So 4 pages in, I think it's safe to say... "Not many"
Our best examples have been 2nd rounders and a Supplemental Draft Pick (who had previously lit up the USFL with success).
Jerry Hughes still stands as the best example, imo.

I'd take it. Of course, now that it has been mocked means it 100% will not happen.

Look what they did to their OL Coach, Sean Kugler. Throwing him under the bus in order to protect Steve Kiem from sexual assault allegations because they looked alike.
This is standard MO for Bidwell and the Cardinals.

2nd rounder. So was Geno Smith.

There will be no blood letting in Sabreland, other than a bunch of assistant coaches. The Sabres are done changing coaches every two years. This is still a young team and it just takes longer to develop in the NHL. It sucks but that's how it is.

What did Matt Smith do?
Maybe he was in charge of putting our highlights together and they were like "no work left for you here buddy".

This is not good. Rashee Rice is about to be suspended indefinitely and his playing career may be over depending on how this plays out in court.
KC definitely going WR at 32. Need to snag one ahead of them at 28, and watch they dont jump us to get our guy (again)

You going to join us for 3.0?
Nah, thanks. I'm a big fan and probably owe some contribution at this point, but so far I'm better as an observer.

In hindsight, I feel bad for not approving it. That was the only trade attempt I denied for that reason. In previous years, people got out of hand with it and some picks got traded 4 times. I finally try to get ahead of that, and no one tried it.

jkjkjk, thanks for doing this every year. It's great for filling in this dead time between March Madness and the Draft.

I would be THRILLED if the only weapon KC adds from the first 2 rounds of the draft turns out to be Polk.

And now hes an offensive quality assistant.
Seems like a great, low-stress gig for a guy about to be 60 and already sitting on $30M in the bank who wants to still hang out with his buddies during the day. 🤷♂️

Oh yeah, I'm all for double dipping here. And a Franklin/Polk combo looks like it would be a great combo. Polk is a little bigger and more of an all around X/#1 WR, Franklin can be moved all over with his deep speed.
Fair enough, I dont mind double dipping at WR in this draft either. I'm just not sure I'd do it with our first 2 picks back to back, nor am I as sold on Polk. Looks to my (untrained) eye like another Gabe Davis clone. Who was decent for a 4th round pick, but not what I would be happy with from my 2nd round pick that was also a double-dip pick.

The Buffalo Bills select Javon Bullard, S, Georgia
The Jacksonville Jaguars @Doc Brown are on the clock
So in hindsight, with the trade down, Bills pass on an opportunity to draft from the pool of Worthy/Mitchell/McConky/Legette in order to land Franklin and a 3rd round pick.
IRL, the Bills could stay put at 28 and still draft Franklin.
IMO, my issue with the trade down is abdicating our position ahead of KC (and even Baltimore), for not a lot in return. I'd rather pick before them and know we are getting OUR guy over having to settle for whoever is left after the teams we are competing with get to stock their cupboards.
Just dont let KC jump us again!

Didn't marrone want whaley and Brandon out? Tried to leverage a decent Bills season and his contract clause... and lost.
I wouldnt say he lost. He was in a win-win situation and leveraged it as much as he could.
HC contracts are written with clauses that allow them to leave and still get paid IF there is a change in ownership.
Marrone knew of this clause and seized the opportunity to make a power play. "I'm going to walk and make you pay out my contract while having to find a new HC unless you put me in charge of the entire FO". Pegula said no thanks, Marrone walked while still getting paid. And then got another gig so he was DOUBLE DIPPING that NFL HC salary. Probably made himself an extra $10-15M just for quitting a job.

Exactly. Maybe Harbaugh has views on a bunch of big ten players that are different from the league consensus, for instance.
Right on. And he needs guys who will buy in or have already bought into his... "unique" style.

To play devils advocate why would teams want day 3 picks to move down if their aren’t draft able playersOh, its absolutely easier said than done. But teams might have different priorities. Maybe a new regime just came in and they want to bring in a bunch of "their" guys. Or may even need to make additional picks just to fill out the roster. Not necessarily because there is going to be so much talent left in those rounds.
edit: For example, the Giants only have something like 5 or 6 picks in this draft. They need guys.

is WR Polk available. I think that would be my pref, but barring that, one of the safeties. Some good options for that here.
Even after taking a WR (Franklin) roughly 15 picks earlier?

I’m not debating the number of draftable players, but the Covid rationale doesn’t make any sense. If players stayed extra years since 2020, that wouldn’t decrease the pool available in 2024.
I think a better explanation is that NIL now allows the best players to get paid 6-7 figures to stay in school.
It didnt deplete the 2024 pool, but it stocked the 2022/2023 pools which is why those drafts had 300+ draftable guys, and now we are back to more of the norm with 150-200 draftable guys.
It's about how the classes look relative to each other.

I feel like we figured this out in real time in @Virgil's mock draft threads.
The board voted for a Trade Down out of 28 and it was not fun.
I'm now fully on board with packaging as many of those later round picks for moving UP in the 1st and 2nd rounds to get our guys.

If anything, this exercise has only fueled my desire to do something big like trade up to 6 for Nabers.

Yeah. Maybe so.
It just seems like we'd suddenly be stacked three-deep at that "Poyer role" with Rapp, Edwards, and Bullard, and still in need of a long term free safety.
As you say, though, they still have plenty more picks to address that, and us fans probably make too much of the difference between the two safety spots in this defensive scheme anyway.This is why I'm going with Calen Bullock of Bullard.
Bullock is a long rangy 6'3" Safety who can hang in the backfield and ball hawk for us.

Yeah, to me, I don’t want depth with a 2nd round pick. Round 4 and beyond, sure.
I want starters in rounds 1-3
Exactly. We have plenty of spots that need guys to come in and start right away. Adding talented line depth (whether DT or OT) is nice, but we cant afford that right now.
