if they had traded away Darby and Watkins for only the draft picks then maybe you could say he's only looking into the future but they got decent players and draft picks which says to me that they want to win now and build for the future...Mathews is a good WR that can play the outside but just plays the slot better...Gaines had a decent rookie year and then had an injury and bad year just like Darby did, the difference is I'm assuming McD sees Gaines playing more to the style he wants and Darby not so much...everyone keeps saying the Bills got worse and not better when actually in my view it was just a lateral move...Buffalo had the 10th ranked offense last year without Watkins and a WR core that was dreadful...they have a much better WR core this year with Boldin, Mathews and Jones...ppl are going to say "but last year we had Goodwin that could go deep"...sure he went deep but couldn't catch a ball unless it fell in his hands...lots of teams have deep threat guys that didn't run at burning speeds...I feel Mathews will be easier to re-sign next year then Watkins would have been, and cheaper...also I see Mathews as taking over the slot for Boldin next year if he doesn't re-sign with Bills...Bills can draft a speedy deep threat next draft and have a great WR group
