davefan66 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 14 minutes ago, Warcodered said: Feels like they had a pretty good idea who those teams were picking. Exactly. Either they really don’t care to take WR this early, or he believed the WR he covets would drop. Pick 33 should garner quite a bit of trade offers. Maybe Beane trades down again? If not, I believe he takes DeJean. BPA and fills a need.
stlbills13 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 DeJean would be awesome. He really would. I'd rather get the WR here and then see if DeJean falls another 5 or 6 spots and then get aggressive with a trade up. Would much rather miss out on the safety/CB than the WR run.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 26 Posted April 26 3 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: Yeah, there are several that would at least compete to start year 1. And if they wanted to lean on the Vets more and let one of them learn they at least bring much needed depth as we have no one behind those 2 that would be good options if one went down. I feel like between rapp and edwards - they should already be considered depth. Bringing in a Simmons or Jackson is an immediate upgrade. Hell, i feel like Hyde is better than both of them. 1 1
HeHateMe Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Get AD Mitchell. He can do things none of our current guys can. Great hands + elite vs press man which we see every year in the playoffs. 1
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I'm ready to be booed: Take Cooper DeJean at 33. Our safety group, while less important than our WRs, is in terrible shape. DeJean would almost for sure start immediately and in a pinch could be kicked back outside to replace Douglas in a year. I WANT WR more, but with the assets in play I am considerably more confident that Beane can move up to the top of the 2nd and get someone I would have been fine with us taking at 28 (Franklin, McConkey and AD Mitchell all qualify for me)
SCBills Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Just now, BullBuchanan said: I'm looking to trade down if we get a rich offer and package some of our day 3 picks to get a top 120 pick. I'm also hoping for another trade down from 33, as this pick is usually very coveted. However, Beane said last night that he had offers to move down into the 40's/50's, but thought it was too far back.. so that kind of limits our trade partners. Would love to move back a few spots again and pick up another 4th if possible.. then jump back into RD3 later and get 4 guys tonight. 3

Fill a huge need. I don’t expect DeJean to be available past 34. If we don’t take him, someone will trade up to 34 and grab him for sure.

DCOrange Posted April 26 Posted April 26 14 minutes ago, Roundybout said: I didn’t realize that Joe Brady recruited him out of high school. That would make me feel a little better He did, but other WRs LSU offered that same year: Xavier Worthy Marvin Harrison Jr. Brian Thomas Jr. (committed) Malik Nabers (committed) AD Mitchell as well as like 20 other WRs that didn't come to LSU. I know Joe Brady was the lead recruiter for Franklin, which isn't necessarily the case for all of these guys, but as the OC, it wouldn't be surprising if he was the lead for all of them and we obviously did not make a move for Harrison, Thomas, or Nabers, and opted to let KC have Worthy. 1
Solomon Grundy Posted April 26 Posted April 26 1 hour ago, Back2Buff said: If I'm the Bills, I'm calling Carolina again. They dont have a second round pick next year. Trade 60, our second next year for 39 this year. At 33 and 39, you could double on WR or take DeJean and probably end up with one of Mitchell, McConkey or Franklin. I like this idea. #33, I'd get Coleman first. At #39, I'd have my choice between Franklin or Mitchell. Say what y'all want about Coleman, he's a playmaker. Mitchell/Franklin can be my outside speed guy.

Say what y'all want about Coleman, he's a playmaker. Mitchell/Franklin can be my outside speed guy. Another option would be Washington. They have 2 seconds, and 3 thirds. They may not mind dropping back to 60 from 36 or 40, to get a pick for next year. They then could move back up from 60 by using one of their 3rds. Every year there seems to be a massive run on WR in the 30s-50s. I don't think we can wait till 60 to take one. 1
UKBillFan Posted April 26 Posted April 26 25 minutes ago, Low Positive said: You could put a prime Ronnie Lott on the Bills and he would make less difference than a solid #2 WR. Remember, we not only lost Diggs. We also lost Gabe Davis. Beane created a huge hole and now he has to fill it. Samuel is the Davis replacement. That was planned from the off. The Bills receivers by the end of last year were Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Sherfield and Harty. We're currently looking at Samuel, Hollins, Shakir, Shorter and Isabella(?) Add Diggs to that and Isabella would come off the list. Add Franklin and McConkey and so would Shorter. Suddenly the Bills would be in a much better position. If they can draft one of Franklin or McConkey, and add a veteran (Aiyuk/Sutton) to the mix, then they're in decent shape. But I don't think there is anything Beane could have done differently up to now once the decision was made to move Diggs on.

That would be a master class in drafting. How exactly is that going to happen?

Where oh where will Beane ever find that. 2
Blank Stare Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) I’m good with AD Mitchell if Beane is. Though doesn’t seem like a process guy from the rumors. Warming back up to the Troy Franklin idea. I think he’s super explosive and just had a poor combine. Great height and speed. Little light, but that doesn’t mean he can’t play. Bunch of people wanted Worthy and he’s tiny. If we can somehow come out of this with DeJean and Franklin, that would be incredible. Edited April 26 by Blank Stare
