This is a weird priority list IMO. I mean...DE, OT, and RB are all pretty widely seen as the higher priorities now, maybe a WR to groom can squeak its way in for the 2nd round consideration too.

I didnt love him two years ago. I thought he was a fool ever since the Mitch trade. Paid a lot to make a move he didnt need to make. SF was never taking Mitch, everyone knew that. And if someone else overpaid to get Mitch by trading with SF, so be it...you keep those 3 picks and take Watson at 3, who some had as the best QB anyway in that draft. Mahomes was not considered for the top 5, so wont count him as an option for Bears at 3 even though he's the best one obviously. Many Bears fans I knew were pretty upset with him too about that trade. The Mack trade was insane too. Raiders fleeced them, hated it from the moment they did it. You don't make that kind of trade when your QB had not looked good up to that point. You might need those assets to try again at QB. Mack has done nothing for them, all that money, all those picks...but unless your team is ready for the next step, he isn't going to change the fortunes of the team. I have not been a fan of most of his big moves at all. Thought he did a decent job getting some weapons at WR, not great, but an upgrade. But even dumping a young RB that had been good for them and gave them a potent run game in Howard was not wise. Replaced him with a lesser version of him too in Montgomery. Beane on the other hand has done a sensational job at both managing our cap situation for now and looking forward while also building and stacking talent. Beane is light years better than Pace IMO and I would love to see us lock Beane up long term soon to insure he stays. Although, I am not that worried of him leaving to be honest, he does seem to genuinely love being here in Buffalo and we seem like a perfect fit for him and also seems to gel great with McD. So I wouldn't imagine he would think about leaving for a bigger offer before he finished what he started here anyway.

Yuck. I wanted Quinn...but no thanks on that contract. Bears are just puzzling some times

Seriously???? Make. It. Stop. Why are people obsessed about a WR on another team that was NOT made available to the Bills? Let it f-ing go and rejoice we got our own stud.

Duke is our #4 right now, and honestly if that’s how the season opened I’d be good with that. He’s got a skill set that still fits. But I also wont be surprised if we draft a WR with size in round 3 or 4 to compete. And that is more a testament to the depth of talent at WR where I can see how a WR will be BPA while on clock. Brown has only 2 years on his deal, so adding a young developmental WR now makes sense to have a guy who can potentially step up if we need him to in 2 years.

Seriously.

Yeah, which is why I actually think they are such good signings. He’s a master of getting that kind of value to get him to the next the player upgrade. Find solid value at the very least and not over paying for it using team friendly deals is what makes him so strong.

For real, people are crazy if they think they are the same player. Watching a highlight tape of him will quickly show Diggs is elite route runner and plays quite big and is open even when not open. He leads NFL since 2017 in contested catches for a reason. Beane had himself one hell of a day 1.

CAN WE LOCK BEANE UP WITH A NEW 5 YEAR CONTRACT ASAP PLEASE!?!?! He is the man. Period.

what tweet? Noting in twitter i can see about Kittle at all.

Ha i know now, I’m also high and a bit buzzed on wine

Man Beane is a rockstar! Can we extend Beane now please.

Hence why we traded for a stud instead

Diggs is already a better WR than Cooper and costs almost half OMG I am loving this more by the minute!!!

We also had more draft picks than open roster spots. Beane was never keeping all those picks. He was gonna trade then to move around draft for other unknown commodities. Instead he wisely used them on a proven stud on a great contract.

Except he’s wrong. So there’s that. Hopkins was NOT traded for a 4th.

Now go get Pittman or Claypool in the 3rd and we are f-Ing set!!!!

This lol

Well I think that includes both Beane and McD wouldn't you say? ?

Gross. Makes Spain deal look like deal of the century. Would anyone want Flowers over Spain at twice the cost?

Still early though, and honestly Beane kept saying we wont be spending in the "deep end of the pool" this year. So I think he's going to maybe pursue one big guy possibly at DE at best. If not, probably look for valuable mid tier guys mostly and look ahead to the draft. He said he wants to keep cap in a good spot to keep home grown talent over next few years.

And paid too much IMO. Makes Spain look like the deal of the century in comparison IMO.

All good points. My personal opinion is that I am not sold Brady goes to TB. So I think Bucs may look to stay pat and force themselves to take one of the left over QB's if they dont get Brady. Now if Brady goes there (again, believe it when I see it), might be intriguing spot for a trade up for sure. Like you, I am skeptical the cost to get to 13 will be something Beane will pay, and agree Lynch is a good GM who has extracted a lot of value in his trades which could make that slot even more expensive. And in a rich WR draft, I have high doubts Beane makes a real expensive trade up.

Good point actually

And thats what I assume would happen, but the trades or quality or Pro Bowl players to teams we are trying to catch or stay ahead of I could have done without HA. I actually hate the Hurst trade giving Baltimore a 2nd round pick back too for them to potentially use to land another offensive weapon at WR.
