Did pretty well last year for us and we upgraded from Hollins.  So I fail to see where they “suck”

You think Curtis samuel and Coleman are good?

Is there a reason teams who’ve taken RBs the last few rounds have stayed away from Devin Neal???

Interesting...

It will be.  Please understand teams watch film and make changes.  We added no additional, upgraded talent.  Palmer will be OK, but our WR room as a whole sucks.  Kincaid hasn't developed for $#@!

 

If we are top 15 in offense and scoring in 2025, it will be a win.  MVP and we don't further upgrade his help?  

I guess we just forget the offseason even happened 🤷 added a good wr3, at this point in the draft nothing is an upgrade

People complain about the defense...  Our biggest signing of the offseason was a WR

We resigned 3 defensive players to large contracts and signed Bosa.  Palmer is a #2/3 WR…

A lot of people out there saying we aren't help Josh Allen.  And, while I can agree with that, I think the Bills are looking at it a bit differently.  It looks to me they are jut telling Josh, go out and do what you have done the last few years and we will do everything in our power to make sure the defense doesn't let you down in big spots again.  And finding a way to make that 1 last stop is how they think they are helping Allen.

 

Now, to me, I think Allen is the best QB in the league and instead of playing to your strength, you are holding him back.  Sure, we score 30 a game.  Great.  You know what's better?  Scoring 35-40.  Surround the dude with fast, explosive talent and just run teams out of the building.  But that's just now how they want to go about it.  The good news is, that we can score 30 with this offense and that we are only a couple of trades away for legit WRs from getting to that next level.  I am just not sure Beane is going to try and make those deals at this point.

Alrighty gangsters, I've been staring at this f'ing computer for 3 days and Mrs Simon keeps walking through the room with a Louisville Slugger so I'm out.

Thanks for all the entertainment!

Have fun and don't tip picks 🤙

Have a good rest of your weekend.

McCord is the new Nate peterman.

Yes I get what your saying but its not like they can be like hey Benford, Tre, and Taron  get out there and play zone and Hairston, Strong, and Hancock get out there and play me some man.

 

You know NFL defenses do exactly that.. right? It will be something like the field-side corner (covering the lone receiver) to play man coverage on the #1 receiver (the outermost receiver on the weak side) while the boundary-side corner and nickel back to play zone on the three-receiver side, splitting the field into quarters. The strong safety plays a deep half zone on the three-receiver side and the free safety to play a deep quarter zone on the field side, providing help over the top of the man coverage.

Supposed to be a weak draft. At this point drafted or UFDA are they kinda the same?

[GunnerBill]

Okay board update time... cos I'm fast running out of guys..

 

1. Isaiah Bond^, WR, Texas

2. Cam Williams, OT, Texas

3. Zy Alexander, CB, LSU

4. Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas 

5. Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas

6. Joshua Gray, IOL, Oregon State

7. Jared Ivey, DE, Ole Miss

8. Jaylen Reed, S, Penn State

9. Logan Brown, OT, Kansas

10. Sebastian Castro, S, Iowa

11. Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon

12. Brashard Smith, RB, SMU

13. Chase Lundt, OT, UConn

14. Devin Neal, RB, Kansas

15. Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami

16. Kitan Crawford, S, Nevada

 

And that's it. That is everyone else on my board.

3 CBs and 3 DL and a blocking TE. You just have to laugh. I hope it works out.

You gotta be past the “Beane’s learned his lesson” cope, right?

[Kmart128]

I know everyone wants a WR but it is pretty picked clean except for Bond and we all know the issue there. Why reach for a WR just for sake of drafting a WR. Once Lambert Smith and Horton got taken I think it took 2 of our top guys off the board

Weak top of the draft. At this point it's kinda average compared to other drafts.... but it's always the case that 6th round on are guys that could easily be UDFAs

I absolutely LOVE the DL and secondary makeover, just gotta hope the picks hit and totally revamp the defense.

 

Id love it if they didn't draft Walker, they are going to totally going to have to revamp his technique and body, which tells me he has poor work ethic.

I'm not watching on TV anymore and I don't know if I can talk about what the Eagles just did...

To not even try and bring in competition at offense is nuts to me.

 

Its not like the WR core is even really considered to be top 16

Beane said multiple times that he didn’t see a need at WR.  Now, I think many of us disagree, but once past the 4th there was nothing at WR to take.  I think that other than Hancock they have nabbed guys that can make the team in Strong (CB) and Hawes (blocking TE).  I’m not sure that any of the WRs late would make the team.

[MrEpsYtown]

Last thing I will say on Bond, just don’t want to have controversial convos…

 

Bills are one of the handful of teams who had him in for a top 30 before everything went crazy for him. We are also one of the only teams who did not draft a WR. Perhaps they have some sort of UDFA deal worked out. But outside of Bond I don’t think there are any difference makers left at that position. JMO

Should’ve moved up a spot for Paul and not been leapfrogged by LA. 

 

Could have taken him at 170 and then there's no need. There's enough safeties still on the board. Some of them even have upside like Kitan Crawford.

A good #3...and Coleman didn't do squat this last year.  Slow, and coming back from the wrist injury,even McDermott questioned him.

I'm not so sure. Teams will adapt to the Bills offense. Are they adapting enough in kind? It doesn't feel like the talent or, more importantly considering the point where we expected a WR to be drafted, variety in the WR room.
