Low Positive

Some of that is Mahomes seeing the penalty and then making a very risky play because he knows it's coming back. Brady was the master of throwing balls to get DPIs and Mahomes has taken up that mantle. Others are refs bailing him out.

If you look at the draft trade charts, our entire draft is worth less than the Chargers pick at 5 (I think that the first four picks will be QBs after the Vikings trade up to 4). Even if you add in that pick that the Bills got for Diggs, it's not enough. It would have to be 2024 and 2025 firsts, 2024 2nd and that high second in 2025 plus other picks. And all that for a guy that could bust. That's a high price for a non-QB.

Relieved? I read on this message board today that Josh Allen is about to demand a trade to the Rams after the 2025 season due to the details of his contract and his hatred of Sean McDermott. Josh Allen has never given any indication of being unhappy playing in Buffalo and he went to bat for McDermott, but that doesn't stop fans from speculating that he hates it there. But Bills fans are a unique bunch. They play out every scenario, identify the worst possible outcome, and then convince themselves that the worst outcome is inevitable. I think that most of it is an inferiority complex derived from living in WNY, but it rubs off on fans who have never lived a day of their life in Buffalo. I think that we are unique in this. Nobody in Green Bay (a city much smaller and more isolated than Buffalo) is discussing Jordan Love's coming trade demand to the Niners and no one in Cincinnati is playing out Joe Burrow trade demand scenarios to Miami if the Bengals don't win a super bowl in the next few years. And that's with Jordan Love being from Bakersfield and Joe Burrow having said that Cincinnati is "boring." FWIW, I'm still pissed off at Diggs for this stunt, Beane for giving in to his demands, and the entire Bills organization for allowing it to get to that point. Josh needs to learn how to deal with diva WRs because all of the great ones act like that. So if he's relieved, he better not get too comfortable because if whoever we draft becomes as good as Diggs, he will start acting like a diva. It's only a matter of time.

I don't think that the teams themselves announce those visits. It is usually the agents leaking to drum up interest or the players themselves posting it to social media. So, Thomas' post on Instagram is probably about as good a source that you can have for this type of information.

Alex Smith. I'm cheating a bit because Brandon Perna just posted a Ball Deep on Smith today.

I totally agree with you, but I can't find a way to do it. The Vikings have two firsts in this draft and I think they will trade those plus a 1st next year to Arizona for 4. They will then take McCarthy who will bust, but I digress. You then have the Chargers at 5 with all the WRs still on the board. In order to get there, the Bills would probably have to trade 2024 1st, 2024 2nd, 2025 1st and 2025 2nd (from Vikings) and that still probably isn't enough. If it took 3 1st roud picks and two 2nds would you still want them to do that?

Million dollar super cars have multiple defects right from the factory. They are hilariously unreliable and are only good for about 20,000 miles. So basically, Stefon Diggs.

I’ve been a no on this since @Pine Barrens Mafia suggested it in the aftermath of the Denver loss, but the salary cap does make things like this interesting to think about. At every position other than QB, a high-level draft prospect has more value than an all-pro. For example, the right to pick MHJ is worth more right now than Justin Jefferson. This is unique to the NFL. International soccer leagues have no cap or draft, baseball has no cap or draft for Latin American players and players take years to develop, the NBA has a soft cap, and the NHL drafts at 18 so like baseball players take years to see the top league. In the NFL, potential on a rookie deal is worth more than any player that you have to pay. All that being said, QB is different.

No! This draft is the first step in my dream of building a roster with Josh Allen and 52 WRs. Just think of what he could do with all those weapons!

On January 12, he posted this to Instagram which sounded like a goodbye to a lot of people https://www.instagram.com/court./p/C2A_TUpvEq-/?img_index=1

I agree with your point. I was just joking about Talbot's typo.

I don't want a small-small prospect. I want big-big prospects.

Ae we sure that we want him? I just checked his Instagram and he doesn't have a single workout video but he does have multiple posts of him golfing this offseason.

You joke, but there are multiple frequent posters on TBD who want the Bills to do just that.

I was wrong. It is Ankou.

I think that's Mike Edwards, the S that the Bills signed from the Chiefs.

Higgins is handling this a lot better: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10116829-tee-higgins-anticipates-staying-with-bengals-in-2024-amid-nfl-trade-contract-rumors

I was too. I was absolutely sure that Sam Darnold was a can't-miss prospect and that Josh Allen would bust. I screamed at the TV and all that, but I thankfully didn't leave a post for posterity. I called my dad and his attitude was that he's our guy now so lets see where it leads us. Always wise advice for situations over which you have no control.

I like Wilson more. I'm not sure that I want a guy that is demanding a trade form a team that was a play or two away from winning a Lombardi.

I think Garret Wilson needs to be on that list too.

That's just a handful of people on here. It's all for the same reason, which can be found in this revealing thread from the past:

How do you feel about Michigan State guys? Because that’s where Coleman was until their coaching situation hit the fan.

Beane has to be careful. I remember in 2018 we had posters on TBD that pounded the table for Roquon Smith at 12 and Mason Rudolph in the second because of “value.” Screw value. Get your guy.

No Boogie? No dice!

Worthy is going to KC at 32 and this board will melt down.
