I love Ladd a lot. He is the type of guy that you can trust and he runs some great routes all while being just a good dude. That said, no IMPO. As @inkman notes, Ladd's primary area of use would be in the middle of the field on short and intermediate routes. He is taller Beasley in some ways. I just don't think the Bills need that skilset per say. Kincaid and Samuel should be able to easily cover just about all the routes that Ladd can. I would certainly wait until the 2nd round on him even though I think he has the makings of a very good WR. Love the player but dislike the fit for the Bills without Diggs around. I think AD Mitchell would be a better option at 28. If Ladd slides in the 2nd round and were available at that spot, I would get him there as I think he could help but if we are team building, I look elsewhere. 

Personally I would trade up. 

I could totally see Beanne taking up for Brian Thomas or Chop.  I think/hope Mitchell or Coleman makes it to 28 if he can’t trade up. 
The WR I don’t like and hope the Bills pass on is Worthy.  He’s just fast.  
But I trust Beanne.  He’s hit on WR’s before.

Coleman isn't a speedy guy I don't think he'll be very good at the next level he can't separate

I thought the Bills want speed?

They won't take Coleman at 28.

CBS latest mock has us trading down with Carolina and taking McConkey with the first pick in the 2nd round. Nothing against McConkey who is gonna be a good pro, but he’s not quite what we need at wideout currently. That said, he would give us what we’ve been missing since Beasley and that’s a guy who sees the game like a QB both pre and post snap.

There is a reason I blocked the original Twatter.  And where do I start with the Beasley comment.  He’s a moron.  He’s not wrong but he’s the last guy I need to hear from about anything regarding anything. 

[That Aud Smell]

It's fitting that Beasley would choose to react to an idiotic meme.

In my opinion, hopefully not.  I want someone more dynamic and athletic.  But we’ve seen Beanne draft for a position of need and talking next best before.  After missing out on McDuffie he went next best and took Elam.  
Coleman is essentially a better Gabe Davis.  Better route running.  Better catching.  Much better after the catch.  And their athletic profile is basically the same.  I’ll let you decide who is who.

i don’t necessarily prefer Coleman.  But I do believe he is in play for a Beanne if he stays at 28 or possibly trades down a little.

One of those is a 4th round pick. The other you're suggesting in the 1st. I'd rather take AD Mitchell

Oh me too.  But if Mitchell is gone then Beanne could go Coleman.  That’s all I’m saying.

Coleman was mocked to us in a mock or two a couple months ago and I wouldn’t rule him out entirely.

Beane is gonna trade up.

FTR, McConkey isn't just a possession guy.  He is really fast -- 4.39 in the 40 at the combine.

Having said that, I don't know anything about any of these WR prospects -- except that I want the Bills to draft one in the 1st round and another one shortly thereafter.

Nah draft Ladd and send 15 guys in crossing routes.  🤣

I am in idiotic 'Canes fanboi - so I would not mind if we got him in round 2. Not the next Ed Reed, but he played pretty well in college. 🤷‍♀️

  Only Thomas.  This guy is the real deal. Size, speed and agility. You trade next years first plus 28 for him if you must. Those two picks gets you to ~13 overall.  Immediate starter, possible threat, cap compliant in year 1. LSU Program is top notch so unless he has major character flaws, lower risk than everyone below him. You can still get a safety in the second round, and two seconds next year.

You do realize that Ladd lined up at the X over 50% of the time?? Granted his only weakness was getting off the line on bump and run but that can be circumvented with motion. My favorite idea is Ladd at 28 and trading 60+ a couple later picks to around 45 for Franklin, Legette or Coleman. Or Ladd at 28 and Walker, Polk or baker at 60. There’s no better separator in the draft than Ladd - think Beasley with ridiculous speed - he’ll catch 100 passes in year 1

I realize that in Georgia's offense, Ladd and other WR were often lined up outside to block. Also, the Y receiver at Georgia was often Bowers who is absurd. I love Ladd and Beasley is a good comp. I don't disagree with anything you have here. He's just not a true X(I wanna hold off on this for a minute, I reached out to a guy and want his thoughts). 

I've probably watched 90% of Ladds ncaa snaps. Love the player, don't love the fit. That said, if they draft him, I ain't complaining.

Idk, I go back and forth with it. I love Ladd McConkey as a player but I think in my brain I want that bigger physical guy for contested balls who is a true deep threat. That said, Ladd is so solid.

I think he’ll be a better pro than college player (depending where he gets drafted). 

[LGR4GM]

More on McConkey. Again, I LOVE Ladd McConkey and I wouldn't be mad in any way if Buffalo takes him. They could basically use him exactly how Georgia did because they have Kincaid. At 28, idk, that feels high to me but then again is trading down to 35ish and getting an extra 4th really worth missing out on him? Also in the 1st you get that 5th year option. Can Ladd stay healthy in the NFL and can he continue to get better?
