yeah at this point seems they're comfortable with a number of receivers left, might as well just keep trading down and letting the board fall to you at WR. Take three dart throws at receiver (two tonight and another tomorrow) and fortify the rest of the roster with as many top ~150 picks as possible. Trade 6th & 7th rounders remaining this year for 5th & 6th rounders next year

Yeah he's their new Desean Jackson but faster

Yeah... 🥺

I'm not TOTALLY opposed, but that would be prime trade back for more assets and get one top/mid 2nd round if so

And take Darius Robinson 🤣

Jalen Coker's my day 3 sleeper, hope we use a 6th on him if he's there and wouldn't hate a 5th

Bills send #28, #144, MN 2025, and Kaiir Elam to San Francisco for #31 & Brandon Aiyuk. They don't have to draft a CB early and get a better shot at an Aiyuk's replacement at 28, we get our new #1 WR and still maintain a first rounder

trade back into the second round for another day 2, then trade MN 2025 for a ~mid third rounder and you're there pretty easily

Yeah I did too. Some confusing drops, couldn't tell if maybe the sun was in his eyes or something because they were bizarre, gave me bad Gabe flashbacks. But I see his floor as a crazy fast Gabe Davis, which definitely has value, even if he only gets 3-5 targets a game but he's running 25 go routes/game his rookie year. The threat is real

Totally get it on BTJ. But he has blazing speed that has to be respected in a huge frame no less. If teams have to play high safeties or else get burned for a TD in the blink of an eye, that's where the underneath mismatches get exploited with all the short area/YAC threats we have (Kincaid, Shakir, Samuel, Cook, and Josh). So I could definitely see a bust if he's expected to be your #1 from day 1. For a fit with the pieces around him I think he works very well with the skill sets we have decided to emphasize on the roster.

Hands/RAC/speed = Legette

Can we fit his $19mil under the cap? This seems insanely cheap for him and obviously something I'd do in a heartbeat if so

Mormon country, let's ride

I used this draft chart, it's exactly even if you consider MN 2025 the equivalent of mid-third rounder this year (general rule is a 1-round discount for year-ahead picks). https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp?RequestTeam=buf Also you move up at least a round back into the end of day 3 in both scenarios as well

Thought it would be fun to try to predict some draft day trades to see which (if any) come to fruition (or close) after the fact My three favorite: Bills send #28, #60, and MN 2025 2nd rounder to Seattle for #16 and #81. Bills draft Brian Thomas Jr. with #16 and maintain a 2024 day 2 pick. Bills send #28, #60, #144 and MN 2025 to Carolina for #33, #39, and #101. Bills draft two second tier WR's at #33 & #39, get the first pick on day 3. Could easily use one of the five 4th/5th rounders to trade back into day 2 from #101. Bills send #28, #60, and MN 2025 to Washington for #36, #40, and #100. Bills draft two second tier WR's at #36 & #40, get the last pick of day 2 and maintain all picks on day 3.

Oh yeah I was referring to the supposed Herbert to MN rumor

Sorry I was joking there's no way Gabe should stop them from drafting a guy like BTJ

Figured! Wondering how that trade could work in practice then. Seems like it just couldn't?

I'm no cap expert but looks like a trade hits the Chargers with $63mil dead cap for this year? But a post June 1 trade is only $13mil? Can picks exchange hands on Thursday with a player being designated a post June 1 officially?

But they just signed Gabe Davis 🤣

Shakir is a speed slot, Samuel is not a pure outside WR, we don't have a bona fide X or Z. One pick X, one pick Z. Pretty simple. Rookie 1 starts at X over Hollins & Shorter, Rookie 2 shares snaps at Z with Samuel and some Shakir. Unless they think they can get a cheap-ish vet plug in at either X or Z post June 1 🤷‍♂️ Shorter should have been a priority FA last year not a 5th round pick. He's eminently replaceable, good practice squad option. Hollins is here for special teams unless Shorter beats him out

For sure. But you can learn from history. It doesn't typically repeat itself, but it often rhymes

2022 draft the move definitely would have been to trade back and take two day 2 swings at CB rather than trade up and force it for Elam (and still take Benford in 6th!) Could have gone Cam Taylor Britt with the trade back 2nd rounder, kept the 4th and taken Tariq Woolen, and taken Benford as a CB with potential to move over to safety. We'd be rich in CB's right now... This is about as loaded of a WR draft as that draft was at CB, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to trade back a little and take two on day 2 and another sleeper value on day 3 (Jalen Coker type)

Until we draft Legette & Polk at 33 & 39 LFGGGGGGGGGG

This certainly qualifies as master strategy! Or if CAR wants to get back into the first round, could go #28, MN 2025 2nd, #60, and #144 for #33, #39, and #101. That's almost exactly even on the Rich Hill chart if you consider MN 2025 2nd is worth a mid-third this year. Basically just turns Diggs & Bates into a total of 62 draft slots in exchange for moving 5 slots down for your first pick. Giving KC and Baltimore first crack at receivers we might want makes me a bit queasy though even if I might like that trade in a vacuum Let's get two!
