Rigotz Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Why am I seeing this loser mentality in every thread? It's ok if you want to trade for DeAndre Hopkins or if you feel Beane has a bad track record in the 2nd round ... but multiple threads have these snarky little comments like "oh boy, can't wait to get another AJ Epenesa this year!!" Every GM misses draft picks... but look at WR's drafted in the 2nd round in the past 4 years alone: - Deebo Samuel - AJ Brown - DK Metcalf - Diontae Johnson - Tee Higgins - Michael Pittman - Chase Claypool - Elijah Moore - Christian Watson Again, totally fine if you like the certainty of trading for Hopkins, but acting like 2nd round picks are "overrated" is insane. Imagine having any of those guys above for cheap across from Diggs for the next 4 years. Now, imagine using the $20M/yr Hopkins is due on a DE/DT/OG/etc. from Free Agency... in ADDITION to still having Deebo, Brown, Higgins, etc. THAT is why 2nd round picks are valuable. Drop the "we never get it right :(" attitude and try a little optimism. 👍 7 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's arguably the best receiver in the NFL. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I mean just looking at what our roster is comprised of. Diggs - 5th Davis - 4th Shakir - 5th Sherfield - UDFA Harty - UDFA Could find a starter in any round. 4 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Go OT, Mingo, AND trade for Hopkins. That’s my dream scenario. ^^ Yes I’m good with Wright at 27 - if no OT trade back again - assuming we’ve done so already with Arizona for Nuke 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The last “weak” WR draft was the 2019 draft. A lot of great WRs were drafted that year. Ive considered this a weak class but that’s based on the top of the 1st round. I don’t see a true WR1 prospect but there will be WR1’s drafted in this draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I just threw up in my mouth a little bit at the memory of mortgaging a future 1st round pick just to trade up a few spots for Sammy Watkins Please let our current GM never be that stupid. It's a pretty low bar but a reasonable request 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have Debo Samuel and DK Metcalf we'll be optimistic when he picks a stud in this round 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein's Dog Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Now do the failures, the flops, the misses. I want the certainty of DHop over the roll of the dice WR and an overpay on the DL (looking at you Oliver). Many of us (myself included) wanted a redistribution of assets to the offensive side of the ball and the FO has so far been on course (Edmunds gone, hardball on Poyer, Oliver iffy). C'mon Beane bring it home with DHop!!!! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because 2019 wasn't actually a weak WR draft. Teams were just gun-shy from the bad WR drafts of 2015-2018. That was a really significant and hard to explain dry spell where a lot of teams got burned.........which re-set the expected value of WR's in the draft. Since 2019 there have been some tremendous WR drafts. Bills haven't got much to show for it but there have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams grade players and the draft plays out based on that. It was considered weak draft leading up to the draft. With that said who is the DK Metcalf of this draft? Unreal physical talent but lacking production or good film? Edited April 24, 2023 by Buffalo_Stampede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t even make sense. It was a weak draft class prospect wise. If Jamaar Chase was in the 2019 draft he’d go top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
