Dr. Who Posted April 17 Posted April 17 7 hours ago, Brandon said: I'm leaning more and more to the idea that, if the Bills keep pick 28, it will be McConkey. Just in terms of pre-draft visits the last few years, they seem to have a significant preference for these types of speed/quickness/route-running types early and less apparent concern for height/weight. Ignoring the top 3 that they have no shot at, McConkey seems like the best overall of that sub-group, IMO, and I think I've about settled on him as WR 5 in this draft. If they can add both him and Legette, I'd definitely be happy. I'm just not sure how. I think we're more likely looking at McConkey OR Legette at 28 and maybe whatever is left at 60 or one of the better mid-round prospects in a trade into R3. You're definitely trading up from #60 if you want Legette. It will cost you a 2025 2nd, probably. Maybe Polk is there if you wait. #60 is not a great spot in the draft. 2 3 Quote

It seems like it'll be kind of a dead spot in this draft for matching the Bills needs with value. Edited April 17 by Brandon 1 Quote

HappyDays Posted April 18 Author Posted April 18 Quote In the month of April, there has been a lot of buzz about the Las Vegas Raiders targeting Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the 2024 NFL Draft. With new general manager Tom Telesco and head coach Antonio Pierce taking over, Las Vegas could start its re-build with a new franchise quarterback after a disastrous run by former head coach Josh McDaniels. Multiple team sources told WalterFootball.com that Penix is definitely in the running to be taken by the Raiders early in the 2024 NFL Draft. Sources said Penix could be in play for Las Vegas with its first-round pick, No. 13 overall. However, the Raiders could also take a non-quarterback in the first round and look to move up from their second-round pick for Penix. Las Vegas has needs at cornerback and offensive tackle, so the franchise could look to select a player at one of those positions and then move back up for Penix. The Raiders like a lot of the offensive linemen who could be available at No. 13. That group includes Alabama right tackle J.C. Latham, Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu, Oregon State right tackle Taliese Fuaga and Washington offensive tackle Troy Fautanu. Las Vegas also really likes Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. Right now, it sounds as if the more likely plan is to acquire Penix rather than taking Mitchell or one of those tackles at with the 13th choice of the 2024 NFL Draft. 2 Quote
section122 Posted April 19 Posted April 19 14 hours ago, HappyDays said: I've seen a couple of times that Penix is a guy who will likely go in the first round after the first 4 guys are off the board. Seahawks were mentioned along with the Raiders and Vikings (if they can't trade up). Quote

Back2Buff Posted April 19 Posted April 19 I feel like the overall draft hype is lessened this year. I feel like it's just way too late. Do it before the NHL and NBA playoffs start. There is no need for these extra 2 weeks. I was ready for this draft in the beginning of April, at this point, I don't even care anymore. I'm sick of hearing these prospects names. 3 Quote

I really don't expect them to trade up from 60 to do it. They’ll only drop back into the second if there are a few guys they’d be more or less equally happy with. If Beane really likes Leggette, he’ll take him at 28…he won’t risk losing him to KC or some other team. That’s not the way he operates. Quote
GunnerBill Posted April 19 Posted April 19 23 hours ago, HappyDays said: Yea I can absolutely see that. Makes much more sense to me than Darnell Wright being a top 10 pick last year. Quote
gonzo1105 Posted April 19 Posted April 19 For as sure as the Top 7 looks like it’s going to be with at least the players in mind, 8-32 is an absolute minefield trying to figure out which team is going to go where. 1 Quote

Yea top 7 is between 8 players 4 QBs, 3 WRs and Joe Alt. Exactly how it falls may be tbc because of trades. But they will be the top 7 will be made up of seven of those 8 guys. Quote

HappyDays Posted April 19 Author Posted April 19 Quote ESPN draft expert @Jordan_Reid thinks the Commanders will trade into the first round to draft an offensive tackle: "I think this is the worst kept secret in the draft right now -- is the Commanders trading up from 36 or 40 to get an offensive tackle. It just makes so much sense for them to trade up and take advantage of this deep OL class. I just don't see Adam Peters having so many picks and just waiting to 36 or 40 for one of those guys to fall to him." 3 1 Quote

If Beane really likes Leggette, he’ll take him at 28…he won’t risk losing him to KC or some other team. That’s not the way he operates. My assumption is that Brian Thomas Jr. and Adonai Mitchell comprise a second tier of receivers after Harrison, Odunze and Nabers. The concern over Adonai Mitchell allegedly having Type 1 diabetes puts a bit of a question mark on that ranking. Who knows how teams will treat that. Anyway, McConkey, Worthy, Legette and possibly Franklin and Coleman comprise a third tier. It's possible Beane values Legette high enough to take him at 28. He is very cognizant of value regardless of draft position though. He might reach a little bit for a player he really likes at a position of need, but I don't think he'll reach too far. Quote

I think that is a minority view, but everything is opinion at this point and you're just as entitled to yours as is everybody else. Quote
