    Gee I speculated this weeks ago as a guy who used to work in college football. Highly athletic specimens don’t flounder for 4 years unless unless their dumb or they have a crappy attitude 

    Just wondering...What was the QB situation for those 4 years? Has anyone maybe considered that into the equation?

    I'd also prefer that if they're available.  I'm not sure they will be,  and the rest of the DE/DL prospects that seem likely to be there at 60 seem pretty ordinary to me.  Maybe a little better at DT than DE,  but it's still not much more than a 50-50 preference compared to a safety.  And I think they have a more immediate need at the latter.  

    I think they will use the mantra BPA no matter what. I wouldn't be opposed at all with them getting Latu and then moving up in the 2nd. If we ended up with Wilson and Burton/Baker/Walker, I would not complain. If Latu can be had from 24 to 27, I don't think I could pass that up.  IDK, I'm just driving myself crazy. 8 more days.

    I'm leaning more and more to the idea that,  if the Bills keep pick 28,  it will be McConkey.  Just in terms of pre-draft visits the last few years,  they seem to have a significant preference for these types of speed/quickness/route-running types early and less apparent concern for height/weight.  Ignoring the top 3 that they have no shot at,  McConkey seems like the best overall of that sub-group,  IMO,  and I think I've about settled on him as WR 5 in this draft. 

     

    If they can add both him and Legette,  I'd definitely be happy.  I'm just not sure how.  I think we're more likely looking at McConkey OR Legette at 28 and maybe whatever is left at 60 or one of the better mid-round prospects in a trade into R3. 

    I'd rather they went Dline in the 2nd especially if they can get Sweat., Fiske or whatever. Somehow, some way BB has to create a 3rd without trading back from 60.

    I think you'd have to count on spending a 2025 second. I think that could get you around pick #40.

    I have a hard time seeing him making it to 40. I struggle with the question of would it be better to get the big guy first and maybe then try for a Wilson or Pearsall? I think it would be a miracle to get Ladd and Legette.

    I think if they stick at #28, Beane ought to take McConkey. Then trade up in the second to secure Legette, presuming he doesn't sneak into the first round. McConkey is a top 5 or 6 WR, imo, and I think he can be a volume WR his first year.

    I agree with this. Question is how far up can they get?...and what would it take?

    I see Von, who might be finished. AJ, who’s never put it all together. And Rousseau, a legit starting edge.

     

    Edge is worse or equal to WR. 

    Not to mention Von's probably 3rd down only.

    Yeah, that compensation isn't happening. I'm not sure what chart you're looking at, but a 2nd in 2025 isn't getting you 8 spots in the 1st, 9 spots in the 2nd, and a 3rd Round pick. That's not even possible in Madden. 

    Maybe not, but no package of picks from this year will. I'm just keeping in mind there are multiple teams with 2 in the 2nd and 2 in the 3rd.

     

    Right now we may probably get starters at 28 and 60 but after that?

  8. I would target the Steelers at 20. I'm trading a 2025 2nd (likely from Minn.) to...

     

    swap 28 for 20

    swap 60 for 51

    receive pick 84

     

    If BT is there, great, if he's gone take Latu. No way he gets to 28.

     

    BTJR at 20  Sweat at 51 or Latu and move up in the 2nd for WR

    I’d be fine with Saumataia if he could start at RG this season. Then, depending on how he pans out, kick him out out RT if we lose Brown.  

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'm fine with RG and wouldn't mess with it.

     

    Btw. IMO, the trade back would be moronic. 13 spots out of the 1st for 88?  I hope that doesn't happen.

    And there lies the biggest problem.  We should've been transitioning to more man coverage years ago. I'm willing to give Kaiir one more year to improve his zone play. And if he can't accomplish that with a new coach then cut his ass.

    I heard McD in a presser saying exactly what I posted. What I heard lead me to believe he feels some innovation on D is in store...and I hope so.

    He mentioned the need to zig when they think you're zagging.

    I'd even trade a 2025 second and a couple later pics to ensure the deal gets done, then you could still draft another receiver in the first or second round this year and the whole group would be extremely formidable. I'd even prefer to go best player available in the first round and then move up a good ways in the second round and get the receiver then. Landing Aiyuk would actually give us multiple options and not be forced into anything.

    Maybe this is a draft day decision. If the board goes haywire, maybe they have a plan

    I took Legette for the Commanders because I think the guy is gonna be a beast. I also think the style of offense Kingsbury wants to run warrants the selection. Lastly, I took Legette to let those who were hoping to say "I told you so" about the trade back bask in their utter disappointment. So they would cuss at the monitor or the screen in their hands because the team in front of the Bills took who many of them were hoping to get. 

     

    Now people have to reason within themselves and come up with an explanation as to why they believe in Franklin. It's kind of comical actually. This isn't knocking those who truly believe in Franklin, that he could be a difference maker. This is a dig at those now trying to act like he would be perfect for this team due to nothing other than a number on a selection card. 

     

    P.S. ~ I voted to take Franklin here as well, and don't think the perceived sub-par Combine outweighs what you see from him on the game tape. But all of you know, because I have said it time and time again, Legette is my guy. :thumbsup:

    Even though one might guess your name to be Richard, everything was true....or a very possible reality.

    WRs I’d be disappointed we lost out on if we traded back, ranked:

     

    Legette 

    Ladd

    Worthy

    Franklin

    Keon 

     

     

    So if 5 minimum go in RD 1 - MHJ, Nabers, Rome, Thomas, Mitchell - and we are up at pick 28 - can’t trade back more then say 36-40.  Those guys could be gone.  

    I'm not ok with moving back. If a Chop or Darius, Nix or Pennix is still on the board, I might go back  to 31...for a 3rd.

    I'm hoping that being fully healthy this season & showing some flashes that he has when playing that the switch will turn on & he will become the player they thought he would be & our secondary will be as strong or better for it with him coming around !! 

    I think he'll get better, maybe very good. McD said that he realizes the need to incorporate more man. He said we need to be able to adapt.

     

    I didn't know if I'd ever see this from him ever or not, but very encouraged.

    Troy Franklin obviously interests the Bills, but I don’t think he is worth a late first round pick.  He would certainly have a chance to help the Bills passing offense right away, but I have a lot of reservations about him.  I think the number of visits and workouts he has had with the Bills means that they are still not sure what to make of him.  Is he what he looked like on film or is he what he looked like at the Combine?  I think at minimum he can be Gabe Davis - better in the passing game, but nowhere near the blocker Davis is.  I’m concerned about inconsistent hands, his thin stature and whether he can become a more refined route runner.  If he reaches his potential, he might become a good deep threat who can make plays at the intermediate level as DBs will have to respect his deep speed.  I don’t think he will be dominant, but he could be good+.

    I think McKinstry would be interesting.  I don’t think it’s out of the question that he could beat out Douglas or Benford.  CB is a much bigger need than many think.

    I’ll play: how would Chop Robinson, Laiatu Latu or Jared Verse impact the Bills?

    If this guy makes it to 20...hopefully 24-26, you have to take him and then start wheeling and dealing to get back in the WR game.

    I'm a no on Chop and Verse is long gone.

    No one seems to want to play by the initial rules. I think the way it is supposed to work, you comment on a player, then propose someone else for the next poster to comment on, and so forth. Regardless, I'll comment on your comment on Bowers and propose someone to think about (and note: the game is not confined to pick #28, so you can name someone who would be picked later on.)

     

    Some will think you are simply replicating Kincaid by choosing Bowers. I think Bowers can play outside some, and I'd be tempted to try that experiment, but you would have to trade up for Bowers about as far as you would trade up for maybe Odunze. You can trade up for Thomas at the same or lesser price point, and I would expect that is the route Beane would go if he made that investment.

     

    Player for next poster to consider: T'Vondre Sweat.

    I would love Sweat. How far will he fall? K.C getting him would make me ill.

    I think that I agree here. With the Bills resetting the cap next year though, it could make sense. It could be both as well. If the Bills make the deal referenced above (for example) they can still take a guy at 28 because they have a starting spot available. If you added Ayiuk (for example) you can take a higher upside guy with some question marks at 28 (Mitchell, Legette or gasp, Coleman). I’m not advocating for it but could certainly get behind it. 

    Ladd and Legette would be really nice IMO. 

    But if one were forced to choose, do you take Ladd, miss Legette and shoot for Walker/ Burton /Baker/Polk?  Or get Leggette than maybe target a Pearsall?

     

    Ladd and Legette would a dream to me.

    Next year’s first might not even be worth pick 41 in this draft.  You are unlikely to get 41+ more for it.  It’s poor business overall trading future picks.

    I know where you stand on this, but in my gut BB is gonna produce 2 extra picks and look to stock the cupboard. And how is he gonna achieve that?

    It sure as Hell ain't gonna be by using late round picks.  They wouldn't get us to 100.

     

    Trading back from 28 just to have something to move up from 60 with would not make much sense....to me.

    So it's gonna have to come from 25. And if next year we're supposed to have plenty of FA money, we should try to make hay in this draft.

    • Agree 1
  18. I'm for keeping 28 unless someone like Latu, Thomas or Murphy are there 24-28.

     

    But, I am all for trading next years 1st to maybe GB for 41 and 88....unless there's a better deal to be made.

     

    Point is we need 4 picks in the first 100 and our later picks can be used to jockey around if need be. We still have 2 2nds next year.

    I would not want to trade next year’s picks this year.  Going in, you are accepting $0.50 on the dollar when you do that.  The 2025 picks are worth a round more next year than they are this year.

    2025 Picks be damned. We need pieces in place this year and it just so happens to be a good year to do it.

     

    For example: If somehow Murphy or Latu make it to 24, IDK if I can pass that, so that means throwing a 2025 1st, 26-32 pick and a 2nd in that area to get right back in the game. I'd turn that 1st into a 2nd and 3rd and that 2nd for a 3rd.

     

    I'm not worried. We can get a WR at 28  then whatever at 60 and sit on our thumbs for 68 more picks. Does anyone really think that's what will happen?

    Beane's gonna have an amazing draft!

    I am really coming around to McConkey.  Allen often talks about how so much of his game is based on being on the same page with his receiver, almost by feel as opposed to rigid timing and routes.  Of all the prospects, I can picture Allen maximizing that with McConkey compared to the others.

    True, but I'd rather get the size and speed while the gettings there. I would love if they could land both, but if not, give me Legette and Pearsall.
