Looks like Gabe Davis with better hands. Stash on the PS and develop for a year to replace Davis??? We could always keep him as our 6th WR.

Again I ask with a twist... did you not watch the Bills this season? If you took that Bengals game as a vacuum game and came up with Deandre Hopkins as the one thing that would get us a Lombardi then you didn't watch that game. By the way (since maybe you need this explanation), you shouldn't take that Bengals game as the definition of the 2022 Bills.

We've had a real chance to win it all for the last 3 years. Are you new to watching the NFL?

I think we should all take this as an exciting (anxiously exciting) move for our D in general. Seems we now have a pretty good idea that McDermott is really about to change our D. It's interesting that we basically have 3 guys now on the team who kinda straddle that LB/Safety skillset and roll in Rapp, Bernard and Williams... and I didn't even mention Milano. I hope McDermott proves to be the mad defensive genius for this team that Andy Reid is on offense for the Eagles.

Our OL went from horrible to stacked very quickly. What I like about this is it probably sets Bates up to take a year on the bench behind Mosrse to master Center. Man... we have 5 guys who range from probably decent to possibly great starting Guards now. Loving the draft so far!

Dane Brugler has 11 WRs in his top 100... just noting. JSN #1 (number 18 overall) to Trey Palmer (number 95 overall)

I am 100% hoping Bijan falls to us. I just don't think he does. If he doesn't, our RB corps is already pretty seriously upgraded from last season.

Thanks Gunner... but I just won't even read this cause we aren't drafting a QB. Wide Receivers next, please!

Is this thread about Josh Allen or Jim Kelly? Why are people talking about the 2 in the same light? Are you guys implying that Josh cheated on Brittany the way Kelly did on his wife? Has there been any further news about them actually breaking up?

I know this is minor (to us), but did the Josh & Brittany breakup actually happen? I know there was a thread about it, but I thought within it people were still talking about how it was all speculation. Regardless, if they did break up, that adds just one more thing for last season being incredibly difficult for Josh considering a long term relationship doesn't just end in the snap of a finger.

Zay Flowers? Do you have a separate grade for Bills specific players? I appreciate that Joe Marino, for example, comes out with a separate Bills ranking. And while I could see the push back against something like that, I think scheme/culture fit needs to be a consideration.

Thanks Gunner. I genuinely appreciate the response. I think you generally captured what I was trying to say in the 2nd to last paragraph at towards the end. Since you have your scouting background, can you give us your favorite 1 or 2 WRs by round that you'd like to see in the draft? Right now it seems like most have JSN as in a league of his own in this draft but still relatively within reach with a trade up. Do you agree? Would you do it?

Well... I think the discrepancy here is that you're assuming that the Bills will/should be targeting a WR with size

I changed the title. I don't think many of you got my point. There are 14 WRs ranked in the top 100 (Brugler). I think some of you are bizarrely of the belief that it's 1st round WR or bust because no one else will be worthwhile. I think that's misguided I disagree

Yes. But strong with those 2nd to mid round talents. Do people think we only have 1 draft choice this year or something?

Holy crap... I'm trying to say the opposite. There are soooo many good slot WRs in this draft Buffalo can afford to wait. Didn't I say that?

First of all, has anyone listened to Beane and McDermott talk about Gabe Davis? They freaking love the guy. I don't think our efforts to add to WR this offseason have been/will be about replacing Gabe Davis so much as getting him back to what he does best. I think Davis is a good starting WR, just not great. But Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Miami are the exceptions, not the rule when it comes to 1-2 punches at WR. What Josh Allen really thrives with is an Elite slot WR, as we learned with Beas. What's this draft full of? Potentially good to great slot WRs. I looked at Dane Brugler's "The Beast" over at The Athletic and the VAAAASSSST majority of the top 14 WRs are slot WRs. And all 14 of those are in his top 100 And also, Brugler has 15 WRs in his top 100. From JSN to Jordan Addison to Zay Flowers to Josh Downs to A.T Perry to Tank Dell... this draft is STACKED with WRs who project to the slot. It really makes me think this might be a repeat of last year and 2020 when we knew WR was a need but we waited to draft one til the mid to late rounds. That said... I would friggin LOVE JSN on this team!

LB isn't a big money position?

DT. We need it. We're screwed after this season.

Lock it!!!

Too much money

It's going to keep going up.

Re Spencer Brown:

Jack Campbell Marvin Mims

See this is kinda the reason I'm wondering if Campbell will be the guy we target. McDermott was the Panthers DC when Kuechly was drafted and for his first 5 years in the league. As for the desire for Sanders because of his pass rushing ability, was Kuechly a great pass rusher? Campbell seems like more of a true old school well-rounded MLB with good run stopping and coverage ability and great instincts. Sanders sounds more raw. I just think as McDermott's 1st year calling the defense, he'd look at a Kuechly-like MLB with googly eyes. We already have our pass rushing/blitzing LB in Milano.
