Yep, that is classic GM-speak which pretty much means "If we can bring in a better RB, we will, and are looking to do so".

After doing a little more research, it looks like the accurate list of our 2020 draft picks is: Round 2: 54th overall Round 3: 86th overall Round 4: 128th overall Round 5: 167th overall Round 6: 188th overall (from CLE, Teller) Round 6: 207th overall (from BAL through NE, Bodine) Round 7: 239th overall So 7 picks total right now. I can see Beane dealing those late picks to move up a few spots in the 3rd or 4th, and walking away with only 3 or 4 picks made in the draft. I'm for it.

Sounds like he already knows it. Adam Thielen: Stefon Diggs trade was a bummer https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/04/03/adam-thielen-stefon-diggs-trade-was-a-bummer/

Every Viking fan I've encountered is upset about the trade and already missing Diggs. A Viking fan came to the Bills subreddit this morning and posted this with the title: Vikings fan, you guys have a lot to look forward to. Here's Diggs taking on the entire Giant's secondary.

Right, they cant be compared to each other, because their actions are apples and oranges. Smith's were crimes and attacks on other people and he should be sorry. Kaep performed a non-violent protest to draw light and support to people being abused, and he should continue standing up (or kneeling down) for what he believes.

Great idea for a thread Gug!! Here are our girls. Grace (tan pit), Gabby (grey pit), and Freddy Jo (Boxer) All dressed up for our wedding! In their natural state. Asleep and cuddling...

You werent wrong. That isnt the real jersey yet, and it is confusingly similar to the Raiders. I thought the same thing.

That's not just the NFL, but sadly fans too. Plenty here even.

It's pretty tough to track. Even looking into it now, I see conflicting reports on the Vikings page, the Bills articles, and Wikipedia, as to exactly which picks we traded.

It's tough to keep track of with all of Beane's wheeling and dealing. We never had a 7th (or rather, we did at one point but traded it away for Corey Coleman last year) Here was our original list before the Diggs trade: Round 1: 22nd overall Round 2: 54th overall Round 3: 86th overall Round 4: 128th overall Round 5: 155th overall (from CLE, Teller) Round 5: 167th overall Round 6: 188th overall (from CLE, Teller) Round 6: 201st overall Round 6: 207th overall (from BAL through NE, Bodine) BUT, we did pick up a 7th in the Diggs trade. So now that is: Round 2: 54th overall Round 3: 86th overall Round 4: 128th overall Round 5: 167th overall Round 6: 188th overall (from CLE, Teller) Round 6: 201st overall Round 7: 239th overall

Thats a George Costanza move for sure!

McD as he's hanging up: "April Fools!"

We had 3 6ths before the trade, and 2 5ths. We now have 2 6ths and 1 5th.

Hmm, trade up in the 2nd to get an OT so we can have him while re-signing Dawkins.... Sounds exactly like what they did last year. What about the 4th, 5th, 2x6ths, and the 7th? Walk away with 3 key players like RB, Edge, and OL

I think it worked out best for all parties. And I dont think he told the story because he's hurt or upset, but rather simply to illustrate how crazy Free Agency is for the players.

But could you imagine if we did! ?

Yuck. Between this and the soccer comments, take this incel crap back to 4chan.

BEANE WAITS FOR NO ONE!! We're the prize, not you. Love it.

6 picks left right now. And with half of them being 6th and 7th rounders, they dont really give us a lot of value to move that far up in the earlier rounds. I guess I could see him packaging our 4th and a 6th to move up a few slots in the 4th, but I dont see how we can reasonably move up in the 2nd or 3rd and still get 3 quality picks out of the draft.

I work for a similar family of multi-billionaires (worth far more than Hendrick and Pegula combined), and they got there by always treating their employees better than any other company. It's even in the founder's will. Specific instructions on how to treat employees and give back to communities. So it's always good to see!

It isnt even that. I can remember a few where the video would cut out or freeze, or even drop completely. That may have been a few years ago now, so hopefully with Pegula bucks they upgraded from dial-up to cable internet.

You'd think so. But have you seen any of the live Bills pressers streamed online? ??

Visits are the less important part of all that. Limited staff on draft day is the real key that might change Business As Usual.

The only thing working against this idea is the notion the most GMs wont be as willing to trade in this draft due to the lack of interviews and visits, and also the limited staff teams are likely to have in the war room. The NFL isnt going to allow a room of 15 guys working the phones. It looks like they are going to allow 5 or so FO members to be in the team war room. Beane may want to trade up, but may have a tougher time than usual finding a partner, and a tougher time than usual getting a deal done in time.
