You have a QB that's a Maserati. He's built for bombs away. But instead of building your offense for that, you build it for plodding, 10 yards at a time max, 10 minute drive offense. So I ask, what is the point?
What's the point of having a guy who's designed by nature to bomb the football deep and whose weakness is dink and dunk stuck in an offensive scheme that is built to do just that?
Why not offload him for someone who's better suited for that kind of thing if you refuse to play to his strengths? That's what I can't wrap my head around. It makes no sense.
Bombs away isn't consistent. Yes, Allen can throw it 65 yards down field but to ask a WR to get open on that route or time things perfectly is no easy task as we saw with Diggs' playoff drop. Instead you play small ball to keep moving down field until get a TD or hopefully get a FG aka put points on the board. Sure you can throw a deep pass every so often to take a chance and/or keep the defense honest but to think you're going to hit one with any form of consistency is just foolish. I'll admit Coleman wasn't in my short list of WRs I wanted to us to draft. Yet I've been wrong before as I admit I never expected Josh Allen to be a top 5 NFL QB and even muttered Wrong Josh when he was drafted because watching the clips in college he wasn't always taking the way throw to move the chains and seemed like a guy who threw it long or a ball that most of the time wouldn't get completed. The more you watch the more you realize the best way to beat an opponent is don't beat yourself. As most games nowadays are won and loss by a handful of plays.

The UB kicker. Came on strong his senior year. Going to be some kicking competition in camp.
The punter we signed also kicked in college.

I am convinced that the Bills FO looks at KC’s crap at WR, and think they can get by with the same.
Baltimore's WR room isn't great, Lions outside Brown not great. Green Bay has a collection but no elite guys. Yet these teams made the playoffs in 2023.

So now the Bills have a slow guy that can run over 20mph while catching footballs and an even slower guy that has averaged over 15 yards a catch in the NFL.
Shhhh his 40 yard dash and gambling past are what define him not his play on the field.

Draft. Focus.
My point being free agency affects how you draft.

The reactions on this thread border on the ridiculous.
Beane can't even sign a camp body without people losing their minds.
I'll be honest I'm not opposed to it, he's proven he can play in this league. He's still young. Ideally he's a outside depth piece.

Yes. That's what makes it frustrating. Cook has the potential to be a talented "freakazoid" for us, if he could clean up those issues a bit.
I'm hoping he does too. Yet I think people don't realize just how good he was last season.

I hate to break it to you guys but he ran a 4.62 40 yd dash
He needs to ***** catch the ***** ball and ***** hold on to it. 11.1% drops and 4 fumbles is not acceptable for a featured guy.
And despite all that he was a top 5 in the league guy.

No doubt. Price put up his best numbers as a WR2. We all saw what happened when he went to ATL to be a WR1.
He has to get the ball more that 12 times/game.True. 18-25 be ideal unless Davis shows can be a true complimentary RB.

Agree 50%. I think the key is Cook. If he can pose a 3 down running threat we will be improve from the end of last year. We know with the rest of the backs rostered that don't offer much more than short yardage or sub packages. Cook needs to be a full feature back.
Cook showed last year he can be a featured guy. Top 5 in rushing and scrimmage yards. That said he has to keep doing

It’s all sort of funny and joking around but what’s going to happen is Allen is going to start to get pissed off. Then nobody is going to be laughing. There better be a real move for a WR coming or this is going to be a rough season. Look at what Miami does to help out their mid QB…Don’t be the team that pisses off a generational talent because you are too stubborn to go get a real WR.
The difference is Josh makes players around him better. Look back most WRs we've had have had their best seasons with Josh at QB. Tua needs better players around him to be better.

Beckham is a hasbeen. Hollywood brown has a neat name. Tee Higgins is peerless price. 🤷🏼♂️
Samuel is a poor man's lee Evans.
My point is people have brought up some of these names as guys to add to the mix. I get we lost a lot in Diggs and Davis but improved play by Shakir and Kincaid and with a healthy Knox and adding Samuel and now Coleman our offense is in good hands.

We are gonna run what we brung.
We won't have a top end WR this year. We will hoist Shakir up and damage his mental game and ability because he is a 3rd WR at best who can't handle the x or y to a top level. This isn't an insult. Samuel needs to be used the hell up, Coleman needs to be out there every snap possible.
Nelson would be higher than Coleman, imo. He was underrated. I don't think Samuel is as good as we want to believe. He's a derrick Dockery.
Samuel had more yards receiving last year than Odell Beckham Jr. and Hollywood Brown and 43 yards less than Tee Higgins. Just some food for thought.

The only pick I truly disliked was Travis Clayton. I mean he's a major project and can't even contribute on ST as can't see him as a return blocker. As I stated in the draft thread, he's got great athleticism but just don't see him panning out at all.

How does this work - will he not take up a roster slot?
If he makes the 53 yes, if he's on the PS no we get an extra PS spot.
-
I understand the wanting him from athletic stand point but rarely do these types develop. We can hope another Jason Peters but with I'm gonna say Meh.
-
We needed a return guy. I'm not upset with this pick.

Practice squad player. Until he proves otherwise. You don’t avoid key contributors bc you have a practice squad guy.
He was on the 53 man when he wasn't hurt last season. Not saying he will in 2024 but...

Bc he is the smartest guy in the room. Rather gamble that one of these random hamlet, shorter, Hollins etc steps up so he can look like a genius than do what everyone knows they should do. Last year everyone knew we needed to grab Hopkins and he rolled with sherfield and harty. Season would have looked a lot different if he made the right and obvious move.
Shorter is still developing but I know we should throw him out with the bath water.

Last pick - K or P? You know Bass is sweating this out now.
We have two picks left, we could take both but wouldn't be shocked if take a CB and WR.
