That's life, as a Bills fan 😠 Again, anyone we're taking here has a Year 1 ceiling as either playing Justin Shorter off the roster or more likely being this year's Justin Shorter as a Red Shirt Rookie. I don't understand your urgency to fill the last WR roster spot with a Late Day 3 Pick. 1 Quote

Logic Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) 24 minutes ago, SCBills said: What a weird draft.  Not bad.. just weird.  Everything we’re doing makes complete sense.  We’ve added 3 potential starters at WR, S and C, along with a rotational DT and RB.   Just very business like.  Nothing aggressive.  No real gambles.  Not much boom or bust.. just good players at positions of need, yet nothing that really moves the needle when it comes to Josh trying to slay Mahomes, while fighting off other teams like HOU, NYJ and BAL. Yeah, this is why I'm....underwhelmed, I guess. Kind of disappointed. Yes, we drafted players at areas of need. We needed a WR, S, C, DT, RB, and we got all of those. Great. But as I've said multiple times this offseason, I've thought for a while now that we lack difference makers. We lack elite talent around Josh. Guys that can step up in big moments. Blue chippers. This draft...sure doesn't seem like it provided any hope for that type of player. Coleman doesn't scream "Alpha WR1". Maybe Bishop turns into a playmaking safety, but a hard hitting SS is rarely the big difference maker for a football team. I'll bet the center and DT are pretty good players, but they won't move the needle. I feel like the Bills -- at best -- spun their wheels this season. At worst, I think their roster got worse. I think our WR corps is worse. I think our defense will be worse. Whereas, say, KC got a guy who -- by virtue of his field-tilting speed -- could change the entire way teams defend their offense and have a big trickle-down effect...the Bills got an X receiver who seems like he'll be...fine, maybe? I think I had hope that the Bills would be Super Bowl contenders again this year by virtue of some bold moves to surround Josh with a playmaker or two. Instead, I look at this draft and the 2025 cap space and capital they've collected, and it all screams "two year retooling project" and "2024 is a soft punt". So yeah...the Bills filled needs. They got players that look...fine. Some will probably be good. But I'm sick of taking safe picks that fill needs. I wanted a big swing or two, and the Bills didn't make one. I don't see any realistic way they overtake KC or can be viewed as legitimate Super Bowl contenders this year, and that's disappointing to me. Edited April 27 by Logic 1 Quote

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Uuugh arent we do glad that we got all those 5th round picks to trade for 4ths next year? Quote

I've gone well beyond reason, at this point. Quote
MasterStrategist Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Just now, Pine Barrens Mafia said: You're understanding the potential issue there, yes Of course, but I put the odds above 75% based on what we've seen from Kincaid/Shakir down the stretch and how Shakir worked last offseason to refine his route running/burst.  On top of that, we're counting on Joe Brady doing a better job than Dorsey, scheming and designing plays. I'd say that is definitely a much better chance, given what we saw with Brady....basically inheriting Dorsey scheme and running it better than him.  Now we see Brady design what he actually wants Quote
foreboding Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Love the Georgia Center! Very responsible draft pick. Not exciting but a year or two to get ready. If you are a near-elite 3 year starting center at Georgia, not too bad!! 1 Quote
