I think they just wanted a bigger, more physical presence outside. But McConkey is basically playing at a near-Pro Bowl level, so if it was about a 'ceiling', that may not have been the best bet.

I haven't looked at the stats for the others lately, but McConkey looks to be an excellent player. He was my top Bills target last April and seems like he's going to be even better than I thought.

I think they're getting exactly what they deserve. They knew all about him when they traded for him. They deserve each other, IMO.

So two 7th round picks.

The problem isn't the LBs so much as the undersized DTs. If those guys up front can't hold the point of attack, the LBs arent going to make much difference.

He will, if only enough to keep his starting streak alive.

Tipped, but if it hits the receiver in both hands, he should still catch it.

I think they need a big, fat run defending DT a little more, but yeah, they need another big upgrade at WR, too.

Jared Allen and Torry Holt, for sure. Probably Gates as well.

I'm not at all surprised that he's playing well. For my part, I thought Ladd McConkey was a better all-around prospect than either of them, but the Bills clearly wanted a bigger, more physical presence outside. Regardless, Coleman was playing pretty well for a few weeks before the injury, so I think there's a good chance it'll work out OK for the Bills in the sense that they got what they wanted.

At this point, Cook has established himself as one of the best RBs in the league and is a source of explosive plays in this offense. If that continues through the end of his contract, I'd be in favor of a two or three year contract extension.

As well as they had been playing offensively prior to this past game, I wouldn't do anything differently. Play the starters and prepare as if it's any other game. Once you lose focus and momentum, often it's difficult to get it back. I wouldn't cede that advantage voluntarily.

Granted, it's kind of a low bar considering how he played in his first game, but Bishop seems to be improving in every game he plays. At this rate, I think he'll definitely be in competition for a starting role next year.

It seemed to be underthrown, but Coleman also got tripped up by one of the defenders who fell down in front of him.

At his best, in the middle of his career...top 5, maybe top 3.
