The Bills are on the clock: Pick 33
Generic_Bills_Fan replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Butttt they could’ve gotten Mitchell at 28 and everyone would’ve been fine with it haha how is it a nightmare of a draft getting extra free pick upgrades and the same guy that everyone was cool with taking earlier 😂 -
I don’t think worthy is quite the prospect Devonta smith was even if neither guy breaks in half lol. He doesn’t have the same release ability and isn’t gonna be as good catching balls in traffic I mean it’s easy to play the what if game in either direction right now lol. Beane finds gems in the day 2 range and they gifted us an earlier pick there. I think these knee jerk reactions are just mahomes trade spillover honestly, if anyone got played it’s probably the chiefs. ‘kicks our ass’ is a bit of a stretch haha
-
I agree with a lot of this and vehemently disagree with the key point…I don’t think beane should give any amount of hoots what the optics are if it helps the team lol. You’ve gotta trust your evaluations, you don’t pass up on an opportunity because you might’ve gotten the evaluations wrong 😂 national media are idiots caught up in the narrative if they can’t see that.
-
I genuinely don’t get this…any of those wrs left late 1st/still available early 2nd have the chance to be the best of that bunch and we moved up a decent amount of spots later in the draft and will get a guy likely every bit as good with our first pick. There’s a decent shot worthy would’ve still been there at 32 for the chiefs and they downgraded a pick for nothing. even bigger chance chiefs traded up to get a bust
-
Mahomes and his wrs were out of sync pretty much all season weren’t they lol I think this chiefs wrs season is pretty strong evidence that maybe offseason camps is too much football to use the bills as an example, someone like Gabe Davis played on the team for years and was still consistently on the wrong page. Idk how much an unofficial throw the ball around type get together could’ve possibly helped 😂 then you’ve got your Stefon Diggs types that are closer to hitting a mental wall if they’re overworked and it can be a negative thing. I do think josh did extra work with Kincaid last offseason
-
Mixed bag I’d say…overall it’s bad but ‘unmitigated disaster’ is a stretch imo. They got 5 current starters all in the good-great range that year (shakir,cook,Bernard,benford,Daquan jones) von is complicated, if he had underwhelmed his whole time here I’d put 100% of the blame on beane but von was an absolute beast pre injury. Maybe he bounces back a bit, time will tell. Tre was virtually useless the season after his knee injury and looked exponentially better the season after that
-
Last year even some of his big games were horribly inefficient imo. When you’re getting 16 targets against the giants, you’d expect more than 100 receiving yards and 0 tds I’d think. that stretch of Jax-Tampa where stuff went really sideways for the offense was too many Diggs targets with too little return imo. A lot of his damage against Jax was with the game pretty much over already I really don’t understand why they did this for this reason lol like they got a good deal for diggs but there’s a nonzero chance it blows up on them
-
I agree with that this and for that reason can’t imagine things will go better for him in Houston after the honeymoon period is over I think you could make the case hes the third best receiver there right now
-
Bills even with their struggles probably win 14+ games playing a last place afc south schedule last year without Diggs lol
-
Looking backwards to what diggs used to be makes it a bad trade, if you extrapolate diggs’ 2023 finish to this season it’s a good trade…his value would’ve tanked. Nobody would’ve taken him on and we would’ve been tied up with a mentally checked out 30+ year old wr A lot of the review depends on how diggs plays this season and even if he has a bounce back year with Houston we’ll never know for sure if that would’ve happened here.
-
Oh yea I don’t mean he’s gonna have public outbursts, it seems like his fire is gone and he’s just goin through the motions when someone else is featured in the offensive gameplan. He just seemed less willing to fight through jams/make contested catches whenever I’d be watching him…could be anecdotal/wishful thinking now that he’s gone for sure though 😂
-
I think each pass that someone not named diggs catches cuts into diggs’ personal motivation a small percentage lol it’s gonna happen pretty quickly in Houston In public statements though he’ll be a good teammate to try to disprove the diva label but over time that will fall by the wayside too
-
I don’t think diggs is the same when he’s not the main dude though which seems to be the issue imo…I’m really interested to see what happens in Houston where he likely isn’t the first option putting him on a team with other great offensive weapons seems to take away from diggs somehow 😂. Just my opinion though
