The amount of James Cook hate on this forum is.... pretty hilarious. He has dropped some untimely passes (that's an understatement) but he was literally sixth in yards from scrimmage in the NFL last year. The only RBs with more were McCaffrey and Breece Hall (whom Cook has a higher rushing avg). He had a higher rushing avg (4.7) and more yards than Travis Etienne, Bijan Robinson, Joe Mixon, Derrick Henry, Gibbs, Saquon, etc. etc. But I guess he's a bum and we should move on from him as quickly as possible. Yes it sucks that he has problems catching the ball. That's why he's a running back and not a slot receiver. Do I wish he was CMC? Of course. But the Bills could do, and have done, a lot worse than James Cook.

This is a good “question of the day.”

Cool there’s room to add Zach Ertz.

I think most pundits would agree that BTJ has a lot of room to develop, but he literally scored 17 TD in the SEC, against corners that will be drafted into the NFL. Not sure I agree with this take. He is way more pro-ready than you think.

Khalil Shakir. He gets 80+ targets en route to his first 1k season.

I imagine the return man is probably not on the team yet. fwiw Ty Johnson returned kicks in college, so he could be an option.

I feel like Shakir might be critically undervalued by a lot of Bills fans. He only had 45 targets in 2023 but he was extremely efficient whenever we threw him the ball. If he was getting 159 targets like Puka Nacua (who has a bit more size, but plays a similar game and has similar advanced stats) we'd all be talking about how great he is. That being said, we should still draft an X receiver in the 1st

Anyone but Collingsworth

Yikes!

Line is getting dominated

How did Puka last til round 5?

Beane asleep at the wheel again...

Dalvin Cook in his first two years rushed for 354 and 615. So far, little brother James is beating him at the early stage of his career. James is also clearly the more dynamic weapon today. I have faith that James will continue to produce throughout his rookie contract.

Wrong. Sitting Cook is one of the reasons we lost the Broncos game.

🏆

Every play still in shotgun.

Good lord this team LOL

Oooooooof. You gotta run the ball.

Holy crap. Just direct snap it to Cook/Murray for the rest of the game.

They did and it WORKED!!!

Please God just run the ball from center.

HOLY CRAP WE RAN TO SET UP THE PASS

Ronald Darby... shut down corner !

Can anyone summarize Fitz's analysis? Missed it.

He was fine. They tried to run him between the tackles on first down situations. Not going to make for a very pretty statline. Ended the day with 77 yards from scrimmage.
