Hot-Flamethrower said: One of those really top receivers like Harrison, Nabers etc. Trades need to be considered (including those 10 picks). As long as we get a young safety somewhere, I think we need to do what needs to be done to add playmakers. Nabors is the second best receiver in this WR heavy draft. He will be long gone and probably well out of trade up range. 1 Quote

It all depends upon how the draft falls, of course, but we need to get younger and cheaper. More draft picks is the best way to accomplish that. All you have to do is nail all the picks! Easy Peasy. Having said that, if a stud falls we happily take him. Next year has me wondering what it will look like. EDIT: This beats the hell out of doing this in October! 😋 .

I'm strictly against body catchers. In the video I posted, you can see he's a natural hands catcher, but obviously every catch can't be a hands catch. Franklin gives me Chad Johnson vibes. Leggette doesn't seem to be that polished of a route runner. Edited January 22 by Chicken Boo Quote

He's a ball hawk, isn't super proficient in the run game, but he's was a do it all safety for Miami 2 years ago, this year he missed some time with an injury but was their best player on the back 7. They have two high caliber safeties coming out but James Williams is a Strong Safety whereas Kam is the FS. Will he be there in the third? Quote
DCOrange Posted January 22 Posted January 22 18 minutes ago, peterpan said: Are there any Mike evans / dk metcalf / justin Jefferson types? that’s the mold we need I don't think any of those guys are really similar to one another. In terms of the tall, physical WR mold like Evans, you could maybe look to Keon Coleman or Adonai Mitchell. However, they both rank near the bottom of the draft class in terms of yards per route run and aren't particularly good in terms of contested catch rate. Mitchell moves fairly well for his size but his targets per route run suggest he probably doesn't get open as well as most. Coleman on the other hand gets a pretty good number of targets but they're mostly contested opportunities which is a pretty big red flag against college competition. In terms of the size/speed freaks like DK, you're probably looking at Brian Thomas Jr. and Xavier Legette. But unlike DK Metcalf, who was one of the best prospects to come around in a long time in terms of beating press coverage, that's something that Xavier Legette really struggles with. Thomas has the size (6'4"), speed, and press beating skills to at least kinda earn that sort of competition, but he body catches pretty much everything. Not really sure anyone particularly compares to Jefferson aside from maybe one of the guys that are out of our reach. Quote

That's my dude this year... Unfortunately...as the process plays out...I doubt he'll last till #28... Especially if he runs in the 4.3's... Quote
whorlnut Posted January 22 Posted January 22 3 hours ago, TFBillsfan said: One thing to watch is Beane better not go to sleep as the draft pick gets close. KC will be looking for the same type of player so if your WR is there, go get him. Don’t get blindsided like they did with McDuffie. WR has to be the pick barring something unexpected. I thought this same exact thing this morning. KC will be behind us again and needing the same thing we need. I expect Beane to move up for a WR for this reason. Can’t sit and hope our guy falls to us just to see KC pass us and get that guy. Quote
Juice_32 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Trade up for Malik Nabers, whatever it takes. He’s going to be a monster. 1 Quote

Especially if he runs in the 4.3's... FWIW, Dane Brugler from The Athletic just released his first two-round mock of the year based on what's hearing around the league and he does not have Legette going in the first two rounds. Seems like a lot of people have been turned off from him recently. Obviously plenty of time for that to change though. Quote

Especially if he runs in the 4.3's... Yea it is a risk. I figure being an older prospect and one year of production and a strong class might push him down just a touch. I think he is in competition with Brian Thomas and Troy Franklin who are both going to run really fast too and are vertical outside receivers... so there is a chance the top 3 go and then the other two go first. Put it this way.... he should get into range to get him even if they have to be aggressive. 2 Quote

I do like him a lot but man if there is any way to trade up a little and get Odunze I’d be ecstatic Quote

MHJ, Nabers, Odunze. I am not giving away all my mock v1.0 secrets (you have a week or so to wait) but I agree with DJ's v1.0 the other day. I see it being 3 QBs then 3 WRs in the first 6 picks. Don't have the order exactly the same but that is the way the first 6 looks like shaking out to me without trades. Quote

Don't have the order exactly the same but that is the way the first 6 looks like shaking out to me without trades. Agreed you can’t trade all the way up to top 10 but there is a way he falls to the teens or lower. A lot of teams need OT help. And honestly I see at least 4 QBs going in the top 10. Don’t forget Bowers will get snagged early. It’s unlikely but if he falls to the teens I’d be willing to move up and snag him if it only took our 2nd rounder. Hes that good But If we can’t get a bona fide stud day 1 super star then I’m fine grabbing a couple WRs in this draft because it is very deep at the position Quote
