The Worthy Trade Keeps Looking Worse and Worse

[Alphadawg7]

Ive never seen a board so in love and obsessed with such a mediocre player.  Its ok to want more speed here, but that doesn't make Worthy the guy either. 

 

The miss in that draft was no where close to Worthy.  If the Bills could go back to their original pick and instead of trading the pick away made their selection, there is 0% it would be Worthy, literally 0%.  There are better players that were available there than what Worthy is, including at WR, but also several other positions.  

 

The real "miss" was not trying to trade for BTJ (The big 3 were not realistic and there were no trade partners, this has been confirmed as none of the teams up that high wanted to come down as far as Buffalo was).  Now its possible Beane tried, none of us were in the war room - but based on everything we heard and what Beane said before and after the draft, etc, its a pretty reasonable assumption that we did not try to move up at all.  But, I really felt his combination of size and speed was rare and that to pair that with Josh was both something I thought we would try and get (and should try and get) if he got to a reasonable trade up range.  

 

At the same time, I get Beane (and really everyone) expected the team to be in a mini-retool last year with the turnover on both sides of the ball.  So I get why moving up was less appealing in a season we were already down a 3rd even though I still would have entered the draft with the notion that if BTJ got close enough we would at least try and get him.  And that opinion is not after his rookie season, I went into that draft both wanting that and believing that we would do that too given the needs at WR.

At this point, I'm more upset we didn't draft Cooper DeJean over Coleman.  I was on the WR train with everyone else in that draft, but DeJean really called to me and I wish we had drafted him.

As if there was no chance he would’ve been there when they drafted….

 
 

I never said we were their only chance to trade up or that Worthy wouldn’t have been there when the Chiefs picked.  Either way, given the Chiefs are the team we’ve been trying to get past in the AFC, we shouldn’t have been the ones to help them.  It doesn’t make any sense to help your nemesis.

What these obsessives can’t comprehend is that had we picked Worthy and the Chiefs Coleman, Keon would be studding it up and they’d hate the Worthy pick. It’s all about how good Reid is and mediocre our OCs are by comparison.

Could be. We certainly don't seem to be able to scheme our guys open very often!
