That’s it, I don’t want his autograph anymore.

I wonder how much GMs tell each other on draft day. For example, prior to a trade, do they tell the partnering team who they will be selecting? If so, it makes sense that we traded with the Chiefs. This is further supported by Beane saying the Chiefs would’ve picked Worthy anyways. If we knew they were going to pick a player we weren’t interested in, it makes sense to trade the pick to them.

I personally like the makeup of this offense. If you want to go watch fast Smurfs, you can watch Miami. Not only do we have a QB that will run over a linebacker, we now have WR/TEs and RBs to run through them. This offense will wear defenses into the ground. And once that happens, Josh can throw some daggers, ones only he can throw, to put them out of their misery.

Here’s a great one: has the Bills FO done enough to address WR this offseason?

We’re paying $28M in fake salary cap money this year. This will be gone next year. At that time and when the cap inevitably goes up, we will be able to easily afford to pay said top 5 salary cap money. So, I think this comment has about a 12 month shelf-life.

I don’t blame Mahomes for our defense playing soft. Not his fault, our fault.

I get the minority hiring comp picks or if a team truly wants a player back, but it seems weird that if a team actively lets a player go, why should they get a comp pick. Edmunds for example, it really doesn’t seem like we had any intention of re-signing him. Then we have a SB team getting the most comp picks, so we can’t say they are given out for parity.

If there’s this many comp picks being given and to this many teams, they should just get rid of them. Seems like it would be a wash.

Jason Peters -2.0?

Exhibit 2 that Beane does not draft BPA in Rd 1 or 2, but rather by need. In case you forget this, you can come back and read it.

Hope we trade down and get an extra 7th.

The deepest WR draft if recent history and here we stand.

No. You waited 2 days.

Look at it this way guys. We did a trade with the Chiefs and sent them Worthy. In return, we got this guy and moved up in the 6th round. Does this make you happy?

Has a defenseman been chosen yet? I’m starting to think BPA may be on defense. The WR position will remain deep.

It was the right move. Did anyone think Cousins was going to get them anything but a string of 9 win seasons? This gives them a QB to groom before Cousins flames out. QB purgatory is real. This was probably there best chance of getting a top 10 pick for awhile.

Kevyn, is that you?

Eli Manning?

Exactly. I don’t want to stay up all night waiting for 28. I got work tomorrow.

Pretty much. We have a 44-page thread about the Bills rumored to be trying to move up in the first to pick a WR. Anyone, their sister or their cat knows this to be a fact, but somehow it garners so much discussion.

In hindsight, we all know what we are doing.

The first sentence is saying you should not draft based on need, but you should get that in a FA. Then are you saying that you really didn’t “need” that player that has been providing their service for the last 4 years? It’s the first sentence that is the horrible take. You obviously need to draft based on need. Beane does it with his 1st/2nd round picks each year. Is he wrong?

Horrible take. If you need to wait 4+ years to get quality contribution from your draft choices, your drafting must suck. This isn’t the NHL or baseball. In the salary cap era, draft picks needs to contribute by their 2nd year, if not their rookie season.

What I would like to see is how many of those players ended up having worse draft grades by staying in school an extra year. There’s a lot of money lost if they would’ve went in the 1st, but ended up being drafted in the 2nd. The idiom is penny wise, but pound foolish. That said, at least they got their diploma.

There’s no way Beane trades back. That’s not his MO. What will happen is he’ll trade up a few spots and say that the guy taken was the only guy left with a 1st round grade by them.
