It would've not only cost us this years draft, but also next years to go and get one of the big three at WR The correct play was to then shift to reloading the roster and use the cap space and even better draft capital next season to go and get that big time player that can be a game changer. Anyone who thinks we should have sold the farm for one of the top three would be groaning when the team has no young talent or depth once they falter yet again in the playoffs. We had a top WR and it didn't get us anything but playoff disappointment. You need a complete team with depth along with some playmakers to truly contend. I think the plan is to retool this season, and then go all in in 2025 again with a big time addition on offense and defense. With a hopefully strong draft class this season, we will be in a prime spot to challenge again with another superbowl window wide open.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
He has tape where he's beaten guys He ran a slant and go where the got the DB to bite and then got past him, and he has other plays where DB's held or grabbed him cause he had them beat. He threatens the defense at all levels, so corners will be susceptible to plays where he get's DB's to bite, and if they try to jam him or press him, he will win at the line and get open. Alot of posters are going to eat crow on this kid. He's a baller that has tremendous skills and a strong basketball background that helps him have outstanding body control, shiftiness, and the ability to box out and win jump balls/contested catches. -
I think Beane is not getting enough props for adding a piece to every single group on both sides of the ball. This is an infusion of youth everywhere on the roster. We are now a younger team that has good depth pretty much everywhere. We may need a gamechanger or two, but now at least you reloaded the roster with promising young players, and next season we will have cap space and even better draft capital to make a power move or two should we have a glaring need. I like the approach, and we'll see how good McDermott and his staff really are given the makeup of the roster

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Coleman has more wiggle and can be more effective in short areas like screens and slants, but I do see some similarities -
It's just a bad look to do business with KC, that's all it really is If you had to bet who outsmarted who, most people would bet on KC My guess is worthy will produce the occasional big play when he can actually get on the field...which may not be often if you are going off of history regarding small speedsters in the league In that case, the Bills would appear to have outsmarted KC, but I suppose we'll see how it pans out

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yet he was returning punts and shows plenty of agility on film. The guy was a highly regarded basketball player. -
Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
The reason Higgins lasted till he did was his 40 time, and the same is true with Coleman. He has exceeded his draft status, and if you did a redraft he would be a first rounder. The same thing could be the case with our guy here -
He's not slow, though The film doesn't lie They said Jerry Rice was slow, too FWIW

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
If that's what you got out of that footage, then you don't know what your watching. For starters...the majority of his targets were screen passes to get the ball in his hands immediately. Secondly, in numerous targets the QB would just throw the ball up for him even when he was covered by multiple defenders or he wasn't the intended target. He was often used as a bailout by the QB because he wins matchups/jump balls often. Thirdly, he had guys beat multiple times and he either got past them and wasn't caught, or they held/grabbed him and he drew a penalty flag. Watching his footage tells me a few things. One is that Coleman was the focal point of their offense and teams regarded him as such. That means he is already accustomed to the role of top dog that draws attention. Next is that Jordan Travis is not impressive as a passer. He made numerous bad throws to Coleman, and he relied on Coleman to bail him out way too much. His backup did Coleman little favors as well which explains the dip in numbers after Travis went down. Third is that teams respect Colemans ability to hurt them in all phases. He can take screen passes and turn them into big plays...he runs good slants and can also turn those into big plays, and he can get deep and beat you there as well. If Brady uses this guy right, and runs this offense like it's supposed to be with Josh making quick decisions and hitting whoever is open, then Coleman will be a weapon. -
Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree wholeheartedly, and I have zero doubt that Beane did his homework and saw this too. It also explains why he looks like he plays faster on the field. And please don't forget his basketball background, and how that will play into his game as a receiver. This kid is going to be fun to watch, and his teammates are going to love him. -

BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
He definitely plays faster than what his 40 indicates. The basketball background shows and he is relatively smooth and fluid. The hands are just top notch. Couple that with his attitude and work ethic and I fully expect this kid to be productive. The greatest receiver was considered slow, too. It's all about how you work and how much of a competitor you are. Having Josh Allen helps, too -

Guys of his build just don't hold up He will be dangerous when available, but it's likely that he is often not available -

Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Round 1 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)
BeastMaster replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Let's be clear here...Worthy is no Tyreek Hill I wanted a deep threat to open up things, but there are other guys that can do what Worthy does We'll see if he holds up at the NFL level. History says these guys are continuously hurt, and he's as tiny as it gets -

BeastMaster replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I liked Worthy due to his elite speed that nobody in this draft comes close to, but I'm OK with the trade back Deep draft class, and there are numerous wideouts left that have alot of potential -

No big deal Plenty of wideouts available that are much more ready to contribute -
Rumor: Bills trying aggressively to move up for a WR in round one
BeastMaster replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
No pick is guaranteed to be a starter Picks are just more lottery tickets If you believe you can trade a few in for the best shot at the best prize, then maybe it's worth it. Not saying I am for it or against it, but I can see why a team might make the move -
Brian Thomas Jr is not a master of anything in terms of catching the football, but I digress. Legette is an AJ Brown type. He doesn't need to blow by guys because he's physical enough to win matchups. I see the pros and cons to both, but I think your a little bit blinded by Brian Thomas' splash plays, which were in many cases he was wide open

Lance Zierlein: Bills should draft 2 WR in the first 3 rounds
BeastMaster replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
With our need for WR help, and this class being deep at the position, I would have no issue using both picks on receivers. Let McDermott work with some holes on his side of the ball for a change. It's his unit that has failed to get the job done when it matters most while having everything he asked for, so he should have to suck it up this season -
I have a similar view on him. I could be wrong, and I hope I am if the Bills draft him, but I see a kid that might not be built to be the guy at WR...which is what will be expected of him from the fans...especially if we trade up and use more draft capital on him than just pick 28. I actually would have been more inclined to draft him had we kept Diggs so he could be brought along slowly without major expectations in 2024. This kid will have an insane amount of pressure on him to perform out the gate, and Josh's prime will be dependent on him developing also. I just don't think it's a good move given the current state of this team.

Jayden Daniels with Nabers drawing the best corner with safety help. The film shows alot of him being wide open or catching a screen pass that he turned into a big gainer. I will say this...he's an unknown...which means boom or bust. There's things he has in his favor, and things he has going against him. I could live with drafting him at 28, but I can't get on board with giving up a 2nd rounder to move up for him
-
Trading up in this rich WR draft for a kid that is as raw as they come is a terrible move We need to infuse this team with more talent, and we need to give Josh someone to help him out immediately A trade up for Thomas II would take away precious draft capital, and he wouldn't be a reliable weapon until he develops
-
He was able to utilize his athletic skills to beat defenses. He also had maybe the best QB coming out of college and Nabers opposite him to leave him one on one against the weaker DB. He has no route tree and suspect hands. He also hasn't shown much in terms of toughness either. NFL defenses will lock him up if he doesn't learn how to be a wideout. I'm not opposed to drafting him at 28, but he does not provide much help this upcoming season IMO unless he takes some major steps in development. I'll hope I'm wrong if the Bills select him because it would be criminal to waste another year of Allen's prime
-
Worthy has explosiveness that nobody else has in this draft, and he will be gone early second at best. In a perfect world, we trade back and get Worthy and Coleman or Legette, but I'm fine taking him at 28. If you want Thomas II as your guy, you are giving Josh Allen little to no help for next season because he's not ready to play against NFL defenses, and he may never be.
