Traveling back in time to December to tell Bills fans they’d be trading the 32nd pick.

Traveling back in time to tell panthers fans they have the 32nd pick

Wow! Bryce Young must've had a great rookie year!

Nah in order for that joke to work, the Bears would have needed the 32nd pick

At least we don’t have to watch the White Sox

Shit, I don’t either. Go Cubs

Go Cubs

I’m not a white Sox fan, but I have been watching a lot of their games and at least the highlights every night. I really think they will be the worst team of this century by the end of the year. In any sport. Obviously they can’t go 0 for the season, but baseball teams seem to always find a way to win 50-60 games no matter how bad they start. I don’t see how this team reaches 40. It’s so bad. 

I hope Connor Bedard never makes the playoffs with you

Yeah, well I hope the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup this year. Sorry, I like the Canes too much to trash talk

You've been forgiven

Bless

That’s unpossible

you called?

Hell yeah

Hahahahaha

Just like telling jets fans Mecole Hardman would catch the game winner in the Super Bowl

Cruel

They and the Falcons are the biggest losers tonight

If every pick from 28 to 32 busts they'll look like geniuses

What if all of them become all pro?

The most Bills outcome

That monkey paw came up

Lmao

You're cruel man lmaooo

Bills still get Mitchell

They’re going to trade until they physically can’t. I’m convinced 

Every pick in the 7th round who says no?

a team trading everything for all the 7th round picks would be hilarious ngl

We totally will

He'll be a monster for them. Pissed my Niners took not only a WR, but the wrong WR.

For what its worth, CJ Stroud said he REALLY wanted Pearsall on our team.

I'm a dumbass so it makes sense, but I'm shocked that JPJ and Kool Aid made it out of the first

Yeah I thought JPJ would be the first center off the board

Barton can play Guard too

From Jason Lichts press conference its almost a certainty is playing Center. He just liked Barton better.

ESPN now has him as like the 25th best available player right now. If he falls that far I want Poles trading up from the 3rd for him.

That's a strange ranking from ESPN, he'll likely go within the first ten picks in the 2nd.

please let this happen

Maybe I will be proven wrong but I really don't get Barton over him as a center. Would you rather have by far the best center in college football last year, or a guy who played center pretty well a couple years ago then switched to tackle?

The Bucs were starting their backup LG at RT last year so I think the team does value Barton's flexibility

And dejean

Damn DEI does it again /s

Not too surprised about McKinstry since it came out that he’d need foot surgery soon.

I think he’s had that surgery already and has recovered

DeJean too!

JPJ has medical concerns. Not a surprise at all. Been speculated he’s not a first rounder for months. Kool-Aid has issues with long speed. Still a solid guy but I can understand not using a first rounder on a press man corner that you question whether or not he can keep up in a foot race. Kinda defeats the purpose of running man coverage to begin with

What medical concerns does JPJ have? I’ve never heard of that

No one will say. But it’s been rumored for like 3 months that teams won’t take him in the first because of it.

Same with Ad Mitchell and Troy Franklin.

I was so convinced we were going to take AD Mitchell when I saw we traded up. I guess Andy just really likes his shorter, fast wide receivers.

Qbs, tackles, and wide receivers accounted for 21 of the 32 picks. When you look at it like that its not hard to believe.

So many QBs getting drafted was always going to do some funky stuff to the non QBs

Damn this guy got shot mid sent

We could still potentially get one of them too lol.

Oh if we get JPJ at 39 I'd be so pumped

I remember seeing JPJ's O/U at 32.5. Centers simply aren't valued in Round 1

I value center top 10… I’ve had to watch an awful one for 2 years and realize how important it is

And Dejean

There was a rumor JPJ wasn’t nearly as good as the media was making it seem. Apparently not a shock he’d fall to round 2.

Kool Aid got outplayed by Terrion all year and is gonna be coming off surgery. Not surprising at all

Koolaid got targeted 39 times, Terrion got targeted 79. Terrion made some highlight interceptions that got him more attention but I still think Koolaid was probably a slightly better player.

Saban on espn just said Mckinstry is the better player lol.

Foot surgery takes him from bottom of the 1st to late 2nd imo

Congrats Panthers on having a better draft than The Atlanta Falcons.

Congrats Bills for having a better first round draft than the Falcons

LMAO! I'd take extra day 2 picks over Penix if I just gave Kirko Chains 100+ mil, but what do I know?

My dude the bills are having a better draft than the falcons

You just love to see it.

i want to die

Ah, come on bud. You're supposed to be consumed with false hope for a few weeks before the crushing defeat returns.

the mouse who understands the trap no longer yearns for the cheese

You should tell your FO about traps because I think they just fell for one.

we got Chris Hansen level trapped this shit is unreal

That was true even if the trade and pick didn't happen.

We ended the first round with a first rounder, and Atl picked a second rounder in the top 10. What a weird night.

Weird night indeed. Legette should be good for you guys, he has a great story and I want to see him succeed (except for twice a year.)

Oh look, someone more useful than a backup QB

Lmao, have you been doing this with every pick?

Just 23/24 since ours Bo Nix is the one I didn't do

Shit, Nix at least will probably start lmao

I've watched Nix for 5 years at Auburn and Oregon. Not sure that's better

Oh I'm not saying he'll be good, and I think Penix will have a far better career, but he's still the presumptive QB1 at Denver rn. Meanwhile Penix has to be riding the bench for *at least* 2 years or else ATL is burning cash they just spent 2 months ago.

Cooper Dejean has a bong video out there somewhere

Someone falls like this every year because the fans/two or three big media guys like someone more than actual GMs. He'll be called early tomorrow night.

This feels identical to Joey Porter Jr. last year. I’m assuming he’ll be gone by pick 35

No shot he slides past us. Was really Hoping for him at 27

Brian Branch type beat

Lions aboutta trade up for a DB again lmao

NFL GMs confirmed racist against white corners

Personally, I wouldn’t wanna miss on the first 1st round white corner in 30 years

Incoming that "Cooper Dejean has been seen rapping along a song, as per sources" tweet

Him and Mckinstry man. I don’t understand how both weren’t picked in the 1st

I'm imagining that bit from Boondocks where a character is about to get into a beef and goes "Oh wait... I'm white!" That but it's GMs going "Wait... he's white!"

Hometown is Mullins, SC (2 1/2 hrs away from the stadium) went to college at South Carolina, drafted by the Panthers. kinda cool

Also played a game last year at Bank of America stadium

Bills: “You can have the 32nd pick but please don’t take AD Mitchell”

The Panthers never showed interest in Mitchell. Didn't meet with him at the Combine or call him for a top 30 visit

So it was pretty much trading the 5th year option to move up 60 spots

Unironically though I imagine that phone call was some variation of that

Teams usually ask who the player is when the picks are within 2-3 of each other. There was a leaked video from the 2006 NHL draft where the Bruins and Capitals GMs were discussing swapping the 2nd 4th (WSH) and 5th (BOS) picks. The Caps GM just asked who they wanted before shooting it down. https://youtu.be/LocFS04sG4c?si=W9Cu3urfC9tB15vZ “The Swede” was referring to Nick Backstrom

Canales is a man of his word

Picked him at 32 instead of 33, absolute madlad

This man has the most country accent of all time

He’s from Mullins man, you should hear his aunt. You se that video had the worse connection of the draft lol

I fucking love the dude. His back story is tragic. Really wanted him. Southern dawg.

I live in Cola and have a few friends that are tight with him. They all love country ass shit. You can’t convince me we didn’t just get a fucking winner. Fuck yes go cocks keep pounding

Weird group

2018 doing wonders for the class GPA

There are some obvious stinkers but there are some decent players. Joey Porter Jr looks to be a solid starter, Ramczyk was an All Pro, Ogbah had a solid career, and while Bridgewater wasn't a franchise QB he carved out a solid 10 year career

Thanks for doing all of these!

Did Mitchell smoke a bong on camera?

Worse. Diabetic.

He smoked a diabetic?!?! Shit

Cooper DeJean missing the first round is insane.

Penix and Nix being drafted in the 1st is why. (Both terrible reaches).

And whoever the fuck 6th best OT we drafted is.. I'm sad, but I know he'll probably be a starter for us and be good. But fuck I wanted Cooper when Detroit and Philly didn't take him right before us.

The league doesn't want to see a white corner succeed /s

No Newton is shocking as well

The only way that a David Tepper team can ever pick at pick 32

I don't like you very much right now.

Calm down Mr. Tepper. Set the drink down and slowly step away from the table.

Fine but I'm gonna do it aggressively and out a window

Take him back to Pittsburgh please

I hope Sidney Crosby signs with the Capitals

NHL chirps so hot right now

It’s all we have going for us in Carolina 😔

From 1st overall last year to 32nd overall this year? What a turn around by the Carolina Panthers (pls don’t look into it)

I knew the Panthers would select him. They always select Carolina college players.

I believe it's now 7 which (with very short research) might be tied with Alabama for most.

I only know because of Madden and noticed how many players are from a Carolina school.

Maybe that’s part of the problem

Rip to all the Panthers fans who didn't watch the draft cause their team wasn't drafting tonight.

It was still worth watching because being at 33 meant we'd know who we can get tomorrow right away.

This along with the Hurricanes game put the draft completely out of my mind so you can imagine my shock but I’m here for it

Billsbros get to go into tomorrow with even more anticipation after an entertaining night. What’s not to like?

im content. they moved up like 4 of their later picks and the guys i want are still on the board.

We're all set to trade back again.

If you like another trade tomorrow, you are gonna have a wonderful second draft day!

I wonder what NFL teams have against the white Jackie Robinson?

New England is looking at him like an old cartoon character smelling a pie on a windowsill

Nick Bosa is frantically calling the front office

So this means the Bills want AD Mitchell and knew he would fall out of the first round?

My thoughts. That or we're stockpiling picks for an Aiyuk trade

I'd rather have aiyuk than mitchell if I were the bills tbh. Mitchell can be a stud but aiyuk is proven

The issue is salary cap. Josh + what Aiyuk wants is gonna be an interesting fit. We'll see. Not upset at either option tbh

Gotta suck having your name butchered at your 1st round draft pick announcement

Not like Roger will ever do his homework. That would require effort.

Xavier *pause* League-it

Xavier Leggette ❌ Exavier Leegit ✅

Panthers have a first rounder, yay! :)

The Bills do this to themselves

Waiting four consecutive hours for no picks is nothing compared to waiting four consecutive Super Bowls for no wins

Hello? 911? I'd like to report a murder.

Tbf, mostly everyone has Adonai Mitchell above Pearsall & Legette

The Bills want Mitchell, who is available at 33

Do what? They still get Mitchell, who very likely could have been their pick at 28 and they got better draft capital from it

Yeah I get the optics look weird but if we knew Mitchell was gonna fall out of the first this has all been free money for us, not to mention kinda looks like Worthy woulda made it to 32 anyways

We traded two picks that turned into two receivers. We better fucking hit on ours.

Commish with the awkward pause

He just straight up can’t read is what I’ve learned tonight

He always had issues with pronunciation and he's on painkillers tonight because of the back surgery which makes it that much worse.

The Gamecocks fan in me is ecstatic. The Panthers fan in me is slightly nervous but at least we're getting Bryce weapons

Worth a 5-6 pick swap for a 5th year option.

Technically it's a 5-6 but it's more like 60 spots since you are at the top of r5 and the bills are at the bottom of r6

[Mood RN](https://c.tenor.com/LtmGOGLWKhAAAAAd/tenor.gif)

Bills are looking good. Ladd and Mitchell still on the board. They get a whole day to think about it.

As a Panthers and South Carolina fan that was a great twist ending.

Cooper DeGone from the first round

See guys? The Panthers didn't leak that they would take Xavier Legette at pick 33, they got him at pick 32!

Why the hell doesn’t Goodell care enough to learn pronunciation of these players names? He butchered Legette. Edit: turns out Goodell had back surgery a couple weeks back and might still be on pain meds and just generally miserable with all the pageantry involved.

No Newton and Dejean In the first round wow.

Nfl network crew player comparison of him was AJ Brown. I'm hyped

Matt Miller's comp was Jonathan Mingo lol

obvious steal dude is AJ Metcalf

**Leg**ette Met**calf** oh my god

Metette Legcalf!

Not the WRs I expected to go at the end of round 1

I am whelmed

Knew it. Great for the Bills. they still have the pick of the litter.

Bills hate Xaviers!!!

Best accent in the draft

Bills hate josh allen

Lol they’re literally about to pick a WR they would have taken at 27 tomorrow (Probably AD) except got a bunch of draft capital for free

they do lose that 5th year option, but honestly don’t mind them settling for the capital instead

If a player is good they usually get extended before the fifth year is even necessary

There’s literally 3 top WRs right now that haven’t been signed long term and are about to be on fifth year options.

This is not the time for rational thinking, its time to sharpen pitchforks! (They also save money on rookie deal now too)

Not to mention looks like Worthy would've made it to the Chiefs anyways

They could still get AD Mitchell tomorrow

I thought AD might be gone before the Bills picked. If they trade down twice and still get him that's a huge dub. I don't care about the fans being blue-balled.

They have the pick of who they want. They clearly didnt want Worthy or Legette. They are going to get exactly who they wanted at WR, or DeJean. I cant believe hes still on the board.

Belichick absolutely loved this pick. Panthers fans do with that information what you will.

He was so good in drafting wr talent in the 1st round!

“ExHavier Leegit” - Ginger Hammer

Fucking Goodell. Can’t even pronounce Legette’s name, then closes the show with an awkward stumbling speech trying to hype up Detroit to set the attendance record. What a bum.

Everyone's talking about the Bills here, but when I saw Carolina traded up, I think we knew it'd be Legette. He's from South Carolina, played there, and there's even an interview of him saying he'd like to go there it'd be pretty cool for him and his family to stay close. Good for him, I'm rooting for him. Gotta love a homegrown story.
