I think you are totally right. They will ease Davis into the #2 role and Sanders will split time with him. He more than likely will have other matchup and substitution roles to get his targets up. I think the 4 WR sets are going to be very interesting!

Cole was an UDFA.

Tyreek Hill was a 5th round WR drafted before KC drafted Mahomes and they have one 2nd round pick since drafting Mahomes. Let's not rewrite the Chiefs history. Beane has set himself up pretty good for the draft so maybe he will pick a WR in the 1st. I'm just in the group who thinks that is a longshot.

I am only a casual fan of college football and totally rely on knowledgeable posters as to who is worthy of a #30 pick. Actually the draft is originally why I started reading the boards in the first place! Having said that the best I can do is look at what Beane might be thinking when it comes to positions and that's why I say that CB along with the other 3 are my BPAs if a player deserving is available. One thing so far in FA that is a little strange is how the CB position has been skipped with the exception of Levi.

I totally agree BUT for one moment let's look at the opposite of what you said for the sake of discussion. What positions drafted at #30 would have the highest chance of cracking the starter list? I don't know if Beane is thinking that way but if he was my list is pretty short. #2 CB #1 RB #1 TE Top 2 rotational Pass Rushing DE That is how I see it and it wouldn't surprise me at all if one of those 4 positions are selected at #30.

I agree with this much from your reply. I can see that type of WR being drafted but not in the 1st or 2nd. We shall see in a few weeks what Beane is thinking.

There is a boatload of vet FA WRs next year so I would not be worried about Sanders position next year. As for Beasley the only way he will be let go is if his play significantly drops off. With Josh Allen as QB there will always be WRs wanting to come to Buffalo. Beane last year used a 1st, 4th, 5th, 2-6th in 2020 and a 2021 4th on WRs. I don't see another WR taken this year until the 5th unless one of "their guys" drop in the 3rd.

I agree, especially now that Watson is no doubt out as a trade possibility. Jimmy G will cost $23M this year which isn't all that much. NE would easily give a 2nd and 4th but if the 1st wanted from SF is firm I'm sure there will be a give back of a 3rd or so by them. I'm pretty sure Jimmy G will be a Pat. He ain't great but a lot better than Cam. I hope it all falls through and he stays in SF this year.

I would add one thing. Everyone knows the DL and Bills front 7 needed to play better last season. That being said I think it's being a little overblown here lately. It's not like they were at the bottom of the league or anything. Beane and McDermott did their evaluation and have their plan. Like I keep saying let's wait to see what the team is in September.

They gutted that horrible defense ranked 29th in the league because they allowed it to go bad after the 2017n season! 29. Kansas City Chiefs I’m not sure if anyone knows what to expect out of the Chiefs defense after it lost several significant players in the offseason. CB Kendall Fuller should be a fine replacement for Marcus Peters but he’s not going to be the playmaker the new Rams corner had been for Kansas City. OLB Dee Ford is coming off a major injury and has looked like it during preseason. Justin Houston is now a year older and has averaged just seven sacks a season since 2014. The linebacker group would be perfect if it were 1995 and the running game still mattered. DT Chris Jones is a blue-chip talent but the Chiefs are going to be asking a lot of him. Expect a lot of shootouts in Kansas City this season.

Good grief, when an OC calls for a long ball (bomb for us old timers) generally a 40+ yard pass so many thing have to happen correctly for a completion that using only a QB completion rate is foolish. It's why it is inherently a low percentage pass because of that fact. The QB is just one part of that equation. There are QBs who are generally a little better than the norm over years on these limited attempted plays but even then a lot of other factors are needed for success. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills Offense were NOT good at these passes his first 2 years in the league. That is a fact! Last year (it has already been confirmed by many sources) that the TEAM worked on this more and significantly improved on this low percentage play. I expect them to continue to work on it and there is a reasonable chance for continued improvement. Anyone wanting to argue with what I stated above?

I'm of the belief that with all the FAs (many of whom will play for vet minimum with 0 or very low guarantees) available that it might be wise for Beane to sign a good amount of these players vs having a lot of UDFA come in after the draft.

I remember that being discussed during the new CBA negotiations but I thought that wasn't agreed to. If anyone has the facts one way or the other it sure would be appreciated.

Thanks, I'll adjust accordingly.

I was being sarcastic. It seems every low level signing gets complaints by many posters.

Oh so Beane doesn't sign Dupree or Judon but he brings this guys in for a look! (Am I doing this right?)

Bills needed to sign 25 more guys. Now the need to sign 24 more. Depth competition from a guy like this is fine with me.

It just seems to me the easiest way to improve the offensive weapons. I'm fairly confident that the offense will work on run blocking during camp much more than they did last year too.

Thanks for the info about Aligretti. I figured they have to have someone with previous Center experience. If he doesn't start they at least got some depth at C. I know Austin Reiter want to finally make some $ but do you see a way that he re-signs with the Chiefs?

It's one of the intriguing things about Javonte Williams. I'm not a huge college fan but he is one I want to know more about.

Thanks Zero for giving an honest assessment of their OL. I'm sure the Chief are going to the draft and will be adding in the end of FA. I got a question. Is there any vet Guards right now on the Chief that have Center experience? I don't see any but it seems a decent option if they do to start the season. As a Bills fan my hope is that it takes a while for this almost completely new line to learn to work together. As a Chiefs fan I'm sure once the 5 are determined you hope the C and T's stay healthy cuz there isn't a lot of depth there. Like I said before when it comes to who has improved or not concerning the Bills/Chiefs I will wait till they final 53.

If you want to see concern look at KC's OL. If those players were the Bills OL this board would melt down. I asked multiple poster about this (ones who keep talking about who improved or not) and got zero answers back. Like I said I'll wait until the end to make my evaluation. Sort by position..... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/cap/

Some are sarcastic, some are trolling and some are really freaking out like they always do. I'm waiting until the final rosters to see what changes happened to make a comparison.

Bills are going to need some sort of running game to stop teams from pinning their ears back and rushing Josh.

Yes. The AFC East plays the NFLC East this year. Bills/WFT I like the Pats playing Dallas and the Chiefs playing Green Bay! No one has said yet but I'm sure it will be scattered around.
