    I honestly see our top WR's pretty much set.

     

    We have Coleman, Shakir, Samuel, Hollins.  Also have Justin Shorter, Isabella and KJ Hammer.  I see a 5th rounder if there is someone they like.

     

    Shorter, Hamler, Hollins and Isabella are wild cards as to how good they will be.  Should get 1 or 2 out them to be productive.  Shorter being the most promising.

    Promising? Have you been sneaking into One Bills Drive and watching the practice squad?

    I define holes as lacking guys as starters.  We don’t have holes from that perspective.  Every team is always looking to add or improve depth.

    That's not how I would define holes. When your best DB after the starting five is Cam Lewis, that's a hole. DT, and DE are holes. Having both starting LBs coming off significant injuries, and nothing beyond them represents a hole, IMO. I'm frankly not certain that the hole left by the departure of Mitch Morse has been filled. Obviously, there is was hole at WR. We lack a power back. Bass-o-matic utterly crapped out at the end of last season. We lost core special teamers.

     

    Agree to disagree, but I think we got holes!

    This has been a much tougher draft compared to the last few (which is well beyond mosts fans attention spans...) because we have so many more holes to fill this season. When you look at how many players have left, starters and depth, it really brings to light how daunting this offseason is. In the last few offseasons, Beane had filled all the holes, to some degree, before the start of the draft. There was no way to do that this time around. Bills came due, and players aged out this year. There are no luxury picks, no flyers, and no BPAs at unneeded positions for this draft, and by the end of the day, all holes will not be filled.

     

    That will all make this draft a much less satisfying experience for a lot of fans. And it probably also means that Beane/McDermott have to prioritize certain traits in a different order than in previous drafts. Leadership, and durability are probably getting more consideration this time around. Concepts like "raw, but has a lot of potential" are probably less attractive this time around. It is what it is. All I can say is, GO BILLS!

    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.

     

    Rounds 2-5 have produced elite WR talent the last few years. We have many picks in this range at the moment. Enough that we can grab 2 lottery tickets and fill the rest of the roster out with the rest. Amon-Ra, Puka, Jayden Reed, AJ Brown, Rice, Tank, Downs, Collins, Higgins, and Pickens all are starters that were taken in that range in recent years. I hope we play the numbers game and can find the next WR to that list. 

    We're what, now???

    Yet Andy Reid and company liked Worthy good enough to trade up with Buffalo and get him. Beef Worthy up just a little and he's a Hill clone. So go figure.

     

    Myself personally, Allens lower trajectory laser shots beg for bigger targets like 2nd year TE Kincaid gearing up for a breakout 2024 season.

     

    We hope...   

    I hate that word.

    The Bills must of really thought low about Worthy to make that move. 

    Well, they met with him for a top 30 visit. Safe to say they feel like he ain't Tyreek Hill.
