If a couple of them make the roster than thats NFL minimum salary versus paying a veteran a couple of million. Simple economics of supply and demand. I can take whoever I want at this pick but if I don't then I have 31 other people in demand for me and I have to pay more than giving up a pick. Quote
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 27 Posted April 27 2 minutes ago, Logic said: I was hoping Beane would take some calculated risks. With a few notable exceptions -- Stefon Diggs, Von Miller -- he has always been steady Eddie. Mr "I don't want to sacrifice our ability to compete long term by going all-in for the present year". That's fine. My concern is that he'd rather be very good for the next 10 years than try to be elite for a two or three year stretch. I fear that "very good" will get us to the divisional round every year, but will rarely beat the Chiefs, because the Chiefs are elite. Sometimes I wish he'd sacrifice just a little bit out that steadfast long term thinking for a bigger splash now, yes. For instance, I thought Christian McCaffrey was worth trading our first rounder for. Many disagreed. Beane clearly disagreed. Instead, we kept it and used it on Kaiir Elam. That was the more prudent, "smart", long term thinking move to make. The only problem is that Kaiir Elam looks likely to be a bust, and Christian McCaffrey continues to be an elite offensive weapon and just helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl and nearly win it. The counter-point, clearly, is that the big swings he HAS taken -- Diggs and Miller -- didn't result in any titles for the Bills, and it was time to get younger and cheaper and re-tool the roster and go back to practical long term planning. Again, that's fine, but you'll have to forgive me if a two-year re-tooling in the name of practicality isn't my favorite thing to be looking at in the middle of Josh Allen's prime. Yep it's his biggest flaw: outside of Allen, name one ELITE player he's drafted. And for the love of God, don't answer Ed Oliver 1 Quote

The NFL is telling you day three picks have no value to anybody this year. So I'm thinking it just wasn't doable. Yea that is a fair challenge. Quote

MasterStrategist Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I really like Javon Solomon...different type of rusher who we can develop / be a situational pass rusher 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted April 27 Posted April 27 6 minutes ago, UKBillFan said: But if they want to replace Diggs surely it would be with a veteran rather than a draft player? I hope so. I said earlier in the thread there's no way our #2 outside WR is Hollins or Shorter. There has to be another plan, it's the only thing that makes sense. 3 Quote

Shakir in the slot. Kincaid as the wild card (and really our #2 target). Knox and Cook to supplement. 1 1 Quote
gonzo1105 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I expect this to be a Cornerback we def need the depth. Maybe some small school magic like my boy Willie Drew lol Quote
