I honestly didn’t think we would go WR until rd4 a week ago. Now not only think they will go with a wr in rd1 I believe they make a crazy move and try for one of the top 3-4 guys 

I'm not banking on some sell the farm trade. Maybe Beane plans on using that extra 2nd as well as next yrs. 1st to create some action in the 2nd and 3rd rds.

I'd much rather have 4 picks there to work with( in addition to 28) instead of selling out for one guy.....who could tear an ACL going to the podium.

My guy is Legette, so you already know. I think he has the ability to be that big play WR who can take any ball to the house. Whether it be one Go route, a Slant, a Post, a Post Corner, he can get loose. I also like that he has a big body for a WR at 220lbs. I've seen comps of Deebo, and Steve Smith says DK, but I see AJ Brown with a bit more speed in the open field.

I like the way you think, but who is going to be willing to give up a 3rd unless it's to take one of those WRs off the board.

Lol well you can ask what position they are trading up for or ask offense or defense at least. Maybe it's for Penix or another QB or something. Lots of good OT in this draft too

[gonzo1105]

If I was allowed to trade down with Minnesota in the mock I would have taken Legette at 27 just to spite this board. Yes I’m petty like that lol. 

[GunnerBill]

Give me Legette. The 4th best receiver in this class on tape.

I’m not saying one way or another what I want to happen. I’m simply stating that a week ago I wasn’t sure they would go with WR at all in the first 3 rounds. Now I think they absolutely do in rd 1 

[section122]

With it getting closer ill leave the options until 8 and pare it from there.

Any idea how much longer we’re going to keep it going? Wait another hour and bring it down to the top 3 choices maybe?

Why did Mitchell leave Georgia to go to Texas?

 

He has a daughter and she was living in Texas.

I want Mitchell in the draft, but I love Ladd McConkey.  I've watched Bowers, Burton, McConkey, Mitchell, and  Rosemy-Jacksaint in person many times.  Mitchell and McConkey are simply game breakers.  Ladd can turn a dump off into a 60 yard TD run.  Mitchell has the ability to beat CB's deep, but also the ability to get separation in the end zone.  Either guy would make the Bills better immediately.  I also love the idea of Jacksaint as a 7th round flyer.  The kid isn't the fastest, but he has excellent hands, run very good routes and has a knack for making important catches.  

 

With Kincaid, we don't need Bowers, but he is the most dynamic TE I've ever seen in college.

The knock on AD Mitchell is his body language and effort when the ball isn't going his way.

Call me crazy, but the LAST thing I want after trading Stefon Diggs away is a guy whose default mode when not getting the ball is "phoning it in".

Combine that with his failure to ever crack 1,000 yards in a season or truly dominate as a college receiver, and I couldn't in all good conscience vote for him.

For what it's worth, if this exact scenario presented itself to Buffalo come draft night, I think they'd draft Kool-Aid McKinstry. That's not who I voted for, because that's not what I would do. But I believe it's what Beane would do if this is how the draft played out.

 

I think there's a chance of that too. They would probably see it as drafting another Tre White.

I’m really happy with Mitchell or Legette

[Virgil]

@section122I think it can be dropped to the top two now.  And we can leave it open until 9a tomorrow.   It’s gotten closer than I thought.  But great options for not having to trade up.

Better YPC and more TDs. So yes. I felt he played better.

Won’t happen in real life and it doesn’t help that every Bills fan wants a WR and every team is drafted by Bills fans 

[mrags]

I hate that Legette is up there that high. I’d literally pick him last of the bunch. Hate that he’ll be the last 2. Worthy because of his speed or Franklin because of his body of work is better option imo.

That's typical #2 WR stuff like Gabe. He was never the #1 guy on any team. Worthy was WR1

[NeverOutNick]

AD or Franklin are both fine with me. But I agree with others that I hope we double in the second rd as well

[DCOrange]

In order:

1. Troy Franklin
2. Ladd McConkey
3. AD Mitchell
4. Xavier Legette
5. Xavier Worthy

But I probably only consider the first two at 28.

You have clearly never watched the kid play in person. What does 1000 yards have to do with drafting a college WR? Diggs never approached 1000 yards in college.  

 

Mitchell's freshman year at UGA the WR/TE room had Mitchell, Pickens (Pitt 2nd rd), McConkey, Bowers, Burton, Darnell Washington (3rd rd Pitt), and Kearis Jackson (Ten).  The running backs included Cook (2nd rd Buf), McIntosh (7th rd Sea), and Zamir White (4th rd LVR).  Burton, Bowers, Mitchell and McConkey will all go in the top 3 rounds in 2024.  That's a huge amount of talent and Mitchell was 4th in receptions and yards.  

 

His second year he was hurt most of the year and worked his butt off to be ready for the end of the season and the CFP games.  He caught a TD in all 5 CFP games he played in his career.

 

The kid left UGA to be closer to home and his daughter.  

 

There is nothing wrong with the kids attitude or work ethic and his talent is off the charts.

Your not wrong but I will say in the few posts you have made you have an extreme bias towards players from Georgia or former players at Georgia. Just something I have noticed. Nothing wrong with fandom of course but I can't take it objectively when you speak on players from Georgia.
