I wouldn't say probably. His range seems to open up about 10 picks before that. Especially if Thomas is gone by 13 or 14. He's likely next up after that. I dislike Worthy who is the most likely available and is an awful fit with our current WRs.
Playing with the chart:
Yeah I was thinking 2 years max.
draft with the picks . Don’t trade them for 1 pick. Wide receiver is an overrated position. While not as fungible as RB, they aren’t as important as most believe. The QB makes the receiver more often than the receiver makes the QB. Bills have too many needs to take 3 picks and turn them into 1.
Don't agree whatsoever on pass catcher positional value. It's either 2 or 3 nowadays depending on your thoughts on edge rusher. Their needs aren't all that big. Need a dynamic, bigger body WR, a starting caliber safety and DL depth. They have 10 picks and have some cap space post 6/1. Not saying I'd be happy or its my preference to end up with 1 selection in the 1st 3 rounds by any means but if it's because those turned into Odunze/Nabers and Rasul then so be it.
Yeah all you need to do is follow the $ to see what positions groups are valued. Now does a pat mahomes/ Andy Reid offense need a true #1 probably not but at times they certainly looked like they did last year. I don’t see Beane getting crazy and trying to move up to top 10 but I’m sure they will move and shake to a certain extent
I was prepared for the KC example to be thrown back at me as why you don't need one except they do have an elite #1 pass catcher. Just happens he plays TE is the best of the last decade. When they need a play to be made, that's who he goes to and its been unstoppable for years. I'd guess this year was the last in which he's going to be at that level and he wasn't all that good most of the season and why they struggled but then he cranked it up in the post-season and now they have 3 rings.
following your logic (which is sound) , by receiver standards Kelce had a good but not great year . About 1000 yards and 5 TD. In modern day NFL that’s not elite. Draft best availables and then flip em for a positional need if it comes to it
He had a down year as acknowledged then averaged 8/90/.75 per game through the playoffs which is back to elite level. If we can find someone that gets us remotely near those numbers on a year long basis I'd gladly give up 28, 60 and that 2025 vikes pick. Hell I'd give up our 1st which may only be 10 picks earlier if we got a dude doing that in year 1.
I think Thomas would be worth a shot, he hasn’t played in 4 years really but dude has a huge chip on his shoulder and really don’t think he had any interesting in playing for the Saints since 2020. He’s the same age as Diggs, I’d sign him up for 1 year, draft a WR Zion first and go from there. Think BIlls will also draft a safety in first 2 picks
Me too. Take the shot on a guy that was elite last time he was healthy, albeit 4 years ago. Certainly no S in rd 1 unless they want to put Dejean there which I'm good with.
I'm feeling a lesser move up to get Thomas.
Samuel was primarily a RB at Ohio St. He's not a fully skilled WR that is going to be running a lot of routes as a primary option on the outside. He's more of a thicker, better version of McKenzie that can make RB type plays in space and make people miss.
Very nice. My only change would be in #2 and switch out Legette for Mitchell.
Didn't know that.
I don't really see the Aiyuk thing as a realistic option. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about the massive trade ups for the big 3 WRs. It's tempting as hell as we probably don't have any other positions we're really trying to get an immediate starter at and those three, particularly MHJ and Nabers, feel like they're as close to can't miss prospects as it generally gets. I generally hate the idea of trading up, especially trading up to target one of the few positions that has great depth in the draft, but those guys all look very special.
