I know they’re trying to entertain a live audience, but all this extra feel good stuff is too much for me. I don’t care about the Wolverines.

True, and SF drafted a WR. Who’s to say Worthy wasn’t the guy?

I agree it’s not prevalent, I just don’t think that being 300 pounds is ever “healthy”. They are very strong guys, and better athletes than me, but there’s a reason most offensive linemen lose a ton of weigh in retirement. It isn’t healthy to maintain, and they’re intentionally gaining weight to be lineman throughout their football careers.

To be fair it wouldn’t shock me if there have been offensive lineman with type 2 over the years.

Yeah, once I got over the KC trade, I was more disappointed we couldn’t make any trades up the board. It felt like the right time to go all in considering where Josh is in his career. This felt like a conservative McBeane play, and very much part of the philosophy that keeps us from taking the next step. You can only worry about tomorrow for so long. It’s a great team building philosophy to end a drought, but I think it’s time to be aggressive.

I’ve wondered that as well, people keep talking about all these fifth round picks. How much value do they actually have in these trade up scenarios?

Cousins is never happy with his situation, but he makes a lot of money, so there’s that.

Beane historically has made great use of trades during the draft. I think he got caught up in the idea that every trade down is good because you build draft capital. This might all work out, but I don’t think he got enough to make these trade downs worthwhile. It felt like starting out with a brand new car, continuing to trade them in to save money, until you’re finally stuck with a clunker at the end of it.

I agree, I don’t think any of these veteran WR’s are what some people think. Jefferson would be the only extremely impressive addition.

I’d like to think, but is the draft capital we collected really good enough to be useful in a trade? I don’t think so.

Beane doesn’t value receivers. I’ve been saying this for a while. The Carolina team Beane worked for operated the same way.

Is it high motor lunch pail time soon?

Here’s my issue, it doesn’t matter if we didn’t want Worthy. You don’t give Mahomes a speed receiver. It’s ok that Beane didn’t want Worthy, but there’s no way you take the risk of giving any help to Mahomes. Maybe the Chiefs draft Worthy at 32, but why be directly responsible for potentially watching Worthy catch deep passes against us in the playoffs? I just don’t get it.

Can’t wait for Worthy to dominate Cooper DeJean 😂

Why would we do anything for KC?

That’s fair, but if we have a specific receiver who ranks highly on our draft board, that could be a risky move. A trade down would indicate we don’t have much faith in any of the remaining receivers, and there isn’t much separation between those guys. I think it’s a matter of giving me less confidence on a personal level. I want the Bills to be high on one of these wideouts, it somehow gives me more hope.

Lots of receiver or bust posts the past few weeks. Now many of us are advocating for a trade down. I’m confused where all the receiver or bust crowd went.

I’m getting more nervous that we’ll draft an undersized defensive player who excelled at wrestling and is an Eagle Scout.

Blank is a meddling owner, nothing would surprise me in ATL.

Cousins gets benched this year, I’d bet on it.

Yeah, I don’t know if I’d go that path as a GM though. I don’t like any of the QB’s left, but at the end of the day, none of us can predict these things. If you don’t have a playoff QB, I think you need to keep selecting them until you find one. Each year becomes a wasted lottery ticket. That receiver isn’t going to move the dial, no matter how good. The Bills made the same mistake at the QB position during the drought years.

What a waste of these receiver talents thus far.

Nevermind, I legitimately can’t get used to that, now I don’t blame the guy 😂

I’ve never seen a guy less thrilled to go to San Diego. I know Midwest folk aren’t very animated, but geez. edit: LA 😆

That’s definitely possible, but Arizona just seems like one of those franchise who can’t make any good decisions.
