DJ Johnson was a much higher reach and a surprise pick. This was far from that like insanely far. Trying to compare the two is just nonsense… flipping a 5th for a 6th to move into the 1st (yes that changes cap structure) is really no big deal.

59 spots late into the 5th round. Try to paint it as negatively as you want it’s really nothing that serious. 5th and 6th rounders are usually depth/special team players. It wasn’t a panic as much as a cap structure decision. Buffalo wouldn’t have traded it away if they were set on drafting XL.

Look XL wasn't my top choice but it was clearly the guy our staff wanted. The trade it a lot of nothing for contract structure and assurance. People on here will find a reason to be upset about any little thing.

It was a 5th for a 6th to get the player we wanted. If it was one you wanted you would care less.

He knows...

lol what a complete pivot? You were mad other teams knew our board. I'm saying it changed nothing. You are clearly wanting to be upset about something here...

Don’t think we need to double dip at CB. LB, Edge, C, TE are still needs

Yeah it really messed us up getting the guy we were trying to get the whole time…

Yeah the trade was a big nothing. Mostly to do with cap implications. I preferred AD and he was there but I’m not losing sleep over XL. He wasn’t some crazy reach where we got him and this staff seems to be sold on him. They got the guy they wanted on a contract they wanted by switching a 5th for a 6th. No big deal…

Rattler in the 3rd or later could be interesting for them. He has the arm talent and possible Raider attitude to go with it. Still needs a lot of work though…

DJ for Chark instantly makes it better. Mingo in year 2 should be better than rookie Mingo, XL adds some physical explosiveness that was missing. Also the improved OGs should help them have a little more time to get to their spots. On paper it looks better but we will have to wait and see on the field.

Cooper has been attached to them a lot lately.

At the end of the day they got their guy on a contract they wanted. I guess all is well that ends well.

AD runs routes and gets separation.

It was for the 5th year option. The trade is no big deal the player wouldn’t have been my choice.

AD was there.

I wanted AD. Ladd is a slot in the NFL

6 QBs means good talent will be there at 33

Teams are QB desperate I think he goes in the 1st. We will find out soon enough!

JJ isn't making it out of the first. Penix or Nix would be out best bet for a trade down from 33.

CJ didn’t come from much. Football was his ticket and probably his escape. I loved his backstory before the draft from his humble beginnings to one of the top QBs in the draft. He does a good job of balancing humility with confidence IMO.

I think simple exercises like this “back to basics” will help with his fundamentals. It’s boring but probably needed for Young and this offense in general.

Little play action pass training. I’m god with it. Was that DJ with the drop on the first one?

If the WR is undersized he is Steve Smith 2.0.
