 guys better than the rest and wants to make sure he gets him = like he did with Kinkaid. Probably not necessary, but he may do it.

if Sweat is there at 60, I’d still be very interested. If not that, one of the LSU DT’s in the 4th, the Baylor DT or Northern Iowa DT on Day 3
EDGE is a much bigger need right now. Was hoping for Clowney but his price tag was too high

if he's an upgrade over Settle and Ford then great. Little moves like this increased WR as our first pick, so I'm all for DL signings

If he's there, it would be a solid pick. BUT if done, he better be prepared to trade up from 60 to the 40s to grab a Fanklin/Legette type unless they're highon Walker (NC) who should be available at 60.

Think trading Diggs and our 2nd rounder can move us up about 10 spots in the 2nd round. Which I’d say is a bigger loss to our team than gain.Wake up people (not pointed at you Strive) it is absolutely impossible to trade Diggs this year. It would be a $30 million cap hit and we can't sustain that. Next year is a different story.
My draft strategy:
#28 McConkey - I'm not worried he's not a pure X receiver. He's still 6') 195 (not small) and has great speed. He will catch 100 balls each year. Think Cole Beasley quickness and hands with Eric Mould speed.
#60 Walker or a trade up to #45 Legette. Here I get my true X. You have Josh Allen - you give him every weapon you can and this protects against Diggs' future

36
Troy Franklin WR | Oregon
I was watching Brian Thomas and ready to trade up but he went too early. Bills seem to have a lot of interest in Franklin but I had no interest in him at 38. So I traded 28 to Washington for 36, a 3rd and a 5th
58Tyler Nubin S | Minnesota
Shocked to dee Nubin there, I trade up to spots with Green Bay, giving up a 5th to grab him
67 Christian Haynes
IOL | UConn
With the 3rd from Washington, I filled a need and took the BPA
97 Javon Bullard
S | Georgia
Hoping to have my next Poyer/Hyde pair, I traded 128, 144 and 160 to Cincinatti for 97. A steep price, but Bullard was by far the best player on the board and hopefully now I'll have my two stud safeties for the forseeable future (I'm not a fan of Rapp nor Edwards)
139 Gabriel Murphy
EDGE | UCLA
Going a but with need from now on, I had options but had the BPA at Dline/edge
163 Justin Eboigbe
DL | Alabama
Best Player Available at Dline
200 Keith Randolph Jr.
DL | Illinois
Double up at Dline as I love Randolph's upside
204 Dillon Johnson
RB | Washington
New 3rd string RB
248 J.D. Bertrand
LB | Notre Dame
Special teams player to start

I think Beane is taking a WR with his first pick. I don't think that will be at #28.
(1) A move up to the late teens for Thomas
(2) A drop back to the low 40s for Franklin, McConkey, Legette, Worthy, etc - whomever drops to there and a couple will. It depends on who they are targeting, if they are targeting Thomas and if Thomas drops to the high teens. My gut is it's either Thomas at 17-19 or Franklin at 35-42

6 foot and 4.3 speed isn’t small or slow. He isn’t big but I think we need speed.I agree, If we trade up it has t be for Thomas; otherwise I want McConkey at #28; and a more tradition X later in the draft. The draft is so deep at WR, I wouldn't mind going McConkey at 28 and someone like Legette (if he makes it there) or Walker. DT is deep enough to wait on, Safety. we signed two guys.
1 minute ago, schoolhouserock said:I know many would call it a slight reach, but I would be 100% OK with Pearsall at #28.
I think if you want someone like Pearsall, Legette or Franklin (over a Worthy or Mitchell, you absolutely trade back into the early part of Rd 2 and Grab another 2nd. Yu don't take Pearsall at 28.

Taron Johnson’s extension now in the numbers. $12.5 under the cap before the recent signings. Beane says he has about $8 million.
and $18 million post 6.1.24
$7 million: Clowney 3 years 25 million, $9 million signing bonus, salaries; $2 million/$6 million/$8 million
$3 million: Hyde, 1 more year, 1 year $3 million
$3 million: Trey, 3 years $20m; $3 million singing bonus, salaries: $2 million/$6 million/$8 million
$15 million left for Picks/Taxi Squad; call it a great offseason

After doing thorough research, if Thomas jr falls to the late teens, you do whatever you need to trade up and get him. The dropoff from the top three to him is slight and a lot less than him to the next batch. 28, our 2025 2nd and a midround 2024 pick or two should get it done. He's that good

They need to draft 2 receivers including one in the first round so they can get off of these bad contracts. Diggs is no longer worth #1 money, this is why I never liked the Johnson extension. Beanne needs to be careful handing out contracts and I will still be in favour of trading Diggs after June 1 if Beane can move up and grab a top receiver in this draft.
Yep - would love a wr with our first pick (wherever it may end up being); Thomas, worthy, Mitchell then one later / McCaffrey or that 6’6” guy etc

Edwards is JAG, more as a Hamlin replacement than a starter I’m thinking. If Hyde doesn’t retire don’t be surprised to see him back cheap.

Even though we have 11 picks already, I don’t hate a trade down into the early/mid 2nd. Thats the territory for the worthy’s, Legette, McConkeys and Franklin’s. Not sure why a team would be trading up to 28? Maybe a qb the that 5th year option. With 12+ total picks, that would also give us ammunition to trade up in the 2nd and 3rd to grab players.
say something like this, with trades
38 legette
55 sweat (that big DT)
70 a safety like kitchen

I’d be okay with a DeJean or DL in rd 1 if we get a Legette type in rd 2. After the top 4 wr’s , all likely gone before we pick (barring a high cost to move in the teens) the 10th wr is probably just as likely to success as the 5th.

I agree - Edge is our biggest need and I would definitely try to trade up to TB. Alternatively, what would it cost to trade up to JAX (17) to grab Thomas? Would #30, a 4th and the 2025 2nd be in the ballpark?
