    Re: Move Up .... Move Down or Stand Pat

    Beane is just about 100% guaranteed to move up in either the first or second, all of these 'extra' picks are burning a whole in his pocket as we speak.

      I'd wager he does as well.

        Von Miller suggests Bills GM Brandon Beane wants to trade up to draft a wide receiver - NBC Sports

        Miller posted a video that he captioned, “Brandon Beane arriving to the 2024 NFL draft to trade up for a WR. In Beane we TRUST.”
        Does Miller actually have any inside information about Beane’s plans? If he does, posting that on social media would be an odd choice. But Beane’s own comments make clear that he is open to including Miller in the Bills’ pre-draft process.

          A small move up to get a guy they like wouldn't bother me. A move up to the top 10 where they give up next years first would.

            Somebody tell Woodman to just trust the process. And stop spamming the forum with silly threads.

                I do not think there is any doubt that he planned it this way with the deals last year for late draft picks this year.

                He knew (as did the whole NFL world) that the 2024 crop of WR's was deep with the top quality extending well past just three.

                2023 had only four WR chosen in the first round. After those four were gone, the best pass catcher left was TE Kincaid.

                This year is completely different. For example, in Scout's Inc. 2023 prospect rankings, the highest overall rank for WR's was #17, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (he went #20 overall).

                They had only four WR ranked in the top 32, and those were the only WR drafted in the 1st round, very close to their ranking.

                Jaxon Smith-Njigba ranked #17, drafted #20
                Zay Flowers ranked #22, drafted #22
                Jordan Addison ranked #26, drafted #23
                Quentin Johnston ranked #21, drafted #29

                For comparison sake, Scout's Inc had Dalton Kincaid ranked #14 overall. Little wonder the Bills moved up to #25 to get him.

                2024 is a LOT different...with SEVEN WR's ranked in the top 32, with one more ranked #34...

                Marvin Harrison - ranked #2 overall.
                Malik Nabers - #4
                Rome Odunze - #8
                Adonai Mitchell - #23
                Brain Thomas - #24
                Xavier Lagette - #28
                Ladd McConkey - #31

                Four more are ranked in the top 64..

                Xavier Worthy - #34
                Keon Coleman - #36
                Ricky Pearsall - #44
                Troy Franklin - #52

                This sure looks like the year (and Beane's plan) to get into position to draft at least one, maybe two, quality highly ranked WR's.

                I suspect that exactly how the draft unfolds and the cost, (as it relates to their value on the Bills draft board) will determine just how much of a jump up he does.

                I expect Beane to go after the WR he has his eye on. The chances that he will move up to get him is probably 80%.

                  If he stays at 28 it would be a huge shock.

                    Stay at 28, keep drafting as many players as possible.

                        This, there are too many quality players in this draft and the Bills need to fill some backup and eventual starters.

                            There are plenty of opportunities to "move up" that does not involve the 1st round.

                            I think it's a 60/40 chance Beane moves up from #28, most likely a few spots to get the WR they have pegged IF they believe that another team will get him.

                            There will be other opportunities to move up in round #2 from #60 and back into round #3.

                            The thought that Beane should stay put at #28, without any knowledge of what that even means is rather short sighted.
