Realistically, I don't think it's an option. It would be exorbitantly expensive to move up from 28 to the top 3.

Wide receiver. The same thing they should have the last two offseasons.

Xavier Legette IS a WR.

They were horrible, yes. Unfortunately, I fully expect that Beane and McDermott will overreact to it and heavily prioritize defense again this offseason, with the same futile results.

Xavier Legette would be my selection as well. With Shakir stepping up, you may as well swing for the fences at 28. Then take another one no later than R4.

Agreed, but after the second half of this season, I would not restructure Diggs' contract unless I had no choice. I'd also be adding Von Miller to the list of players to release, though they'd probably need to do it after June 1st. But yes, it's time to cull the declining players and dead weight.

All else being equal, I'd definitely select a WR at 28, and depending on how it plays out, I might select another one in R2.

Should they? Probably. Will they? No.

They can eat that contract if they need to, but there may be an injury issue or something we don't know about. They also need to cull a lot of dead weight that's more of a problem, both on the field and in terms of cap impact, than the kicker. If they think they can fix Bass, I'm fine with giving him another chance.

No, I am not upset about it. I knew this team probably didn't have the firepower offensively to win it all, anyway. Add in all of the defensive injuries and their chances were that much worse.

I wouldn't say that it's all due to the failure to acquire one particular player, but yes, the front office deserves considerable blame for not adequately addressing the WR position the last two seasons.

That tends to happen when the QB gets hit during the throw.

They'd be whining if Allen had passed up that wide open throw to Shakir in the back of the endzone, too, if the Bills lost the game anyway. Allen played well. Shakir did as well and I can't blame Allen for looking in that direction when the game was on the line. He was the only WR they could count on today.

If there was ever a year to do it, this is it.

It's the near total ineffectiveness of the 'other' outside WR opposite Diggs.

Can they activate Zach Davidson for next week? He has experience as a punter in college. Might be a backup option if Martin can't play next week.

If he's more consistent and cuts down on the mistakes, I think he could be. Davis is more talented, but it seems like an unusually high percentage of bad plays happen on passes in his direction, including two more last night. Maybe it's not all his fault, but at the same time, it's not working.

Shakir Allen Kincaid Harty Sherfield Knox The entire defense

I think that 2nd one was very likely going to be intercepted even if Davis hadn't tripped over himself. I also don't care. It was 4th down. The interception was better than an incompletion or a sack.

Yes, and as I replied to you in the game thread, at some point, you have to consider that maybe it's not just a coincidence. And I also agree that the offense looked better when he was out. Davis may have more talent than Sherfield and Shakir, but those guys are more reliable and consistent. I've been pretty negative on Sherfield, but after this game, maybe he needs more of a chance.

I completely agree with that. He's actually throwing the ball really well tonight.

It happened when John Brown, Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders turned into Gabe Davis, Trent Sherfield and Dionte Harty.

I'm sure they will.

Well, that makes it plain enough, doesn't it? Watching it live, I was surprised Johnson's momentum didn't carry him into the endzone. Credit to the defender for a great tackle.

When a disproportionate number of bad plays are happening on throws to one guy, at some point, it's not a coincidence.
