Shakir catches that ball. Kincaid catches that ball. Knox drops it.

What are you talking about guy? I said to do what it takes to TRADE UP and get him. I know he wouldn't have been there at 60. That's why I said we could have gone a different route at S and DT because it would have taken our 3rd, and maybe another pick, to move up to get Coleman.

What it boils down to is the Bills supposed Draft Board. They valued and wanted Coleman above anyone else at #33. After that, there was no WR they saw as worthy of the draft slot they were in at the time. Do I agree with their board? No. I would have taken Legette at #32 instead of trading out. Then, if I wanted Coleman, I would have done what it took to trade up in the 2nd to get him. I believe this team could have gone a different route afterwards to address S and DT because the 2nd would have still been spent on Coleman and the 3rd would likely have been involved. The whole draft could have been different. This was the year to double dip at the top end for WR's, especially in light of our current situation. They didn't. They kept it par for the course. It was quite disappointing.

Who didn't see that statement coming?

The Dolphins offense is still going to be tough if they can stay healthy. The Jets added some pieces to the OL, another quality WR prospect, another battering ram RB, and are getting a healthy Rodgers back. The Patriots are in full blown rebuild mode, but beat us last year with far inferior talent and Mac freakin Jones at QB. This past season it took a 6 game run just to win the division. This year we play the NFC West (SF, Rams, and a should be much improved AZ squad), the AFC South (the upstart Texans, Indy with A. Rich back, a Jax team that always gives us trouble), our 6 division games, KC, Detroit, and Baltimore. This schedule is gonna suck. At some point you have to realize the way you've been trying to operate doesn't work. At some point you have to be able to adapt. To repeat the same cycle year after year with a generational talent at QB is madness. At some point the owner has to say it and hit the reset button. I think the next two years are make or break. If we haven't gotten to the SB by the end of the 2025 season, when Josh is on the verge of 30, I think/hope Pegula will clean house. The goal is not just to be "Playoff caliber" every year, it's to win a Lombardi.

It's really starting to seem that way. He always has to spend high draft picks on defense. Coleman is the highest drafted WR in the 2nd. Kincaid was a 1st last year, but a TE. Knox was a 3rd, but a TE. Outside of that it's 4th, 5th, 6th Round guys at WR. We did ship a 1st to Minnesota for Diggs. But we've had opportunity to do more. It's like they get one guy every year and say, "We're good." No, we're not good.

The Good: I like VanPran-Granger. I think Ulofoshio is a good replacement for Dodson. I think Solomon was a solid pick at that point. The We'll See: I understand the Coleman pick, and don't hate it at this point. Still kind of hesitant though. I actually had seen some people talking up Grable a couple weeks before the draft so maybe that's solid. People seem to like Bishop. Maybe he can be Poyer 2.0 for us, the young Po, according to his background of coming up to the LOS and athletic traits. At least that's what I read. Carter seems to be held in high regard from what I've read well. Supposed to be a quality rotational piece behind Ed O, even sharing the field to get interior pressure on passing downs. The Bad: Didn't like the Davis pick, especially with Estime still on the board. He's a one contract RB. He'll be 28 when his rookie deal is up. Would rather have had Kimani Vidal as well. Looking at our CB depth and the only guy we take is Hardy at the end of Round 6. Clayton is camp fodder. I would have handled the draft differently than Beane/McDermott did. Much different.

Did you say....... Special Teams?

Did he fetch your wallet by chance?

No draft would be truly complete without a late round DB from Pitt

Facts

Dolphins got Malik Washington now too. Another small, fast guy for Tua.

Chargers just got Kimani Vidal. Harbaugh is going all in on his offense.

Devonshire? We're only missing that late round Pitt DB.

It's still bottom of the barrel guys. You can find them all over. What's one more UDFA?

Whatever makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. I lived through all of that as well. Don't forget the Chapstick

Camp fodder isn't really that hard to find. Why trade back for it?

Tried it already. Apparently other teams will trade with everyone except us, since "it takes two to tango" ya know.

Talking about the WR group guy. Look, you all can try to reason as to why we are fine, better, whatever. People can continue to pucker up for every Beane/McDermott selection. That's your choice. But I don't have to agree with your assessment. And I don't believe that our group overall is more talented than it was last year. I just don't. I also think we blew an opportunity to get a couple of WR's who could help replenish the cupboard, especially in THIS draft.

1 OL - OK with it Trade - 4th in 2025, OK with it 1 LB - Some meh guy, back on course

Can you imagine if Josh was on the Eagles with all that talent?

Eagles having a good draft......again

Samuel is a middling kind of Slot guy. Seems like they are going to let Shakir get more run on the outside. Hollins is a slight step up from Sherfield. We are all hoping that Coleman can just equal Gabe's production. Shorter is an unknown, and has done nothing. The rest of the guys are nobody's. Mahomes has Kelce, Andy Reid, Steve Spagnuolo, and that defense. We do not.

Apparently, they don't think they so. Deepest WR draft in 10 years and we get one at the top of the 2nd.

Broncos just got a SOLID RB.
