ok. ill put them both in that box.

Really other than Penix there hasn't been a reach pick yet. Very unusual.

Jets/vikings swapped one slot...

No. Chop is quick and explosive. I wouldn't mind him at all. but id rather a trade down if thats the option.

So...this should be Spencer rattler to the saints - right??

NFL network not tipping - per se...but damn if they dont talk about the player right before he is announced...

Good pick for Jets...hate it for us.

So much for "Defense wins championships"

damn. really wanted JJ on the jets!

well that should end the trade up conversation for 10 picks or so.

28 is such a hard spot the more I look at this. Top WRs will be gone. At best we’re looking at one of Chop (exciting player - good value, but doesn’t instantly make this team better), (Latu many teams have passed over) and Cooper DeJean (similar to chop in that it’s not a huge immediate upgrade). And no guarantees any of them will even make it to 28. So at the end of the day I think we either need to move up to get a WR, or move down and pick up a 2nd 2nd and a 3rd. Then grab 2 WRs with those 3 picks.

So in short - Pegula bought the bills for 1.4B. They are now worth 3.7B (per Forbes). He sells 25% for $1B. So basically he will own 75% of the bills for $400M. Not shabby!

I wonder how 6th and 7th rounders fare....I feel like its almost as good - but maybe the exceptions are blinding me.

Good job Emerett. This is all on you.

I get diggs was a good player - but I dont know why everyone is so worried about this. A couple moves and our WR corps could easily be: WR1: Troy Franklin (or substitute in your favorite at ~pick 18 to 28) WR2: Tyler Boyd WR2: Curtis Samuel WR4: Kalil Shakir WR5: Justin Shorter (I think people are sleeping on him - but he needs to prove it) TE1: Dalton Kincaid TE2: Dawson Knox That...seems...more than okay - and ENTIRELY possible once Tre comes off the books officially. In may not look exactly like that (and it probably won't) - but thats the level which we can pretty easily get to. My bigger concern is that we now HAVE to focus on offense. We have some glaring holes on the defensive side. I think the real impact will be felt on defense where we have to start someone like Rapp because the resources have flown to the offensive side of the ball.

Im sure Beane is looking for a 1 year stopgap guy. Thats his M.O. Build through the draft, pay to keep your players, and supplement with guys on a "prove-it" deal.

I love Harrison - and I’d be thrilled to have him. But…it’s too much of a gamble. You hit - and you’re fine here. But if you miss - you’ve lost 3 or 4 years here. For a thought exercise only - imagine if you took a WR with every one of those picks. 2 first round WRs and 2 second round WRs. Now pick the best of those 4. How much better is Marvin Harrison? And how much more likely is it that Marvin Harrison will be a bust vs *all* 4 of those selections? protect the downside here. That’s too much to give up.

Ever since Maryland, I never liked Diggs. Good player. Hurts on the field to lose him. But no love lost with me. Bye. Good riddance. The Thurman/Bruce/Reed day....THAT was killer.

Well...have you seen the kind of crap Marvin Harrison Jr's dad did? Cant let that get public.

The Rams apparently hate defense

ya. Same as us until Josh. And a “lesser QB” because they are drafted later is a bad rubric. By this measure, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Roger’s and Ben Roethlisbirger were all “lesser QBs”.

JUST ENJOY IT. How much hate did Brady get?

The thing that scares me is if they hit on a QB. A good defense. A solid offense. And if they get a young QB playing on a rookie deal - they could be a real contender. Not concerned with Aaron Rodgers though. Dude is done.

Kinda amazing value was so low. I would be happy having someone like him behind Josh.

He was such an awesome talent - with no injury history before the NFL. He is also as much of a receiver and YAC guy as he is a RB. I get why people were tempted. But you’re right. The days of an NFL RB changing the game for the better part of a decade are over - at least in today’s NFL. There is no reason to spend a top pick on a RB - the same reason why there is no reason to pay them top dollar (last years fight). You can simply plug in a James cook, Isaiah Pacheo, Devon Singletary or Tony pollard and you’ll do 90% of what the top guys do for 50% (or less) of the cash.
