  1. I read your post to be a general question about who I would want added. DK Metcalf
  2. Last year, with the Titans, he had 75 catches for 1000+ yards, 7 TDs . Rumours of his career's demise are premature
  3. At this point it is hope and speculation at best. But if @Einstein's Dog's numbers are even approximately correct , DHop is an acquirable target who can materially assist the team for this and next season with a manageable price tag. I would like a younger player like DK Metcalf or Aiyuk but it will be a large impact on cap for next few years which will again limit the ability to sign FAs in the coming seasons. Imo, Beane has learned his lessons on that . My guess is that if we are going to add anyone, go after DHop and slightly overpay from a draft pick perspective. That will provide a solid veteran presence , round off the skill set and allow time for Coleman to mature. We can always draft another WR high next year and keep the funnel full. Shavers, Claypool, Cephus, Hamler are dispensable. if we are going to limit the WR room to 6, the following is a good set DHop Samuel Shakir Coleman MVS One of Hollins and Shorter
  4. Please dont say "ground up and in the freezer" in front of him
  5. Coleman hasn't played a down yet. We all hope he plays well but there is no guarantee. And even if he is good, he is still a rookie. You may trust the WR room today, I don't.
  6. So you totally ignored the fact that Hopkins is just 31 . For a RB that's the end of the road but not for a WR. Plus he posted a 1000 yard season on that Titans team. I don't know if the Titans will trade him but if they are willing, the Bills should get him. Gives him the opportunity to play another 2-3 years and ride away into the sunset with rings. Why are you freaking out about that ? Many, including me, believe that we need another good WR and the off season isn't done yet
  7. Some players handle the off season very badly. I know I am supposed to wait for the facts to come out but two alleged incidents in a few weeks is not good
  8. With the injuries and rotating door of players next to Oliver, it was tough for any DE to make an impact. If we have consistent pressure from the middle, I think we will see an excellent year from Rousseau and AJE. not sure yet how Von Miller will come back from injury
  9. They don't have a good track record of reclamation projects esp at the WR position. Sure he can be cut but imo it's wasted effort. For someone who couldn't translate his abilities into performance with 2 teams, it is very unlikely that the Bills will succeed. And takes away coaching time on a plan with low chance of success.
  10. He ended today with two TDs catches in 7-on-7 drills. Fit him for a gold jacket as soon as the over reactions one way or the other end
  11. I am more interested in seeing how he stands up to the LOS bumping and aggressive tackling of NFL DBs. Does his body hold up? Will he keep holding on to the ball after hits? I didn't wish injury on anyone of course but the small frame will be an issue. I think he will still make a few highlight plays, hopefully not against us
  12. Good idea to try. But I think one a day is too much. Call it QOW(eek) instead and choose a day. Tuesday, Wednesday are good because there is no football on those days during the season. In!
  13. Beane did go down that route last year with Harty, Sherfield with terrible results. As others have stated here, once the Tre money comes in, it will be possible to sign DK while giving up a pick or two next year. My guess is that with so many WRs coming into the league this year, he won't command a Rd1 pick. I am holding out hope that he chooses a vet WR like DK who can make a big difference and set a firm floor for the WR room while raising the ceiling. We all hope that Coleman is good in his rookie season but that's hope and not a strategy.
  14. We spent almost a decade saying this about TBrady and the Patriots** yet they kept winning and spanking our rears on their way to the rings. At least now we have a great QB so instead of waiting for the Chiefs to magically wither away freakily get bounced from the playoffs too early, we should out gun them, fighting fire with bigger fire. We have to take them down in the playoffs, there is no other way.
  15. Thats not clear but imo, the pass catchers on the Bills right now are better than those for the Chiefs last year I totally disagree with you. We are still missing one WR piece. No amount of comparison of this years versus last years players will convince me otherwise. We may have stocked up on overall receivers who can catch the same number of passes, but we still dont have the required element of speed. Yet again, we will be relying on Allen buying time to wait until someone deep gets open. Good progress this off season but not enough. Also, @eball your thread is a repeat and you could have added to this one instead:
  16. Evans (over Moulds because I think he was faster) Schobel These are the key remaining gaps on this team
  17. If this guy can produce on the field, he will become one of the top 3 favorite players around the league due to his demeanour and almost child-like innocence. Don't ever change, kid.
  18. and ends casually with "...really its just that.." Tell me again that he is a rookie and only 20 years old
  19. No, he pretty much said he doesn't like NOLA food 🙁
  20. So how many endorsements is that ? Macy's, Subway, Andy's ice cream, Dairy Queen... But he doesn't like Gumbo - friggin bust pick by Beane! 😡
  21. I said with good hands too 😃 Guy hasn't amounted to much in his career and we cannot rely on him to be the missing piece. It's a total folly to think our WR room is complete
  22. Can Brady use the ones on our roster effectively? Imo, yes based on last few games he was the OC. Is that receiver room adequate? Absolutely not. We need at least one vet and/or speedy WR with good hands. Otherwise the overall offense is going to be limited and again dependent on Allen's superman efforts
  23. This question has been more than adequately answered by @Beck Water @GunnerBilland @Thrivefourfive. I am sensing that you are looking for some sort of support that Kincaid is that player. He isn't and shouldn't be. We need a WR who is fast enough and gains separation down the field to challenge defenses. Kincaid will be a good one but not a substitute. Just because the Chiefs made it work (more out of necessity) doesn't mean we should strive to emulate them
