Zig when everyone zags. Getting bigger is not a surprise. Bigger personal is no surprise. Use Coleman Kincaid Knox with Samuel/Shakir Cook is an interesting line up. Alot of size and versatility on the field. You can have almost 3 te type alignments with condensing the formation. Next play full spread.

I do. I think he is part of the offense. Shakir, Cook and Kincaid see larger shares of the passing attack. Cook was the best player on offense not named Allen for the most part. Cook in a Kamara style role. Brady comes from NO under Payton. He also utilzed Edwards Helaire in LSU. There are plenty of targets to go around and enough guys to pick up the slack if someone does handle the volume.

Shakir was praised for his route running coming out. Samuel is very good vs man. Washington operates on the field in the same area as Shakir and Samuel. Kind of a redundant player. Both Isabella and Hamler would have made it hard for Washington to catch on imo. Depending on match up and look Shakir, Coleman, or Samuel can run a go route. 10.7 is not bad when you take into account what Samuel offers at and behind the LOS. The offense doesnt have a deep threat. I do think any of the guys can make plays down field. All have shown that ability. Would also like to see Kincaid and Coleman down the seem. I see Coleman doing all the Davis stuff but offers more underneath with better athleticism and route running upside.

Defenses realized Diggs couldnt get behind them. Once Allen stopped force feeding Diggs his ints went down. The offense under Brady featured more Kincaid, Cook, and Shakir. It was more efficient. They are leaning more into that with Samuel and Coleman to complement. If Diggs is as good as you feel he still is why didnt Houston give him more money? I could see 5 if they go heavier DE with the modified return rules. Dline and Oline could see more work on kickoff.

Second rd Rb, First rd tightend after paying one top 10 money. Second Rd wr. Using more draft capital instead of cap space might be the better answer. Giving Samuel a decent deal pairs well with the rest of the options. Its different than what they had but doesnt mean worst.

If he is perceived to be those things Washington would not be a 6th round pick. Shakir and Samuel operate in a very similar manner but with more size. Coleman was a style of Wr Allen has not had in some time. With how defenses are playing them that style could be more productive than slamming a go route into 2 high.

I think Bishop starts. Carter is primary back up to Ed. Next season he is given the chance to win the 1T job. Davis is the back up to Cook. Plays the Murray role from last year but has more juice. Johnson is a solid role player but wouldnt want him to approach 10 touches a game. I think in a few years this will be looked at as a very good draft. The success of Coleman will determine the perception of the overall class.

The offense functioned better when Allen wasnt force feeding Diggs targets. Shakir and Samuel function in the manner the offense has had success with. Coleman adds a dimension outside they have not had since Benjamin. Slants, Skinny post and fade routes. I think Coleman puts up numbers on par or better than Gabe out of the box. Thats 80 targets Davis left behind and expect Coleman recieves most if not all. Diggs 160 targets are getting split up between Shakir, Samuel and Kincaid. I expect Shakir to go from 45 targets up to 90 and Kincaid from 90 to 110. That leaves 80 to 90 targets to Samuel. Biggest question mark is Shakir getting more touches. If you take his production down the stretch I think he was already operating close to this volume. Overall not crazy.

Aaron Schobel and Lee Evans. Kyle Williams broke it. Eric Moulds was pre drought. Biggest holes on the roster. A guy who can get a sack and a deep threat.

Unless one is develop in house I dont think they go get another one. They are putting alot into Coleman. They feel he will be able to fit some of that role. Shakir is ascending and will be larger factor than many expect. He will be used liked Diggs not just a slot. Either they look like geniuses or they seal their own fates.

Correct. Best Qb he has had a complete offseason with. Brady is making an offense with Coleman as a primary target. Behind Coleman, Shakir, and Samuel it is wide open. By far the best opportunity he could have asked for. For Buffalo if he doesn’t fit in you send him packing.

I think they keep it as is. Post camp if there is an injury or young skill guys dont take the required “step” I can see Beane making a move at that point.

I think with Shorter, Shavers, Hollins, Coleman and Claypool they have a prominent role in the offense for a large outside wr. Coleman slides into the lead role with Hollins helping and ultimately being the backup. Shorter, Shavers, and Claypool are fighting for 1 spot. Having 3 guys out of 5 or 6 that style does point to a change in player archtypes.

Comes down to Shakir and Kincaid. If they maintain some of their efficiency with more volume Buffalo will have a very good offense. Coleman is the x factor. If he plays well the offense could be better. Having top pass catcher also be a plus blocker opens alot up in play action. With smaller defenses and 2 deep coverage Buffalo is going with a more bully style of offense.

When Claypool had Ben he was good. Chicago was a mess without Claypool. I dont think he was a fit in Miami with the style of Wr they have. He very well could be done. If so he is cut. There is a none 0 zero chance he bounces back to a productive player in Buffalo. Stable environment, elite Qb, and an offense being constructed with a player of his skill set in mind. Add in the targets available with Diggs and Davis gone this is a huge opportunity most likely his last.

I think he was comfortable using body positioning to create separation that way. By being late to football it explains his lack of technique. I hope by training with Chase and Nabers he tightens up his footwork. At the beginning and catch point he is good. Working on his breaks could do wonders.

I don't see them making a big move. Coleman is the earliest Wr drafted by Beane. I also think he is very high on Shakir. Slot and Z will be interchangeable by Samuel and Shakir.

My point he is filling in for a large outside wr. Similar strengths and weaknesses. Playing a few snaps out wide for Mia is a different animal with plays designed for Waddle and Hill. Not being part of the gameplan but having a style of play that is.

I think it shows they have role they want filled in the offense. Coleman is a style of wr Allen hasn't had and the offense hasn't utilized. I think Shorter, Shavers and Claypool will compete to be the primary back up to Coleman. Hollins though could be that I see him more as Davis/Sherfield role. He is solidly the 4th wr. Isabella and Hamler are also on the roster. I think one of them makes it as well. Slot and deep threat ability with returner duties.

Defenses really stopped worrying about Diggs getting down field. The offense was fine without getting production from both. Coleman in a condensed set will help in the run game and also provide those big slot routes. Claypool has his best chance since Pittsburgh to produce. Mcdaniel saw him as a te. Could be the primary back up for Coleman. Obvious big role is being developed for him.

He is paid as a starter. Samuel and Shakir will get a bunch of targets in the area Diggs and Beasley operated for years. Samuel adds the backfield and jet sweep element without having personnel tip off the defense.

I assume he waited til after the draft. Claypool is probably who Beane was referring too. Claypool is at the same age but carries more potential than any 6 or 7 rounder they could have selected. Shavers, Shorter, Claypool and Cephus fight for wr 5 or 6.

Has potential and probably the best path to make the roster and a role. Low risk full off season with a real qb maybe he matured and takes advantage. At his age athletic profile its a no brainer move. I would almost write Hollins on the roster in sharpie at this point.

I do not see any difference in any name on this list. All of them put up numbers 2 to 3 years ago. Picking the younger guys inspires some hope they could reach those numbers again. Post draft FA signings are all similar unless its a real deal with real guaranteed money like Flloyd last season.

I think Jones and Spector are battling for the Matekavic role. Special teams but offer something on defense in coverage if needed.
