  1. Wide receiver is a very nuanced position.  Catch rate is important.  Coleman-Shakir-Dalton all have mitts!  I believe the Bills receivers sum is greater than their parts.  Individually they possess different traits, collectively they will put stress on a two high shell.

    Is this still about Coleman? The 40 has a lot of non-football applicable track stuff associated with it. It's a good measure but not the be-all end-all. However:

     

    The GPS tracked peak speed IS football applicable, very much so. Coleman never hit 20mph last year. That is what concerns me. For someone who "plays faster" he's not moving fast.

    Coleman hit 20 mph on the gauntlet, and was the smoothest and fastest at that drill

    They are trolling us right? It’s like a science experiment. 

     

     

    What I read was that Cephus had covid when he ran the 40.  He later ran a 4.52.  He is a fast twitch player with great numbers 40 yard dash, vertical, and bench.  Between Cephus, Coleman, Hollins, not to mention Shorter, Shavers, and Hamlin- they all are 6'2 and taller, strong, my ball, mismatches.  It seems to be the type of WR Beane likes

    No disrespect, but the only people Coleman was polarizing too were fans who don’t understand WRs or that 40 times are the most over rated and meaningless stat, especially when discussing separation.  These are the same fans that don’t realize that Coleman ran a faster 40 at his pro day too.  The same fans who don’t know that his 40 time is faster than DeAndre Hopkins, Cooper Kupp, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald, and so many more elite WRs.  
     

    GMs, scouts, analysts, etc don’t find him “polarizing” and love this guy and his potential.  New England was trying to trade ahead of us to get him at end of first round and couldn’t pull it off.  His avg WR ranking was WR6 and ahead of so many “speedy” guys for a reason. 

    I get all that.  And I now understand the Coleman pick.  My problem with the Coleman pick is that the Bills biggest flaw on offense, besides separation is that they have been unable to replace John Brown.  A high double shell buster would open up everything underneath and the middle.

  4. Its a reload year, not a rebuild year. 

     

    What did Diggs, Gabe, Hardy, and Sherfield do for us after week 12?  All are easy to upgrade.  Samuel, Coleman, Shakir, Hollins is a big upgrade IMO.  Add in Dalton and Knox.  Add in another pass catching back(Ray Davis= YAC, 20+ yard plays). We fortified the OL with youth.  Hell the whole offense is much younger. 

     

    Settle and Jordan Phillips are easy to upgrade as well IMO.  Carter, Johnson, and Williams is an upgrade IMO.  DaQuan is back!  Ed is a force. Von will be better.  Roos wants to get paid, and will.  AJ is back.  Javon is my favorite pick.  DLine- much improved IMO  Milano will be back!  Matt and Terrell is best duo NFL IMO.  Add in Eddie. Damian Williams!  LB is stout.  Bills are high on JaMarcus Ingram.  Taron, Raul, and Benford is very nice.  Safety got deeper with Edwards and Cole.  Poyer and Hyde are sad to replace, but Poyer was playing hurt last year, and both regressed a little.  So IMO 2024 secondary is improved.

     

    We got younger, hungrier, nastier, and more skilled.

     

    And we have JOSH ***** ALLEN!

     

    Fair warning NFL, the 2024 Bills are going to stomp opponents.  LFG!

     

    GO BILLS!

  5. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2024-nfl-draft/2024/04/146915/xavier-johnson-signing-buffalo-bills-undrafted-free-agent

     

    Johnson arrived at Ohio State as a walk-on in 2018 but worked his way up to becoming a versatile role player on offense, a vital special teams player and a team captain for the Buckeyes.

    While Johnson never became a consistent starter for the Buckeyes, he thrived as both a wide receiver and running back when called upon, finishing his career with 682 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on just 70 total offensive touches. He also played the most special teams snaps of any Buckeye for each of the past two seasons, serving as Ohio State’s kickoff returner while also playing regularly on the kickoff, punt and punt return teams.

    So I have 12 negative post, tell me 1 thing Beane has done outside of Josh Allen?  I will wait. No SB appearances will not be replied to for sure. Divisional kings which no one cares for except Homer's.  Epic failure, no WRs in the top 3 rounds in 5y years being the only NFL team to do so.  Our epic and overpaid defense has failed every year, and we have a generational qb that will go down as the best qb to never male a SB.  Keep pounding that table Homers

    Only 2 teams have made the playoffs the last 5 years in the NFL- the Bills and the Chefs.  Are you familiar with the Bills 17 year playoff draught before Beane Mr Ingrate?

  7. I think Coleman will be a good player for the Bills at a position of need.  My problem with the pick is that we still need someone to take the top off the opposing D.

     

    Double high shell frustrated Josh.  By attacking that shell with speed, that opposing D must respect,it frees up the underneath so Dalton, Samuel, Cook, Shakir, etc can work the middle of the field and underneath.  Bills are still looking for a John Brown replacement.  
     

    A sub 4.4 deep threat and Josh would smash that two high shell.

    Except he has us in cap hell. So he doesn't have much to work with. 

    now that draft is over- Beane will start signing free agents, always trying to improve the Bills.  June 1st cuts are coming.  Bargain FA shopping.   And if there is a great trade on the table, Beane can finagle the cap to make the deal work.

    I want to see what shorter can do this coming year after being injured last year and not getting the opportunity. 

    last year people were getting all worked up about losing Edmunds, who is going to replace him.  Beane said- sometimes the replacement is already on the roster.  Terrel Bernard is a dawg!

     

    This year people are getting all worked up about replacing Diggs.  Beane said- sometimes the replacement is already on the roster.

    Beane very well can be talking about Hamler or Shavers or Shorter

  10. I love this pick!  His interview was great.  I really liked all of todays picks.  Every draft pick that was interviewed today had awesome attitudes.  They all are humble and hungry and love to study film and they all love to play football and most were captains.  Every one of then has Bills DNA.

  11. our biggest needs going forward IMO-

    WR who can take the top off, that opposing D must fear their speed

    RB who can pass block, and own 4th and 1.

    those are our biggest needs IMO

     

    with additional draft picks- LB depth, Edge depth CB depth and special teams demons
