Sigh Don't worry about the intelligence of the coaching staff, the GM is smart enough not to put them in that bind. The FO already bought a Hyatt clone for a third less of the price, so not happening. A TE2 to replace Morris, complete luxury pick, not happening (at least not in the 1st round).

nosejob Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Einstein's Dog said: The idea of drafting a WR or TE2 is exciting. It means the FO sees a huge talent. But IMO it is unlikely. From a financial perspective, picking at 27 is around a $2.5M spot. We just picked up someone comparable to J Hyatt for under $2M, we had someone on our practice squad sniped on us comparable to Q Johnson - Hodgins. Our TE2's have salaries under $3M - even OJ Howard. Or the Bills can take what looks like a comparable to the guy that just left us for $18M. One would think this just may be a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have no problem with this selection at 27 but the hole left by Edmunds is big and I’d be surprised to see Bean pass on Campbell if he’s there.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: No. It’s a very bad top of the draft for WRs. Just no clear WR1’s. I personally feel it’s a pretty weak draft overall. Not very exciting draft. Which tells me to draft offensive lineman early and often. I would take 2 OL in the 1st 3 rounds and try to grab a WR that falls down in the 1st or 2nd. I mean, I was half joking, but I do think most of these posts are probably a result of doing a GM/FO a favor than actually polling every NFL GM/FO. IMHO, regardless of whether they are a "WR1", there are 3-4, maybe 5, WRs I'd be happy with at 27. Definitely JSN, Flowers, and Addison. Johnston probably too (haven't looked into him much b/c he's likely not making it to 27). Maybe Hyatt. The draft OL early and often bit? You're speaking my language. To me the best value seems to be Avila in round 2 if he lasts to our pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People understandably love the ceiling. But the floor is like Kevin White style bust. Wasn't Kevin White's problem injuries? He never really had a chance to develop and get his career off the ground.

He never really had a chance to develop and get his career off the ground. In part, sure. But some of his issues were the same. Didn't run routes and played smaller than his size. The two other ***** body vertical style 1st round receivers I remember having those concerns on are Brashad Perriman and Kevin White. I am not saying Johnston isn't a viable gamble, especially in this class, but he is treated on this board at times like a sure thing and he is essentially a spin of the roulette wheel.

NewEra Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Watching the most recent Sam Monsons (Pff) mock draft- Cam Smith- 🤮 They dismissed Elam. said there were no LBs or DTs worthy. Offensive line- maybe- BPAs we’re Myles murphy, Bresee, mcdonald, mayer, flowers, Forbes, mazi. Anton harrison went top 20 iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather take Mazi over Jack Campbell if they are going to burn another first rounder on D. I would probably take Mayer from that list.

I think people are excited about him because this class is so bad. He’s the only big guy with elite upside. What he could be is spectacular and better than anyone in the draft. In a draft as weak as this years, he’s the perfect guy to roll the dice on. I see the problems with his hands- but everyone else is sub 6 foot, sub 166-190lbs. Size is nice to have. Coach him up. Let Diggs work with him. Gabe is a super hard worker and going into his FA year. You can bet he’ll be working his tail off even harder. Johnston would be in a great WR room. That stuff cannot be discounted in regards to an athletes maturation. I’d be pumped but my first year expectations would be tempered. I think gabe would probably start Edited April 11, 2023 by NewEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
