[What are your draft plans? (Menu, setting, etc)]

About what time will our pick come up?...if we stay at 28? 11?

[1st Round Draft Poll...WWBD (what will Beane do)?]

I am Beane....I do whatever it takes to get to 6 wid my homies. Then I fleece Minny or whoever and trade back to 11/12 for a 11 and 23 or a 2nd and 3rd.

 

Trade back again 12-20 ish and get another 2 and 3. While 2 of these picks may only replace next year's sacrifice, what a way to grab a 2 and 3 this year while getting BT or Latu at around 20.

 

In other news..if I'm BB, I'm throwing next year's picks into this years draft if the above is as unlikely as it seems...and still doing the same thing. Creating 4 picks in the 1st 100.

Never seen a player drafted that high treated in such a way ever by an organization. 

Seriously?   signed...Baker

[Predict the draft day trade]

i predict Beane will do whatever it takes to get to 6 then turn around and trade back twice. ( 6 TO 11/12) then maybe ( 18 to 20) creating chaos while getting us Latu or BT as well as an extra 2 and 3 for this year and next. He's gonna pull out the magic beanes.

[Draft, Here’s What’s Going to Happen]

The trade up is possible..........after drafting Latu.

 

You all watch, the trade up to trade down.....

[Alphamock Draft - v1.0 for first round]

I don't think BB moves back. It's just gonna be too easy to lose out in the half a dozen picks or so, where you're hoping your target(s)still is/are.

 

If anything be it, trade up or stay put, I bet Beane is gonna use a 2025 pick (or 2) this year.

 

Since we're supposed to have decent FA money next year, I feel they believe this is the year to restock with the draft. With so many teams with multiple picks in rds. 2 and 3, now's the time to wheel and deal. Next year we should just be shopping to fill holes and go BPA all the way.

[Draft, Here’s What’s Going to Happen]

Beane will trade 2025 1st and our 2nd to Seattle for no. 16 and DK Metcalf.  He will then trade back from 16 to 23 ( after Minny trades 11 and 23 for J.J.).

AZ. will get no.16/144.  The Bills will get 23 / 35 and 71.   Latu / Legette / Sweat (60) and Walker.

 

WR room:

DK

Legette

Samuel

Shakir

Walker

Hollins

Shorter would make 7 and they have kept 7 before.

 

[Alphamock Draft - v1.0 for first round]

In this scenario, I'm targeting AZ. at 23 and picking Latu then hiding behind the BPA sign. The guy could be a major impact for years to come.

I would send next years 1st and a 2nd  for the 5 spots, 35 and 71.

 

AZ. with 3 1sts and 3 3rds. I'm sure they wouldn't mind some ammo for the future. I know if I had Murray, I would be thinking ahead.

 

Then I'm taking Ladd at 35.

 

Then I'm gonna swap GB 71 and a 6th for 88 to move from 60 to 41 to grab Legette.

 

Latu, Ladd, Legette then Maason Smith at 88.   Safety and CB can wait especially if we can get Simmons later.

Gee I speculated this weeks ago as a guy who used to work in college football. Highly athletic specimens don’t flounder for 4 years unless unless their dumb or they have a crappy attitude 

Just wondering...What was the QB situation for those 4 years? Has anyone maybe considered that into the equation?

I'd also prefer that if they're available.  I'm not sure they will be,  and the rest of the DE/DL prospects that seem likely to be there at 60 seem pretty ordinary to me.  Maybe a little better at DT than DE,  but it's still not much more than a 50-50 preference compared to a safety.  And I think they have a more immediate need at the latter.  

I think they will use the mantra BPA no matter what. I wouldn't be opposed at all with them getting Latu and then moving up in the 2nd. If we ended up with Wilson and Burton/Baker/Walker, I would not complain. If Latu can be had from 24 to 27, I don't think I could pass that up.  IDK, I'm just driving myself crazy. 8 more days.

I'm leaning more and more to the idea that,  if the Bills keep pick 28,  it will be McConkey.  Just in terms of pre-draft visits the last few years,  they seem to have a significant preference for these types of speed/quickness/route-running types early and less apparent concern for height/weight.  Ignoring the top 3 that they have no shot at,  McConkey seems like the best overall of that sub-group,  IMO,  and I think I've about settled on him as WR 5 in this draft. 

 

If they can add both him and Legette,  I'd definitely be happy.  I'm just not sure how.  I think we're more likely looking at McConkey OR Legette at 28 and maybe whatever is left at 60 or one of the better mid-round prospects in a trade into R3. 

I'd rather they went Dline in the 2nd especially if they can get Sweat., Fiske or whatever. Somehow, some way BB has to create a 3rd without trading back from 60.

I think you'd have to count on spending a 2025 second. I think that could get you around pick #40.

I have a hard time seeing him making it to 40. I struggle with the question of would it be better to get the big guy first and maybe then try for a Wilson or Pearsall? I think it would be a miracle to get Ladd and Legette.

[NFL draft rumors 2024]

4 minutes ago, Dr. Who said:

I think if they stick at #28, Beane ought to take McConkey. Then trade up in the second to secure Legette, presuming he doesn't sneak into the first round. McConkey is a top 5 or 6 WR, imo, and I think he can be a volume WR his first year.

I agree with this. Question is how far up can they get?...and what would it take?

[Adonai Mitchell - name cracks me up]

Hopefully if we do draft him, A.D. won't stand for Another Drop.

[NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Broncos WR Courtland Sutton did not report for voluntary OTAs]

They (the Bills )are gonna have to use 2025  picks to get the job done this year....and I hope they do,

 

Ladd and Legette ...or Latu and .....Beane has to get ballsy.

I see Von, who might be finished. AJ, who’s never put it all together. And Rousseau, a legit starting edge.

 

Edge is worse or equal to WR. 

Not to mention Von's probably 3rd down only.

Yeah, that compensation isn't happening. I'm not sure what chart you're looking at, but a 2nd in 2025 isn't getting you 8 spots in the 1st, 9 spots in the 2nd, and a 3rd Round pick. That's not even possible in Madden. 

Maybe not, but no package of picks from this year will. I'm just keeping in mind there are multiple teams with 2 in the 2nd and 2 in the 3rd.

 

Right now we may probably get starters at 28 and 60 but after that?

[Bills top 30 visits]

I would target the Steelers at 20. I'm trading a 2025 2nd (likely from Minn.) to...

 

swap 28 for 20

swap 60 for 51

receive pick 84

 

If BT is there, great, if he's gone take Latu. No way he gets to 28.

 

BTJR at 20  Sweat at 51 or Latu and move up in the 2nd for WR

I’d be fine with Saumataia if he could start at RG this season. Then, depending on how he pans out, kick him out out RT if we lose Brown.  

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm fine with RG and wouldn't mess with it.

 

Btw. IMO, the trade back would be moronic. 13 spots out of the 1st for 88?  I hope that doesn't happen.

And there lies the biggest problem.  We should've been transitioning to more man coverage years ago. I'm willing to give Kaiir one more year to improve his zone play. And if he can't accomplish that with a new coach then cut his ass.

I heard McD in a presser saying exactly what I posted. What I heard lead me to believe he feels some innovation on D is in store...and I hope so.

He mentioned the need to zig when they think you're zagging.

I'd even trade a 2025 second and a couple later pics to ensure the deal gets done, then you could still draft another receiver in the first or second round this year and the whole group would be extremely formidable. I'd even prefer to go best player available in the first round and then move up a good ways in the second round and get the receiver then. Landing Aiyuk would actually give us multiple options and not be forced into anything.

Maybe this is a draft day decision. If the board goes haywire, maybe they have a plan

[TSW 2.0 Poll - Who should the Bills draft at 41?]

1 hour ago, H2o said:

I took Legette for the Commanders because I think the guy is gonna be a beast. I also think the style of offense Kingsbury wants to run warrants the selection. Lastly, I took Legette to let those who were hoping to say "I told you so" about the trade back bask in their utter disappointment. So they would cuss at the monitor or the screen in their hands because the team in front of the Bills took who many of them were hoping to get. 

 

Now people have to reason within themselves and come up with an explanation as to why they believe in Franklin. It's kind of comical actually. This isn't knocking those who truly believe in Franklin, that he could be a difference maker. This is a dig at those now trying to act like he would be perfect for this team due to nothing other than a number on a selection card. 

 

P.S. ~ I voted to take Franklin here as well, and don't think the perceived sub-par Combine outweighs what you see from him on the game tape. But all of you know, because I have said it time and time again, Legette is my guy. 

Even though one might guess your name to be Richard, everything was true....or a very possible reality.
