Dr. Who

It's so evident Granato needs to go. Hire Lindy Ruff. At least bring in someone with NHL pedigree that will hold the team accountable. Get Peca back as an assistant. Get someone who knows how to coach the PP. Bales is the only fellas that should stay.

I guess you have a 2nd still for 2025. I'm not sure Beane would be willing to invest that for this strategy. He'd have to invest that much if he plans on moving up for a top 3 WR, though, so this is an interesting alternate strategy. I think Walker at 66 is overkill, and I am someone who wants 2 WRs early now. Maybe they plan on signing Simmons post 6/1 with Tre's money. Otherwise, S needs to be a consideration. I like Tykee Smith, who you may be able to pick up in the fourth. Folks like Bullard and Bishop are 3rd rounders. You might have to double up the DT at 66 and take a S at 88. I think they need to add OL depth, CB, and RB2 at some point. Overall, this strategy could work, but I have a feeling Beane is going to move up for a WR, rather than sit there and wait for 28.

It's a strong draft at CB and mediocre at S. I think they need to take a safety, but I also hope they grab a CB because of the quality at the position.

Tykee Smith is a better choice at S, I think.

Everyone knows that. It doesn't mean that trading up for WR is eternally off the table because of it.

They need a complementary RB2. They don't need to be spending a day 2 pick on RB. An Estime or Kendall Milton late, some bruiser type.

Some folks think Troy Franklin should be added to that list. I like Legette and McConkey. I wouldn't mind ending up with both of them somehow.

Maybe we have a different definition of JAG. I don't think Kincaid or Cook are JAGS. Regardless, what's the point of analyzing the offensive weapons before the draft, when it is apparent that Beane traded Diggs with an eye to upgrading the WR room in the draft?

If Diggs had not become utterly toxic in the locker room, they wouldn't have traded him. It's surmise, because they aren't explicitly declaring what the problems were, but Beane's actions give credence to that opinion. Whether he was injured or not, the second half of last year and the post-season is not much to miss. If he had indeed become that kind of distraction and emotional sink, I don't think he'll be all that missed. "The Great White hope" is rather repulsive rhetoric. Kincaid, spell his name correctly, maybe, flashed enough in his rookie year to be a genuine source of optimism. It's not manufactured, and he can be a game changer. He's not a field stretcher, but he has pretty good range for a big slot. He also has a feel for the open spaces. Curtis Samuel is a swiss-army knife type. To simply peg him as a redundant slot is not quite accurate. In general, your attempt to paint a worst-case-scenario is somewhat tendentious. They will add a RB2 and at least one and probably 2 WR. If they go up and get one of the top 3, that is not a "lucky to have WR2" situation.

Cook needs to stop the drops, but I think he's clearly above average. The positions you identify are correct. I still want them to add RB2 and OL help. It's a good draft for CB, too, so they should add one. WR is where they absolutely have to hit it out of the park. It's a terrible draft for edge, and mediocre at S. I kinda hope Beane circles back on Simmons after the draft, but Tykee Smith is a nice mid-round S.

Zebra-Taylor Swift-Roger Goodell special.

It's early for him, but if Beane doesn't have a third, I am thinking about Cole Bishop Utah S. I wanted Bullard, but some traitor GM took him right before us.

I've already used up my allotment of positive emojis on you in this thread. This is correct. Character is destiny. I think it's at least a plausible happening. I like the double dip with Mitchell/Legette and McConkey. I would do that, and honestly, it's the feasible path I hope for, because I doubt we end up with one of the top 3. But if this option really does become possible, you have to take your shot. I think Nabers is a future superstar, and he would open up the entire offense. It's an exponential add.

That's right. I think one of the seconds next year might be in play if they attempt this route. They might go big and try and get one of the top 3. I think Thomas will likely be expensive now, too. If they don't, this is my preferred strategy. And I just like McConkey better than most. I think he's a contributor right out of the box, and a perfect match with Kincaid.

Listen, if everyone read more, posted less, and kept within the bounds of reason, this place would be a ghost town.

Well, I like Braelon Allen, but I don't think there's much chance he is available when we might think about taking a RB. And I like Kendall Milton late, though he also has an upright running style.

McConkey lined up on the outside for 70% of his snaps with UGA. I'd love the pick, but they'd still have to add a big X. Someone like Mitchell or Legette.

Yes, we agree. I apologize for misunderstanding.

If you put "not giving Allen weapons" in quotes, it implies sarcasm. I didn't read through the thread, so if that is not your intention, I misread your intent.

Cut the snark. The WR room needed upgrading before the Diggs trade. Be sore about it all you like, it's a definite priority now. The Bills have invested far less at the WR position than the competition in terms of early draft picks. Mahomes and KC have Andy Reid calling plays, and the freedom that comes from building on a foundation of championship success. You don't think that buys you some zebra love and Valentines from Roger Goodell, not to mention backstage passes to Taylor Swift concerts?

How are you going to pay for them? WR has to be through the draft.

Character is destiny. I didn't think it would happen, because I didn't think Beane would take on that massive cap hit. And I thought you bring in a WR2, hopefully, that can grow into WR1. That kind of plan is out the window. I think they need to do more. Diggs must have been a real piece of work to make this the best option.

I understand, and of course, they are professionals and have data we do not possess. Strangely enough, sometimes fans are right and the pros are wrong. So, I don't know what his board looks like, but I think they should be aiming at maybe 2 WRs early. I can't see another position that now clearly has priority. I live near Athens. I've been saying McConkey is special, and I'm sticking with it. Get an X like Mitchell or Legette, too. Personally, I'd be fine with any of them at #28, and I have a feeling at least some real NFL boards have them higher than what folks see on the simulators.

Yeah, no vote for you.
