Our kicker was a 6th, Dane Jackson a 7th. Beane has arguably been better with his late picks than kid picks

137 (early 5th) for 150 (mid 5th) 215 (late 6th / prob a comp pick in 6th)

For - 150 and guessing prob a 7th??

BUF traded 137 to Washington - like it depending on return

No - ARI pick we got in a trade

I would trade down here if possible for a later 5th and a 7th - all lottery tickets to a certain extent at this point

Would he be a better replacement than Bates though? Can only keep so many interior olineman

Agree 100% - I wouldn’t have objected to him with our 3rd round pick

Tyler Scott wr is very interesting here

Yeah great analysis - you nailed it as we got the best receiver in the draft, wr or te. I wonder if they had him rated ahead of all the wr’s

Which could be the same wording for any of 31 other teams, though: "Bills trade for Hopkins may be close as terms, "figure out draft compensation and money"

Then you're competing with a handful of teams trying to sign him as an UFA and we'd never be able to compete money wise. Why not just swap 27 for 34 for a cash retained and restructured DHOP? Then take you MLB, DT or OL at 34. Makes a ton of sense - we get DHOP and the new ARI GM saves face

Would love it - 27 for 34 and DHOP. Like DW at 34 but might lean to LB due to bills non-use of TEs in their offense

As stated before, it's a no brainer: Trade 27 and a 5th for 34, a 7th and DHOP with ARI retaining $10m. DHOP restructures with Buffalo to even further reduce the cap hit. ARI's new GM can say he did well cuz he moved up for another 1st. We get DHOP, our choice of MLB at 34 and BPA at 59 (thinking OLINE, TE or DT), BPA at 91 (TE or DL or OL) and BPA at 130 (what's remaining between TE, OL and DL). Slam dunk, off-season won

As is every team in the NFL who has an elite QB......

Yep and if another DHOP thread damages a person’s life beyond repair, don’t read the fkng text. Why are people so fkng sensitive to one more thread on a message board? Grow up

They can coexist - they’re close friends and want to win firsr

Agreed - nobody is forcing you to read another DHOP thread. If you’re offended, don’t go on the thread Then don’t participate on this one

I voted yes, because it's a given that DHOP's cap hit would be greatly reduced for Buffalo, otherwise the trade would be impossible anyway (couldn't fit him under the cap). 2 scenario's I could see: 1. Bills trade pick #59 for DHOP - ARI retains salary and DHOP restructures to make contract cap friendly. Bills then trades #27 for a low to mid 2nd rounder along with a 3rd or 4th. In the 2nd they draft their future starting MLB 2. Bills trade pick #27, and pick #130 (our 4th) for DHOP, #34 and pick #180 (6th). ARI retains salary and DHOP restructures to make contract cap friendly. Bills pick our future starting MLB at #34 or a stud TE (maybe even after another trade down into the middle 2nd) and the best available player at #59 (TE/MLB, DT or OL) Love this as that TE is ridiculous and should be available, but no MLB picked in the 1st 2 rounds keeps us pretty vulnerable there. Of course, with the offense you propose Defense wouldn't matter as much and we could always sign one post 6/1 cuts

Cuz he doesn’t know anything

At this point, if I’m Beane, I make a fair contract to OBJ and end the drama

Both have concerns as any team does: MIA does Tua stay healthy? NYJ can their D replicate, A lot of new parts - do they mesh, when will Rodgers fall off a cliff?

Josh Allen vs the Russ Wilson Disaster

I think someone earlier in the thread posted he was rated #100 WR which is a low #3.

Yep - I was being conservative with my +7m cap hit projection for DHOP as I don't know much salary the cardinals will be willing to retain (if any) and I'm not sure how much future cap implications Beane's willing to take on. To get to 4.5 this year Beane would have to add to voidable years to the end of DHOPs restructure contract will high cap ramifications. I think the Bills would love DHOP and DHOP would love the Bills but there are significant obstacles in a trade scenario: 1. Draft picks - Will the Cardinal's ask become reasonable and will a current Bills player be added as a sweetener? 2. Are other teams interested in DHOP? 3. Can Beane make the cap work and is he willing to? 4. Will Pegula be willing to open his wallet again for a DHOP and probably another player restructure? Every restructure where salary turns into a signing bonus, Pegula has to pay the whole lump sum bonus upfront. A lot of obstacles which indicates to me it probably won't happen. The important thing here though is it seems Beane is not satisfied with the status quo at WR? Diggs is a legitimate #1 but Davis is not a legit #2, he's an average to above average #3. There are options for that #2 besided DHOP - Jeudy (probably too pricey), other WRs available in a trade that we haven't heard about and pick #27
