Rumor: Bills trying aggressively to move up for a WR in round one

Trust me, I was saying all offseason that the time is now to trade Diggs. I got killed for it.

 

Trading Dawkins right after signing him is like 100% less likely to happen. 

Yeah, seemed like we were a year too late on Diggs. That extension was up there with Miller's contract.

The signing makes Dawkins worth more. Locked up in his prime.

IDK if I got the bonus/cap hit right, though.

 It wouldn’t make any sense. I would think about it if a team in the top 8 said we’ll give you our pick for Dawkins and 28. I just don’t see it happening.

My enduring mental pic of Dawkins will be (after telling the world Buffalo could not lose at home) of stepping on Josh and killing a Shakir TD.

I doubt I'm the only one who noticed.

Did you notice the otherwise amazing game he played on the 60+ other snaps? If you didn’t, the game is a available on youtube and you’ll see. He had a great season last year and dumping a left tackle in his prime is about the dumbest thing a team can do.

 

Also, on that one play, he was facing the 2023 version of aaron donald (chris jones), and it’s not as if he got destroyed. He was up against the best d-lineman in the league on a money play, and it is what it is.

Pretty much sums up why the Bills can’t beat the Chiefs. They always have someone better than our best.

Our best is josh allen, and he left the field with under 2 minutes to go and his kicker in position to make a kick that is usually made that would equal Mahomes’s output. He had no control over the fact that our kicker — who is stilll weirdly on the team after going 2 for 5 in the postseason — had the yips.

I don’t get it but if he falls, I’ll take it

 

He isn't getting past 10.  The Jets will run to the podium if he's there.  As much as I want him to be a Bill, I really don't want him on the Jets just as much.

Daniel Jeremiah has us taking Thomas at 28

There are zero trades in Jeremiah’s draft, which is ridiculous and an indicator to me that a person doesn’t have the courage of his own convictions. It is a day before the draft — project trades, which ALWAYS happen.

I rarely post, but feel I owe the community an outlandish projection. And I have earned the right.

- KNEW that Allen was the Josh before the pick when 90% of this board had Rosen.

- Picked Oliver as the target.

- Sorta knew Kinnkaid was the man.

- Strongly believed Diggs would be traded even though everyone claimed the cap was a no-go.

- IDK, I may be in Beane's head ... that's why I need to type this. With that out of the way:

 

Setting the stage:

- Most teams now regard Malik Nabers as the #1 WR

- MHJ dropped a bit due to non-combine participation.

- Rome is showing up on more mocks out of the top 10.

- AZ is going to cash in on a trade-down.

- And if AZ doesn't, the Chargers will.

- LAC could go WR, but almost everyone expects Joe Alt.

- The Giants likely shut out of QB convo, will go WR

- TN is all about an OT. Maybe like LAC.

- Bills signed L Collins.

- Diggs was not the only player feeling their oats on Twitter. D Dawkins was there too with his predictions. And post-season, with the googly eyes hoping he would get his extension. 3x20m.

- LAC wants to move down, and TN needs OT too.

 

The Terms:

- If the Bills believe they have a replacement on the roster for Dawkins, he will be used as trade bait for LAC/TN.

- Bills could then make that trade without exhausting this and next year's draft capital.

- 28, 60, 2025 2nd for 1.5/7 + 4th.

 

Projection:

- 1-4 QB

- LAC - Joe Alt

- NYG select - Nabers, a diva in waiting. He will make Diggs and his passive-aggressive antics look like a straight-shooting choirboy.

- Bills via TN - MHJ.

 

I may be overestimating Dawkins' return. And of course, misreading the tea leaves. But that is my Mighty Kreskin moment for the 2024 NFL Draft.

 

 


The combine has little to no affect and where someone is drafted. It’s a TV show.

Colleges have pro days and teams have private workouts.

 

Bills are not trading Dawkins, they have no comparable replacement and Allen may walk if that happens.

Trade up for Brock Bowers and we’re in business. 2.5 elite tight ends. Make it happen.


That’s what I’m talking about. Kincaid, Knox, Bowers, Quintin Morris, and Lee Smith lined up wide for a Hail Mary in the 4th.

That play sucked no doubt. But it’s a guy getting beat by one of the best players in the league. And it is one critical mistake In a game’s worth of dumb and preposterous mistakes and lack of execution and missed opportunities. It’s easy to hate on Dion, but that isn’t why they lost. 


I will not hesitate to hand out kudos if you are indeed correct! 

Your generosity has been noticed here . Well done

 Dawkins is Josh's best friend on the field. he has proven it.

aint goin no wheres

 

If I am wrong I will own it

 Go Bills
