Yes they invested more high round picks on WRs. And yes most of them have not delivered. Quote

And if Coleman can make big plays out of bubble screens, fine by me. Bring the D up closer to the line then let Samuel or Shakir get behind them. I think we have more weapons than many are giving credit for. Diggs to me fell victim to two things: 1. Brady wanting to diversify the offense more and 2. while I have no proof, I suspect Josh was sick of dealing with him and let McD and Beane know. Allen does need to hone that part of his game, but the point is that that's not why they drafted him or have said how they wanted to use him. It doesn't take Allen to run an offense like that, in fact, many lesser talented QBs run it better than he does. My biggest curiosity is whether or not this staff knows how to put that together. We can talk about it all we want, back n forth, but the proof in the pudding will be come the season. I have my very strong doubts though based upon what we've seen on the past and Brady's games. As to that second paragraph, unfortunately we have no idea, all we know is what they tell is, and they've led to is before. It's more of less not however. Also, Beane know that there was a risk when he signed Diggs, everyone did. Same with Von Miller. High risk signings. Quote

If you say anything other than a receiver then you should suspend yourself from posting until training camp.

But this is you. It’s what will always keep you from actually being a good poster. You want to argue a technicality to push a false agenda and then act a fool about it on top of that. You want to sell “Beane doesn’t do enough” and then cherry pick things to paint a false picture. You know damn well Kincaid is a receiver for us, as much as Kelce is for KC and maybe more because Kelce does other non-receiving TE things better. On the flip side, you make dunking on you easy with these absurd takes like LeBron on 8 foot rims lol Edited May 7 by Alphadawg7 Quote

The whole reason your point is so silly is because acquiring WR’s isn’t just about putting talent around Josh, it’s about recognizing that the WR market has completely exploded and these guys are going to get harder and harder to pay. It’s about recognizing the league value as a position. Kincaid isn’t going to get paid like a WR. Just like Kelce hasn’t. Because they are TE’s. Because they are “weapons.” Because they AREN’T WR’s, which is why I didn’t ***** mention them when talking about WR’s. FFS, annoying AND wrong is a dangerous combo. Edited May 7 by FireChans Quote

With the level of chaos right now in Pegula-land, making wholesale changes in the Bills’ front office is far too heavy of a lift. And whatever you might think of Beane’s roster management, he’s at least a professional executive who gives off an air of competence, unlike the clowns who occupied that office before him. Buddy Nix is holding on Line 1. Quote

He was taken because the Bills had no one with size who could beat zone in the middle of the field. Call Kincaid whatever you want but he was taken to be Josh Safety night and replace Cole Beasley. Beanes words. Not mine. The Jets cracked the code on the Dorsey offense of putting their # 1 corner on Davis to lock him down and rolling safety coverage over Diggs. Isiah Mckenzie was useless in zone and Knox was avg. at best. Which is why I keep saying the Bills offense this year will be more dynamic than the previous seasons because it will be less predictable and more difficult to defend. I do agree with you that id like another high receiver investment by Beane. I do think he drafted weapons in Cook and Kincaid that played closer to the line of scrimmage because the Bills didn't scare anybody outside Davis going deep and Diggs. Teams were rolling double high safety and spying Josh with a linebacker. At least with those two on the field it becomes much more difficult to do. I am still convinced post June 1st the Bills will be making a trade and the receiver room isn't complete. Its telling that Beane has basically signed every reclamation project at receiver this off season hoping one hits. I also imagine receiver, DL, and corner will be his 3 main areas of focus next off season. Quote

You don't take a TE in the first round to block (at least I hope they wouldn't). He's not going to be paid as a WR, he will be paid as a TE. Which is a good thing. The top 5 TE contracts in the NFL would be the 10th, 13th, 13th, 14th and 14th WR contracts TODAY. Those will all get bumped down a couple more places when JJ and Higgins and Chase get their long-term deals soon. That kind of highlights part of the reason why I'd like to draft more of them. If they hit and are a Pro-Bowler, you are getting tremendous value compared to their open market value. That's why the Eagles drafted two more this year while having AJ Brown and Smith under contract. Because they are valuable and it's not a bad thing to have 3-4 of them (see Trent Sherfield in the playoffs). Quote

Where I give Beane a slight pass this off season is with the salary cap. Every team has gone through this when their QB salary comes due and this is the Bills and Josh Allen's turn. I keep thinking back to that defense and how pathetic the front 7 was and how aged out our safeties were. We simply needed younger depth all over the roster who are less likely to be injured come playoff time. Next off season I think Beane has the cap space and draft picks to attack Receiver, DEnd, interior OL/DLand Corner. This off season was about staying afloat with depth pieces. Believe me the state of the Bills this off season had me initially pissed off. Now I see it as an investment as the Jets and Dolphins are about to enter serious cap hell with guys who are not named Josh Allen on their rosters. Again I am of the belief Beane will add another receiver post June 1st. Quote
DCofNC Posted May 7 Posted May 7 I think this exec thinks the same as the fans do. It’s really in Josh to elevate the guys around him, can he carry the team? We’ll see. The one thing I think is good, we’re going a little different than the majority of the league in building a Patriots dynasty type team of being able to do everything, so you can’t key on one thing. That’s really what’s made KC good, Pacheco can gash you and there’s no part of the field safe w Mahomes so, here’s to hoping we can do the same. Quote

I'd guess nothing. The question is whether this happens. It's guesswork. Might happen, might not. Very possibly they can go deep as they're constructed. But a lot of the reason they dinked and dunked more is because that's what's available, not just to us but to all of the better passing offenses. Mahomes had the lowest YPA of his career, by a very significant margin last year. He dinked and dunked too. And I hear he can throw a little bit hard himself. Dinking and dunking becomes more necessary as defenses teams that like to go deep get defensed by using cover two more and more efficiently. Edited May 7 by Thurman#1 Quote

Again I am of the belief Beane will add another receiver post June 1st. I don’t disagree there’s a case by case basis with some of this stuff. And imo the most important thing is separating results from process. Because results can be fickle. I can think throwing seconds and thirds at RB’s is generally poor strategy, but if you do it every once in a while and get a dynamic threat like Cook, that’s fine. If Coleman becomes Mike Evans 2.0 and Shakir becomes Diggs 2.0, then all the hubbub about process becomes irrelevant. My biggest belief in the NFL is that you can be right for the wrong reasons and wrong for the right reasons. It’s why I don’t kill Beane for the Von Miller deal. We needed an elite pass rusher, we just lost in an OT shout out to the preeminent dynasty of our time, our #2 WR just had one of the greatest games in playoff history. An elite EDGE player, who was yes, long in the tooth and an injury concern made a lot of sense. It didn’t work out and that sucks. I do think there are some prevailing strategies that Beane cannot or will not follow. And that goes beyond this off-season. 1 minute ago, Alphadawg7 said: As usual, you dodged the actual QUESTION I asked you and you answered a DIFFERENT question to avoid having to face your own nonsense.
