Some will never let facts obscure opinions, right?

One WR1 on that list. Diggs. And he wasn’t a WR1 anymore by the time he left. 
 

One wide receiver who could be a WR1 in any NFL team. 
 

In seven years. 
 

Beane has done some great things. 
 

Addressing the WR position has certainly not been one of them. 

It just shows we don't value WR as other positions and considering we've been a top flight offense without one it feels like a wise move. As I'm in the camp that we'd be better served with a better defense as things stand by. As it's always been my thought it's far easier to win by preventing the other team from scoring than out scoring the other team.

what are we going to do? imo....drafting wr in 1st round is an admission we screwed up with coleman pick. should have taken ladd. ladd and shakir would have been dynamic. so we have mack...multidimensional guy. i like him. samuels...meh, but kind of stuck with him.  cooooop....great locker room guy. i am confused on where we go from here. 

I wouldn’t view it that way, even though I am adamantly opposed at chasing top end WR’s via FA specially when the defense has 4 pretty big holes to address, I am definitely open to drafting a WR with a first round pick.   If the WR hits you get tremendous value and it is a position of need.

 

Coleman I believe will be a good WR in this league but he’s not the deep ball specialist that I believe the team lacks.

OMG.  Taking WR round 1 this year is not an admission about anything related to Coleman.  Shakir and McConkey play the same position.  And so on…

McConkey is multidimensional, he can line up anywhere on the WR spectrum and excel.    Is he better suited inside? Sure, but so are a lot of high end WR’s in the league.  Make no mistake, if Ladd had been drafted by the Bills he would have added more value to the team than any other WR that was available by the time the Bills had their 1st round pick.

 

This is not to denigrate Coleman, I like him and he will be a net plus for this team moving forward.    It’s more of a pro Ladd post and that those that pigeon hole him as “just a slot guy” are flat out wrong.
