Obligatory: 6th round picks can’t be considered busts.

Need an additional category for fewer than 35 TDs.

All great points.

Dorsey and Shula overlapped at the panthers from 2013-2017. Olsen: 2013 - #1 in targets 2014 - #2 in targets 2015 - #1 in targets 2016 - #1 in targets 2017 - injured in Week 2 (against the Bills no less) He went onto IR for much do that season. I understand that Olsen was into his prime at that time, but part of the equation was knowing how to use him. I voted for Davis, but this poll is not outrageous. With both Dorsey and Shula on this Bills offensive staff, there is a path for Kincaid targets. It is exactly why this could end up being a really good first round pick.

I went with Davis, but there is certainly a path for Kincaid. The 2015 Panthers leading target getter was, by a pretty wide margin, Greg Olsen (124 targets vs the runner up, Ginn Jr at 97). I don’t recall if they had Olsen in the Y (like Knox) or the F (presumably like Kincaid).

Are you referring to the original post? If so, I think you should read it again. The original post says nothing about Dallas wanting to take Kincaid.

Concert replay AND commercial!

The gamble on Dorsey to incorporate a player like Kincaid may be a good one. https://twitter.com/erikjturner/status/1652295065191022597?s=46&t=nBNWGpzYcB5-vfXBbBK7Jg

Definitely

Commercial! 🤯

To add to this… In the 2022 season, Iowa had one of the nation’s best overall defenses. The only offensive player of note, however, was LaPorta. 2022 was the worst O-line Ferentz has fielded in over 20 years. Brutal. At one point of the season, they had the nation’s top scoring defense and the nations worst scoring offense. That defense has a few more NFL-caliber players that will get picked in the 2024 and 2025 NFL drafts.

Anthony Richardson will be the most successful QB taken in this draft.

Exactly! We will take defense at 24, after trading up.

Assuming the Bills stay at 27, I would be A-OK with Hyatt.

Sam LaPorta was the only player worth watching on Iowa’s putrid offense in 2022. Had Iowa fielded even a middling offense, folks would be talking about LaPorta in the same breath as Hockenson, Fant, and all the other past Iowa TEs.

First guess: Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa Second guess: Payne Durham, TE, Purdue

I am all aboard the Zay Flowers at #27 bandwagon. That said, if the Bills wait until the later rounds to draft a WR, I like Charlie Jones as a target. Has enough speed and agility to compete and was always a heady player. Very underutilized at Iowa and has himself a breakout season when featured at Purdue.

The Bills should 100 percent make this happen.

If the draft were today, I’d be crossing my fingers for Zay Flowers to drop. He is a receiver in the Antonio Brown mold and could eventually become a WR1. Exactly the kind of WR these Bills seek.

10 pages on something the OP claims is “inarguable”.

Let’s say Beane makes several moves. How long until we start seeing the complaints about not receiving a compensatory pick for Edmunds departure?

Really looking forward to seeing how the WRs and TEs test.

I think your repeated Marty Schottenheimer comparisons are worthless. However, let’s humor the idea and suppose that McD is a true comp to Marty and that their professional careers will be mirrors of one another. Marty was the head coach for four franchises: the Browns, Chiefs, Redskins, and Chargers. His stint in Washington was brief - only a single season (2001: 8-8 record) In his three other stretches, he took each of his teams to the playoffs with regularity. He took over the Browns mid-season in ‘84 and proceeded to get them into the playoffs in 85, 86, 87, and 88. After Marty left, the Browns managed the playoffs in ‘89, but were 3-13 the following season. They would have a four year drought before tasting the playoffs again. The Browns have won no super bowls since parting with Marty. Marty next went to the Chiefs. The Chiefs had been 4-11 the two prior seasons. In his 10 seasons in KC, he coached them into the playoffs 7 times. After parting with Marty, the Chiefs had a four season playoff drought. It would be 21 years post-Marty before the Chiefs won a Super Bowl. His final NFL HC stop was in San Diego, gaining 2 playoff appearances in five seasons. After parting with Marty, the Chargers still managed three consecutive playoff appearances before entering a period where they had one playoff appearance in eight seasons. The Chargers have won no super bowls since parting with Marty. Even if one humors such a worthless comparison, it would still not argue in favor of making a change at HC.

The amount of Bills fans who blindly think a change at HC will magically get them to the promised land is surprising. It’s drought-era logic. “Terry, get me a new head coach every year or so because I like the excitement of the churn more than a real chance to compete.” Have fun with another 20 year drought. Call me when it’s over.

We saw it with Andy Reid. One championship completely flips the narrative. McD is already flying up the leaderboard with respect to coaching statistics. He wins one championship and we likely have a future HOF coach leading the Bills. The willingness to toss him overboard very much feels like drought-era logic to me. A seemingly never-ending, grass is always greener churn resulting in prolonged mediocrity. These Bills are NOT mediocre. They are a very, very good football team.
