It’s not equivalent. The Bills have the elite QB, but not the elite offensive coach that the Chiefs have, or the HOF TE . Makes a difference when trying to get by with a middling WR room.

It’s more about Reid designing the plays vs calling them, but that’s jmo.

Agree on Coleman v Mitchell. When it was apparent the Bills would pick at 33 ( probably got offers to move down again ) I thought Mitchell would and should be the selection. Was definitely surprised it was Coleman, but I’m warming up to the pick for sure. Definitely rooting for this kid.

The level of negativity and fatalism on this board is off the charts.

Agree . Thats definitely who it’s aimed at. I don’t care for it personally, but to each their own.

It was a tongue in cheek remark on my part. Anyway, you can’t worry about what another team is doing. Or “optics” for that matter. That’s emotional stuff that fans think about, not GMs.

Could be. Can’t believe the Bills moved down and lost out on Pearsall in the process. What were they thinking, missing out on the players they coveted so much.

Neither can you. The Chiefs made a move because they were concerned their “guy” might be selected before their pick. The Bills weren’t concerned and traded down twice. That’s what we know .

I’m sure they had Odunze higher. The cost to move into a spot to get him would have been very high. Higher than they could do most likely. They did choose between Worthy and everyone else - they made the trade. They obviously didn’t care if he was gone . The chiefs needed WRs and love their fast guys. Fans know this. The Bills and Beane know it too. The bottom line is they didn’t care who was selected there.

Yep, they could have. So could Carolina. The Bills didn’t care who they selected , and probably didn’t think the chances were high that it was Coleman. If they cared , they don’t make the trade. Were you in on the phone conversation?

So you think they would trade with a team and cross their fingers that the player they coveted so much wouldn’t be selected ? Lol absolutely ridiculous. If they just had to have Worthy, they don’t make a trade there. It can’t be more obvious.

They obviously didn’t have “ a guy” at 28 , so they traded back. If they really wanted Worthy at that spot, they don’t make the trade. This is pretty obvious, as is the fact they didn’t care what player KC wanted to take. Implying otherwise ( as these hot takes are ) is pure folly. I don’t “ know” that the Bills didn’t want a 160 lb WR , but it doesn’t appear they were very interested.

So they got snookered out of Worthy ? Lol okay , they had no idea Andy Reid might want a WR . Fans of course knew this , however. Pure nonsense ! The Bills didn’t want Worthy, and didn’t care who the Chiefs were going to take. They didn’t have “ a guy” at that spot - hence the trade. These narratives are just plain dumb. As BB said, you do what’s best for your team and don’t worry about what another franchise is doing.

Actually we do. The Bills would have simply stayed put and drafted Worthy if they had him higher or wanted to draft him. Thats fairly obvious.

The Bills didn’t want that player. If they did they stay put and make the pick. Tyreek Hill 2.0 ? Lol I don’t think it’s that easy to find. Lots of small fast WRs don’t end up being Hill. Pretty dumb take, really. The Bills got a free pick for not drafting a player they weren’t taking anyway. No way to know, but good chance he’s there anyway. Could have made a trade to jump ahead of SF if they got nervous. They probably get him regardless and any “ controversy” is completely manufactured.

No, I don’t believe they did. I’ve got to think there will be another addition , which Beane will deny right now.

So Bills are actually at the cutting edge of evaluating here. INteresting.

Lovely.

I think he did too. Just got to a point where the issues plus compensation made it worth doing. Heard HOU had expressed interest earlier and came back again with another offer after some time. Not sure if true, but I completely agree Beane planned on one more year with Diggs on the roster.

Cap hit was this year or next , when Diggs would have been going on 32. Probably a cut at that time with no draft pick compensation. Why kick the can down the road again ? Loved Diggs when he was here, but clearly there were issues. I found Greg Cosell’s commentary on the situation interesting. He said in his opinion film breakdown showed that Diggs was no longer a #1 WR in the NFL and hadn’t been for awhile. Cosell isn’t one prone to hot takes and the like- he just evaluates the film. Just an interesting perspective on the player without the emotional attachment that we get as fans.

Needed a Hardy to replace our Harty.

That sounds like what the Chiefs have been doing Vs what we’ve been doing . Beane has filled holes with veterans at the expense of playing young players and getting them battle tested for the playoffs. They’ve been better than the Bills at this. We’ve sustained a lot of injuries and our more veteran team hasn’t performed at critical moments - particularly on defense. Isn’t this youth movement what we’ve been saying is necessary. Can’t have it both ways . Would’ve liked another WR in this draft but all these players seem to be filling holes left by aging veteran players or those not worth a big 2nd contract.

Plus ca change ….

Short of a trade for a veteran WR ( seems unlikely at this point ) Beane is not serious about competing for a championship this year.

Can we just get another WR please ?
