Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BuffaloBillyG replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not the guy I wanted. Was hoping for some real speed. Ah well, let's see how the rest of the night plays out. Roman Wilson to match up with him, perhaps? Polk? I'll wait to see how tonight plays out. -
Who do you want with our first pick in 2nd?
BuffaloBillyG replied to Back2Buff's topic in The Stadium Wall
By the end of the night I think we come away with 2 of: Franklin, Wilson and Polk. And for the 3rd pick tonight I think we get a safety. What order we get them in and where is the question for me. -

BuffaloBillyG replied to Back2Buff's topic in The Stadium Wall
Honestly, I'm kind of of the thought that I'm ok with Beane even taking 2025 picks then later round 2024 picks if he trades again. We have a ton of ammo now to move around. Let's set the table for next year, too. -
Bills interested in Deebo Samuel per Mike Giardi
BuffaloBillyG replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's a benefit/perk to being a good team. Agents use your team as someone interested hoping other GMs say "Wait if Buffalo is in, should we be as well?". We do the exact same thing whenever we hear the Chiefs name in on someone. "Well, if Andy thinks that LG is good then that's good enough for me." -
NFL gives players the option to wear guardian shells during games.
BuffaloBillyG replied to Beast's topic in The Stadium Wall
Welp, you would just have become the first to bring up all those topics for people to piggy back off of. Way to set the table😂 Seriously, I get it and it's really good for the players and safety. Could help some guys have longer careers, earn more money and walk away a bit healthier. But egads are those things fugly. -
I agree with a lot of what you say here. However, about the bolded. If they have a guy that stands out and is "their guy" then yes, agree, don't get cute and pick your player However do they have a group of guys lumped together? Are they looking at it as "Well, we can Grab DeJean, Newton, Franklin, Roman Wilson, Ladd, or a few others that are all about the same grade and be happy"? If so, another small trade back makes the world of sense. We'll know which they have in a few hours.

Bills interested in Deebo Samuel per Mike Giardi
BuffaloBillyG replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is true. However if the Bills have had contact with the 49ers either they or Deebo's reps may put it out there to stir interest. And being it mentions 2 teams it's likely agent or the 49ers. That said, even in cases like this, the "interest" could be something as simple as the Bills having a casual call with someone on the 49ers staff and asking what they are looking for....which is very common. -
Agree that may well be what we do. The fact of Cooper DeJean still being there is a real threat to that plan, however IMO. I don't know if I see Beane punting on WRs in round 1 to take 2 in round 2. Could just as easily see him going: DeJean -> Franklin/Wilson -> mid level FA vet (A DJ Chark level) in the next few days.
-
I agree with that...unless they have Franklin and Wilson or possibly McConkey grades close enough that it doesn't matter to them which they get. Then I can see another small drop back maybe to Washington's spot. And that's if they pick a WR early tonight at all. As long as DeJean is there when the Bills pick it's a worry.

Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Round 1 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)
BuffaloBillyG replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Never know. Pearsall may have been the "panic pick" people like to say happens. I'm wondering if they were targeting Worthy and that's why KC felt they had to jump up to get him. -
Agree on Worthy. However it's amazing how the laundry one wears can change my perception on a player. Had the Bills picked him he would be the best pick ever and a non violent version of Tyreek. But the Chiefs picked him so I believe he's going to be a Mecole Hardman/Marquise Goodwin hybrid.😂

At least you got the Penix to the Falcons pick. That was one heck of a car wreck🤣

Just curious, my friend. Are you the kind of person that reads the first paragraph of a book and says "Nope, this book is bad" and tosses it aside? Or watch 5 minutes of a movie and say..."Wow, what a dud" and turn it off? Instead of reaching on a WR or S/CB or DT that they didn't likely have valued at a round 1 pick they used round 1 to set up round 2. Let the day play out today. It could very possibly turn out bad, sure. But where we had 1 day 2 pick we now have 3 and the ammunition to slide as far up as we want at any given time. And I don't think they are done moving back. I don't see them picking at 33. I'm saying they make another small trade back with Washington and increase their pick value even more before unleashing hades on the next 2 rounds.

Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Round 1 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)
BuffaloBillyG replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I thought Beane made a very valid point last night. Let's say for the sake of argument the Bills weren't going to take Worthy. Let's say they saw the best value on the board was DeJean and took him. I see those as both being very plausible. Kansas City probably still moves up somewhere and ends up with Worthy anyways. More than likely they weren't just calling Buffalo. They likely had Dallas on the other line. Possibly Baltimore who has made deals with KC in the past. So in essence, by refusing to trade with KC, we have no pick in the 3rd, a S/CB that everyone is mad about taking and someone else improved their own draft picks. And the Chiefs still get Worthy and likely at a slightly smaller price. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to see us take a WR in that spot...but let's see how today plays out. That pick at 95 can be moved way up just by using all those 5ths we have. Think I saw if they used all 4 5ths they had enough value to get to pick 77ish if they need to. I think by the end of the day we're going to be a lot more satisfied. -
What if all this isnt about this year but next year?
BuffaloBillyG replied to steven50's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's about every year. NFL GMs operate on a long term plan. Fans operate on a year to year thought process. -
Depends how far we trade back again. I don't think Beane picks at 33.
-
I have a feeling some of those 5th rounders we have will be used to move up from pick 95 to earlier in that 3rd round if he sees a guy he likes.
