Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Round 1 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Funny to think that the Bills have now given the Chiefs both Worthy and Mahomes! 

[Bookie Man]

Not gonna lie, I was hoping to trade back and score a 3rd round pick. Didn't think it would go down this way though. 

[Success]

First KC comments I read were along the lines of "Worthy would have been there at 32 - would rather have taken Mitchell."

 

Might be a chess move by Beane.  Won't know for some time.

 

[SoonerBillsFan]

Really ******* stupid move.

I’m disgusted. I don’t hate trading down. I hate giving the team that you can’t beat, the player that you couldnt allow them to have. Worthy in the Chiefs offense is going to be a nightmare.

Please.  People need to stop with the Worthy comparisons to Hill.  Hill has 20 pounds on Worthy.

No thanks.

Un-*****-believable.

We just handed the Chiefs THAT player?! 

We just handed the Chiefs the fastest player in combine history instead of taking him ourselves?

We just facilitated a Chiefs WR corps of Hollywood, Worthy, Rice? 

Perfect. Just perfect. 

But we hadddd to have that 3rd round pick, right?

Ridiculous. We're going to regret this. Why on EARTH would we help the Chiefs?

I just....Goddamnit. *****. *****.

Expand  

I mean…they may end up being wrong but they only did that because they didn’t like worthy and thought he wouldn’t help the chiefs much to be fair lol

At our own biggest need nonetheless and a spot you expect them to scout and scheme very well… 

 

if this move haunts us in a few months it could cost jobs 

Expand  

It should cost both McD & Bean their jobs if this comes back and bites the Bills in the butt.  As others have noted they must not have liked Worthy and KC loved him. Now to be fair the Chiefs have not exactly been great at drafting WR's the last few seasons.

 

 

[JaCrispy]

Beane should keep trading down until we have five 3rd round picks! 😉

I dont know why but I just cant stop laughing.

you have a sick sense of humor.

[alg]

Love it. Worthy has questionable hands, and doesn't play as fast as you think.

 

Beane doesn't make that trade if he wanted Worthy. And I am glad.

By the way the trade value matches up exactly perfect by the Rich Hill chart:

227 points for both sides.

Expand  

 

It's solid trade value and the Bills clearly didn't want Worthy.  I just don't understand why you give him to KC.

Feels like we panicked when Brian Thomas got picked by Jacksonville and we didn’t like any option at 28 so we took literally whatever we could get 

Expand  

 

I seriously doubt they were expecting BTJ to drop much further.

 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

I said this when we made the trade with the chiefs and drafted mahomes

 

If Andy Reid wants him, we need to be taking him instead

I didn't want Worthy anyway

I guess... Based off this move. 

 

I will pray my GD soul away for the next ten years that this was the right decision...

Here’s my issue, it doesn’t matter if we didn’t want Worthy. You don’t give Mahomes a speed receiver. It’s ok that Beane didn’t want Worthy, but there’s no way you take the risk of giving any help to Mahomes. Maybe the Chiefs draft Worthy at 32, but why be directly responsible for potentially watching Worthy catch deep passes against us in the playoffs? I just don’t get it. 

Expand  

Our responsibility isn’t what KC does. We won’t draft players we don’t want so another team doesn’t.
