Gabe replacement comes at #28 or earlier with a trade up

Looks to me like kj’s stats last year were worse than 2021 and 2022 Bit on a 1st rd wr and that changes quickly

We cut him so glad for him that he found a place to play

All true - there are a lot of UFA safeties - I’m sure Beane will sign one but isn’t paying a lot. Otherwise he would have kept poyer at $6m

Good safeties can be found late in the draft. Hyde and poyer, for instance, were both late rd picks I believe

I’m saying wr at #17, specifically Thomas if he’s still available. If he’s gone you stay at 28 and take your fav of worthy, Legette, Ladd, or Adonai. My preference is Ladd but I don’t think that’s buffalo preference. Adonai has buffalo written all over them

So if we’re still a little over the cap, we need to restructure/extend players before the leagues new year starting tomorrow. So we should hear something in Milano/Taron I would think??

Whom else could be signed elsewhere and give us comp picks? Off the top of my head, Hyde, Dane Jackson, Dodson, Poona ford, that other DT we signed, Sherfield, maybe more? none of these would bring much but still could bring something. A 7th could turn into a Dane Jackson type or a punter

Problem is Lamar is still their QB come playoff time - All he does is find ways to lose

Josh has never been one to ruffle feathers, so he's never "forcing himself out of Buffalo."

Interesting concept of Josh Bolting to California after 2026. Maybe explain how he's getting out of the 2027 and 2028 portion of his current contract.......waiting with popcorn.....

the player or the coaching? Though I never like Levi, though he was an UDFA so shouldn't have expected much

And also use a 5th, maybe even a 4th fro a 2nd WR

JAG: nothing more, maybe less

Agreed. I see us signing a Mooney type UFA for around $5m and trading up in the 1st for the Wr we want. Beane isn’t using all 11 draft picks and easily had the ammunition to move from 28 to the mid/high teens if Thomas falls to there

Agreed. I think Beane really wants Thomas but wont be able to get him unless he drops into the 20s

I still find myself gravitating to McConkey at 28. I know at 6'0" he's not a true outside receiver, but I think he'd move all around our offensive scheme and catch 80-100 passes. Combine him with a more tradition outside wr via UFA or maybe draft another WR in rd 4 like Johnny wilson, Brenden Rice (pedigree), Javon Baker or Jacob Cowing. I just have a feeling if we don't draft McConkey we'll regret it. NOW, if Thomas slips to 28, or if we can trade up to grab him, I'm all for that!! Will be fun nonetheless

I think you have it backwards. McConkey you’d have to take at 28 and Legette at 60. Might have to trade up a bit to get Legette, but wouldn’t cost you a ton to move from 60 to like 50. This is my plan B: McConkey then a true z receiver like Legette, worthy, Pearsall or Franklin. plan A is trade up for Thomas either plan would be dynamic with Josh: diggs, McConkey, Legette, Shakir and our TEs or diggs, Thomas, Shakir, our TEs and a late round WR both scenarios are very possible as we have 11 picks and Beane isn’t drafting 11 players

Ladd is growing on me. If Thomas is gone, i would take Ladd at 28 and back it up by taking Legette/Corley/Johnny Wilson at 60. Torn between Ladd, Mitchell and Franklin though

Where’s the college production though? Worrisome and I know he was injured last year

Any of these 4 will do fine and thinking 2-3 will be available when we pick, probably 2 but we only need 1

He's growing on me. Returns punts too. A bit worried he wasn't the #1 at texas, but, Cooke wasn't the #1 at UGA either I guess. How did Texas ever lose with him and Mitchell at WR?

Don’t overestimate worthy cuz of the 40 / he was the #2 wr at Tex’s. If bills go wr at 28 they’ll get one of Thomas, Mitchell or Franklin which are all great

McConkey doesn’t fit what we need. Still like him despite not much in the stat area college wise. I still think we take Franklin or Thomas if either are avail at 28

Is Thomas not running a warning flag? Whomever was advising Coleman should have told him do not run at the combine
