I understand, but that is like saying you can wait on QB till the sixth because Tom Brady. The bulk of the excellent WR depth in this draft is going to be gone probably before 60, but definitely day 2. It's plain stupid to pass on that, especially with Diggs on the wrong side of 30.

Okay, seems to me that WR is having immediate impact more frequently. For example, Nacua last year. I think they will sign a vet S, but even if they don't, you don't ordinarily spend a first on one. (I just did a mock where I took Cooper DeJean, however, because I think McD would want him badly if he fell that far.) I don't see massive gaps on OL, but I do think they should keep drafting OL. You can find a C early day 3 that could be good, btw. I'll be more shocked if they wait on WR past round 2, and it would be a mistake to do so, imo. Personally, if AD Mitchell is sitting there, I'm taking him. Thomas, too, but he won't be. I like Legette, but it looks like you could trade back and get him, which might happen.

So, your presumption is they are basically going to pass on one of the deepest drafts at WR because of holes on D and Curtis Samuel? I hope they go WR at #28, but if they don't, my bet would be on WR day 2. (And I'm not sold on Diggs being here in 2025.)

Passed on Mitchell to take the fella I suppose McD would really want if available at #28. Still came out pretty well. BUF 28. Cooper DeJeanS Iowa 64. Xavier LegetteWR South Carolina 128.

I agree. He's not a realistic option for us, but I'd love to get him.

If you read through the subsequent thread, you'll see that I explained that it was mainly a joke, and that I hope we get one of Thomas, Mitchell, Legette, or Coleman, with that order of preference.

You're hired.

He isn't a WR2, and I don't think he was signed to replace Davis. He's a nice piece if he's a #3 or #4. I still expect WR2 is an early draft pick. I'd be thrilled with either. I just don't believe Thomas is going to be there at #28 or really anywhere near there.

I think he could go day 2. If he's there in the fourth, you've got a steal.

Allen isn't slipping to round 4. I'd go with Isaiah Davis in the mid-rounds, or if you go a different direction, Dylan Laube. I think vet S is next, and probably about it, but who knows?

No, it was mainly a joke, but the idea of having another super fast guy is fun to contemplate. I've said already till it's boring for others. I'd love to be able to get Thomas. I'd pay too much to get him. Beane won't. My next on the wish list is Mitchell. I think he can be really good, and he might be within reach. Then Legette, and Coleman for me in that order. You might be able to trade back a bit and still get Legette. Can't get a read on Coleman and where he's likely to go. I love the versatility Beane is infusing into the WR room, but they still need the big X. Those who are skeptical about that need are simply fooling themselves.

Now I sort of like the idea of adding Worthy.

Neither of the Robinsons are edge difference makers that merit #28. It's the absolute definition of reaching for need. It's a terrible draft at the position. Latu is the only fella I would accept, and he isn't going to be there.

It could play out that way. I'd still rather get Thomas if he somehow falls within trade range, or Mitchell, even if that means not trading back to add a pick. But the trade back and grab Legette or Coleman is a plausible strategy, and makes sense.

We currently don't even have a 3rd. Waiting until the 4th round in this exceptional WR draft is just an awful idea.

He's my fall back. Coleman is my fall back to the fall back, though a lot of folks have Coleman ahead of Legette. I'm still going to hold out irrational hope for Thomas, and then moderate hope for Mitchell.

I agree, it would take a big trade up, which is unlikely. I'm going to keep pushing for a big X early.

You mean Coleman, not Campbell. I'm not keen on Franklin. Coleman is okay in the second.

They still need Thomas, Mitchell, or Legette. I hope Beane takes from this incentive to trade up for Thomas. If it means one WR in the draft, get an elite talent. The value of the signing is diminished if it means getting a round 2 edge at #28.

We just signed Curtis Samuel. I think Beane is going to concentrate on getting his WR in round 1. Trade up for Thomas, small jump for Mitchell, or wait on Legette, though you probably could trade back and still get Legette.

What I want are difference makers. If we can add one that makes a difference on the DL, and grab another at WR in the draft, I think I'm okay with that. And probably it won't happen, but you know, life is too short not to have fun with something that doesn't really cost anything but permitting a little bit of hope, even if it's unlikely.

It would have to be a financial sacrifice that would still result in a decent payday, where the payoff is greater domestic happiness, and an appreciative wife. Somehow, I don't find that notion completely impossible to believe. Human flourishing can't just be summed up by purely economic calculation.

In the eternal battle between Warriorspikes51 and BillsFanForever19, I think you have more ammo than usual on this one.

What Ridley's contract ought to tell folks is that it is imperative to get your really good WR on a rookie contract. But somehow, there's still a contingent that thinks we need to get DE and DL early, because Patrick Mahomes . . .

I'd like to give a green checkmark, but that would depend on knowing Beane will trade up/or back for a third round pick. If they go WR in the first, (assuming Armstead) I suspect edge or S in the second. I just can't see a McD team taking WR back-to-back early.
