This is why

First things first. Go and sign Micah Hyde in the cheap. We don’t even have to discuss how to bolster our roster as Hyde would be a big addition to a weak spot without really doubt anything. Garrett? Forget about it. Plug our weak spots. We did an amazing job grabbing Rasul for cheap in free agency. Make a good trade for somebody and fee up some space and fill our seal spots. Garrett would be great. We don’t have the money.

100%. You don’t get a 4-time pro bowler and not put him at the X, when your best guy Shakir is a second year, natural slot guy and you traded away last season’s #1 and #2 guys. Frankly it’s a travesty the Bill’s have gone this long with Josh at QB without a top 10 #1 and #2 combo at WR. We’d have had 2 super bowls by now.

Imo he’s overtly playing off how excited he is, as not to pencil Amari in over other existing roster players. Read between the lines on this one. “We have players in the building who…” nope. He wants to keep everybody happy, but the wet-blanket act is just that imo. Amari coming in and taking the #1 spot because we have nobody capable of doing so until proven otherwise.

We also have a heck of a surrounding cast at TE, and the rest of our WR stable as well as at RB. Should help get him open.

Yeah and I’m not sure that Brady was sure what to do in the NFL without both a legit #1 and #2 WR. The guy had better receivers at LSU than the Bills have in Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson and it’s not even close. Trying to scheme an offense with zero downfield threats and a Ferrari of a QB is challenging to say the least. Now I hope Keon can become a good # 2 and Shakir do what he does best in the slot. Beane needs to get Allen two downfield threats at all times.

Amari is excellent but more importantly will command a shift in defensive assignments. Will free up all our other guys at different levels because we had no real downfield threat and Keon is only a rook. Bottom line is signing. Amari should make everybody else more dangerous in their proper roles. We definitely still miss another top caliber WR and downfield threat but hopefully the brass sees what Josh needs out there.

Dang at 56 he chose quite a number to live up to.

Claypool is big, fast and very talented. He’s also still young enough to maybe grow out of the knucklehead phase and mature a bit. He also now has a QB and can compete for a roll here. I like this move. Inexpensive with potential for high yield if the kid decides to step it up.

Our WR stable.

Simple question that answers it all. Where does our #1, #2 and # 3 WR rank amongst NFL rankings for WR’s? It’s an important question. We run a majority passing offense with one of the best QB’s in the league, and formerly one the better offenses. Extrapolate that out and the answer is simple.

We are down our #1 and #2 receivers, one of whom was Stefon Diggs, a real matchup problem for defenses. Right now we have replaced them with a second round rookie draft pick and Curtis Samuel. As of now, our #1 and #2 WR’s have a grand total of 4 NFL receiving TD’s last season. I think everybody has a right to be concerned as we don’t have any proven downfield scoring threats on the corners to open the field up. I’m not saying Coleman won’t be good in time, or even as a rookie but we have one of the best QB’s in the nfl and without many threats at the wr position; teams are gonna give us a much shorter field for our RB’s TE and slot to work in. I’m still hoping we make a big free agent Hail Mary somewhere along the way but not sure if that’s in the cards.

I remind all that the Patriots won a ton of superbowls, without wide receivers half as good as these. We also have the secret sauce of the two amazing tight ends that we do. Add the 4th leading RB I. The leave and new additions. I think we are gonna be more than fine.

His running is actually really fluid too. Doesn’t run like a lineman.

Plenty of 7th rounders are throwaways, but nice to see an absolute physical specimen that is right now just raw materials. Guy can move like a tight end at 6’7” 300+. Kid ran a 4.79 which is incredible and clocked above 20mph as well. Great type of guy to have on practice squad and develop and see what he can become. Will need strength and a lot to learn but a good gamble to take this late.
