What a bizarre headline. They didn't "earn" anything and the draft pick is not "new."

 

Bills find out fate of additional second round pick might have been a better headline.

Beane knew that Darnold was a bum.

The Bills earned it by cheering for the Rams

That bum will probably get big bucks from a team like Pittsburgh

I remember when the Diggs trade was announced and we saw that the pick was for the pick that Houston acquired from Minnesota rather than Houston's own 2nd rounder I was happy, as I figured (based on what happened in 2023) that the original Vikings' pick could be in the top 10, whereas Houston's would possibly be in the 28-32 range. As the season wore on, it became obvious that the Vikings were much better than we thought, while Houston was lucky to be in arguably the worst division in the NFL.

 

Maybe the Bills would have been better off with Houston's own original 2nd rounder?

 

Ironically enough, Houston is still alive and well in the playoffs -- and with the Vikings one-and-done (thanks, Sam Darnold!) Beane made the right choice!

It’s 24th of the 2nd round from minnesota via Houston.  Better than the Houston 2nd round pick which is 25-33 based on when Houston playoffs end 

 

the draft orders 

19 -21 TB, DEN, PIT

22 LAC

23 GB

24 MIN

 

19-21 have same Strength of schedule so they will roll a dice to decide the order

 

aside— this is where comp picks should be decided where the teams thst end up 20 and 22 get some comp picks making up the difference

 

Undecided for 25-32

25-28 losers next weekend ( maintain order below)

29-30 champ game losers ( maintain order below) 

31 SB loser

32 SB winner

 

Houston 10

Rams 10

Washington 12

Baltimore 12

buffalo 13

philadelphia 14

KC 15

Detroit 15

And I think that is exactly where he goes if the Browns dont offer him more cause they take another RB 1st... lol  what would be funny is if the Jests made a play for him... I can only imagine this board... 🤣

I know there were some other factors in there but basically:

 

Pick 56 

 

For 

 

Diggs & the dead cap hit not to have him. 

 

I'm satisfied with that at the moment. We will see how it's spent for the final result.

He literally went from $40M per to about $7M. There is zero option for the tag and trade now.

if he was only a bum in the regular season this pick would have been in the late 30’s

[Doc]

Was hoping to see that version of Darnold at the start of the season...

[YattaOkasan]

Best case scenario given how their season went.  Crazy to go from playing for 1 seed to out of hte playoffs in 8 days

[Matt_In_NH]

I thought this pick would be way higher than it turned out to but them losing in the WC round was the best case scenario.  The Rams are a good team.

Brandon Beane could trade the pick for value merchandise and rewards
