Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2942124, member: 1674"] Beane and McD had been downplaying the importance of having a go-to WR and now their cards have been shown; they absolutely do want to bring in a #1 guy. Does their pursuit of AB mean that they do not view guys like Metcalf as a potential #1 guy? Does it mean that they simply didn’t want to rely on hoping he’s available at #9? Does this mean they’ll sign someone out of desperation in free agency to a contract that we ultimately end up regretting? My personal views/hopes: [LIST] [*]I like DK Metcalf a lot; I have him rated around the #7 or #8 prospect in the draft. Having said that, I’m also very high on guys like Deebo Samuel and also Day 3 picks such as Stanley Morgan and Tyre Brady. I’d be fine with DK being the pick at #9, but I’d also completely understand if they go in another direction and address the WR position on Day 2 and Day 3. [*]Also regarding DK Metcalf, I think Buffalo likely will need to trade up if they do want him at this point. I imagine teams will feel that’s where Buffalo turns to after missing on AB, and if that’s the case, they’ll know they need to jump in front of Buffalo to get him. [*]I’m not interested in getting into a bidding war for any of these FA WRs. I’d much rather let everyone go crazy, let things settle down, and then come in at the end and scoop up a couple WRs on the cheap. Guys like Jermaine Kearse, Phillip Dorsett, JJ Nelson, ArDarius Stewart, and whichever of Randall Cobb/Cole Beasley/Jamison Crowder end up getting hung out to dry are the kinds of guys I’d be looking at if I were in Buffalo’s shoes. I’d much rather sign these guys to cheap deals than to invest $50 million in Tyrell Williams for example. If Buffalo can sign one of the "premier" options to a short-term or relatively non-guaranteed deal, that’s fine with me, but I’m not sure what the likelihood is of that. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
