That’s logical. Obviously things can change substantially over the next four years, but I see your point. The more global concern is, of course, that using a high pick for a safety rather than a WR is a poor use of resources. Your numbers illustrate the relatively massive amount of money saved on a quality WR vs safety playing on rookie deals.

5th year options are calculated for each position using salaries at that position.

Very possibly. But over Newton? You know how he loves DL. But then again I guess we could use someone to cover Worthy now.

There’s almost no way that this works out positively. Every TD pass thrown from the NFL’s best QB (who the Bills handed to KC) to the WR that holds the combine 40 record (who the Bills handed to KC) will be an emotional trauma. It will repeatedly churn up that Mahomes trade. After a big trade up for one of the top 3 WRs I honestly thought that our next best option was a trade back to acquire another meaningful pick in this year’s draft. But that couldn’t be with KC. This is devastating.

Logical, but emotionally devastating maneuvering.

He’s gonna be so broke when he’s done playing football.

The Bills do not have anywhere close to the cap room to trade for a WR unless he’s on his rookie deal.

Dallas foolishly was going to cut him for cap space. The Browns pounced. And they only gave up a fifth and swap of sixths.

Then I stand corrected. I had no idea. thanks

The Bills made their choices. It didn’t have to be that way. Also the position they are in has nothing to do with optimal off-season strategy.

He is saying that IMMEDIATE needs should be addressed in FA so that teams can focus on drafting the best players for the long term.

on your phone or home computer?

Not LEGALLY in the US as far as I’m aware.

Just wait. Sports betting isn’t the endgame. The companies are losing money on it so far. Their goal is to get table games and slots on your phones so everyone can gamble 24-7. That’ll be their moneymaker if it happens.

It surprises me too, but I have to think that vegas is dialed in to information too. GMs do give info away sometimes, but they almost always try to keep secret their final decisions.

Not coincidentally, among the players that could reasonably make it to 10 Odunze is the player that would have the highest trade value. Basically they’re telling the NFL to come get him if he makes it to 10. For the Bills it means they have to get to 9 if they want him - if he makes it there.

That isn’t what he is saying. He’s saying that you draft players for what they can provide over at least the next four years, not just in season one. Basically draft for the long term, not short term. That’s what smart teams do.

I don’t suffer fools gladly. And if I’m being honest, that’s been a bit of a hindrance in my life. But still……a RB because his dad played for the team and an off the ball LB. Both top 5.

That movie is dumb as F. All that unrealistic BS that everyone who seriously follows the draft knows is ridiculous. And the cherry on top is the GM does it all for a RB and an off the ball LB. SMDH.

This is the evidence I keep coming back to. Some people here are banging the “you don’t need an elite WR” drum pretty hard, but NFL teams are paying them large and that tells the opposite story.

I’d feel a lot better about that statement if it wasn’t the same thing that what was said about Shaq Lawson.

Basically still a rookie!

That’s exactly the issue. It’s gonna hurt, but I am still expecting it to happen.

The Bears have picks #1 and #9 overall in this year’s draft. They are taking Caleb Williams with 1 to replace Fields, whom they traded to Pittsburgh. Them trading 9 to acquire more picks is a possibility.
