2023: Jayden Reed 2nd round - 64 for 793 and 8 TDs (Better as a rookie than second year Shakir). Dontayvion Wicks 5th round - 39 for 581 and 4 TD’s (Better than rookie year Shakir) 2022: Christian Watson 2nd round - 41 for 611 and 7 TD’s. (Better as a rookie than second year Shakir) Romeo Doubs 4th round - 42 for 425 and 3 TD’s. (Better than rookie year Shakir). I mean, there can be lots of reasons the Bills don’t win a Super Bowl. The defense can get rolled by the Chiefs again. Josh could miss the season. The question is, “what is the best strategy to win the Super Bowl?” If you think Samuel by himself is better than Harty and Sherfield, I COMPLETELY agree. Again, the question is: is Coleman/Samuel/MVS/Claypool better than Diggs/Davis/Sherfield/Harty? Did our offensive weapons get better or worse since last year? IMO, again, the answer is CLEARLY WORSE. Even if Diggs lost a step. And you know what, I wouldn’t really care if the weapons took a little step back this year to set us up for the future. Prior to the Diggs trade, I said it was a guarantee he was gone in 25. Beane ripped the bandaid off a year early. That’s fine by me to sell high and get a cancer outta here. But again, you could have 2 rookies learning and growing with Josh from a historic draft class that has had us talking WR’s for the last 8 months! Or they could’ve drafted another rookie last year or the year prior. Instead, Claypool and MVS will be gone in 25, regardless of how they perform. And we will NEED to get another WR because we have painted ourselves into a corner where everyone and their mother knows we are going WR in our first two picks. AGAIN. Beane’s strategy for WR seems to be “only draft them when you absolutely have to.” IMO, that’s a really bad strategy that the best teams in the NFL DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO.

Indeed

The hypocrisy.

It's going to pay the draft class.

To me he looks like he'd be perfect for a '90s grunge band.

lulz

Rookie deals, right?

the point stands..

What’s our pressing need and who currently available fits the billet? I’m thinking pass rusher or Safety -if only for assurance. We ran out of these prior to the Chiefs playoff game. P.S. Thanks for the memories, Tre’!

Gotta love these tough guys

I'm on lunch break so please excuse me for asking you to back your assertion. Who were the two rookies and what were their stats? Thank you. To the bolded, I know that though you occasionally affirm that none of us can know for sure, it's pretty clear that you don't think Coleman will succeed... based on the body of your comments about him since before he was drafted. Most of your secondary arguments seem like they are built on that single belief. If on the other hand you believe that Coleman will succeed, then IMO there's no reasonable basis to think that with the continued development of Shakir and Kincaid, the additions of Samuel, MVS, and Claypool, atop the baseline established by Cook and Knox, that the Bills will have surrounded Josh with enough good weapons... and that there's no reason to double down. Many other posters on this board agree with you... they don't like the Coleman pick so they wanted to double down, even though as @folz pointed out, how do you justify doubling down when Hyde and Poyer are no longer on the roster? So the people who wanted to double down should at least say which round and which player they wanted instead of the player we drafted. THEN we're having a worthwhile conversation. Again that's your opinion and it's not necessarily wrong... but I believe that if Coleman has a good rookie season, that the state of the WR corps will not be the reason the Bills don't win the Super Bowl. Regarding MVS, there's no reason to believe he's slowing down. From Sal's article (PTSD spoiler alert): "... last January when Valdes-Scantling made two huge plays for the Chiefs when they defeated the Bills in the divisional playoff game at Highmark Stadium. On the first play of the third quarter, he lined up in the slot and drew man coverage from Taron Johnson who is five inches shorter. Patrick Mahomes recognized the matchup and Valdes-Scantling ran a seam route and despite tight coverage, he made a superb catch for a 30-yard gain. Five plays later the Chiefs were in the end zone and in the lead, 20-17. Then later in the third, after the Bills had regained a 24-20 advantage, Valdes-Scantling struck again. On a second-and-7 from the Buffalo 48, he was again in the slot and ran a route where he found a hole in zone coverage between Rasul Douglas and Micah Hyde and Mahomes hit for a 32-yard gain. That big play led to Isaiah Pacheco scoring what proved to be the winning touchdown." Some people here belief that the addition of Curtis Samuel, MVS, and Chase Claypool are equivalent to signing Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty. I'm not one of those people. To the bolded, that's a good question and one the Vikings are asking themselves about Justin Jefferson. But you didn't address the draft compensation issue. Unlike Jefferson who is simply a matter of re-signing, the Bills would have to send multiple high draft picks to the Niners for Aiyuk. Tell me, what would you be willing to trade for Aiyuk?

55 catches 600 yards.

Are the same people who paid the Boogaloo, Proud Boys and MAGA nutters the same people paying the “free” Palestine people?

Really coming along! Thanks for sharing. 👍

Does Barron have a comment?

That community note is awesome.

I do actually agree with everything you are saying but I also feel like people just love passing stats. If we don't have a WR with big numbers they lose their minds. Just like every time we lose in the playoffs they want to invest more in the offense to "outscore" every body. There is not really a pick in this years draft I have major problems with.

Biden smirked

Trevor Lawrence does kind of look like Mark Arm, doesn't he? But I think he looks more like a horse.

Kincaid is the primary receiving TE, Knox is the primarily blocking TE. Kincaid will get 800 yards receiving while Knox will get about 500 yards. Getting 1300 yards out of the TE position and good Knox blocking will help the offense immensely, he is overpaid but that is not going to be fixed this year.

I think the issue is multiple things. 1. they have thrown countless resources at the DE position. Draft, FA. They’ve definitely taken their shots there. 2. The bigger issue to me is the issue that McDermott loves his rotational DLine philosophy too much. It absolutely take away from the need to have a stud pass rusher imo. Even if they did have one on the team, McDermott would still rotate him in and out because he’s an idiot.
