  1. I’m starting to think giving up too much for one of the top 3 will damages the rebuild.  I think moving up for Thomas isn’t necessary as 2 WRs from the next batch are just fine.  Fine w picking a WR at 28 as well.  If we do move up it should be Harrison

    1. Allen will be 28 this year. Window to win with him is wide open. Beane will have to rebuild/retool the roster around him. This draft is very important.

    2. Kelly retired in 96 and look how long it took the Bills to find their next franchise QB in Allen. No way I am trading one of the best QB's in the game who is still in his prime. 

     

    No I heard we have wasted his prime.  McD will never win anything.  Beane is avg at best.  The rest of the team is garbage.  Time for a rebuild.  

    I mean whats the point of responding to this seriously.

    No.

     

    All of those teams had to win multiple playoff games to get to the SB. We haven’t won multiple playoff games since the Raiders were in Oakland.

     

    You can’t win a SB unless you get there. I’ll take our chances if we get there.


    Also, the Buccaneers and Rams did win. 49ers and Eagles were a play away from winning with far worse QB’s.

     

    the only other strategy available to us is trade Allen/McD and 10 first round picks for Reid and Mahomes straight up.

     

    Would you trade our coach and QB for any other tandem in the league?

    We don’t have a ton of assets unfortunately. So I do agree with you.

     

    I would much rather have 2 cost controlled WR’s at this stage of our team. But that’s really just because it’s the reality of the 2024 Bills. Ideally, I would take a WR high and get an Aiyuk if I could. 

     

    But the facts of the matter are clear. The Eagles used a top 10 pick on Smith, and traded a first for Brown and signed him to big money. They went from a fringe playoff team to a SB team.

     

    The Bengals used a top 10 pick on Chase, and pick 33 on Tee Higgins. They went from the worst team in football to a SB team.

     

    The 49ers remained an SB team by spending a first round pick on WR, and giving Deebo and Kittle and CMC big money. All without a great QB. 
     

    The Rams paid big money to Kupp, Gave Woods a decent sized contract, traded a second for Watkins, traded a first for Cooks, and brought in OBJ for a run. They went to two Super Bowls and won 1.

     

    The Bucs invested a lot in their group of Evans, Godwin, etc etc for their SB.

     

     

    really, the only team to go to with a horrific receiving target group was the Chiefs. And much like the old Patriots, it’s hard to replicate their strategy because they win even when their strategy sucks. And they didn’t even not invest, they just had crappy investments. 2nd for Toney, 2nd for Skyy Moore, 2nd for Rice. 

     

    Surround your great QB with talent so he can be great in the biggest moments is obviously the way.  We have the QB. It’s time to invest in the talent around him.

     

    Doesn't your post in a way contradict your conclusion?  Not that I don't agree with you.  By TBD logic becoming a SB team but losing is the equivalent of a choking pile of dung. 

  5. So many good WRs were chosen after the 1st.  I have come around on the idea of trading up.  I think stay put and grab hopefully 2 WRs.  I am ok with a small trade up to get your guy,  but not into the top ten or teens. 

     

    many great receivers of the past decade were drafted in the second round, including A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf, Deebo Samuel, Michael Thomas and Davante Adams. And other stellar wideouts were taken even later, including Cooper Kupp, Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Chris Godwin and Keenan Allen.
