There's some great, in-depth WR talk in here (around pages 6-9), if anyone is looking for more info on some of these guys and links to videos.

For anyone upset about Diggs not speaking to the media: What are you looking for him to say? And can't you already predict the exact player-speak and platitudes he'd say anyways? Why is it so important for Diggs, or any player, to say anything after that game? "We missed some opportunities. We'd love to have those plays back. We were happy with how we moved the ball and then fell short. Will be tough to deal with this in the offseason, but we'll use it as fuel and come back stronger next year." Blahblahblah... There ya go. Absolutely worthless filler. Same as all the other postgame interviews. Pretend I have cornrows and now you'll feel better. Oh my god, you Sensitive Sallys need to build a bridge and get over it already. You have no idea what he was saying and in what context. We've seen plenty of times that JOSH, Diggs, and others get heated/pumped in order to pump up the rest of the team. Josh was in a bad lull that game and needed to snap out of it. Josh has gotten over it. So should you.

Realistically, I expect McD to move back to HC, promote Washington or Babich to DC, and probably hire Brady as OC. And Smiley stays on ST and gets a chance with a HC helping out. That is, imo, minimal changes on a staff that needs change but wont change much.

Anyone feel a way about another postseason played in vain just to end up with the 28th pick instead of a shot at the talent available at 17 or 18? I'll be keeping an eye on the Bengals at 18 to see who they pick to replace Higgins, and essentially steal away from us.

Haha, made ya look it up! But he is in his 20s and would be in his 20s when re-signed in FA. Mostly just joking, but I do think it adds to my value argument. With the amount of openings on the DL, we can bring him back in cheap AND still get younger via the other free agents and draft picks. I'm assuming we'll draft at least 1 DE and 1 DT.

Shaq is in his 20s 🤷‍♂️

Whatever you took to ease the pain from last night I think you took a bit too much.

Shaq Lawson at $1.3M is a good value for our DE4 spot

It's been a while since me and Bease have seen eye to eye on anything, but I agree with what he is saying here about Gabe. He's best off on the Free Agent market, but I have a feeling the team will miss him. AND I hate the fact that fans were classless enough to heckle Davis and any of our own players after that game.

Between Burrow around 55, Chase in the high 20s, and Higgins in the low/mid 20s, they'd have $100M tied up between 3 players. The Modern NFL!

Frankly I dont know that I'd do it either. I just always throw that option out in discussion since folks have a tough enough time accepting that we need to move on from a beloved player. I just dont know what all our options are or what an injury settlement looks like.

Good to see Isabella coming back too.

Crazy not a single Defensive play was mentioned by OP. Such as the absolutely BLOWN coverage on Kelce's TD where Poyer for some reason decided to jump the underneath route and let Kelce run right by him since the Chiefs never throw to Kelce anyways.

He cant come back at his current contract tho. No matter how well he recovers, he simply wont be worth anywhere near $16M.

The Ravens won the games they were supposed to win and earned it.

Depending on how his medicals look, I'd offer him something like a 3yr/$18M with $10M guaranteed. Might be worth bringing him back as a $6M guy who can be easily cut. Definitely not at his current $16M price tho.

Absolutely, I'm still all for adding another top WR into the mix. Hopefully someone that can push Diggs down to WR2.

Josh Allen, like Mahomes and Brady, is a good enough QB to get you a shot at making the Divisional round every year on his own. The main difference is the other two QBs were also complimented by a Head Coach who can take a team over the next hump from the Divisional round to a Super Bowl victory. The Bills do not have that guy wearing a headset right now.

Diggs has also shown me enough over the previous seasons to believe his core body injury was/is more significant than he let on, and hope he can come back closer to previous form next year before I even think about moving on.

Ha! Floyd is a mercenary tho so I don't expect anything else from him. All fair. Not like he was drafted here and has ties to the team.

Same season he and Shaq smack-talked the Titans OL into a couple of bad penalties, securing us a win in a tight 14-7 game. Good times.

We should absolutely look to see who else is out there and not just hand him the job, but I dont see many better candidates jumping off the screen, and I also don't knock Brady for some of the issues that come with inheriting a flawed system from an incompetent OC. I also agree with Rousseau that McD is a good Defensive Coordinator and would do well working under a true Head Coach.

If all of those WRs go before our pick, and Cooper DeJean is sitting there, then DeJean is absolutely our best pick. And I dont want a DB in the 1st. But reality is reality. Go DeJean and then WRs in the 2nd and 4th.

Look up the drafts on Wikipedia and see the WRs selected recently in rounds 1 and 2. If a WR is taken top 10 (certainly top 5) then they usually produce well right away. But once you get into that #15-#50 range, it's far more hit or miss (with a lot of misses). For every star WR you remember, there are a couple picked right after him that are like "oh yeah, who is that guy again?"

Watch tape of Cooper DeJean to see a player who McD would cream his jeans to get. Unfortunately, now that we've landed at 28, DeJean will likely be long gone by then. And I cant justify a trade up for a Safety. But that kid would completely transform our Defense. He's a Troy Polamalu, doesnt have a real position just let him run wild, type player.
