Bear Hands

Ugh

Fixed so people can see this without clicking the link - worth 30ish seconds to watch IMO

Pretty much. We had back to back picks in R5 anyways so swapping 141 for 200 ain't no thang. Those are all dart throws at the back of the draft.

With some fresh perspective this morning - he's got mad untapped potential, seems to really love the game, and our new HC's best success was as a WRs' coach. So the conditions are a lot more optimal to develop guys compared to past teams of ours. If they like him this much, let's see what they can cook up. Maybe we can finally hit.

It's been mentioned WR4-15 this year is all over the place team to team. The Bills may feel comfortable with the ones they're targeting...or have something else in mind. Beane is usually very pointed and deliberate with his draft moves so we'll see what happens tonight.

I was fairly vocal with my concerns around him so it won’t be popular right now. All we can do now is hope we’re proved wrong and balls out - after the pick on the AFS, Brugler mentioned he knew teams that had him as a third round guy. He’s just limited right now with his upper body movement and ability to play outside against zone. If we’re in the redzone we can probably get him out there for jumps. Now that being said, I hope he kills it now that he’s here but he’ll ease in with sweeps, motion, shallow crossers..he’s just not a plug in outside receiver. Although to be fair, I don’t think that option was available if the team isn’t high on AD.

Yeah I forgot which pod, but someone was saying that about this year. #20-45ish have similar grades for a lot of teams, so if a team is really coveting a guy, it makes sense to go get him since the capital isn't requiring to jump a tier. And with no QBs there, it wasn't much at all. I.E. - the other trades in the 20s before ours.

That's fine and dandy. Just don't peel into your "buddy, settle down" shtick when someone is well and settled. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

If you've read my posts you should understand I take a pretty even keel approach and have been warming myself up to Legette. Pick the hyperbolizing "you're freaking out" argument with someone else or get lost. Really shouldn't bother anyone if I don't like the pick. I can be wrong and it's just football anyways, I don't mind admitting it.

Yeah we had a preference. No big deal, I'll root for him--like I told you, I expected it, and have tried to warm up to it. I'm just miffed at how obvious we made it. This trend continues under a third regime for Tepper.

lol

Agree that the trade is no big deal and the kid has potential. It's just mad aggravating we couldn't keep this tight lipped yet again. Everyone and their mom knew we were getting this kid.

This FO still can't control themselves. Honestly, just stupid. 2 of AD, Ladd, and Legette were going to be there for us. Maybe all 3. Yay if he works out but we are still having mad tunnelvision, remain poor bluffers, and still can't just go BPA. - edit - looking back a bit reactive here, hoping for the best

So we in fact showed our bluff and gave up capital to make sure we got the guy we telegraphed we wanted for weeks. Can't immediately play outside, huge gamble here. Honestly hate it

WE'RE ON THE CLOCK

Best zone beater and hands in the draft. And just as good of a route runner as McConkey

5 Picks left...8 notable available: (1) IDL: Johnny Newton (3) CBs: Kool-Aid, DeJean and Wiggins (2) IOLs: Powers Johnson and Frazier (2) McConkey & AD Mitchell hmm.

Unlocked now that pre shows are starting up. Draft chatter in here

Thanks dude - sending our best

Yeah I think we’re getting Legette Frazier has been fave at 33.

I would say there’s one scenario and it’s if BT Jr falls to the mid 20s. I’d see if we could jump a few spots with some mid round package deal. Nothing crazy but he could warrant one if he’s in striking distance.

If the top-4 stays put, I have a hard time seeing LAC staying put. They become the team NYG and MIN are calling…could see NYG & LAC swapping to assure JJ in NY. The MIN is out of luck/ends up with Penix v Nix.

Juan had a thread on it that I edited — should be just a page or so back
