I'd hope this would be it:
-Getting Parish to be a future #3, slot WR. Maybe Reed finally steps up and becomes a #2 (unlikely) for next year. More likely, TD is preparing for the possibility that Moulds will not be back. He is giving Evans one more year to learn to be the man and then next year we have our #1 (LE) and #3 (RP). We get a bigger, possession type WR to be the #2 in draft or FA next year. We would then have 2 speed WRs and 2 possession types (Aiken + FA/draft?)
-He is not confident in Campbell/Euhus's recovery/skill. He wants reliable weapons around JP. Everett could be a future star in our offense.
-He did not believe a difference maker OL was available in the 2nd or 3rd round. Guys like Baas got snatched up pretty early. He thought it would help JP more to give him more weapons as opposed to a T, G or C that he was not confident could come in and contribute right away.
-He likes Shelton and believes he can get him as a 6/1 cut and for cheaper than $3 mill.
-Gonna deal Henry for second day/future year draft picks. Or hold on to him until a team needs a RB (whether that be training camp, preseason or week 6).
-Will use 2nd day picks to fill in weak depth spots (obviously).
-Is not totally counting on EM to return and WILL spend to keep NC here next offseason. (Reason KT was re-signed and no high-pick CB).
When I think about that, its not so crazy. I wasn't sure about some of the picks, but he didnt pick them without a plan. TD never just does things on whims, the wheels are always turning (good or bad).
Lets see how tomorrow goes.
GO BILLS!!
