Da'Rick Rogers...WR problem solved! Ko Simpson...Safety problem solved and he would probably play for free as he is worth millions! Cap Savings!

Great old school clip! As much as I miss some of the hard-nosed plays and what it meant to play defense back then, I think what I miss most was the continuity that came as a fan seeing the same players year-after year spending 7-10 years together.

When Beane said the team is "in transition" what does that look like for you in 2024-2025. For me, it means four (4 things). 1. Bills will be 10-7 and get a Wildcard 2. Bills will offload Miller and Knox and will have more cap space heading into 25-26 season 3. Bills will focus on finding a new punter and kicker. A #1 DE and #1 WR will be key components to move forward with their 1st and two 2nds. 4. All eyes will be on OC Brady to see if he can have both a solid passing and running game that is consistent and not too predictable.

These are all true statements. With that said, other than a handful of people in the world that know where Kutztown University is, keep in mind that that their were less teams, more rounds, and maybe one grainy video or two to dissect Andre Reed's game. Bills had a good GM at that time. Reed was great. He was the 2nd option for Kelly behind Thomas and occasionally Lofton. In summary, Reed in 85-86 versus Coleman in 2024-2025 as far as analysis is a lot like comparing CGI capabilities in movies 🎬 from 85 till today as it relates to player evaluation. Keon Coleman may have a good career but there is a million times more information, analysis, video, and resources to make it more likely that Coleman will be at his peak a #2 whose skillset and production scream a #3.

Samuel 920 yards Kincaid 880 yards Shakir 650 yards Coleman 550 yards Cook 475 yards 800-900 yards from everyone else. Allen 4,300 to 4,400 hundred yards. Hopefully about 5-7 more passing TD's, less rushing TD's as Cook, Davis, and other backs get more, and 5 less INT's.

Kincaid is very promising. Cook made a great leap in year #2. They are good. I hope I will be proven wrong, but they do not yet create nightmares for any DC. They could become that. The only #1 is Allen right now. Outside of Buffalo and sport stat fanatics, Cook and Kincaid do not register on the "scary good or elite" scale. Kelce does. Mahomes does. Jones on their Defense does. Coach Reid does. The reason why Bills want a #1 WR is that the margin of error is so small when you have only one (1) match up nightmare and the best teams have 2+.

A #1 receiver/TE is someone that consistently makes big plays and can have a 100 yards or a TD fairly regularly. They can beat you with production, a big play, or a high pressure situation because they've done it before and everyone knows the QB is looking for them. Their presence forces a defense to account for them often creating easier opportunities for others. Diggs had the numbers of a #1, he had the right QB, but there was very little around him so the offense was usually a one-trick pony. Moulds or Evans could have been but did not have the QB. Reed, Lofton, and Thurman Thomas made a 3 headed monster were all 3 could individually or collectively serve as a #1 in various games and matches with a QB. There are few #1 WR's or TE's in the NFL, probably no more than 10-12 at a time. #1's cause nightmares. Kelce always gets the first down. Hill can get a 50 yard TD anytime and get a 100+ any gain. Guys like Jefferson can make a good QB look like a 1st ballot HOFer. Harrison Jr, Nabers, and Odunze all have the potential to be a #1. Brock Bowers if he gets a QB. Brian Thomas looks like a possible #1 with the right coaching, work ethic, and an environment. Keon Coleman looks like a #1, really is a #3 right now, who with the right environment may become a solid #2 at his peak.

I think your view on Coleman is better-stated than mine. There were 3 receivers who I think fit better and have more potential. I would have preferred (if available) a receiver at #60, however, I think the size speed, and versatility of Bishop was good value. Was the Bishop dislike because of McDermott obsession with DB's or more of concerns about Bishop's ability or character? Thanks!

Thoughts on the overall picks in the draft? This can be as a result of other players available, value, position, or preference Like: Cole Bishop, Sedrick Van Pran, and Javon Solomon Ok: Tylan Grable, Daquean Hardy, Ray Davis Hate: Keon Coleman, DeWayne Carter, and then all the other picks. Draft Grade By Positions Needed: C By Talent/Value: D

WR Franklin, Rice, Baker, Walker, Flourney OL McCormick,G Van Pran, C, and Bortolini, C and Limmer, C, C. Jones, OT RB's Guerredo, Allen, Estime, Gore Jr QB Backup Options: Milton or Rattler DE/DT Davis, DT, Jefferson, DT, Boyd, DT, Booker, DE, M. Kamara, DE, Solomon, DE LB Eichenberg, Spreights CB Jackson, Devonshire Stiggers S Hicks, Oladapo, Mustapha, Carlies, Taylor P...some competition (Taylor, Rekrow)

Good player...good pick...and a need. Now, maybe we can get Franklin by trading up early in 3rd with our 3rd and maybe some of our day 3 picks? I don't know.

No...no...no! Terrible...3 receivers better than him!

And, he had a skullet!

Please...no...no...no! Too expensive...too injury prone, too old, too much draft capital, and too much a replication (albeit it a better version) of Shakir and Cook. Need a bigger receiver

Best part about Mock Drafts is no matter how much we get invested, how much we read, hear opinions, or follow mock drafts, we may get 4-5 players with the team and pick we thought they would go, no matter how hard we try in the first round to make predictions.

I would choose coaching as I find joy and fun in giving back. Though, the only thing I would be probably qualified to help teach would be stretching on the athletic side and financial planning and principles as a workshop at those rookie symposiums.

If contention means a playoff spot, then "Yes." If it means that we will be at least playing in the conference championship, then "No." We take a small step back and then with more draft capital and a better cap situation, the team puts itself into a legitimate contender again going forward

This is really one of the worst posts ever. Sometimes the best post is the one you never start.

If he is the 2nd receiver, we draft, I am okay with McConkey. He is well-rounded and should be a good player. I just believe based off of tape and physical measurables that Allen can get these guys to a higher level: Thomas, Mitchell, or Legette. And, as others have said, McConkey seems to be a repetition of what we already have as far as targets for a slot receiver (Shakir) and more of a slot type TE in Kincaid.

I think of Mike Tyson's voice being married to a female horse. 🤔

Am I in the wrong place? Testing...testing...testing. I could have sworn this was a Bills forum.

The only problem with this idea is that Brock Bowers will not go lower than #15. I doubt Bills will trade away that many picks for a TE which would then make it even more unlikely that they will have their second rounder to get Leggette. Bowers is a great prospect. Unfortunately, picking at #28 does not help. Nice thought though.

Troy Franklin. Not worth it at 28. Give me Mitchell. I like Franklin in that 37-60 range. Good pick if we end up trading back to early 40s and get more draft capital. If Bills want to double-dip at receiver then I would strongly consider trading up for him at Philly's 2nd second round pick at #53 if Leggette is not available. If there are 3-4 prospects at several positions a few picks before #60 and Franklin goes before #53, then BPA on their draft board that fits a need at DE/DT/S/C/OT.

Josh Allen is the only one.

Salary cap is going to continue to go up. Still, up to $30 million on a linebacker/DE hybrid is quite an investment with so many other positions unsettled. He'll play well barring injury, but methinks Jacksonville will be stuck at that level slightly above mediocrity over the life of this contract. I expect a 7-11 win team with maybe one playoff victory during the time.
