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.

Yeah, I'm disagreeing with the notion that you'd have to reach. You can disagree on this, too. If he passes on WR at #28, it better be because he is trading back into the early second to take a WR. Legette, Mitchell, McConkey, those three at least ought to be targets. I'd try and grab one of the first two and McConkey.

I don't, and if he means that, it is irresponsible. WR, maybe in the first two rounds. And there will be WRs worth #28 on the board.

I think it is unlikely as well. Something like McConkey and Legette is more achievable. I've been high on both of them, so I'd be happy to see that happen.

Well, I'd be good with a trade up for one of the top 3, and a somewhat less expensive trade up for Thomas, but if they go the combo route, this is the one I like.

You were right about the Diggs' rumors. It must have been bad, because short-term, it's a problem for the WR room. The return was obviously the best they could do. Now, clearly, 2 early WR picks is more plausible.

I think it needs to be #28 and a trade up from #60. Get me Legette and McConkey.

He sure is fun to watch.

I've really focused on the day 1 to mid second round fellas. I would not want to invest a second in Walker or Burton, but maybe that is what you'd have to do to get them. Supposedly Burton is a very loose cannon. Polk, Pearsall and Roman Wilson I like in the second, but I want one of the WRs you and I agree on. Javon Baker is another fella I like a bit later. Cornelius Johnson is my late round flier guy.

I'm guessing D.J. Burns is intended.

If they are trading the 2025 1st to move up, I hope they go big and trade up into the top 10 to grab a top 3 WR if someone falls. (It would cost more than #28 and next year's first to do so, I know.) But I would take Thomas as a solid choice, though that would be a high price to pay. Not sure I would. Coleman I just don't like, even at the top of the second, so I'll have to hope I am wrong if he is the pick. I like Mitchell, Legette, and McConkey there. Anyway, going to be a long three-and-a-half weeks while we endlessly rehash the scenarios.

Coleman may be the most polarizing WR in the draft, followed by Franklin. I don't trust either of them, but some of the folks who like them are certainly bright. Looks like the experts are all over the map on the next tiers, though it seems BTJ is nearly always in the top 5. Maybe Beane will have a plan to go get him. If not, I think you stick at #28, and decide based on what's on the board and what trade back deals are available.

Understood. I like an entirely different set of players. Thomas, Mitchell, or Legette as a big X. McConkey if they go outside that box. I don't think Gabe and Shakir is where they ought to be aiming, though Shakir is a nice player, and Gabe, while inconsistent, obviously had his moments. I'll be surprised if Davis flourishes enough to justify the payday he got in free agency.

Maybe you're right, but I'd be unhappy if he is the main selection at WR. If he's a second option, that's fine, but it appears unlikely, given the lack of a third round pick. Beane can move around a bit. I expect he will try and get back into the third, but some of those early picks are going to DL and probably S, though I wouldn't rule out OL, or even, given past proclivities, RB.

Traded back multiple times. Posting this one as an example of how I think the edge position ought to be addressed in this particular draft. 39. Ladd McConkeyWR Georgia 69. Cole BishopS Utah 80. Braden FiskeDT Florida State 97. Devontez WalkerWR North Carolina 128. Mason McCormickOC South Dakota State 133. Javon SolomonEDGE Troy 142. Jordan JeffersonDT LSU 144.

Xavier ThomasEDGE Clemson 200. Dylan McMahonOG NC State

I dunno. I don't always read in the context of a thread, so if it is dependent on that sort of interaction, maybe it is. I still say, btw, that trying to get an X like Thomas, Mitchell, or Legette is worth the risk, though I have also consistently said I love McConkey. I agree with the fella who says McConkey and Kincaid would be a natural and excellent pairing.

Fortunately, you can find very good players at those positions in the third round and on day 3.

Well, let's hope so.

I don't know what you paid to get #14, but I suspect it was too much. And you held onto #28? Something illegal is involved. I traded back from #60 in order to acquire two day 2 picks. This is perhaps more realistic. 28. Adonai MitchellWR Texas 80. Javon BullardS Georgia 97. Braelon AllenRB Wisconsin 128. Tanor BortoliniOC Wisconsin 133. Jordan JeffersonDT LSU 144.
