  1. I don't think Beane would do a significant trade back and can see him including another one of our Day 3 picks to try and get the 3rd rounder without moving back too far. There are days I feel like Beane is gonna be aggressive and go get someone like Thomas (or Odunze if he falls far enough between a QB run and something insane like Worthy going ahead of him) in the late teens to early 20's...then moments I see him staying put at 28...and then other moments where a small trade back comes into play. This far out its hard to get a good read on the situation, but all 3 are equally viable options as we sit here today.
  2. Lol...I can pretty much guarantee that we are not taking a WR in the first and then trading up from 60 to get another. You do realize we just signed Samuel for 3 years right? Unless this all about your crusade to trade Diggs before the draft...also something not happening.
  3. I was not at all advocating for him to start, it is crystal clear he is not a starter in the NFL, was just stating he led the team in tackles over that 13 games so he at least contributed in some fashion as more of a reason why he could make the team as a backup. But admittedly, while I knew he wasn't great in coverage, was not aware it was that bad assuming your stats are correct. If that is the case, then not only are we going to sign/draft a starter, but he may not make the final roster.
  4. People don't realize Hamlin led the team in tackles over that 13 game stretch too. Don't get me wrong, I know Hamlin is not the answer, and I do expect someone else to come in and be the starter via draft or FA, just saying its not like Hamlin was a total scrub either.
  5. Based on your list of players: Diggs: 1100-1200 Shakir: 700-1000 Kincaid: 700-900 Rookie: 500-700 Samuel: 500-700 Cook: 300-500 Knox: 100-300 Hollins: 100-200 Shorter: 0-100 People are still sleeping on Shakir. His reliability was the best on the team and was our best WR down the stretch and playoffs. He will be a big part of our offense this year. Honestly, I would easily have Shakir well over 1000 yards if it wasn't for the fact we have a lot of mouths to feed. Meanwhile, Samuel likely starts outside with Diggs to start the season with our rookie likely rotating in with Samuel. But I expect Samuel to dominate the snaps early in the season as the rookie builds trust with Allen and the coaches. If the rookie earns that trust, then I think he will start getting more opportunities in the 2nd half of the season. I put him in yardage ahead of Samuel because I think the rookie probably gets more chunk plays and big plays but less catches, so he will probably put up more yards than Samuel. I don't expect any one player to have a massive statistical season because this offense is going to be loaded and ball will be spread around, plus I expect the run game to be a big part of our offense still next year with Cook.
  6. Agree with this...my thoughts too. If there is a run on WR's like many expect, I would love to see us trade back and get a 3rd back in this draft and be able to take someone from that 2nd tier of WR's because many of those guys would be 1st rounders in many other drafts. I agree on the 3 you listed of Franklin, Leggette, and Coleman plus I would include McConkey and Pearsall as well in that tier. And of that group, I go back and forth on which of those guys I would want the most ( Franklin - Liked him before the combine, but obviously some of his times created concerns, but give he was sick I am in a wait and see with him. Leggette - Lowest floor, maybe highest ceiling of this group. My concerns for me are that he has a lot of the same weaknesses that Gabe Davis had and limited production. But he does have some insane physical attributes. Coleman - Like Franklin, had some times at combine create concerns, but he is the most "open even when not open" guy maybe in the draft. He is a go up and get it guy and probably fills the biggest need in the WR room of size and toughness. McConkey - This guy has the highest floor IMO, but question marks are is he a true WR1 at the next level. Pearsall - Doesn't get as much attention as a lot of the other guys, but he should. He had one of the best combines too of all the WR's and likely improved his draft projections and I think locked himself into the 2nd round. If Franklin shows the combine times are no concern and just because he was sick, he would move back into consideration for me. If we don't trade down, but instead stay at 28 and take another position like DL or something, then I would hope we use some of our picks to move from our 2nd round pick to get the WR they want and not just wait and see who falls to them as most of those guys are likely gone before our 2nd round pick.
  7. He's reportedly been impressing since the combine and his weight is back up. So I wouldn't condemn him over the combine, I am still intrigued by him and think he is going to improve on a lot of the stuff he disappointed with at the combine. How much is yet to be seen, but I am really curious to see how his private workout goes.
  8. Haha spot on. Literally Stefon Diggs gets worse coverage in the media and by fans than Tyreek Hill does who got more women pregnant last year than the Panthers had wins and is a confirmed woman and child abuser. Let that sink in for a moment.
  9. Wonder if he would be someone they would take at 28 or maybe trade back and try and land if they come away impressed after his workout.
  10. At least all the posters in this thread spreading misinformation and fake drama have totally exposed their agenda is all total BS just to manufacturer a narrative to try and manipulate other "fans" to join their minority of their PERSONAL desire for Diggs to be traded. Ironic thing is that THEY are actually the drama, not Diggs. So that is at least one good thing is that the same few keep posting and further exposing their agenda. And yet there is no actual evidence of any drama of Diggs wanting out or the Bills actively trying to trade him.
  11. I also think Coleman is a high probability, maybe even at 28. He is a guy who is open when not open and would be a big weapon in tough weather game. If we don't land Thomas or someone like that earlier, I would keep an eye on Coleman.
  12. I agree, although if we trade up then I think it’s doubtful we draft a 2nd WR unless the compensation used to move up has more to do with next years draft. Just think we need too many pieces in this draft to fill holes to both trade some picks to move up for a WR and also take a 2nd WR. Especially not having a 3rd rounder.
  13. I think a move that big is really only appropriate for a QB. I think if Odunze gets into the back end of the teens or even to the twenties thanks to a combo of a big QB run and someone foolishly taking Worthy before Odunze then it’s a no brainer, assuming someone was willing to pass on him themselves and take a trade down.
  14. There are WRs that will go in round 2 this year that I think would be round 1 guys in other years. Im all for a trade back if we can’t get Thomas or Mitchell in the first (I wouldn’t pass those 2 up if we can get one). Would love to pick up a third and still be able to get someone like McConkey, Leggette, Coleman, Franklin, Pearsall, etc and some defensive help all in the 2nd. I’m not married to any one outcome this year because I know how deep WR is for this draft.
  15. Well last year and this year are very different. And I do personally know for a fact Beane called at least one team to try and get Addison and I shared that intel after the draft last year. And Kincaid was the best offensive weapon on the board when we picked and proved to be a player for us on the rise already. Also, I kept telling everyone not to sleep on Shakir and that he was a breakout candidate and the FO loved him so the WR room wasn't as dire as some made out to be. Shakir then proved that to be true on the field in 2023 (thank god Dorsey was fired). But Beane knows its different this year...Davis is gone, Diggs will be 31 this year with an expensive contract, and we are in the midst of one of the best WR drafts ever. It is pretty much a lock he will be drafting one, so don't think you have much to worry about there. Question is more when does he pull the trigger.
  16. Worhty is this years Henry Ruggs for me, a guy who is going to get over drafted for running incredibly fast with no pads on in a straight line with no defenders. Not saying he can't be a good player or will be a bust as bad as Ruggs, but he is not the kind of player I want for Buffalo. He is 6'1" but only 164 pounds and that concerns me for a number of reasons in Buffalo. We ask a lot of our WR's in blocking. Bad weather, especially snow, neutralizes speed. We have a lot of that in Buffalo come back end of season and playoffs. His lack of size means he might be too easily taken out of those bad weather games. Not sold his thin frame can hold up for 17 grueling NFL games plus preseason and playoffs every year as WR1 in the NFL. I think Worhty is better off with a dome or fair weather team where he is a secondary option who can take the top off the defense. I love speed as much as anyone, but for me there are big guys running insane sub 4.4 speeds in this draft too, I would rather find a combo of size and speed than just skinny fast. I want a team that is built to win the tough cold weather playoff games because that is likely what we will be in every year for our SB path whether its at home or on the road in a place like KC for example.
  17. I don't know that I am right, its just more I just have to think they see this as too good a shot to get an elite prospect to replace what had been our best weapon maybe as soon as next year. While I think there is no chance Diggs plays anywhere but Buffalo this year, I do think next year is when it becomes more of a conversation depending on how things go this year.
  18. I get that...I just have this sneaky suspicion Beane is going to see this as a rare opportunity to go get an elite WR1 prospect despite picking low in the first. There are 4 guys in this draft that would have been the best WR in half the last 10 drafts at least. Its not very often we can get an elite prospect at WR within striking distance of 28 without having to trade a bounty. He knows he needs a succession plan for Diggs, and this is maybe his best shot at it. I would think they wouldn't want to risk Allen not having that goto top end WR1 rest of his prime. And Samuel I think takes the pressure off needing 2 WR's in this draft, so he can maybe use some of those picks to make the move to get Thomas or maybe we get lucky and a QB run and someone like Worthy getting over drafted pushes one of the big 3 into the later teens or something.
  19. Personally, I think the addition of Samuel on a 3 year deal opens up the aggressiveness for Beane to go get his guy who he believes can be the heir to Diggs. Between Samuel, Shakir, and Kincaid...we have those guys in their prime for at least 3 years or more. Diggs is 31 and we are going to need a true WR1 to replace him potentially as soon as next year, or the year after that. So, IMHO Beane isn't going WR2 hunting in this draft now, I think his focus is on that true WR1 talent that can come in and learn from Diggs and be ready to take over next year or the year after for him. My way too early thoughts on this right now are that I think the odds of Beane trading up to get someone like Thomas (or if one of the big 3 slide because someone over-drafts Worthy based on his crazy 40 time) have increased with the Samuel deal. And with Hollins addition (excellent blocker and ST player) I think we may not double dip on WR now, and instead use the extra pick(s) as part of the move up and then use the rest of the picks to fill other holes on the roster, mostly defense and maybe an IOL like a C.
  20. Ive seen some differing thoughts in a number of threads on what this means now for the draft. So posting this poll to see how people see these signings impacting Beane's aggressiveness of adding a WR in the draft. Beane has made no secret about our interest in taking a WR, so this doesn't change that, we are still drafting at least one WR in the draft. The questions now come down to when, how aggressive we will or won't be, etc. We have now have youth below WR1 Diggs for a few years with Samuel, Shakir and Kincaid here (not counting Shorter until he shows he belongs in the league first). So knowing Beane still is almost certainly taking a WR in this draft, how do you think it impacts Beane's approach to this draft in regards to the WR position now?
  21. Lol, never said I was in charge. But I do care about this board and said your thread committed to spreading a false narrative is bad for the board because it spreads false information. Then again, guess threads like this are to be expected from you when the highly respected poster you leached onto all season to try and get your name out of the muck stops posting and you gotta go back to your bread and butter nonsense.
  22. Whoa whoa whoa Beck...this isn't the thread for facts, logic, reason. lol
