At least all the posters in this thread spreading misinformation and fake drama have totally exposed their agenda is all total BS just to manufacturer a narrative to try and manipulate other "fans" to join their minority of their PERSONAL desire for Diggs to be traded. Ironic thing is that THEY are actually the drama, not Diggs. So that is at least one good thing is that the same few keep posting and further exposing their agenda. And yet there is no actual evidence of any drama of Diggs wanting out or the Bills actively trying to trade him.

I also think Coleman is a high probability, maybe even at 28. He is a guy who is open when not open and would be a big weapon in tough weather game. If we don't land Thomas or someone like that earlier, I would keep an eye on Coleman.

I agree, although if we trade up then I think it’s doubtful we draft a 2nd WR unless the compensation used to move up has more to do with next years draft. Just think we need too many pieces in this draft to fill holes to both trade some picks to move up for a WR and also take a 2nd WR. Especially not having a 3rd rounder.

I think a move that big is really only appropriate for a QB. I think if Odunze gets into the back end of the teens or even to the twenties thanks to a combo of a big QB run and someone foolishly taking Worthy before Odunze then it’s a no brainer, assuming someone was willing to pass on him themselves and take a trade down.

There are WRs that will go in round 2 this year that I think would be round 1 guys in other years. Im all for a trade back if we can’t get Thomas or Mitchell in the first (I wouldn’t pass those 2 up if we can get one). Would love to pick up a third and still be able to get someone like McConkey, Leggette, Coleman, Franklin, Pearsall, etc and some defensive help all in the 2nd. I’m not married to any one outcome this year because I know how deep WR is for this draft.

Well last year and this year are very different. And I do personally know for a fact Beane called at least one team to try and get Addison and I shared that intel after the draft last year. And Kincaid was the best offensive weapon on the board when we picked and proved to be a player for us on the rise already. Also, I kept telling everyone not to sleep on Shakir and that he was a breakout candidate and the FO loved him so the WR room wasn't as dire as some made out to be. Shakir then proved that to be true on the field in 2023 (thank god Dorsey was fired). But Beane knows its different this year...Davis is gone, Diggs will be 31 this year with an expensive contract, and we are in the midst of one of the best WR drafts ever. It is pretty much a lock he will be drafting one, so don't think you have much to worry about there. Question is more when does he pull the trigger.

Worhty is this years Henry Ruggs for me, a guy who is going to get over drafted for running incredibly fast with no pads on in a straight line with no defenders. Not saying he can't be a good player or will be a bust as bad as Ruggs, but he is not the kind of player I want for Buffalo. He is 6'1" but only 164 pounds and that concerns me for a number of reasons in Buffalo. We ask a lot of our WR's in blocking. Bad weather, especially snow, neutralizes speed. We have a lot of that in Buffalo come back end of season and playoffs. His lack of size means he might be too easily taken out of those bad weather games. Not sold his thin frame can hold up for 17 grueling NFL games plus preseason and playoffs every year as WR1 in the NFL. I think Worhty is better off with a dome or fair weather team where he is a secondary option who can take the top off the defense. I love speed as much as anyone, but for me there are big guys running insane sub 4.4 speeds in this draft too, I would rather find a combo of size and speed than just skinny fast. I want a team that is built to win the tough cold weather playoff games because that is likely what we will be in every year for our SB path whether its at home or on the road in a place like KC for example.

I don't know that I am right, its just more I just have to think they see this as too good a shot to get an elite prospect to replace what had been our best weapon maybe as soon as next year. While I think there is no chance Diggs plays anywhere but Buffalo this year, I do think next year is when it becomes more of a conversation depending on how things go this year.

I get that...I just have this sneaky suspicion Beane is going to see this as a rare opportunity to go get an elite WR1 prospect despite picking low in the first. There are 4 guys in this draft that would have been the best WR in half the last 10 drafts at least. Its not very often we can get an elite prospect at WR within striking distance of 28 without having to trade a bounty. He knows he needs a succession plan for Diggs, and this is maybe his best shot at it. I would think they wouldn't want to risk Allen not having that goto top end WR1 rest of his prime. And Samuel I think takes the pressure off needing 2 WR's in this draft, so he can maybe use some of those picks to make the move to get Thomas or maybe we get lucky and a QB run and someone like Worthy getting over drafted pushes one of the big 3 into the later teens or something.

Personally, I think the addition of Samuel on a 3 year deal opens up the aggressiveness for Beane to go get his guy who he believes can be the heir to Diggs. Between Samuel, Shakir, and Kincaid...we have those guys in their prime for at least 3 years or more. Diggs is 31 and we are going to need a true WR1 to replace him potentially as soon as next year, or the year after that. So, IMHO Beane isn't going WR2 hunting in this draft now, I think his focus is on that true WR1 talent that can come in and learn from Diggs and be ready to take over next year or the year after for him. My way too early thoughts on this right now are that I think the odds of Beane trading up to get someone like Thomas (or if one of the big 3 slide because someone over-drafts Worthy based on his crazy 40 time) have increased with the Samuel deal. And with Hollins addition (excellent blocker and ST player) I think we may not double dip on WR now, and instead use the extra pick(s) as part of the move up and then use the rest of the picks to fill other holes on the roster, mostly defense and maybe an IOL like a C.

Ive seen some differing thoughts in a number of threads on what this means now for the draft. So posting this poll to see how people see these signings impacting Beane's aggressiveness of adding a WR in the draft. Beane has made no secret about our interest in taking a WR, so this doesn't change that, we are still drafting at least one WR in the draft. The questions now come down to when, how aggressive we will or won't be, etc. We have now have youth below WR1 Diggs for a few years with Samuel, Shakir and Kincaid here (not counting Shorter until he shows he belongs in the league first). So knowing Beane still is almost certainly taking a WR in this draft, how do you think it impacts Beane's approach to this draft in regards to the WR position now?

Lol, never said I was in charge. But I do care about this board and said your thread committed to spreading a false narrative is bad for the board because it spreads false information. Then again, guess threads like this are to be expected from you when the highly respected poster you leached onto all season to try and get your name out of the muck stops posting and you gotta go back to your bread and butter nonsense.

Whoa whoa whoa Beck...this isn't the thread for facts, logic, reason. lol

So you basically admit that its not any substance to anything, its just you and the other minority part of the fan base CLAMORING for him to be traded when in reality there is no drama, Diggs doesn't want to be traded, Beane doesn't want to trade him, and it makes absolutely no cap sense to trade him this year. You also said he would not be traded until 2025 multiple times...so theres that too.

It’s not about liking a thread or not. It’s about your absurd witch hunt manufacturing false information that you spread to others and it infects this board and other threads and brings the quality of the board down. Threads like this are like cancer…nothing good about it and it just spreads. Like nothing you post should be taken seriously after hanging your hat on what you know was a thread all about you to stir up nonsense. Im not joking when I say this is the worst thread of the year. All it is really is a lightning rod for all the internet Karens who want to hear what they want to hear, ignore facts, and spew manipulated and falsified info to fuel a bias hatred of Diggs before anything legitimate or real has happened.

EXACTLY Geezus...now you are going back to last year, something that was squashed immediately and was not at all a factor at any point in the season. Ok Karen. Your crazy bias to make this into something is unreal. Honestly, this thread makes it embarrassing to be a Bills fan.

No he did not. Stop. This nonsense is getting out of hand. He literally did NOT say anything at all that should be seen as controversy. And then he went out and made perfectly clear what he wants, which is to be here. And yet all you catty conspiracy theorists and media just keep harassing him with stupid questions or manufactured theories that are just absurd despite him making it clear what he wants. It is so ridiculous, and honestly, he has also politely made clear just how sick of it he is, and so has Josh. But carry on with your catty nonsense like you guys are on Housewives of Buffalo or something.

Stop. Its never going to happen and its a terrible idea overall. You do this with every player as if the cap has no impact on these trades either. Diggs is not going anywhere whether anyone wants him to or not, at least not this year. Where do you guys come up with this nonsense. Diggs has literally said Josh is family...he wants to retire a Bill...he hopes he stays. Josh, Beane, etc have all gushed over Diggs too. You guys are just ridiculous about how you try and twist everything into drama with him. Cannot wait for the offseason to end so this thread, literally the dumbest and most pointless thread of the year manufacturing drama where there isn't any goes away.

Im glad you’re not the GM then lol… Yikes 😬

This is the exact guy I kept naming as who I thought Beane would sign. Fair deal too. I think he’s going to be a good addition and allows the team to not have to lean too hard on the rookie as well. Im even more convinced Beane is in the hunt for a WR1 Diggs replacement in the draft now and not just a WR2 who might become a WR1. So I think this increases the odds Beane is aggressive come the draft to go get his guy.

lmao...this guy again. NO.

Falcons have a legit shot at the division if Cousins is all the way back from injury. Lot of focus on the offense, but they had an underrated defense and pretty strong secondary to go with it.

This is still the worst thread of the offseason by a mile.

I like Rondale Moore. Good WR3 kind of guy. I wouldn't have made this trade, Ridder sucks. They could have gotten a 5th probably for Moore and drafted someone that would give them more value than Ridder.

If we did that we wouldn't be able to field a team. Never gonna happen.
