I had never even thought Dez when I watched him. That's a quality take. I think they have a similar run after the catch ability, and that grit to their game. I see a guy similar to Tee Higgins, especially when the ball is in the air.

McMillan is faster, and has better short area quickness than Burks had coming out of Arkansas. I also think he is more versatile because of it with the ability to line up at X, Y, or the Slot. I like him as a prospect more than Golden. That's just me though.

We can agree to disagree, just like we have this entire time. That's fine. I believe the comments Beane made about his reps putting things out there, along with the rest of how things have been handled as a whole are not appreciated. You keep acting like everyone who mentions things of the sort has some kind of lack of education, emotion, or jealousy behind it. I really, REALLY, could care less whether a deal is done or it doesn't get done. Whether he's here, is traded, or walks as a FA. I don't care, my guy. What I am speaking out of is general observation as to how everything else has played out, and my personal opinion on the reasons behind it.

Crazy that McMillan is still on the board and two other WR's were taken before him as well.

And Dalvin made $41.3M in the NFL thus far. He should be good, if he didn't/doesn't blow all of his $$$. Jimbo does have a small window to maximize his $$$. He's a good RB and has proven to be worthy of a raise. The Bills likely agree, but not at the amount he or his agent wants. The Bills have every right to not cave to his demands. This next point has been talked about ad nauseum, but I'm going to repeat it again. I think Beane's comments the other day in the presser, and the fact negotiations have been halted, paint a picture that they (in part) do not appreciate how this situation has been handled. Every single other big name, drafted by the Bills, player coming up on FA got a deal done. Everyone except for James Cook.

With the 11th pick in the 2025 NFL draft....the San Francisco 49ers select...... Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas We could have gone many directions. We could have gone DL, but it's a deep DL draft. We could have gone WR, but we can wait on that as well. OL, we can get another swing OT later as well. We have 5 more picks in the first 138 selections. There aren't too many top notch CB prospects in this draft though, and we lost Charvarius Ward in FA. Barron is a do-it-all CB who can line up on the boundary, in the slot, or even play Safety. He will be a Swiss army knife for Robert Saleh in our defense. He has great instincts, takes good angles, and gets takeaways. Even in the step up against SEC competition this year, he shined. @Doc Brown and the Cowboys are on the clock.

While Baker has had a rebirth of sorts in Tampa. You love to see it. The Browns organization:

@Virgil you can put me down for either the 49ers, Bucs, or Packers.

Beane's comments on Cook make me think of Gabe Davis. They have a number in mind and they will not exceed it. I also think he doesn't appreciate the way Cook's side has handled all of this. I also believe he expects Cook to play out his deal this year. Still wouldn't surprise me if he was moved.

It depends on how the situation is viewed from within. If it is viewed as something that would be a distraction to the team and cause problems, I think they look for the best deal from a team that will give him a contract like he is looking for. Comp picks can't bring peace or develop team chemistry. Sometimes it's best to go ahead and remove the person from the situation.

Made a couple of trades to move back. Picked up a 2nd and 4 3rd's in the process. I know this would NEVER work out this way, but one can dream 56. Walter Nolen / DT / Ole Miss 62. Alfred Collins / DT / Texas 63. Darien Porter / CB / Iowa State 66. Bradyn Swinson / EDGE / LSU 71. Elic Ayomanor / WR / Stanford 93. Gunnar Helm / TE / Texas 95. CJ West / DT / Indiana 169. Kyle McCord / QB / Syracuse 170. Teddye Buchanan / LB / California This would give us a upper tier 3-tech prospect, an upper tier 1-tech prospect, an upper tier CB prospect, an upper tier DE prospect, a solid WR prospect who is being heralded as a sleeper by some, a CLEAR upgrade on Quintin Morris (and a TE who could develop into much more), another 1-tech guy with solid potential, a backup QB prospect, and the ole LB/ST's guy.

6'5" 321lbs

So we have Benford for 5 years at $79.4M. That is a good deal.

Now this is more like it. A defensive end who could only muster 4.5 sacks in a college season, and is better against the run than getting after the passer.
