Probably not worth it's own thread but I called it. New England was trying to get to 32, so the Bills did us a solid. Traded to us not division rivals. New England was targeting XL

It blows my mind how many people I see freaking out about the trade saying it was pointless to move up since we had the next pick anyway. Obviously our FO already knew or got wind of another team liking him and made the move (for basically nothing).

yea I totally agree. The trade is worth it alone for the financial considerations given what WRs make nowadays. Further if we left this draft without a WR we felt good about it would be an F

[ForJimmy]

of course they would pick us over their division rivals, but the Pats wanted one of the two that went 32 and 33.

Lets hope Canales can draw up some plays for Bryce to actually get him the ball...

If he has anything other 7 yrd curls in his playbook then you might see a better offense.

Maybe shoulda gone Keon

Gosh, loving some of these WRs haha.  Javon Baker was a riot in his opening presser.  

Kind of wish we double dipped in the 5th or 6th for a shifty/joystick type dude like Malik but oh well. : /

So we screwed the Pats out of XL and the Girls out of Brooks? I call that a good day's work.

I'd like to have him as well but honestly I don't think we'll have enough targets to go around for Malik. DJ, one is that joystick type and two his man problem was he wanted more targets let's feature him with Sanders and sprinkle in AT, XL, and Mingo with touches to Brooks we can't manufacture that many touches to add another young weapon would you say?

Same, but Coker has potential. Really thought he would get drafted.

I see all that and it makes sense. The thing I was hoping in getting as many pass catchers as possible was looking for that dream combo. But you got to have the targets to find out and it could take a couple seasons to get that groove going.
