Dr. Who

I saw that podcast, and I value Cosell's take. I still think Beane planned on Diggs being here in 2024. I don't think he's falling off a cliff. My guess was he is still a solid WR2 caliber player, at least. Draft pick compensation is a legit consideration.

He was excellent at Georgia. I was surprised at how often he dropped the ball.

My man, I always feel better about the universe when we agree.

I hate them both, so conflicted. I wish they could both lose.

Human nature is a constant, alas.

Good point. I just want all the UGA players. Ladd, though, I really wanted. Coleman and Ladd would have been fine by me, but they would have had to trade way up from 60. That wasn't going to happen, and I like Cole Bishop, so just have to sigh about it.

Man, if he's Eric Moulds, I am going to change my tune.

I really don't trust Pegula to make that decision. I understand the frustration.

I don't know, but I think there is more room for them this year. Noticed that Rosemy-Jacksaint signed with Washington. Was hoping we might get him.

He has very short arms, and while powerful, limited athleticism. He's an absolute warrior. I think he could be your starting Center for a decade, but I don't see him as a guard.

I think the OP is correct that the current WR room with Diggs was a plausible plan. However, the urgency certainly is a product of relative neglect of the WR position at the top of the draft. I love Kincaid, and he could become a primary weapon, actually. Nonetheless, the Bills were able to be held hostage by Diggs' tantrums because they didn't have anyone else to turn to. There weren't any emerging young WRs who might grow into WR1. That player should already have been on the team.

One of the reasons he dropped is he is pretty much limited to Center. I think we're a much stronger unit if he ends up able to start, with McGovern back at guard.

Ladd McConkey is going to be a very good pro in my estimation. Folks can speculate whatever they like, and attach requisite names, positive or Josh Rosenish.

Dammit man, now you know WarriorSpikes is going to run with this and speculate that Brown is getting traded to SF as part of a bid to grab Aiyuk.

Yes, I guess I don't know why you chose this thread to post those thoughts. I don't think the haters are likely to show up in abundance here, and the overall theme of the OP and those who agree with him is much more nuanced, and quite opposed to extravagant hatred for this particular draft. I could be wrong, of course.

I mean, he was born to play for us.

I don't think you're on an island. The WR room with Diggs added looks a lot better. One can only surmise how toxic things must have become that Beane felt compelled to move him and take a huge cap hit.

The OP, and many of the folks who are contributing to this thread, begin by conceding that it was a solid draft. That's stipulated at the beginning. Did you read it, because your response is addressed to those who assert something else? And I don't see an abundance of negative emojis . . .

Most folks take explosive to mean fast and gets separation. I guess you have a different definition.

I wish some putative journalist would ask Beane about that point blank, but I'm sure he'd just say the board worked out a certain way, and they had to adapt.

It was absolutely a solid draft. There's no question, we have put young leadership in place, and strengthened weak spots on the roster. We have not sufficiently improved the WR room, which I think should have been a priority. It's not clear to me it ever will truly be such with this regime. They need some elite playmakers. I don't think Coleman is that. He's a better Gabe Davis, which isn't terrible, but not enough.

Yeah, it's not encouraging. I don't know who can be added. I'm sure they'll bring in a veteran. Someone will shake loose after the draft.

Well, he was lying when he said he wanted to add explosive wide receivers to the room that could create separation. Maybe he's lying now. I agree about the "really disappointing."

I've been told it's impossible, I guess because of the cap, but I am still going to hold out hope there is a way to bring in Aiyuk. He's exactly what we need.

With Josh Allen at QB. It's criminal if that's the plan.
