I want to believe this, but the fact we got a 4th for Edmunds instead of a 3rd means we will probably get a bag of peanuts for them.

 

 

The Patriots will be awarded five 3rd round picks for their trouble, as is tradition.

Because you made this disrespectful statement towards the shield and Goddell, the Patriots have been awarded 4 3rd Rd picks and one of buffalos 2nd Rd picks.

haha yeah, ill def hold my breath on this!!!  tonight my old coworker  will probably knock on my door with the $50 he owes from that bag of blow we split the night of McGregor vs Nate Diaz 2 as well.  Any minute now!!!

The Davis pick is definitely a 5th. The Floyd one should be. But could slide into the 6th. Fingers crossed they are both in round 5.

I would believe it. Initially, it was supposed to be a 4th and a 5th for them. A 4th for Davis and a 5th for Floyd. My guess is it dropped to a 5th bc Davis ended up being lost for the season in Week 11. 

 

The Edmunds pick dropped from a 3rd to a 4th last year bc they changed the rules of the compensatory formula on a dime to take into account void year money and carefully written contracts that skirted comp pick cancellations. That in conjunction with Edmunds missing a couple games made the pick come in less than expected.

 

This years projections took the new rules into account when they were made. We're already getting less than expected bc of Davis' injury with 2 5th's instead of the initial projection of a 4 and a 5. I really don't see us getting less than that or them changing the rules to be more strict on a dime once again. It was too much of a headache for the league last season dealing with all the appeals. And generally when they make an unpopular change that makes things more difficult on teams one year, they take it easier the following year (ie Cap figures coming under unexpected one year are made up for the next).

 

Currently, our expected picks are as follows:

 

Round 1

Round 2

Round 2 (from Minnesota Vikings for Stefon Diggs and our 2025 5th Round Pick)

Round 4 

Round 4 (from Chicago Bears for a 2024 5th Round Pick)

Round 5 (Compensatory for Gabe Davis)

Round 5 (Compensatory for Leonard Floyd)

Round 6

Round 6 (from New York Giants for Boogie Basham and our 2025 7th Round Pick)

Round 6 (from Cleveland Browns with Amari Cooper for our 2025 3rd Round Pick)

 So two 7th round picks.

Good, we draft really well at the back of the draft.

[Aussie Joe]

Was previously reported by some as supposedly a 4th and a 5th , so already going backwards

Due to Davis missing a significant amount of time this year injured, nothing we can do about that.

the way this is trending, by March it’ll be two 2nd rounders for Kansas City or something.

I messaged with Nick Korte, the guy behind Over The Caps formula around the time Dodson was released and Davis went out with a season ending shoulder. 
 

Askee him how it would affect our comp picks. Said Dodson has no affect while Davis being out would likely drop him a round from 4 to 5. 
 

Davis was already on the borderline and his injury pushed him into the 5th round threshold. I expect both 5s to stand

It's because Gabe Davis went out for the year and only ended up playing 10 games for Jacksonville. I knew it was coming when he tore his ACL.

Did someone say comp picks?

Beane will eventually have a draft consisting of 32 5th round picks and that's all.

The NFL will probably take away picks instead.

The draft is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. I’m already dozens of mock drafts in 😂😂. With 5 picks in rounds 4 and 5, it’s realistic to flip that into a 3rd & 2 4ths. The Bills SHOULD be able to pick 6 times in the first 135 picks. They’d still have more picks but it’s realistic to expect 6+ guys that’ll actually play (plus the 6ths). They have a chance to get a high end WR, fix the DL while adding depth there, add secondary depth and just select some guys that slip. It’s a GREAT opportunity to raise the talent level of a team that, despite winning A LOT of football games, still only had 2 pro bowlers.

It's actually 4. I've amended the original post as I forgot that the deal for Diggs was their 2nd in exchange for Diggs and our 5th.

Between the existing roster (not pegged to lose too many key free agents), free agency and the draft, I truly think that Beane can make this roster even stronger heading into the 2025 season.  Which is kind of scary for the rest of the league.
