Happy to provide little people sets to anyone interested. $250 a piece. I know a guy 😉

I saw something after he was released talking about how badly we overrated the players on that Georgia D : - Lewis Cine (1st round) - Travon Walker (1st overall) - Nakobe Dean (3rd round) - Quay Walker (1st round) - Channing Tindall (3rd round) - Kelee Ringo (early 4th) With that being said, perfect guy to add to the PS.

I have no idea. That’s on their website. Clearly the gap is minimal.

No idea, that’s what’s listed on the Bills website

Don’t shoot the messenger: https://www.buffalobills.com/team/depth-chart

No, Jalen Virgil is the name rumored to join the Bills PS (along with Hamler).

This must be how that Denver WR is getting added.

Not sure, that seems to be a question out there on Twitter at the moment.

I think that you can look at it either way. It’s either, “calm down all of those guys will be back on the PS” OR “not one of those guys got claimed? The Bills have had players claimed every years since 2018. Maybe this roster and depth isn’t as good as it was?”

They are worse. I’m not sure that anyone, without the homer glasses on, can think differently. Fortunately, they haven’t played a game yet. Anything can happen with Josh Allen at QB. The talent on this team though is notches below where it was. That’s pretty easy to see. They just had 1 player listed on a list of the top 100 in the NFL (the ESPN or CBS list can’t remember which). They had no one claimed showing that the back of the roster isn’t quite as strong as it has been (they had players claimed every season since 2018). That should be obvious as guys have moved up the depth chart (Edwards, Shakir, Dorian Williams, Rapp, Epenesa) & their former roles are being replaced by lesser players.

Make it make sense: Shorter was one of the top recruits in the country as a senior. He has some elite physical traits that didn’t pan out during college. The reason that you take a flier on that guy in the 5th is because if you can harness those elite traits you have a stud. They couldn’t. It’s the same reason that you take a Josh Allen when a couple of potentially “safer” options in Rosen & Rudolph were on the board. They swung big and missed.

They’re taking some liberty with “star.”

I want him on the 53. He looked the part last week and was a stud at Clemson. Obviously that was a long time ago with injuries in between but he’s no worse of a gamble than Claypool/Isabella/Hamler/MVS (to a lesser extent).

Lol, seriously? A late round pick swap in 2026 has you worked up? The new kickoff rules have brought the return game back into play. The Bills didn’t have someone for that role. They now do.

So much for that guy on WGR this morning that wanted to trade Elam (and maybe a draft pick) for Lamb.

While we are on the menu topic this one is a home run: https://www.smoking-meat.com/how-to-reverse-sear-smoked-ribeye-steaks

It looks like we are doing a burger bar. Our group size ranges quite a bit throughout the year (between 20ish up to 115ish). The home opener is always a big turnout. It becomes tricky to prepare and shop with that fluctuation. Looking like 50ish as of now. We landed on a burger bar. We will get a couple cases of burgers from Niagara Produce, brioche buns, bacon and 5 or 6 different cheeses. Still kicking around the sides. We will have dips, chips, vegetables, etc but still looking for the main side. One of the thoughts was to bring 3 or 4 air fryers and just keep cranking out fries. That feels like it’ll be too much work. Open to suggestions…

Maybe it’s not a misunderstanding though. That’s where I go to. Those dudes are there every day. I would bet that the Bills didn’t want them vocalizing that for fear of triggering people like me. Maybe it’s nothing. If it’s something it’s not good. The Bills NEED Keon to be good now. They would have needed the same from: Worthy, Legette, AD Mitchell, Corley, Baker, Polk, Pearsall, etc… That’s been the point. Whether it was Coleman or someone else this wasn’t a spot for someone to “grow into.” I am on record as not loving the pick but that’s a different point. While I didn’t love the pick, I liked the philosophy far less.

Last thing, to be clear, I’m not sure that he is behind Hollins. In fact, I doubt that’s possible. Tasker and Brown were talking about it last week. It was surprising. If that’s the case, it’s a nightmare. Neither played today. We will know for sure in 2 weeks.I can’t wrap my head around the Bills feeling more confident in Mack. Hopefully that isn’t the case. That conversation though was triggering for me. When they discussed it, my mind went to, “wait a minute this dude is battling Mack Hollins for reps?” It didn’t sit well. I don’t believe that the Bills did enough at the position. I love Beane. It’s biggest blind spot.

I think so. He is a better “bet” than Claypool IMO. They have similar ability but one has less character concerns.

Let me clarify again because it still isn’t resonating. Coleman isn’t a failure. He’s behind where he needs to be. The failure is using your top pick on a guy that is capable of playing behind Hollins. Coleman isn’t where he needs to be but that isn’t his fault. He was a raw, high ceiling, low floor prospect. The failure is on Beane for entering the season with this group. He needed to draft a guy that could be good today not in 2 years.

Got you bro because clearly you didn’t follow (despite Gunner explaining). The failure is the construction of the WR room. You weren’t in position to add a prospect capable of losing reps to Mack Hollins this year. You needed to do better. They backed themselves into a corner and needed a guy at the top of the depth chart. The failure is the mismanagement of the position, not the player splitting time with Mack Hollins. He was always raw and has a high ceiling. They don’t have the luxury to wait on his development. They needed him further along than he apparently is. Hope that clears up your confusion… See above if you are also confused…

All fair and I generally agree. Coleman will certainly play more as the year goes along. I guess my issue is what you hit on. They weren’t as desperate as they should have been. Coleman has been up and down this offseason. What he does well, he’s been good at. What he’s bad at, he’s struggled with. Long term, he may be good. IMO, the Bills needed a guy that is at, or near the top of the depth chart, now. They needed an alpha, not a high ceiling low floor guy to battle Mack Hollins for reps.
