Your one, and only one, draft hot take?


Recommended Posts

We are less than 48hrs out from the completion of the first found of the draft. What is your biggest hot take?

 

Mine is Darnell Washington being the first tight end off the board.
 

I think this still qualifies as a hot take. I have seen some recent rankings and mocks that have Washington as the first tight end off the board or the second highest graded right end in the draft. 
 

Still, the overall consensus I think is that he is a second round prospect and the #3 TE. 
 

Some rumblings of possible medical issues but those could maybe be smoke screens. And after seeing how Gronk’s career panned out after his serious medical red flags I think more than one GM will be willing to take a gamble on him.

It's not an exact comp but Washington reminds me a lot of Johnny U's favorite target

my hot take is I’m going to laugh at all the beat, fat, old, whipped wannabe draft experts here that skewer Beane no matter who he picks just because he didn’t pick their guy. 
 

edit: it’s not actually a “hot” take, I’ve done it for several years now.

The Bills move up to #24 swapping 1sts with the Jaguars and giving them our 4th rounder.  Similar to what we did last year.  We leapfrog the Giants to take Jordan Addison or Zay Flowers (whichever one is left).

IIRC Johnny was very upset when Leo Durocher stole this two sport athlete and future HR king.

Rashee Rice will have one of the two best careers of WRs in this draft.

Hot take.... Jack Campbell will still be on the board at #59.


it’s only a hot take on this board. I think both you and I know that with the exception of maybe Simpson that those guys never were being picked in round 1

If true there’s really only about 15 players with consensus first round grades someone we all thought would be top 15 will be there when the Bills pick…

The guys this year will be Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer and WR Jordan Addison 

Beane will skip them to draft Mazi Smith of Michigan

Zay Flowers falls out of the first round.  
 

JSN

Johnston

Addison


Only 3 WR go in RD 1.  Unless we go Downs - I can live with Hyatt to I think.   

I’ll go opposite and say Zay Flowers will be the first WR taken. He’s who I want the bills to take but GMs know he’s the most talented WR in this class and he will go first
