Personally Victimized By Brandon Beane: 2024 NFL Draft, Part One

In the light of day, I am able to move past the somewhat irrational emotional response of the end of the first round, but it's funny how fast your brain can go from "I hope Cooper DeJean falls to 28" to "IF THE DETROIT LIONS TAKE XAVIER LEGETTE WITH THE COWBOYS PICK I WILL LOSE MY MIND" -- this is my takeaway from watching the draft for the first time. Was trading out of the first round a disaster of historical proportions? No. Beane was following his board. I'm sure he had a good sense of what Kansas City and Carolina planned to do with those picks, and he let Worthy and Legette go. He didn't have either of them graded for the first round, and I pretty much agree with him. Will Bills fans lose their minds if Beane does what I expect and takes DeJean at 33? (Or even trade down a couple spots MORE in the mid 30s?) Prolly. So I'll be back tomorrow with my take on night two.
