I’m still excited about the opportunities on the board.
AD Mitchell has as much potential as any receiver in the draft. I HOPE he interviewed well, as McD won’t want to take on another diva and there are reports of him taking plays off. I don’t think that is abnormal, nor am I concerned about the diabetes. If he’s got the right attitude he could be a great fit.
If AD is off our board, Ladd most certainly has to be the best potential WR. In many ways his game mirrors Diggs. Great route runner, can play inside or out, and ran 4.39. He’s not big, slightly smaller than Steph, and has had issues staying on the field, so that’s a bit concerning.
What worries me is throughout the process it’s looked like they love Troy Franklin. IF they go a different direction at 33, I’d be fine with a move up from 60 to grab him once the WR’s start to fall. I don’t like him at 33, not great value.
Now IF they swerve us and wait on WR there are a couple guys who offer value and fit need. Cooper Dejean has been most talked about, but I think I’d go Newton. Yes he’s a bit too similar to Oliver, but the dude is a great player. Pairing him with Ed on 3rd downs could help the DE situation in that they’d terrorize the pocket up the middle.
Final thought, with more draft capital we can definitely double dip today and walk away with 3 players that should contribute right away.
Damn it’s going to be a long wait!
Go Bills!
