To prevent from the bills trading to another team. 
 

also Legette is considered raw so having the 5th year option may be desirable.

He's already 23, was a 5th year Senior, and is raw. That should concern people. He will be 28 after his rookie deal and that makes signing a second contract difficult because the decline for WRs is pretty much a certainty past 30-31.

Maybe the Chiefs will trade us Kadarius Toney??? 😃😃

That’s such a lame point anymore.  Players hardly play under the fifth year option anymore.  Usually get extended before that 

And if they don’t sign an extension before the 5th, the team isn’t interested in doing it.

Very puzzling to give up the 5th year of player control for what?

I think the 5th option is more important for qbs as it gives significant savings in the option year. For other positions, the 5th year option price is often pretty high and not much of a savings at all.

The dream is still very much alive. Draft two of these WRs in R2, likely with a medium trade up from #60:

 

Coleman

Franklin

Mitchell

McConkey

Polk

 

BPA at #95, perhaps with a small trade up to get a true 3rd round graded player.

 

To me this would be acceptable but hardly a dream scenario. McConkey is the only sure thing of those five and he has a relatively low ceiling 

[Billznut]

Beane has already shown his hand of his plan for this years draft and that is to collect more picks and to upgrade the later round picks he already had. Having the #33 pick, which is traditionally always a very very sought after pick, as the first pick of round 2, I would be utterly amazed that his plan isn’t to trade back from #33 as well and continue adding picks.

This team needs so many starting players that they need quick solutions and they come in the later rounds!

I’m not mad about trading down but to trade with KC and not make them pay extra is beyond ridiculous! 

 

 

They paid pretty well, getting a 3rd back this year is big

Beane's pry thinking teams now have 18 hours to see if they want to trade with us.  Love having the first pick of the 2nd round.

Franklin is better than any WR that went after pick 9 imo

Umm, no. Beyond bad combine and I just don't see adequate separation. NFL CBs will jam him and push him around.

The only reason people are upset is they assume KC knows better. But their WR draft investments have been meh overall. Rice looks like a good pick but it turns out he's a massive idiot. Moore and Toney and Hardman were straight up bad draft investments.

 

If Worthy becomes a star this turns out to be an all time stupid move by Beane but let's wait and see how it turns out. And I say this as someone that would have been happy picking Worthy in the 1st, but his flaws are real and it's possible he doesn't ever come close to reaching his potential.

[Green Lightning]

Well, here's an idea. Let's trade down 3 or 4 more times and get every pick in the 5th round.

Mitchell is probably the only way to salvage this nightmare of a draft at this point. 

Holy ***** this is epic 

[Aurelius]

Truth be told, people get hung up on drafting the highest pick etc.  Having a low first rounder is ripe for trade downs and can get HUGE value to move up draft spots all over.  Frankly it has more trade value than trading talented roster guys.  We didn’t give up anybody thus far that we wanted (and was available to us), which I think is the overall point.  
 

I think we did great by trading down and thought it was likely.

Maybe we can trade #33 to KC for a box of crackers.

IDK They got Worthy, we are already toast
