KOKBILLS

Strange how things play out... I think if Gabe takes what the Bills were offering him, which I'm sure was FAR less than what he got with the Jags, there is about 0.0000001% chance they Draft Coleman... They are just a little too similar. Both seen as X receivers for this Offense... Similar size. I think Coleman has the better upside... But the Bills probably would have leaned towards a different style at WR to fill out the room. I also doubt Samuel is signed because of the cap ramifications at the time. Anyway... It is what it is now. And with Coleman, and now with Palmer...I just don't see a spot for Gabe. And you HAVE to know in your gut he wants to come back... There's no way Gabe Davis does not want to come back to Buffalo...

I love this so much... The thing I love most was my absolute distain for Rosen coming out. He was the guy I wanted least. Honestly I'll never be able to truly understand what any football folks saw in that guy as a franchise QB prospect. I did not like him a year before he came out. There were on and off the field reasons I wanted nothing to do with him. I often bask in the glory of being so right about Josh Rosen... I guess I also forgot about what the consensus was fan-wise at that time, mainly because I did not care. I saw JA17 as a massive upside guy coming out of a terrible offensive system with little to no real guidance on how to play the position. A massive project for sure. Huge risk no doubt about it. But the kid reminded me of Elway. And that was enough for me to think if the Bills take him, I am AOK with it.

The Bills... They only beat themselves...

I'm not sure about Sanders as a 3 down Defender quite yet... we'll see down the road... But as a quick-pressure interior pass rusher he may have been the best one in this entire Draft IMHO... He can be an absolute problem in there... There was times I was watching him and I was afraid he was going to kill the QB he was coming so fast with so much force. He's got the type of game that developed and used properly won Philly a SB on the interior... He's that good in that single area...

I think it's kinda cool that a few days in Sanders seems to be the forgotten man from the Bills Defensive Draft haul. I think Bills fans are going to be really happy with what Sanders is going to bring on the interior rush packages next to Ed.

Very interesting what Beane said yesterday about Hancock. He was clearly a favorite of the Bills Scouting Staff. He said when they had the pre Draft discussion on who they would target in that 5th Round area ( I think he said of the guys they had 3-5 grades on) Hancock's name came up 4 times by 4 different Scouts in the room... More than any other prospect.

I don't mind Moore at all for 2025...and I don't have to have high expectations because I don't think they are needed tbh. But I think what he would bring is a good match for what this Offense has become. They are telling us what they want to be, and Moore fits that in the slot and z roles. I think his skill set most definitely overlaps with Shakir and Samuel, but I'm getting the distinct impression the Bills don't care about that... It seems as if they want as many shifty guys that can get open and get YAC as possible. They'll leave the boundary work to Coleman and Palmer. I'm not saying that's what I would do... But I am saying that's what they are doing...

Interesting reading through this thread and seeing a clear majority of TBD siding with Beane, even though some admit he could have handled it better... The afternoon guys on WGR were trying to spin it the other way. They said Beane took the pressure off them to have to defend his Draft picks (they said that's what the day after the Draft always turns into) and that the fans were now turning on Beane and his Draft record. And I'm only paraphrasing a little there. That's basically what they said. I mean... Yes they had more than a few angry callers saying Beane was wasting Josh's prime years while collecting an MVP... But it seems to me most folks are OK with Beane, even though he could have been more diplomatic...

Full disclosure I've never been much of a Jeremy White fan... I've listened every morning since WGR first started streaming... So that's a LONG time now... I think Jeremy has decent takes at times but overall he's very obviously WR obsessed. I mean... Anyone who listens knows this. And they should also know Jeremy's team building strategy is quite literally that the Bills should basically mortgage everything for the next 3-5 years. And he would like that investment to come mainly at WR because, again, he's WR obsessed. I feel like Jeremy took the Fantasy Football thing wrong because the default for people who truly don't know...and love Fantasy Football...is to be defensive and say it was an attack to belittle. Beane explained exactly what he meant. He believes in building an entire team and that starts with the QB, protecting the QB, and the trenches... Fantasy Football is QB's, WR's, RB's and TE's... That's what Beane was saying. He literally said it. He was not trying to belittle. He was talking about roster building. He traded a 1st round pick for Diggs and extended him. He'll add at WR if he thinks the value matches up. I really don't doubt that about Beane. The football argument to be made, and asked about WR with the Bills, is whether or not a field stretching WR will further open up this offense. If getting someone who is a legit deep threat will actually improve Kincaid, Shakir, and Coleman underneath. I think that is what the Bills are missing, and I think that is a legit football discussion. I also wonder why the Bills seem to undervalue some of these mid-round guys I, and many other teams, obviously value higher. He continuously says the value was not there. I don't know. I valued both Troy Franklin and Devontez Walker higher as developmental WR's than DT DeWayne Carter. But maybe the Bills bump the trenches? I definitely valued Jaylen Royals higher than Deone Walker, but with the Bills needs at DT I get it... I think those are legit questions to ask a GM. But I think Beane felt like he said it enough this weekend that the guys they liked at WR, when they picked where they picked, were gone...and that's that... I do agree with Jeremy on one thing... It's easy for a GM to talk about their board and value without ever showing us their board and explaining how they value. But I'm not sure how you could watch this team last year and care all that much about what they are going to do with a 4th or 5th WR... Do I think they need a field stretcher? Yes I do...Absolutely... Do I think that need pales in comparison to just about every pick they made in this Draft... Yep... Pretty much...

I'm not sure I ever watched more WR's than I did this year. I kept telling folks about how much I liked this WR class... I really felt like it matched up well with the Bills needs. Lots of speed... Lots of 2's, 3's and 4's... Varying skill sets... I constantly found myself thinking...how could they use this guy?...how could the use that guy?... I like how this guy fits... etc... It was fun while it lasted...

In Kromer we trust... Lundt is a SUPER experienced player who is an older prospect, he'll be 25 in June. He's a 6.45 RAS guy but there are no jump or agility numbers recorded for him this off-season. He's considered a solid zone blocking OT with really good feet and feel for the outside zone running game. And he held his own for the most part as a pass blocker. The main concern with him seems to be the ability to handle the power rush he'll see in the NFL. I guess we'll find out from Beane if a move inside is the plan with the shorter arms... But he is really tall...

My bad... Lundt has really good feet, played a ton of college football but has shorter arms. I'm guessing they see him moving inside eventually?... I think there is a fear of losing Edwards next year, and the amount of cash CyBo is going to get, so they want to stash depth...But otherwise I agree. Though based on what I saw from Tylan Grable last year who I thought might be a throw away pick, and what they've done with Anderson and Van Demark, I'm never going to question Aaron Kromer when he gives his stamp of approval.

I don't think the Bills have resigned Morris yet, and they are specifically looking for a blocking TE... Hawes is arguably the best blocking TE in this Draft... Davidson is not a blocker and that's why Morris made the team ahead of him last year... I think folks who assumed the Bills were looking for an upgrade from Q Morris thought a pick like Hawes was coming some time in this Draft.

Backup Nickle, back-up Safety... It's a direct match IMHO...
