LEBills

You may not find a bigger pre-draft and current fan of Franklin than me. But the other poster is right that Keon as a whole has been better over the past two years. Yards per route run, first downs per route run, etc. Franklin has improved a lot from 2024 to this year, but that has coincided with him getting much more snaps out of the slot which is what basically everyone says the Bills need to try with Keon. Now unlike Keon, Franklin was instantaneously a great separator and I think he will continue to improve. If he can get his hands more consistent, he will be a good WR. I think Keon will be ok in the league. In the role he has been pigeonholed into and his current strengths as a receiver, it will lead to him being a very inconsistent player over the course of the season

Meyers played about 70% outside in both 2023 and 2024. He has been more 50/50 this year.

I don’t believe using a third round pick on Meyers despite Beane’s poor drafting. You will see in my history that I am one of the biggest Beane haters on this site. But I believe in good process. Giving up a third round pick for a WR who won’t alone fix our offensive woes and who is unlikely to get a large FA contract to offset our investment with a comp pick the following year is bad strategy. It is bad strategy that has gotten us to this desperation point two years in a row with WRs.

Meyers has been a pretty good receiver. I haven’t watched any Raiders game this year so not sure how he has looked this year. But the last two years he has been basically the 32nd WR1 in terms of yards per route run and first downs per route run. He also has played the chiefs 4 times and averages like 5 catches for 65 yards and half a touchdown in those meetings. He also played outside about 70% of the time in 2023 and 2024. He had a slower 40 time than Keon and will be turning 29 in a few days (an age cliff for WR production in many receivers). He would just be help for this year as he is certainly better than Shavers or Moore and probably Palmer too. But if Raiders won’t take any less than a day 2 pick you walk away faster than Meyers can run.

Everything Mahomes does irritates me. Why does it look like he is holding a cherry stem between his butt cheeks when he walks?

Browns are 13 million over the cap next year with a huge cap hit for Watson already. I don’t think anyone is trading such a good asset for Jeudy that they would make that move.

Trading Jeudy leaves the browns with a 22.5 mil dead cap hit next year. He won’t be traded. It’s Shaheed or Meyers if we trade for a WR imo

Breaking rumor lollll I could see us getting Shaheed for a third or fourth round pick. He can help our WR room be more multi-dimensional, but he is a role player not a complete receiver. Though that’s what you usually all you can get at the trade deadline

They are too young to really be a threat, they’ll mess up either in season or in the playoff. Should be a pain to deal with in a year or two.

James Cook is on pace to break ADs single game rushing record, let’s get it!

Andy Dalton, honorary Bill

Believe they said that was their linebacker. Either way JoshHe was caged in like the Pats and Falcons did. He did not a lot of room to maneuver and the defensive player wrapped up well. No one able to get open on second down with all day to throw was the real disappointing down for me.

One autocorrect away from an all time thread

Yea no reason for them to trade him for less. Based on Jameson Williams contract (similar stats and tenure) they are probably looking at a 3rd or 4th round comp pick the following year if they let him walk in Free Agency anyways.

BTJ was drafted by a different GM and Coach. They are not tied to him. Even if his drop issues continue, adding him to the offense makes defenses respect the long ball again. It will be expensive but it’d be worth it
