Williams was the number 1 receiver in the CFL last year, an extremely pass heavy league. Has had a couple years to mature past his college issues. Is certainly one of those guys that can track and high point a football down the field. Once Foster came back from being cut he was the most productive rookie wide receiver in the NFL over the last 7 games and was good for at least 1 big play per game. And you mentioned Allen making him looking good but he played with Barkley as well and had 3 catches for 105 yards.

Can't argue with a guy that's nearly 6' 5" 250 and runs a 4.5 40 yard dash. Under utilized at Ole Miss which isn't surprising consider Brown and Metcalf and having a subpar QB that wasn't able to read the field. While the laymen here only have his numbers and his couple of highlights from Youtube, I'm willing to bet the all 22 would should a guy who's open more often than not and his athleticism makes him a serious threat after the catch.

He seemed to find Foster deep just fine. And once Foster started catching those deep balls it was exciting to watch.

With Foster and McKenzie coming on late last year, Zay a work in progress but still showing more glimpses of improvement, the addition of Williams, Beasley, Kroft, Knox and Brown, I don't see how that is anything like starting Peterman last year. They've essentially reworked the entire receiving corps. Regardless of your opinion on the individual players, the moves were certainly made to add weapons for Allen.

Hakeem Butler, Riley Ridley and Maxx Crosby would be my guesses... if we still had 4th round picks...

Hopefully the Bills are calling Charles Johnson. Dude was a beast for my team. #TakeAim #AAFChampions

Well don't make stupid claims that we're one wide receiver away from going to the big one and I won't point it out. Also, pretty much every guy you named was in the playoffs regularly... Megatron not so much. So yea...

Yea I mean, look how many rings he had while in Detroit... Hockenson would be a great pick. Oliver would also be a great pick. Trading down would also be a great idea. For once, the Bills are in a good place after free agency and not scrambling to pick need because of missing out on player X, Y and Z.

I'd like to see Ross (Arizona) and Johnson (Orlando) in camp this year. Two good receivers.

Nah, McBeane has it right. They interviewed Bryce Love at the combine, that's the guy you want.

Lived in SW Florida for almost a decade so adopted the Bucs so I could talk football with the locals that weren't Bills fans. I've also got a college team (Gators) and an AAF team (Apollos) from Florida but will watch Cuse when they're on also.

Hockenson, Fant and Harry are all much better options. Leave the athletic freaks for the Raiders. Considering tight end is even weaker for the Bills than wide receiver, my vote goes to Hockenson or Fant at 9.

My team (Apollos) looked great last night. Fun to see the old ball coach on the sideline again and not coaching for a rival.

If you love football you come to Buffalo. You bring Buffalo to greatness (or even on the doorstep of) and you're a legend.

75% of those drop balls are caught, we're talking about Allen having 61% completion percentage and missing the playoffs by a game. Don't think Beane doesn't know this.

We had to rim the fat off that route.

Kelly was ahead of his time. They were running spread, shotgun offense when the league was still all about running the football. And he did it at a time when you could mug the receiver. Think of how successful he'd have been with this eras rules.

The opposition to this seems really odd to me. Maybe some guys here don't remember watching Kelly. The "K-Gun" worked because Kelly was able to call plays. The only guy I've watched do it as well or better than Kelly is Peyton Manning. And you don't want a guy like that sitting down with our soon to be 2nd year QB?

So you're under the impression that somehow McDermott conducted an entire draft all by himself? It's amazing how clueless people are on this board. McDermott used Whaley's draft board to make selections. It was Whaley's draft.

Whaley drafted EJ Manuel. Yes, Mahommes is good but no one was going to take Whaley's word for it even if that's who he wanted at 10. And also, trading arguably a top 5 corner, top 5 MLB and potential top 5 QB doesn't sound like a good deal. It's a team sport. The Bills just don't have the coaching and weapons that KC does, period. So Mahommes' success would not be a sure thing in Buffalo anyways.

If I were Murray, I'd stick with baseball.

I was thinking the opposite. With the huge amount of cap space, I'd like to see a trade up if they target someone they really like that'll be off the board before we pick in the 2nd round. BPA at 9 is a comfortable position to be in and with guys like Fant and Metcalf probably hovering around a top 10 pick, no sense in passing that up.

He had the least amount of experience, period. I think he had something like 48% of the snaps that Mayfield had and they came into the league the same year. Then to think we took him, most likely knowing the disadvantage he already faced with so little experience and we doubled down on that by making him compete with the worst QB in NFL history and a 4 year backup to an average QB, taking away the valuable reps he needed. At his current rate of progress it pains me to think what this year could've been if they just drafted him and named him the starter from day 1. Even more so what we could've seen by the end of the year if he hadn't missed the 5.5 games that he did.

So after reading this, I'm convinced that McDermott is going to be successful in year 3. He wants guys that will fight. When people hear him say "character" they think he means choir boys. But what I see is that he wants guys that won't give up, that will put in the work. I think Duke sounds like the epitome of that character that McDermott looks for.

In his first start (ever), against the Chargers, he outplayed Jackson by a wide margin. I don't see how the Bills defense completely laying an egg in the first half of that game falls on Allen. I mean you can have your biases I guess, but all you really have is a first NFL start and a game against the Pats (who aren't the Chargers) as "proof" he would've played poorly. All I saw was a kid who the week before, scored 5 TDs and avenged a loss from earlier in the season against a division rival. I haven't seen Jackson do anything like that and so far the only rookie QB that's better than Allen is Mayfield.
