I mean no offense, but I wouldn't consider the players on your list simply being Drafted as being a "hit". I think most of us who did work on these guys could tell that the guys who were Drafted were going to be Drafted somewhere. I would count the "hits" as players being taken where you placed them. There's a disconnect between how you viewed a number of these prospects and how the league as a whole viewed them. A number of guys weren't Drafted near where you had them ranked - whether they were Drafted higher than you had them or lower than where you had them. Granted, teams have way more information than you and I do. Character, work ethic, and medical come into play just as much as the tape itself.

He's incorrect on a Comp Pick in the 6th. That was projected for Dane Jackson's contract with the Panthers but was cancelled out by the Curtis Samuel signing. What we're looking at right now from what we had, what we moved, projected comp picks (from Spotrac's Comp Guy - who reported on the Dane/Samuel cancellation), and what we've acquired is as follows: Round 1 Round 2 (from Minnesota via Houston for Diggs) Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 4 (from Chicago for 2024 5th) Round 4 (Projected Comp for Davis) Round 5 (Projected Comp for Floyd) Round 6 Round 6 (from NYG for Basham and 2025 7th)

I believe he's asking how many have made the 53. Not how many we signed or put on the Practice Squad.

Josh Allen said he watched a lot of Wide Receivers this offseason and that Keon Coleman was the guy he wanted to play with. If Josh thinks he's the guy that will work best with his style - that's all I need to hear.

Well, you know, unless you see them posting videos on TikTok and their Instagram Stories - it's impossible they're putting work in.

You'd think Josh Allen would have taught posters around here to not judge a Draft Pick before they've even played a down in the NFL. Setting yourself up for a potentially embarrassing cold take.

The Panthers signed him to that, not us.

Kind of a long shot unless we keep 4 on the 53. He's not beating out Cook, Davis, or Ty.

He was actually amongst the Top 25 highest rated Undrafted players on ESPN's Big Board. So more than just a joke. Though @LabattBlue joked it was a no brainer for us in the post I made about the top Undrafted before we did it.

Haha you called it!

You heard wrong

Honestly surprised he didn't choose San Francisco.

35 Wide Receivers were Drafted. A really high number - but that speaks to the kind of class it is. I agree though, what's left after those 35 is uninspiring.

I'm more surprised by Gabe Hall going unlocked. Taylor reportedly BOMBED the Pre-Draft process. I was hearing of him careening down Draft boards weeks ahead of the Draft.

Here's a list of the top 25 rated players available that went Undrafted - according to ESPN: LB Curtis Jacobs - Penn State DT Gabe Hall - Baylor DE Gabriel Murphy - UCLA OG Javion Cohen - Miami RB Blake Watson - Memphis S Beau Brade - Maryland CB Dwight McGlothern - Arkansas DT Leonard Taylor III - Miami OG Julian Pearl - Illinois DE Trajan Jeffcoat - Arkansas TE Brevyn Spann-Ford - Minnesota DE Nelson Ceaser - Houston C Charles Turner III - LSU TE Dallin Holker - Michigan State TE Trey Knox - South Carolina DT Keith Randolph Jr. - Illinois CB Josh Wallace - Michigan DT Fabien Lovett Sr. - Florida State WR Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint - Georgia S Demani Richardson - Texas A&M OG Keaton Bills - Utah DE Eric Watts - UConn OG Matthew Jones - Ohio State S Andre' Sam - LSU OG Carsen Barnhart - Michigan https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft/bestavailable/_/position/ovr

Stop it. Coleman is more than Kelvin Benjamin. I know you preferred others over him - but you're being hyperbolic and extremely unfair of how he was viewed by the team, Josh Allen, and many experts as a whole. Coleman is WORLD'S more athletic than Benjamin. He knocked literally everything out of the park save for timed speed. He was the highest rated WR available on Friday's ESPN big board. Just because you preferred others doesn't make him Kelvin Benjamin. I warned you all offseason that you were being too unrealistic and over the top with what you were hoping for. The hissy fit you've been spamming over multiple threads all weekend is getting tiring.

Well, let's review: We lost Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Deonte Harty, and Trent Sherfield. We gained Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, and Mack Hollins. We also have Justin Shorter ready to roll off Red Shirt. In my eyes, Coleman replaces Davis, Samuel replaces Harty, and Hollins replaces Sherfield. However, if Beane is to be believed, he feels Coleman is a #1 right out of the gate. That's lofty expectations for a Rookie - so I'll believe that's their plan when I see it. If they plan on using Samuel as an exclusively Outside WR (which would also be surprising), I suppose he could replace Davis and Coleman replaces Diggs. With Shakir and Kincaid working the middle of the field. That's not as unequipped as everyone likes to think it is. Though I'd be surprised if we didn't add someone - at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. I think they want all 4 of those guys to get as much opportunities as possible. Especially Coleman, Kincaid, and Shakir. Adding someone else would take away from them and I could see a scenario where he doesn't want that.

Good news for you - we didn't Double Down and only addressed 1 of our 2 major holes at WR. So now you can obsess over big name trades all off season and ignore realistic options for posts like "Jamarr Chase - Who would say no to this trade?"

Haha - that was my thought too. When a random International player that was there walked out, I lol'ed.

If you were looking for a Big True X and you had concerns with Mitchell (as we clearly did) - it was Coleman and then Polk. Considering Polk was taken at 37 (higher than expected) - if we didn't take Coleman at 33 he would have went by 37, if not higher.

Or maybe you shouldn't have set your expectations so *RIDICULOUSLY* high. We took the guy both the brass and Josh wanted. I'm sorry that it wasn't one of the guys you wanted.

INCREDIBLE story!

Gabe Hall still available. That's a surprise to me. Would be a good grab at this point. As is Brendan Rice. At this point, we're just getting a jump on UDFA's.

Damn there goes Joe Milton. At this point, I thought he'd be a good grab as a PS player to develop as potentially a long term backup to Josh.

He wasn't taken until Day 3. EVERY team in the league passed on him multiple times. There were more flaws on the tape then his fans wanted to admit. He had quite possibly the worst Combine I've ever seen. And then he reportedly bombed in interviews with teams questioning his love of the game and desire to work to be great. We did a lot of work on him. We interviewed him at the Combine. We had him do a private workout for us. It's clear that he simply didn't pass the tests and it wasn't for a lack of trying on our part and we obviously weren't the only ones that felt that way.
