Josh Allen doesn’t have a single first round pick on offense

[wppete]

We need to spend this years first round pick on a C/G. And then double down in the 3rd or 4th round.

I believe this will change very soon.  Free agency first but would not be surprised if they drafted a WR, C/G, and DT1 early in draft.  

I've been thinking recently about how dangerous this offense would be with a CeeDee Lamb, for example.

Gabe Davis has had ankle injuries that seem to have slowed him for parts of his first two seasons.    He wasn't only on the sideline because of Sanders this year.    I suspect Covid won't keep him out again next year........but his decision making in that regard cost him 1-2 games.    He appears to have the skills to be an 80-100 catch 1200+ yard WR with a great QB like Josh Allen throwing him the ball.......but some players just never full launch because of availability issues and other life choices etc. 

 

I can agree regarding his covid decision and whatnot... As for the ankle injury, that didn't come on until the playoffs (Colts) or may have been couple games before. All in all though he had a very good rookie season and did as good as one could hope with limited opportunities then as well.

 

Not sure if he's having any issues with ankle this season or not, but either way you split it those few plays he does get, he can only do what he can and produce (which he 100% has done) with that limited chances.

 

Maybe Sanders is not the only reason for the limited playing time, but Sanders is a good majority of that reason it seemed to me. I don't know about you, but when Sanders was out Gabe was on the field quite a bit more (as one would expect) and continues to make the most of it.

 

So my main point is basically we don't know what a full season of production as a starter will be yet. But I certainly can't wait to see it because there's a good chance it's going to be very good. Hopefully next year he takes the starter job

I am out on Robinson. He is a Gabe Davis type. If we go for a free agent WR they must be a speed guy.

[njbuff]

Just look at the John Elway Broncos from 1996-98 when their offense was unstoppable en route to 2 straight SB victories in 97 and 98.

 

John Elway was the only 1st round pick on that offense and the rest of the starters were mostly low round picks and cast offs from other teams.

True but they also have a bunch of proven veteran talent in Diggs, Morse, Williams, Beasley, Dawkins, Sanders. Its simply not true to say they have not invested in the offense.  They have just in different ways and of course Diggs was acquired with a first round pick. They drafted two RBs in back to back years and also drafted Davis Ford, and Knox in the first three rounds. 

 

Morse, Williams and Dawkins comprise 60% of a bad O-line...

When I was leaving home for college, my Dad said, "Remember where you came from." I never forgot that, and I repeated it to my son when he went away to college.
 

 

Your dad was just making sure you knew how to get back home for Christmas.

Has anyone mentioned that they spent a 1st round pick on Diggs??

First round picks aren’t the end all, be all. Did you know that New England drafted a really, really good QB in the SIXTH round???

[Mango]

But he does have one of the most expensive offensive lines in the league made up of (2) 2nd rounders,  (2) 4th rounders, and (1) 3rd rounder. Whether by the Bills or not, thats a lot of high draft picks for the OL. 
 

Our star WR cost us a first rounder. 
 

Beasley is the 34th highest paid WR in the league and he plays inside, and would normally not be on the field in most 2WR sets. 
 

Josh is putting this team on his back. That’s phenomenal. 
 

But let’s maybe zip our pants back up while we talk about how much we haven’t invested in our offense for our production. We’ve invested plenty. The OL needs to be revamped.

Just to add, Davis while only getting those limited opportunities he has like 30 receptions (or close to it give or take) and 6 TD's. I'm not sure if there's much difference from last season and this one in the number of opportunities he's had, but he had 7 TDs last season. I think he at least gets that again or maybe gets 8 with the extra game assuming he plays.

 

But would love to see what a whole season with him getting starter playing time would look like.

Mahomes doesn't have any 1st rounders either, with the exception of CEH. He was drafted with the final pick of the 1st round & has been average at best, not exactly the guy who's making Mahomes elite.

 

If guys are good, who cares where they're drafted.

If those are your first and second round picks.........please no, Beane.

 

That's the epitome of draftin' ferneed.    Shaq and Ragland level draftin' ferneed.

Why draft a WR?  McKenszie was 4th to 6th on the depth chart.  Beasley and Davis and Hodgkins are still around.

Harris and Pittsburg 2nd,,,,,,,,,,,,for the Bills 1st in 2022?

Has Harris shown anything at all this year that would make it worth it to the Bills to trade their first round pick for him? If the Bills did that, that decision would get CRUSHED here

Harris is a JAG…a terrible first round pick for a team that had a ton of needs.

For next year, I can definitely see the following

* Diggs

* Davis

* Rookie Draft pick  (Speedster)

* McKenzie

* Beasley 

 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

This is a good point, and that needs to change in the 2022 Draft.

 

Allen is the franchise, no more first round picks on Defensive Lineman.

[nucci]

Andre Reed and Thurman weren't first round picks.

[JMF2006]

What would happen if they gave him the pick and he took a CB?  

 

J/K

 

Well it was a rookie or Diggs so you could say he is a first round talent even though he was drafted in the 5th by Minny.

 

We don't want an RB as they make too much money and you can get them anywhere and they already have a LT so that leaves TE and Knox solidified that spot so another WR?

 

I think Davis gets the #2  and Lil Dirty gets the slot in 2022 with Bease and Sanders probably gone.

 

So a first round WR could be #4 and that seems a waste

So that brings us back to cap and need

 

My first round gift to JA17 is a center.
