Dr. Who

I understand. I think you are underrating where Quinn is now and he is going to get better. I think he is already considered core by KA and the coaching staff. Peterka is not there yet. I just believe he is likely to get there. Jost is a try hard bottom six who is probably right now your 13th forward. He may or may not be back. I like Krebs. He needs to get stronger and continue to develop. I think he can be a pesky bottom six player. I don't see his ceiling as core, however. I like him as 4C that could grow into a 3C. VO is the most probable piece to be moved in a package for a top 4D. There are a lot of pretty good UFA D this year as well. Wouldn't shock me to see either the 2023 1st or 2024 1st included in a trade to get immediate help. It's a crucial offseason -- and the sheer number of promising forwards in the system means they will have to evaluate quicker. Otherwise, teams will lowball KA in trades knowing he can't find a spot for everyone. My guess is they keep Girgs and Okposo retires, but it's not impossible that both are back. I'd like to see Rousek get a shot and that won't happen if they bring both back. I am guessing Savoie makes the team and Kulich is an early call up from Rochester.

If the rumors that Beane is looking to trade up have any merit, I think it would be for an offensive playmaker. I think it should be Kincaid, but I surmise he might go up for Addison or even Johnston if they want to gamble on a boom or bust pick. If they stay where they are and everything plays out as speculated, I would rather take Mayer but I concur with the probability that they take Mazi Smith. (Not my favorite, but if they are going D, he's not a bad choice.)

Plausible rationale offered throughout. I don't think any of the explanations come across as strained. If the draft plays out this way, I would be pretty unhappy if the Bills didn't find a way to trade up for either Addison or Kincaid, the latter being my preference as I think he has the potential to be a dangerous weapon. Hyatt is really a second rounder which is often the case late first round. Do better Beane.

Siaki Ika.

I'm sure you'll do a good job.

You're going to blame the young woman who has known him since they were kids and if all this is true was the one who was cheated on? And wanting fidelity in a relationship makes her a gold digging wench? Your moral compass is in bad shape, fella.

I do like Rice and Mingo as third round picks if that's the way it plays out. I'd take a shot with Bryce Ford-Wheaton as a later round developmental project with good size. I wanted to trade up for Jameson Williams last year, because you could see this was going to be a down year at the position then.

I sure as hell prefer that result than taking a LB at 27.

I think the folks you are calling strong 2nd to mid rounders only look that way compared to the weak top of the draft. It's not a good year to draft wr. I think your OP is just way off. I would take Hyatt, Downs, or Flowers in the second. Hyatt might be there at 59.

He can do something subtle like post a pic of him eating wings on Instagram.

Dunno, we always seem to be on the wrong end of bad calls. I was living in Dallas when Brett Hull stole a Stanley Cup. Getting kind of sick of it.

I doubt it. I would trade up. It's going to be funny when he trades up for Mazi Smith.

The whole story makes me sad, but I am old fashioned.

I understand. I have a feeling Beane is going to make a move up if an offensive playmaker gets in range, but that may be delusion. The other part of me thinks he's going to stick with D. I strongly disagree with you Campbellites, but I don't like to argue religious differences in a football forum so I'll leave it at that. One of the posters I find insightful @MrEpsYtown doesn't think Wright pushes Brown year one and is not a prudent pick at 27. @BADOLBILZ argues that OL normally take years to develop. I like Paris Johnson or even Broderick Jones in the first, but they won't be there.

I think you definitely need to add Quinn to that list and Peterka is likely to get there, imo.

I really think this should be the play. If I am Beane, I would trade up a bit to make sure I get him.

And that's what many folks are actually hoping for. I like Trenton Simpson and Drew Sanders better and would not take a LB at 27.

If you think Kincaid is a young Kelce, you better take him in the 1st. If they pass on him, I am for going a different direction at the position and trading up from 59 to get Darnell Washington. Along with Matthew Bergeron, they are my three favorites in this draft.

I'm not as high on him as you, but a lot of folks like him. I'd consider him at 27, but I don't see him as a fella I would trade up for. I've got a Dalton Kincaid fixation, so if it's between him and Flowers, I'm going with Kincaid, even though folks are skeptical that Dorsey would be willing and able to employ 12 personnel as a base formation.

Again, it's one of the worst drafts at WR in recent memory. There are some folks you could consider later, but it doesn't negate the lack of quality at the position. I would actually consider trading up for JSN before I took a LB at 27.

I am an UGA fan. Live near Athens. Washington is already a very good blocker. I don't see Gronk like athleticism as a receiver. He had to make the one-handed catch because he's not a fluid mover. Brock Bowers is the pass catching athletic freak on the Dawgs. Washington is a legit RZ threat, though, and I'd love for the Bills to grab him.

Who do you think is likely to be there at 27 that would move the needle?

They probably won't let you on stage.

You have to prioritize the items in that menu. Smith or Campbell, for instance. Hard to see how you could get both. I'd personally prefer trying to solidify oline and add weapons at WR and TE2. Darnell Wright, Darnell Washington, Rashee Rice would not be a bad plan in my book, though you'd have to trade up from 59 to secure Washington.

I think Hyatt is worth a shot at 59. I'd look at Mingo, Rice, maybe Tillman in the third. Or take Kincaid at 27 and employ 12 personnel which gives the offense matchup advantages and adds uncertainty to the defense.
