Either Indy or Detroit. Both very driveable for me, it'll depend on the dates.

I don't understand how anybody thinks Shorter has a chance to make the roster. I consider Hollins, Hamler, & Claypool all much more likely than Shorter.

So Bevis and Butthead?
Well they are friends with Josh.

I have no doubt that Beane had intel on the Chiefs & knew they were moving up for Worthy. If the thought of Worthy playing for KC frightened Beane in the slightest, or he wanted Worthy for the Bills at all- he wouldn't have taken their offer.
People act like Beane got taken advantage of, when in reality, he knew exactly what he was doing. He probably laughed to himself while he clicked "accept".

There had to be an injury we don't know about to go from nailing 55+ yarders to punting instead of attempting 49 yarders.

I guess he's competing with Shorter & Hollins for the old Kumerow role.

Coleman is not slow, he just ran a slow 40yd dash, there's a difference. The 40 is a track event- not a football event. His track start was awful & clearly cost him time. It's a good thing that 0% of routes in football require you to start in a track stance. I'd bet if Coleman spent a week or 2 with a track coach he'd run 4.50ish, without even getting any faster, just learning how to start properly.
The 40 is a great indicator of overall speed, but only if you master how to run it. It can be a poor indicator if track form is out of whack.
Exhibit A: Go watch Josh Allen's 40 from the combine, it was horrendous. It looks like he never trained with a track coach before the combine, his start & running technique are so wrong. Josh is so much faster in game than he showed in this track drill while wearing shorts.
We should be thankful that he ran a 4.6, because if he ran a 4.50, he wouldn't have made it to us in the draft.

If you watch Bishop's first interview at OBD, he says that he can play both FS & SS equally.
His first 2 years at Utah, he only played SS. In the '23 season he played exclusively one half of the field & that ended up being either FS or SS depending on the play, it was a pretty even split.

I don’t think anyone’s saying Coleman couldn’t make an impact but Boldin did have nearly double the production in his final year of college and was drafted to compliment an elite WR1
Boldin was drafted a year before Larry Fitzgerald. Boldin was the only WR Arizona had his rookie year- and he put up 101 catches, 1377 yards, & 8 TDs.

Ok, they obviously don't want Troy Franklin, at least come away with Tez Walker. I also really like Brendan Rice & Jalen Coker.

DeJean seems like a fine player, but if he was truly valued by the Bills, I think he would have been grabbed at #28. However we are pretty deep at CB. Johnson, Benford, Douglas, and Elam is a pretty solid stable and good enough for this year. Maybe Elam gives you some extra growth and can get on the field more. Also, Beane has done a good job finding talent at this position in the mid to late rounds so I think I trust his eye for talent later in the draft.
I think #33 should be receiver. Franklin, Mitchell, McConkey, Polk, and Coleman are all players to take a shot at. You can maybe gamble on DeJean at #33 then try to grab one of these receivers with a trade up of #60. Or maybe one of them falls that low. I just don’t think that is a good idea given we are so weak at the position and need to get one of them.
Couldn't agree more with this.
If we pass on DeJean, there will be plenty of other Safety prospects in rounds 3-5, of which McBeane no doubt have identified a few who are very good fits for us.
If we pass on WR & take DeJean, it's much riskier finding a WR later.

It still baffles me that the NFL doesn't require mouthguards to actually be in the mouth, which actually helps protect from concussions. Instead we get idiots running around with their neon colored mouthguards just flapping in the wind, because it "looks cool".

Polk was someone I thought shined in big games. He was a big play waiting to happen, he was a good route runner, good speed. 9 TDs this year. I'd prefer Mitchell or Rice size wise but Polk is a guy that watching him play made him stick out on film
I agree. I watched some Washington games to look at Odunze, but it was Polk who stood out to me. I think he'll be a very good NFL player.

We already signed Deebo-lite in Samuel, this makes no sense. Aiyuk is the 49ers WR we should be interested in.

I read somewhere yesterday that the medical issue with Thomas Jr is believed to eventually require surgery, and the hope is that he could make it through the 2024 season before getting it next offseason.
Sounds an awful lot like when Shaq Lawson was flagged for a shoulder issue pre-draft. We of course drafted him anyway, then he misses his entire rookie season recovering from shoulder surgery that we knew he'd need.

Tweeners who don't fit a singular position do usually bust, but there have been some successes.
Brian Urlacher played Safety-LB hybrid & returned kicks at New Mexico, he was a stud at MLB from day 1 in the NFL.

I prefer to look at by which 2 WRs we'd end up with if we took McConkey or Leggette at #28.
Which pair would you rather have:
A) McConkey & Brendan Rice
B) Leggette & Tez Walker
It's A all day for me.

Robert Gallery.
Considered a generational OT prospect, rated a perfect 9.0 pre-draft. Was horrendous at LT & really bad as a RT. Still terrible 2 years later, was labeled as a monumental bust. Moved to OG & was solid, played another 6 years.
I remember all the pre-draft concern about his 32.25" arm length, well under the 34" usually wanted in a LT. They were right...

It seems to me that McConkey and Worthy have relatively high floors. McConkey should be a reliable player who is frequently open, even if he isn’t a major deep threat. Worthy seems certain to be at least a dangerous weapon deep, but may not have the bulk or hands to be a consistent chain mover.
I don't see Worthy as having a high floor at all. His floor is John Ross, which is a complete and utter bust & useless as an NFL player. He's a very risky player.
I think McConkey's floor is a decent NFL player, that's the definition of a high floor.

Man, I do not want us to draft Worthy. I just don't see him working out in the NFL. I've also been against Keon Coleman, but I'd much rather have him than Worthy.

We'll draft 2 safeties in rounds 4-7. Most of us will say "who?" when the picks are announced. They'll be scheme fits that McBeane identified from non Power-5 conferences- in the mold of the Benford pick. One of the new Safeties will really shine in camp, we'll all be pleasantly surprised & praise their ability to evaluate DBs.

If even Bills fans don't know the true extent of Milano's injury, I'm pretty sure other teams aren't going to risk trading for him.

If we have one bad loss in the red helmets, nobody on this board will ever clamor for them again.

Burks is 6'2" 225lbs. I'd be ok with adding him, but no way for Elam. I liked him in the draft, but he hasn't really done anything in the NFL. If we could get him for a 4th or something, heck yeah.

What is your BEST Bills related memory that doesn't involve a game's result?
in The Stadium Wall

I was at a Chicago White Sox playoff game in 2000, Chris Berman & Rick Sutcliffe were the announcers. It was a day game, and we had a skybox. We stayed late after the game, enjoying the free beer & hanging out in the box. When we were finally told we had to leave, we were the only people left in the hallway, and were waiting for the elevator. Berman & Sutcliffe walked out of the booth right next to us & were headed to the private staff elevator, so we started talking to them. Berman was awesome, but Sutcliffe seemed annoyed talking to a group of drunk guys.
As they were getting on their elevator, somebody in our group asked Berman who was gonna win the SuperBowl, and he said the Raiders. I said " but you said Buffalo was gonna was gonna win it a few weeks ago" (which he did). He said "yeah, but..." and the elevator closed.
20+ years later, I still wonder what Berman was gonna say from time to time.
