Allen's buddy for the rest of his career.

That highlight reel says that this guy is going to feast on back shoulder throws.

Yes, he did indeed say that but the draft is not over yet so perhaps he drafts a seemingly one-trick pony who can sprint. I dont see such a burner in the available FA pile. We still need a speed guy. Lets not talk ourselves out of that need. The deep part of the field is still not covered by anyone in the WR room yet.

I believe Beane said to Bishop "Dalton was in my ear about you a lot"

Someone check on @Kirby Jackson

Exactly!! Omg!!

I admittedly am more stressed for tonight's draft than I was for yesterday's. Most of my stress comes from the fear that we will pick a DB at #33. I really want the first pick to be a WR.

I surely cannot profess to beane's logic in not wanting Worthy. Could be because of his weakness against press coverage, his small stature, perceived Goodwin type durability issues. Maybe Franklin can provide the speed with a bit more size. But clearly Beane didnt want Worthy and there was little chance we could have prevented the Chiefs from taking him anyway. I do agree with you that today will show what Beane's plan is. Could be a disastrous one but lets wait a couple of days before making judgments on his entire draft.

On this I fully agree. But in this particular situation, imo, the Bills couldn't have stopped Chiefs from getting him anyway

My only counter is that the way to prevent Chiefs from getting Worthy was to pick him ourselves. How else would we have prevented Chiefs getting him anyway? I am guessing that Beane knew that the 3 teams in the middle did not want him I absolutely do not want to help our arch(est) rival but this sounds like a situation where the Bills got some assets while not changing any of the selections between the two teams

Excellent post. More recently, Cowboys stood still when Beane did a small trade-up and got a guy Jones coveted. I am all for a trade-up to get the guy you really want and the cost of a low draft pick to move up a few slots is forgotten very quickly. Yet some fans don't forget and keep lamenting that "yea but Beane had to use assets to move up". It doesn't matter when you land a Kincaid type player. I am very much convinced we will see a trade-up tonight.

Charming young man, ain't he?

Simply keeping up with the Chiefs means we will stay one step behind. We need to leap frog them. With weapons to over come the gap in coaching

Yessss. Thats my contention too -that more than "#1 WR" or "#2 WR", i rather think of our receivers are (in) capable of challenging the opposing D in every part of the field cos our QB can reach there without rainbowing passes. At this moment, we dont have that kind of field coverage from the WR room. The skillset leaves large areas of uncovered green. Hope that changes in the next 51 hours.

I am old but looked up in Google and still couldnt come up with anything. What does the acronym OOF mean?

It's near Redington Beach, close to St Pete

You estimate is that the WR room is bottom 3 right now. I honestly dont know the WR qualities of about 15 teams so I cant challenge nor agree with you. However, I took a swag at estimating the WR room quality in different scenarios. Do you agree? Draft one of big 3 + vet addition Top 5 Draft one of big 3 + another in Rd 4 Top 5 Draft 1A tier (BT Jr) + vet addition Top 10 Draft 1A tier (BT Jr) + another in Rd 4 Top 10 (maybe) Draft 2nd tier and any one else Middle of the road

If there is a large space overlooking the Falls, it will be a great backdrop to the event.

Waitaminute. Were you at Johns Pass boardwalk by any chance when one dude said "Go Bills" to you?

I agree. The guy I said that to in Tampa reacted in a disinterested way as if he didn't know why I said that to him. OTOH, in San Juan , there was a lady on the phone who did a double take at my shirt, told the person at the other end to hold on cos she spotted a Bills fan, come over to me and said "Go Bills". (Yet another case where I wished I was 30 years younger and unmarried. But I digress)

Maybe he bought the Bills hat in the bargain bin 10 years back and had no clue what the charging Buffalo was for.

Sure. But most teams don't have QBs whose throws cover the entire field. Whats the benefit of a good boundary receiver if the QB needs to get a running start and heave it with all power to only rainbow a pass to him?

By far the coolest story in this thread so far. I am mostly surprised in Wisconsin when people wearing Packers gear say "Go Bills" to me. Maybe its the kinship of fans from small town franchises.

Something different from the overload of draft and WR threads... Occasionally when I travel, I spot someone wearing Bills hat or T-shirt and of course I say "Go Bills" when I pass that person. The same happens when I have my Bills gear on. Most recently, it happened in San Juan, Puerto Rico in December and Tampa about 10 days back. I am also tempted to ask that person if he/she is a member of TBD, but for some reason never have. Mostly it is because of my apprehension about that person's demeanour and how willing that person is to a Bills conversation with a random guy. So my question is - have any of you also felt this way? WOuld you ask about TBD or just leave it at "Go Bills"? (Mods - if this thread is not appropriate for the main forum, feel free to move it)

I know you are joking but the gas from such a well is currently selling for historically low prices. The US is producing way too much natural gas right now.
