Shot heard round Niagara falls

That seems to be a childhood memory of many here

and now people are saying we are benching our WR getting the most reps, and at worst our WR2 currently, for Gabe Davis….

There's really good junior college football out there don't make fun of Southeast Nebraska!

I got news for you, if you look at the Drafts in previous years (especially if you want to go as far as back as, say, using Cody Ford as an example) - you're going to find that everyone has had misses. And a fair amount too if you go that far back. Especially when you consider where we're generally picking. Look at the number of 2nd Round Picks we bring in to camp from other teams to Training Camp and the Practice Squad in recent years, for example. We just signed a guy in Phidarian Mathis to the active roster that was Washington's 2nd Round pick bust in 2022. It feels like he misses a lot bc you focus on the Bills. But the fact is if you analyze every team's picks over the past 8 drafts - you're going to find a lot of misses in the first two picks. That's the nature of the Draft.

I don't think I would ever disagree with that He picks a lot of good football players..but you can't miss on your first pick in a draft and get Josh a wide receiver who's now in the doghouse Josh makes a lot of football players look good so to getting to the dog house Take some non-effort I would trade beans sixth round successes for second round successes because you're just getting better athletes typically in a more premium spot

No no no. Chuck it deep to Gabe and Mecole I’m so done with this nonsense!!

Hope he likes southeast Nebraska

I’d guess about 90% of this board was adament that we didn’t want to draft Coleman Shame that the fans appear wiser than the GM especially because of all the talk about speed and then passing on Worthy for one of the slowest WR’s drafted

One of my earliest memories as a child was walking into a room, maybe I was 3, and my dad yelling at the TV. I can recall my dad saying “don’t hang your head Ferguson”.

This is revisionist history-nobody thought they were “forcing” him there, everyone thought he was a legit 2

I'm not saying he's perfect or even excellent tbh I think his drafts are generally solid if unspectacular

Best version of this classic IMHO ...

I'm not a part of the bills organization so I can't tell you what's going on in the war room right before it's about to happen But I wonder what the scout consensus at one Bills drive versus beanes train of thought is Is Brandon Bean taking Coleman because that's his guy... But he's willing to listen to his scouts in the sixth round and take Christian Benford because the pressure isn't as high Beane is not a trained on the road full-time scout.. he was a front office guy with some scouting training... I wonder if there's scouts screaming for guys that he doesn't pull the trigger for when he can Because he has his plan Bills have always had a pretty solid scouting department.. overthinking them is how you draft bums

If they are benching him it’s because he’s not doing what he’s supposed to be. Whether he’s not trying or being a dooshnozzle when he’s being coached/taught criticized. This is the pros. If you don’t wanna then someone else will. You can be sure of that.

Good stuff. I just think to all the missed opportunities. Humphries vs Boogie still burns my butt. He could have traded further up to get the CB he wanted and instead forced the Elam pick vs. BPA. Mcconkey was right there... right there! ARGH!!!

I was hoping for a healthy cut

Yes Davis on field = run Davis off field =pass Good news is, since he’s new, it’ll be midway into the 2nd quarter before the other team notices.

Do the Bills throw those????

This was potentially the get right game for Coleman as TB struggles to defend the wide out passes on the boundaries.

Yes, very frustrating. I remember when we picked Elam: I preferred Woolen, even in the first because I believed in his talent and mentality. Granted, we could have had him later (we did take Cook in the second that year) but it’s that kind of thing too often that has left us with a superstar QB and a slightly above average / average talent roster.

True and that seems to be why Beane has a meh record in the first two rounds. He seems to draft for needs and potential as opposed to performance. In later rounds, he settles more on performance.

That's because the Bills tried to force him to be a #2 WR instead of a #4 WR

Gutsy win for the Sabres. Don't get to say that very often.

Just want to point out that this is NOT what people on this board were saying about Davis after about his third year.
