Only a Bills fan would wait 20 years for an elite, superstar QB to come to town, then suggest trading him for draft picks.

Beane strikes me as one of those guys who knows how to communicate his thoughts pretty candidly and for the most part both honestly and diplomatically at the same time. He would never dis his own roster for example and look towards the future positively Not to say he will totally show his hand / draft strategy or even hints to their draft board. NO NFL General manager should be totally "trusted" as to what they divulge pre draft. WR's WILL be drafted and from all Ive read it is a very talented crop of him to choose Finding our new #1 WR would be sweet but especially a guy who excels from a letter round. I can't wait for the draft

I agree with this, I just think his projected role is slot,with flex outside at the next level. But that's exactly what Shakir and Samuel do. It'd be an interesting rotation for sure. Imagine the pre snap motions! I do however believe we need a true "x" ,and servicable blocker to contribute consistently as well

I guess that works if the 4 Robins have the collective moxie of 2 Batmans, but as I recall the TV series and movies that didn't seem to be the case. I come back to Emmanuel Acho's comments about teams having at least 3 "freakazoids" and asking who, besides Allen, are gonna be the Bills "freakazoids" on offense? Because we can win games without, and even a playoff game without, but when it comes to the best teams contending for championships, I think we need freaks.

I'd wouldn't be opposed to it. I don't think (or want) McDermott to be fired.

He quit on the bears. I never want a player like that on the Bills.

Maybe … Probably even … But out of interest… what were you thinking about Bernard this time last year ? I would still be taking 2 WR early or draft one trade for one …

When the season ended and I started to looking at receivers I came upon a comp of keon coleman as kelvin benjamin. Beane was in Carolina when he was drafted at pick.... 28. There are so many guys I'll be ok with the Bills drafting and Coleman is one of them. His one handed catch against cuse was a thing of beauty. He would be a big bodied red zone threat and he excels at the most important thing for a wr. He catches the ball.

The dire situations of their homes are apparently not why they left. They were all studiously following the news about US presidential executive orders. The underfunding of immigration courts causing massive backlogs had no bearing on being unable to handle large influxes of people. It was simply that there wasn’t a 2,000 mile line wall, fortified with military garrisons that would… have had to let asylum seekers in anyway by law… Thanks for proving you’re just a simpleton hack incapable of any rational thought beyond “everything that makes me mad is always the fault of people I don’t like.”

So far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more? It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good How I wish I could But you're so far away

Beanes done this discussion almost every offseason leading to draft, be it at DE or CB. I do think he's counting on Kincaid to take his game to the next level. And for Shakir to become more consistent, especially at beating man coverage and zone reads. But at the end of day, Beane is going to use the draft to fill 2 WR spots (likely a 1st and 4th rounder, IMO). Focus being on separation/down field threat/versatility.

or... you could get a Josh Rosen and flop the team for another 10 years... oh wait.. who was it that wanted Rosen? hmmmm..............................

How true Steve O!

You could do worse than Robinson as far as kicking the tires on a player but greater than 95% chance he is washed. He's not had a productive season since his very good 2020 season. He's been on 3 teams since 2020 and while he's not ancient at just 31 years old he is not young either. He also comes with a big injury history. My only optimistic case for him would be that he is coming off a fairly healthy season and at age 31 he may have a year left in the tank, plus as a camp body for the minimum deal you could do way worse. I would also say that while his numbers were garbage in 2023 despite staying healthy and starting 17 games, he was mired in a really bad Steelers offense with bad QB's and not the best schemes. Maybe if he is better health wise and in a better passing attack he can rebound? I doubt it, but like I said you are brining him in to be a camp body and maybe a PS vet.

No.. its all about the rookies now.. And yes.. I think we double dip on Wr's 1. in the 1st and one in the 4th.

This is an interesting point. I suppose one of the concerns I have is 2019, when Beane added Beasley and Brown and told us all we'd have #1 by committee. That worked well enough to get us to 10-6 and a first round playoff exit, but it really wasn't enough, and adding Dawson Knox as a 3rd round TE pick described as "outstanding combination of measurables and traits, but he's much more moldable clay than game-ready prospect at this point" didn't add enough that year. I don't fault Beane for drafting DL, but there were receivers available within reach for us in the 2nd round who have proven to be very very good players, AJ Brown and DK Metcalf still on the board for example. So here we are going into a draft described as amazingly deep with WR talent, and Beane's words could translate to "First round DT it is, I'll draft a WR who has great potential late in the 2nd round or maybe in the 4th, see, we added someone!" It's not that I think Beane speaks his whole truth (not right before the draft, definitely) or that a higher 1st round pick is automagically better than someone drafted near the bottom of the 1st or in the 2nd round - not necessarily true - but IMO Beane does have a pattern of prioritizing high draft resources (1st and 2nd round picks) on defense that was only broken last year with our 1st and 2nd round picks on O. I don't have any "skin" in the game of being "right" about how I interpret Beane, but I am concerned that in fact, he is saying what he means and meaning what he says. I feel the team that developed Beane as a GM, Carolina, had a pattern to under-prioritize protecting Cam Newton and providing him with weapons, and Beane is continuing that pattern. If you look at Carolina's drafts under Rivera (by Gurney and then Gettlemen) I find it eerily reminiscent of what Beane has done here. When Rivera took over and Newton was drafted, the talented but ancient Steven Smith was the #1 WR, 32 yrs old; Greg Olsen was also on the roster. They drafted WR in the 5th and 4th round the first 3 years of Newton's career, finally using a #1 pick on Fat Kelvin in his 4th year (sort of like trading for Diggs in Allen's 3rd season). That's pretty much it until 2017, Newton's 7th season, when they drafted Christian McCaffery and Curtis Samuel. But by then, Newton was pretty bashed up and on the downhill slide. Seriously, if you look at Carolina's drafts from 2011 to 2017, it's headshaking.

Ladd lined up at slot very little in college. He line up outside >70% of the time. Ladd, Shakir, and Kinkaid playing off each other would be great. Josh isn’t an anticipation thrower, he throws when he sees someone open. Nobody separates better than Ladd in this draft, including the big 3. His yac is great too. Weakness is getting away form bump and run, but that can be aleviated through motion.

Ok Israel is stupid and just asking for war now. This is not good. Netanyahu is an idiot and is planning on us to fight for them.

Outstanding!

You have a total of 34 posts on this board since you joined in 2017, and this is what you wanted to be one of them?

He's intimidating witnesses. you know he is. the guy's a mobster and almost half of America wants to vote for him. WTF? Y'all grew up in WNY. Remember when the mob was big in NF and Toronto? Nice people as long as you didn't do business with them...I never had any trouble. In fact I lost a golf bet as a kid and couldn't cover and the guy I was playing with did. Bought me lunch too. but I'd never vote for him for prez...

Great breakdown

We'd be the laughing stock of the league for the next 20 years. Half of first round QBs are busts. Even of the ones who aren't busts, the chance of one of them becoming a top 2 or 3 QB like Josh Allen is very small. Trading Josh Allen is imbecilic, regardless of the return.
