I swear if we reach for Jalin Hyatt or Josh Downs, I'm not going to be happy. I can't believe we went 1-19 without a single WR and then all 4 went in a row

If that's the case, Beane should see if he can move up to secure Jordan Addison. Would really be trash if with the way the board was falling, 3 of the top 4 WR's went all in a row.

Damn, between the Cardinals GM saying they won't be trading Hopkins this weekend, Darnell Wright going at 10, and now Jack Campbell being picked at 18 - hearts breaking all over this board.

Because you're not going to take a guy in Round 1 and then trade for Hopkins, making your 1st Round pick a #3 for years to come. Not with the holes, upgrades, and players who are FA's after this season (including the ENTIRE DT room) - and the finances it would take to get Hopkins when we already have Diggs and a 1st Rounder to go with Davis, Harty, Sherfield, and Shakir.

The problem with this is if Hopkins isn't moved during the Draft, Beane is going to take a WR and probably high. In which case, Hopkins will be out. Beane isn't going to pass on the position hoping he can get a deal done with Hopkins after. He could be left empty handed and at best, in a poor negotiating position.

Lol Somebody check on some of the posters in this thread. They are not okay.

Wow. Top 10 for Darnell Wright. Didn't see that coming.

They still have 33.

Cardinals just traded from 12 to 6. Hopefully Hopkins wasn't part of that deal.

With all those picks, is Arizona looking for even more picks for Hopkins? And if they are, this year or next year's Draft?

It could. But it could just as easily be a Trade that's done tomorrow. I was replying to someone who was saying that if it doesn't happen in the next couple hours - it won't happen until much later, possibly into the season.

The reported asking price is a 2nd Plus. The 2nd Round doesn't start until tomorrow.

I'm confused by the Titans trade on a number of levels. Arizona is giving Tennessee #3 and Hopkins and getting #11? Like what else is involved from Tennessee's end?

I mean one of the Top 4 Prospects. Do you have a Crystal Ball? You don't know who will or will not exceed expectations.

I'm going to lose it if we Draft a premier WR prospect in Round 1 and everyone is upset because they're not Hopkins.

Get off that. All Miller has said is Hopkins wants to be here and he'd love to see it. But if Beane determined the price was too great and/or prefers a long term cost controlled deal with a Rookie - it is what it is. This fatalist Hopkins or Nothing mentality is ridiculous. A 1st Round WR could turn out to be better for us than Hopkins would be. You don't know. It already has and it's embarrassing.

I never saw this as realistic. It just never made sense to me from a financial standpoint. He'd have to essentially agree to play for nothing or Beane would have to do very uncharacteristic things with the Cap that has never been his M.O. - all the while Arizona straight up giving him away. That being said, I think a lot of people are jumping the gun assuming it's a done deal to Baltimore. It's not dead yet.

You won't be ecstatic - that's not happening. We have too many needs to trade a 1st and a 3rd at WR. Especially when we already have a Top 5 WR on this team. Especially since the financials it would cost to make Hopkins work would mean we'd have to fill all other needs exclusively in the Draft. This isn't Fantasy Football or Madden. It's Flowers or Hopkins. It cannot and will not be both.

Christ man - get a hold of yourself. Embarrassing.

This has always been obvious. If the Bills take JSN, Flowers, Johnston, or Addison tonight (and I'm hoping those are the only one's they're looking at at 27) - they aren't trading for Hopkins. You don't spend a 1st on a WR when you already have Diggs and then bury them at #3 WR for multiple years. Especially with the holes we have on this team, the financials it would take for Hopkins, and the added Draft pick(s).

If the Ravens were to be considered out of it simply because they have OBJ and need to get him targets then that would mean we would have to be out of it because we have Diggs and he needs targets. I think the Ravens are out of it because they just had to give a giant bag to Lamar, just gave 15 million to OBJ, and the cryptic posts that people were reading into being Hopkins was actually just Lamar getting his deal.

Definitely not a friend congratulating another friend on their magazine shoot. It has to actually mean he's becoming a Buffalo Bill.

Gonna take a lot more than Hopkins wanting to be here and Beane being 1% interested.

I think he's just wishing. They're old College Teammates. Very likely just seeing the rumors and/or talking to him and hearing he wants to come here.
