Buddy Hix Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Trading with KC, a team that is better and smarter than OBD in every sense, makes me angry. Like, you know they outclass you on the field and off, avoid helping them at all costs. Whatever, let's run the ball and pretend it's 1990, and continue wasting a unicorn QB. 3 1 2 1

This type of emotional response shows why being a fan clouds your judgement. Luckily, Beane is not a fan of the Bills. He is a professional who can look past petty rivalries and focus on what is good for the Bills and what is not. 2 1 2

Brandon Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) I don't like the idea of trading down with KC, but KC was probably going to end up with Worthy anyway. Otherwise, yeah, I'm happy with it, on the assumption that Beane still gets the player he wants and that they come out of R2 with a quality WR prospect. I'm also very happy that they didn't throw a pile of premium draft picks at a trade up into the top 10. Edited April 26 by Brandon

There is no “wait and see” option for a reason. I personally like what Beane did and I’m interested to see how others feel. Sorry undecided, poll me again in January 2025! 4 minutes ago, MJS said: This type of emotional response shows why being a fan clouds your judgement. Luckily, Beane is not a fan of the Bills.

Nothing but the best in NFL commentary on TBD, like being back in grade school, good post!
KingBoots8 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Personally I am fine with the trade backs. Not in love with KC being the benefactor, but consider: a. He likely would have fallen to them at 32 unless someone jumped them b. We didn’t have a high enough grade on a little WR to take him ourselves c. Less picks for KC isn’t a bad thing d. We now have 3 picks today Anyone whining about “ThE fIfTh YeAr OpTiOn” should realize if you draft someone who is good enough for a second contract you are paying them before year 4 starts. If they aren’t good enough you will let them walk (Gabe Davis). By doing what we did we position ourselves at 33 to either have whomever we covet still or we make more trades to the right buyer. We have more needs than just WR and getting that third and fifth are going to position us to get more impact players in a draft where the talent is going to dry up quickly after the 4th round. There are still at least 3 WR’s I have good grades on waiting for us today
NoSaint Posted April 26 Posted April 26 7 minutes ago, KellyToTasker said: This. Having a history of “giving” Mahomes to KC, unable to beat them in the playoffs, makes KC a team you just don’t do business with. Doesn’t matter what draft grades you have, who you think they’ll take, whatever. You just don’t do it. Reid will scheme a Worthy special in the playoffs and we’ll hear it over and over. it would be catastrophic for the teams psyche if it happens imagine if we get dejean and he dials it up on him!

BuffaloRebound Posted April 26 Posted April 26 If nothing else, Beane got a giant pair of brass ones.
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I am in a wait and see mode right now. But the optics look like crap trading to Kc and passing on Legette have now declared us losers of the first round. Most people outside Buffalo probably think our Wr are junk. We need to identify and hit on Playmakers.. not just good steady players..Worthy speed has the potential to be a Playmaker with Mahomes.. Legette looks like a beast. If all these guys are rated so closely why not take a chance on one of them? Figure it out on how to make something special work.. you have Josh freakin Allen I think my mind has shifted at least from using our first pick on a Wr. Draft Cooper and move back up for a Wr. I would be ok seeing how that plays out.

The Firebaugh Kid Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I’m still really hung over I’ll get back to you later.
BillMafia716ix Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) No problem with how Beane handled the 1st round. Everybody crying about the Chiefs trade for what? They obviously didn’t like Worthy or they would have taken him. If they grabbed somebody else the Chiefs still could’ve ended up with Worthy anyways. i think we learned last night that the Bills aren’t necessarily desperate for a WR like we thought they were. If that were the case, they would have traded up for BTJ or taken one last night. Hell I wouldn’t even be upset if they traded from 33 spot. I don’t expect them too though. Think they draft Cooper DeJean at 33 and draft a WR late second round. This draft is deep at WR Edited April 26 by BillMafia716ix
PoBills33 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I said yes bc I was not huge on either player drafted, but really on the fence. feel like Worthy was overvalued bc of his 40 time..but giving him to the chiefs made it a scary thought. I felt like Legette was going to be a good sleeper pick,but got overhyped into the first round and became overvalued at that point to me. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens today.
BuffaloBill Posted April 26 Posted April 26 1 hour ago, Bills Bud said: Josh is in the prime of his career, and he has no weapons. What Beane did was unacceptable. So Dalton Kincaid is dog food? If the Bills also pick up at least 1 WR in a deep class will Josh still have no weapons?

ToGoGo Posted April 26 Posted April 26 The MUCH bigger problem last night was the Patriots getting Drake Maye. 1
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted April 26 Posted April 26 So many posters wanted him to trade back and he did..Twice. He might again...Early. And they wanted him to double or triple dip at WR because you can get a great receiver later. OK you got it now be quiet.
PauleeeWalnuts Posted April 26 Posted April 26 44 minutes ago, Gunvald's Husse said: Neither plain nor simple. It is clear that Beane did not consider Worthy to be to value pick at 28 so, unless you wanted the Bills to select Worthy just to stop the Chiefs getting him (a real "cut off your nose to spite your face" move), they were going to get him anyway, either by picking him at 32 for free or by trading up with the Cowboys or the Ravens to get ahead of the 49ers (a trade which would have gained nothing for the Bills and which would have cost less for the Chiefs) So, did you want them to draft Worthy just to deny him to the Chiefs? No, the Bills could make whatever pick they wanted at 28, you just don’t help KC get who they want through you. 1
