Narrator: "It wasn't" No offense to the Bills Media or anything here but this happens every year. Our bottom talent guys aren't going to suddenly become meaningful players because they went through another Bills training camp. The guys that elevate themselves from their status are like 1/100, you maybe see 10 across the entire NFL each year.

I really liked Tim Patrick pre-injury. I think he'd probably be an upgrade over a lot our bottom choices (including Mac Hollins as a pure receiver). He's at least as good as MVS is today. That being said, Hollins is not going anywhere. I've never seen a bottom WR get more media play than him from the team.

All the single moms:

I could definitely kick him in the ass. Whether or not I'd be able to get away is another story...

Zach Wilson might get cut from the Broncos, I'm not saying he's good but he's better than Mitch. Mike White or Bailey Zappe are also possibilities I guess.

Knowing my friends in the Buffalo league, he will be gone by round 6-7.

I like Shakir more than Samuel after the turf toe thing. My leagues are drafting this weekend. One is a Buffalo league, so Bills players are always massively inflated. The other is friends from around the country, so I might be able to snag him (I'm really looking to get Kincaid in this league).

Why would we trade away high end speed when the team is desperately lacking it? For all the fans clamoring for more weapons, I can't imagine trading one of our best options to keep defenses honest...

We were there before the Miller injury. Ed Oliver came into his own last season, but we need better outside pressure. Hopefully Miller is at least serviceable this season, and Rousseau leaps forward.

He's on the edge of being cut by TN, so like a 6th and we get a 7th in return.

I would just trade for Malik Willis. He can probably be gotten for cheap at this point and he's certainly has more upside. I'll take a backup QB who can run over a failed first rounder any day of the week.

I've come to terms with the idea that the Bills just all in on the Kincaid/Knox idea, with Kincaid being the "guy". A lot of very good teams have had success with this model, but we basically need Coleman to break out into something very good to special.

Having or not having MVS really shouldn't be a determining factor on whether or not we win any games. I'm surprised that they basically confirmed he's making the team. Samuel being healthy to play is big though. He's had his best career years with Brady, so I'm cautiously optimistic he could do very well here.

I agree with a lot of that, but the "Coleman is legit" narrative doesn't have much going for it yet. I want him to be great. He has one of the best personalities you can have in a WR. He has every opportunity right now to come out the gate as a major contributor, but we haven't seen it in the preseason and there hasn't been a ton of practice buzz either. Fingers crossed though.

I think this is kind of where I land. McD absolutely deserves to be a head coach, but he's been responsible for some of the weirdest losses in NFL history, and he can't maximize what's truly made the team a threat the last 5 years, Allen. It seems like poor asset management to have a defensive head coach when you have a true top 5 QB, so I'd be okay moving on just because of that. An Allen led team has a floor of about 10 wins, in my opinion. How much has McD elevated us beyond that?

Coleman: I hate to say it but the expectations on him are going to be huge. It's not really his fault, it's just the situation he's been thrust into. If he doesn't flash brightly at camp, the sky is going to start falling. Center: This is quietly a big worry of mine. Interior pressure is the best way to throw Allen (and almost any QB) off his game. If we don't have a rock solid center from day 1 it could really mess things up offensively.

The memes are going to be horrific if Coleman doesn't end up hitting. I think they'll be fine, but it'll likely be Packers post Adams "fine". Which is a nice way of saying the QB propping up a bunch of dudes.

I really like the Shout! podcast and Matt Parrino, but I would take his opinion with a hefty dose of salt. He always falls in love with guys who realistically never had a shot at making the roster and talks them up a lot.

Host the draft on a flotilla on the Niagara. First round picks on the maid of the mist.

They could have traded him and got a big return, but I get it.

Signing a super elite WR before you have the QB room in hand seems like putting the cart before the horse, but what do I know? Without a massive salary cap increase, I don't see how this WR trend is tenable.

Except this is a high level athlete with a background in a correlate skill, as there is some crossover in skillset with wrestling and O/D Line technique. We're not going out and signing a pole vaulter.

This situation happens every day to all sorts of people in all sorts of professions. Maybe it's not fair but it is the way it is. You can work hard at something all your life and your peak might not be as good as someone who just picked it up. I played a club sport at a high level after college and convinced my brother in law to try out for the team I was on. Not only did he make it, he ended up higher on the roster than me because of his excellent athletic skill, despite me playing the game for 10+ years. I wasn't salty though, it's just the reality of the situation.

You get 90 guys and you know 15-20 of them essentially have zero shot to make the team. You might as well fill those spaces with insane athletic talent and see if you get surprised. The Bills have a whole lot of lotto ticket players at camp and if 1-2 of them hit Beane will end up looking like a genius. Zero risk, so go for it.

My dad became a gambling addict late in life and spent a ton of money before ultimately dying on a bender after disappearing for weeks. He left my mother in a very, very rough place financially and now she'll likely have to work until she dies. I had to step in and pay off the last of her mortgage, which has had reverberating effects where I'm now 5-10 years behind financially compared to my peers. Because of this I'm personally against gambling and I try to stay away from it. I don't think it's healthy for it to be promoted so heavily, and I'm not a fan of it becoming such a huge sponsor of basically every sport, but I do think it's better to be legal and regulated than pushed out of sight where people can be exploited.
