I look at it like this: If one of the 15 - 20 or so "first round talents" get within striking distance of a move up, Beane seems to do that. Since we don't have a third and are picking lower in the round, it seems like the value for a sizeable move won't be there this year. I think Beane values the draft picks even more now that the salary cap accounts for Josh, as opposed to prior when there was more money available for free agents; he has to get more value from the draft class. I think any one of the first three picks could be in play for a trade down, but I think picks 3-7 have a higher than normal chance of moving up. This year it will be expensive to move up in the mid rounds, but I think Beane will find some value in players to do it and we have the ammo.

Seems like the the Bradberry visit put a little gas on the negotiations.

Someone needs to make our drafted DT's feel good about themselves, he's the guy!

Pretty extreme way to make sure they're healthy for the playoffs. Yay?

You probably won't notice if one of them get hurt? That's all I got right now. I do agree with logic in his post above that there was opportunity with the chargers and palmer didn't take advantage of it. Paying these free agents seems like a waste of money, we really need to do a better job of drafting middle/late round wr's who can contribute. We should not need to drop fa money into the wr group.

I look at it like the talent is there and it would be up to our coaches and players to get him to perform. I think he and Russ weren't on the same page last year and Pickens had issues with the offense. Is he more like Diggs than not? Probably, but IMO we need guys with talent like Pickens to win playoff games. It's up to our culture to handle personality issues.

I wonder what the Steelers would want for Pickens.

He seems more driven to win than play with his brother. It always seemed one way to me, his brother seemed to do most of the talking. And Buffalo probably would have traded him to Dallas if they had wanted him. Beane said KC was off the table, I didn't hear anything about Dallas. Why wouldn't he want to play with Patrick Mahomes to give himself a great chance of playing in the Super Bowl? They're a pretty good bet. Andy Reid seems to not mind the crazies. Seems like they also have a need. What else do you need?

My money is on KC. I think that's been his goal when he decided to leave the Bills.

Change we change this to "So Ralphsy"? This was certainly the largest pooch given the business in a long line of pooches.

I hope the eagles get Barkley his yards. Would be fitting for the Chiefs to give it up, although it will be tough.

It is also not filet. Point being it's not easy to get him down after he gets moving. We haven't done it much but we need to be able to.

Wherever their spines are?

You don't get Mahommes on the ground with one guy. You need multiple guys.

I like how they are bringing the lumber when they get there.
