Saleh should already be gone. JD has put together a very good team, although they've had terrible luck at the most important position.

I said it before and I'll say it again: He's going to be bad this year and go off on some RFK brain worm riddled conspiracy theory onto how it isn't his fault. He has a massive ego that's not going to let him be humble, and the NY media is going to exacerbate the situation 10 fold. It's a perfect storm for Bills fans.

I'd say anything the Bills can get out of him is a bonus, and not to be expected. Elam is going to have to perform astonishingly well in camp to see any meaningful time on the field. I wouldn't bet on it. We should all be thankful that we took Benford and that he's become a decent CB2.

Sign Hyde back for a vet minimum deal, save the rest for when an impact player suddenly becomes available via trade, EDGE and WR are strong candidates.

Must be nice to know you have a product that is basically a "sure thing". I can't really see any way that the NFL makes less money or gets less popular moving forward.

This is so overdramatic for a guy who stands to make essentially a vet minimum salary. He has zero leverage to "be a cancer" at any point in training camp or the regular season. He's a big, fast guy with good hands. Are you trying to say that the Bills should be more invested in character than athletic ability? It's been one of the major criticisms of the Bills since McD took over.

There's no real pressure either way with Claypool, and I think that's the best thing about the signing. The Bills have made practically zero investment, so they can wash their hands of him if they don't like him or his attitude in camp. It's the definition of a low-risk high-reward, and it's exactly who you want in a training camp. I think it's funny some of the people I hear against the Claypool signing are also Justin Shorter truthers.

Considering some of the allegations against him he probably should be in jail. He had every opportunity to seek help if he's having mental health issues. Having a mental health crisis doesn't excuse your actions, as much as it might explain them.

The nepotism in the NFL is wild. Don't get me wrong, nepotism is everywhere. It's amazing that a guy like Hackett, who should be an OC of a D3 football team at this point, is still getting chances. He basically destroyed the Broncos franchise.

Somebody should tell Beane that three WR3s doesn't make a WR1. I don't hate the MVS signing. In a vacuum it's fine, but we're using our whole paycheck on scratch offs and expecting a big payout. MVS could work out, but he's played with elite QBs his whole career and still had drop issues.

If we could sign Metcalf that would a huge win in my opinion. We'd need to extend him in order to drop the cap hit though, and that might be pricy.

Does it make Bills fans feel worse about the Coleman pick knowing that the Team that highly drafted N'Keal Harry and Tyquan Thorton wanted him?

Brandon Beane:

Claypool... I don't hate it. He's the living embodiment of low risk / high reward. He has every physical tool to succeed, he just needs to put in the effort. I doubt that this is his wake up call, but if it is he'll be home run. I still want a more "sure thing" roster lock, but this is excellent competition or at the very worst, practice squad depth.

Considering Miami is going to be under water in ~20 years, I don't know that he made a wise decision.

It didn't help that he picked the opposite option route that Allen was looking for so consistently. That might have been the single most frustrating part of his game to me. Remember that time Allen got called for grounding because Davis chose the wrong route? Has that ever even happened to any other QB in the modern NFL?

I don't think that unrealistic at all, honestly. Allen has had MVP buzz ever since 2020. Last season he didn't get it due to turnovers. I expect his TOs to drop now that Gabe Davis isn't on the team and Coleman is. 10-12 wins is where they've been right around every season since 2020. The last two playoff matchups against the Chiefs has gone to the wire. They're not significantly better than us, despite what the agitated fanbase here is going to tell you.

- Bills go 12-5, Allen gets a MVP because the narrative is that they took away his weapons and they still were very successful. - Aaron Rodgers breaks down (physically, but probably mentally too), Jets win 7 games. - The Patriots get a Wildcard spot - Miami falls apart as the offense is found out, but they continue to beat up on bad teams. Tua is still signed to a 45+ Million a year contract. - Bills get to the AFC championship, beating the Chiefs in the divisional round.

I went with Coleman, and I went with him solely because I think Kincaid and Knox are going to split way more time then anyone on this board is thinking.

I was told in the Keon Coleman thread that Beane should be fired for listening to Allen because he wasn't a scout though...

I think you can get similar production to what you'd expect from Jones with cheaper players that are already on the roster. If we need someone to jump out of a window naked though then he's our guy.

I seriously doubt anyone would be worried about this if we had drafted BTJ instead of Coleman. If there were "tell all" analytics that could be used to accurately predict NFL success then we wouldn't have debates about who is the better prospect.

You don’t want your all star QB to give feedback on what receivers he thinks would make him the most successful? You think it’s so bad, in fact, that the GM should be fired for listening to his most valuable asset? Sorry, I just don’t see the logic.

This is where I'm at with the pick. It seems like Allen had a lot of influence on who he thought would fit best into this new Brady offense, so I'm going to defer to him and trust that they've made a good decision. Time will tell but I can't pretend to know better than Josh freakin' Allen about WRs.
