The WR room is not bad, but I have to think it's incomplete. No doubt a legit outside threat could open up the playbook for the passing game, assuming Brady is up for it. Lacking that ability can lead to predictability making opposing DC's jobs a lot easier. if we had a guy like Brian Thomas the Bills offence would be # 1 in the league, possibly amongst the most productive Os historically. So I can understand why some people are disappointed with the draft. Of course this year's WR class was not last year's class. There was no Brian Thomas in 2025. By far the Bill's most pressing demands were on the defensive side of the ball (although it is worth mentioning that two later round offensive linemen are likely to make the team). In looking at Beane's draft I see very promising players in positions of urgent need who were great value where they were taken and good fits for what the Bills like and want to do. I think Beane had a great draft both strategically and in terms of execution value-wise. If he winds up hitting on three or four of these picks on defence this will be the Bills best draft since 2018.

I like Cyrus but this kid can do something well that the Bills like and that Torrence is not especially good at - basically lateral quickness and the ability to be very effective at the second level. So he adds something to the O-Line . Personally I love to see guards who can pull and destroy LBs and DBs downfield. One of my favourite things in football. I assume the Bills play him inside but he has position versatility so he can prolly back up Brown in a pinch.

Was waiting for someone to point this out.

This is a really fun pick. Not many 4th rounders have a chance based on demonstrated ability (2023) and not just pure conjecture to become the best player in the draft.

Sanders, like his dad in the day, disrespected the draft process. Unlike his dad, he's not an all world talent. Far from it. And what GM or coach needs the family circus that is certain to ensue if and when the kid doesn't get the reps or straight up craps out.

Ark lined up a lot in 3 man fronts (versus 5 or more OL). So forget the stats, watch the tape. I think this guy is special. Great pick.

This guy's receiving skills and traits are way more developed and better than were Shorter's. Decent (better) speed, good size, good hands, tracks the ball well, clean route runner who looks sudden out of his breaks, can be used to attack any part of the field. Hardly a premium prospect but not at all a throw away 7th rounder. I would not be surprised in a best case scenario if he wound up a solid WR 3 or 4 somewhere in this league. He could also be on the street of course. As with most draftees the question is whether he is able to manage the gap in talent and the more onerous demands between college ball and the pro game. Some highly touted prospects wind up only with high college ball ceilings. Some less coveted players adjust and continue to develop. If this guy can eventually do in the pros much of what he was able to do in college, if his positive traits are strong enough to make a difference against pro defenders, he will be fine.

There is something in the water in Pittsburgh. Makes wide receivers crazy. Absolutely love George Pickens’ skill set. Would not want him on the Bills.

If he ever gets in shape, is coachable and learns to lower his pad level he could be pretty good. There’s stuff there to work with.

Kamala is an empty suit, her campaign scuttled by required alignment with Biden’s policies, especially his administration’s foreign policy. Either that or she is simply completely devoid of substance. You would think that Americans would have better candidates to choose from. Suggests to me that the problem is with the political system which is therefore in need of reform. I can think of a dozen people i’ve worked with and for who would be better chief executives than either Kamala or Trump.

yes I remember a lead block he administered at the goal line on Drayton Florence when still a Charger (blocking for Marshawn I think). ‘Twas a thing of beauty. TJ is a good playmaker and rotational back. Would have liked Fred to have stayed at the top of his game longer, but when there he was elite or close to.

Move up for Golden in the first. If not a WR, move up for Grant.

So I guess coach would have opted for James Hardy instead of DeSean Jackson. Actually Hardy’s combine was pretty good for a 6’5”, 220 lbs wideout. Evaluations are not easy.

getting both McConkey and DeJean would have been a dream come true. McConkey may well already be legit as a # 1 and a lot better than Worthy imo. He certainly seems like Chargers # 1 in any event. No way we could have moved up 20 spots for DeJean in the second though. As for Coleman its early days. I remain hopeful that he will develop into an impactful player.

Milton Williams? 25 years old. 3yrs 36 bucks. Good year for DL draft and the Bills will probably take a couple, but usually takes a year or two before these guys transition. Williams young, good to go and coming off a breakout year.
