[Coach Tuesday]

The need is urgent.

too much.  How about a 4th for Thomas, and go from there.

“Go front there” will include significant more assets from the Bills.

Well that's my point. Teams would need to give a 1st to make them willing to trade him. You can't expect them to give up a 1,200 yard rookie WR for anything less than that... regardless of how he has looked this year.

 

I'd do it.  Our first picks have basically almost been like 2nd round picks anyway given where we pick year after year and given the lack of success with ours in recent years, I don't see it as giving up a ton when it addresses a clear and present need for this team.

I know plenty of scouts still in the league and people around the NFL and nobody is saying it's going to take a first if they were going to trade him

 

One thing if he was progressing from last year yes that would take a first 

 

He has significantly regressed across the board.. he does not have a first round pick value right now.. his advanced metrics and his drops will not take a first round pick 

 

Just watch if they even trade him but they're prolly not because they probably want more than what they would get

 

He's got great talent but there's obviously something going on in his head right now.. you can't trade a first round pick in the NFL for someone who's dealing with issues 

If he was progressing this year, trading him would not even be an issue.

Two seconds, Keon and AJ is a lot of assets. 

 

Don't get me wrong I want BTJ. But I'm worried that his stats all come from Mac Jones, who is like the anti Josh Allen in play style.

 

It is a lot. But it's going to take a lot to get him on Year 2 of a potential 5 year Rookie deal.

People have goggles on a talented wide receiver who has his head in the gutter right now... The leader in drops with metrics at the bottom of the NFL is not going for a first round pick 

 

No matter if he's 6'2 and runs a 4.39.. 

 

The biggest red flag is if the jaguars would trade that guy with 2.5 years left on his rookie deal

 

It's going to take a 1st or multiple 2nd's. You don't ignore a Pro Bowl, All Rookie Team 1st year completely for some metrics in the first third of their second year.

 

As for them willing to trade him after Year 1, you have to keep in mind the RIDICULOUS move they made for Travis Hunter in April. Part of that deal may have been them knowing they'll recoup some of those assets by trading BTJ. With them Drafted one year apart, they'll eventually have to lose one or pay them both within a year of each other. I don't think it's crazy to assume that they saw Travis Hunter as Generational and made the move for him knowing part of that would be moving on from BTJ.

 

Especially since their GM wasn't the one to Draft BTJ and was the one to go all in on Hunter.

If Beane is willing to part with a 1st, would you rather have BTJ or Olave?

 

Olave isn't an option. Every day they proclaim he won't be traded. I'd say that could be posturing. But what seals the deal for me is that they've been talking extension and Olave is interested. My take was always that it would only happen if Olave was rebuffing their overtures. With it being reported that's not happening, he's not going anywhere. It's Shaheed or nothing from New Orleans.

We haven't traded away a 1st round pick since 2020, and that trade ended up one of the best additions in franchise history. It feels like it is the right time to make that sort of blockbuster trade.

 

Next year's draft supposedly is strong in LBs, safeties, and IOL. We don't need 1st round talents at those positions. We need a legit WR to complete our offense. Any use of a 1st round pick is a risk. I'll take the player that put up 1,200 yards in year one over any random rookie.

 

 

My concern is that our wins come against teams with a combined 8-28 record. The injuries are mounting on a Defense, that while looking great today, is incredibly suspect.

 

We've struggled against teams we absolutely shouldn't be struggling against and lost to teams we absolutely shouldn't have lost to. The Patriots are essentially 1.5 games up on us in the Division right now (with the victory over us) and absolutely rolling. The Division may be out and there's no guarantee we get a Wild Card.

 

I don't think we're one WR away from being a Contender. We could very easily be giving up our best pick since 2019.

 

I'm not against doing it. But I would avoid giving up that 1st in 2026, if at all possible.

If a little sophomore slump has actually made this guy available on a first contract, it’s time to push all of the chips to the center of the table.

i put about zero credibility that the Jags trade Thomas.

If he was progressing trading probably wouldn’t be possible.

Good, but this lost them a game in Cincinnati

Well said.

I'm going to tell myself that this is them trying to drive up the price.

Yea I think teams will ‘listen to calls’ about pretty much anyone…I take the whole ‘listening to calls’ thing with a grain of salt

 

idk how common it is trading a first round pick on a rookie deal id imagine it’s super rare.  He’d have to be borderline refusing to play for them to even consider it unless they got offered a hilariously one sided deal

To young and healthy for Brandon Beane 

Didn't I hear before he was drafted that he is a type 1 diabetic?  At this point, I think it is managed well, but I wonder if it could be an issue for him.  The bigger issue is what it might take to land him.  My guess is at least a second round pick.

I thought that was AD Mitchell

When's the last time you heard a funky diabetic?

I watched that play live and I think he would've been short anyhow. This is how I truly felt before all of this. He knew he had to turn up super quickly to have a chance, and did the classic turn up field before securing the catch.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

16% drop rate...

49% catch rate...

I did some digging and could find nothing to link Thomas with diabetes.  You are right about Mitchell.

This is what they have to say once word is leaked. At least until he's on a new team. I would trade them a 1st, anyone of our Wrs, except Shakir and a day 3 pick.

I'd offer the Jags Coleman and a 1st for Brian Thomas Jr
