Low Positive

Polk off the board before Franklin? That's a surprise.

Disco was goovy. The bass lines were some of the best in music history.

Gabe with better hands would be really good. The drops were the biggest problem. And for those calling him Kelvin Benjamin, if we could get Benjamin before he decided that he liked eating more than football then that is a 1,000 yard guy.

I can't get past the fact that in all the highlights from FSU and MSU, he is never once shown running behind the defense. That that's in college, where guys get WIDE open all the time. He has good hands, but can he make those contested catches over Sauce Gardner and Jalen Ramsay?

I just realized I won't be happy with anyone they pick. I got sucked into the "trade up for Odunze" hype train and now everyone looks like a compromise. I hate predraft speculation because it creates unrealistic expectations.

For some reason, the Bills want the league to think they are drafting Coleman at 33.

I'm not sure Greg Cosell likes any players.

This thread should be a lot of fun. What's the o/u on the number of posts until someone makes a comment on kids getting participation trophies? What about "pretty soon, it'll be flag football?" How about "they might as well be playing in pantyhose?"

Shhhh Maybe they won't notice.

And college ones too. Have you ever listened to the Paul Finebaum show?

what he figured out is that Carolina was not going to take who the Bills wanted, so why not pick up a free 4th rounder?

Watch this three times and call me in the morning

He was sick, or so he (and his agent) says.

5th year options are usually meaningless. If the player is good enough to warrant it, teams usually will extend them before that. If they are not, they just decline it. The only time that it comes into play is when guys are on the line of being good enough, like Tua.

Sound like someone we know and used to love?

And then I couldn't sleep after and had to take a sleeping pill and I overslept my alarm clock. I had to take a sick day. Thanks Beane!

That's the concern, together with the poor combine performance.

Don't. I like close season better. When they are actually playing, is it called "open season?"

You could put a prime Ronnie Lott on the Bills and he would make less difference than a solid #2 WR. Remember, we not only lost Diggs. We also lost Gabe Davis. Beane created a huge hole and now he has to fill it.

I hear you. I really do. I understand not drafting for need and picking the BPA. But what we have right now is not an NFL WR corp. They are all WR #3s at best. This is why I hated the idea of trading Diggs and replacing him in the draft because you never know how a draft board will fall and even if you get your guy there are no guarantees that you hit. The Bills simply cannot go into the year with those as our WRs. They just can't.

Every time I read posts by you I have to remember that "close season" is British for "off-season." But yeah, I agree with your post. They didn;t play this. But the inaction by Beane on this front displays a lack of urgency. I know that you can't draft for need, but at this point Josh is practically throwing the ball to himself, and this is after Beane talked about needed "explosive plays."

Aiyuk is asking for a trade because he wants a massive extension. How can the Niners eat part of a contract he doesn't have yet?

I actually think that the Panthers did this because they needed to foster some goodwill with their downtrodden fan base and wanted to give them something to talk about on night one of the draft. Because it is obvious that they could have had Leggett at 33. I also think that the Chiefs could have stayed at 32 and taken Worthy. In both cases Beane got something for nothing. But I still hate what he did in the context of the Diggs trade. If we still had Stef, it would be OK to trade down and take a DB with 33 and get a complementary WR later in round two. But we have a gaping hole at one of the 2-3 positions that actually win football games (QB, pass catchers, pass rush) but it seems like Beane is acting like a grandpa and shaking his cane and yelling "defense wins championships!!!!!!"

They could have, but they perhaps thought that SF would have taken him. That's the only explanation.

The Bills must of really thought low about Worthy to make that move.
