No way Beane trades for a reputed head case no matter how talented. Jeudy's recent bad body language might be enuf to turn him off even if he was otherwise interested.

If he came to Buffalo his QB would be Josh Allen, the #1 player in the game today at the all important position. Josh Allen brings the best out of everyone. Jeudy would be no different imo. He'd also be entering a WR room with Diggs and Davis, veterans and consummate professionals. Somehow I take that to be a very different place than the Denver WR room. Those guys would also take some of the pressure of immediate high expectations off of him and give him time to adjust. If he pans out he helps take this O to another level and provides insurance against the loss through injury of one of our star wideouts. Bills are a strong championship contender and clearly one of the best organizations in the league top to bottom. He could not land in a better place from his perspective. Hes had issues with drops recently and while a concern I suspect these are concentration lapses that should be correctable. As others have said he was considered to be sure handed coming out. He wouldn't come cheap, maybe a 2023 2nd and a mid to late pick in 2024 (assuming Denver is even interested). I don't think Beane would go there even if Jeudy is cap friendly so for sure I don't expect a trade.

If he couldn't flourish in this offence for sure he's a bust. I think there is a good chance he would flourish.

I'm for going all-in. I'd give the Browns our 4th (in effect an early 5th). I'd also consider a third + for Jerry Jeudy if Denver would do it. That would be adding two playmakers for much less than SF paid for CMC.

If he's fully recovered from injury Jets got a good back for next to nothing.

If they were in a deep cover 2 and you couldn't find a run game that's when you'd have a problem. Devin is right now contributing all this offence needs in the way of a run game. He's fine as the lead back provided he's good with ball security. The Bills seem to improve their running offence as the year goes on (at least they did last year) and the appear to be doing so again. For his whole career he's been a durable workhorse, including his college days. He's not a game breaker but he's good enuf to keep us from having to pass 60 times a game, which would make that deep cover 2 thing a problem even with Allen, Diggs and Davis. In an ideal world I too see him best as complementary back to a true # 1, but that guy was not CMC, more like the guy in Indy or even the Jets rook. But those guys are hard to find, especially if you don't take an RB with an early pick in the draft. Even as a passing team we do need to run the ball but I think our RBs are capable of getting the job done.

It's been 2 1/2 years since CMC has been a game breaker.

To me Singletary has shown that he can function adequately as the feature back and he does not have CMC's injury history. I don't think whatever extra marginal value CMC might provide is worth the 32nd pick. Pass.

Its that simple

I think you meant to say Mahomes. I agree that Herbert is much less visibly animated than either Allen or Mahomes. That's probably what caused Miami to discount his competitive nature. But there are different ways to show leadership and the best cred is to do so by example, which all three of them do. I'm sure the guys in the huddle trust Herbert and believe in him. He is a great young player and it's important too to say that he appears to be a good person without character flaws, so no Jeff George or Cutler who may have had the skills but not the (leadership) personality. Eli was definitely toned down but he's a funny guy and no doubt his teammates knew him a lot better than any observers. Regarding the question asked in this thread about trading a young superstar QB in his prime of course that is hypothetically possible imo. I say that believing that Allen's particular combination of physical skills, intelligence, psychological aptitudes and work ethic have perhaps never before been seen. But every commodity (or player) has its price, its just that it's likely to be prohibitive. Like maybe four all pros in their prime at positions of need and a half dozen first round picks. A perennial bottom feeding team with few prospects for improvement in reasonable time frames despite having a guy like Allen could feel that their path to competitiveness might be shorter if they traded him away.

Thinking that Herbert was not a leader and a winner is what led Miami to pick Tua ahead of him. That was a mistake. The guy actually is very competitive.

Shakir (if he sees the field).

He’d be a great complement to a true #1 back.

But does he even have possession and a complete pass in that case.

Or catch it himself. He’s bigger and stronger than Levi.

Its the opposite of having vision.

Should have been a completion. Not on him.

I think Josh is trying to beat the wind but putting too much mustard on his throws.

I thought Pickens was the best WR in the draft. A steal in the second round. Pickens has since training camp looked every bit a NFL ready QB. Steelers have excellent receivers and our secondary is beat up. That’s a great matchup for Pitt.

Lawson got pressure in spite of a blatant hold. Hope Poyer is ok. Looked like he was in pain on the bench after his pick. He’s already banged up.

And Diggs is a better, more important player himself since he got here. In fact Allen was why he was happy to come. Diggs does a lot to bring more out of Allen but Allen makes everybody on O better. I look forward to seeing him work more with Shakir. I think their skill sets will complement nicely. Maybe very very nicely ala Brady\Edellman.

Shakir/Allen combo is going to be lethal.

Davis is a HOF RB. We have Devin and Moss.

Elway wasn’t a winner until Terrell Davis showed up. We just don’t have a #1 RB.
