The Sammy Watkins trade did not work out well at all.
-
After 17 years of missing the playoffs, I’m grateful to have the coach and gm tandem that has made them superbowl contenders staying here.

There are high end corners in our division. 2 high end TE’s will offer the Bills a different way to attack defenses.

The toughest part of projecting the Bills first round is knowing which 25 players will be picked before the Bills are on the clock. Barring a trade, the Bills will select from among these players, in this order, depending on who remains on the board:
- Dalton Kindcaid TE (despite no top 30 visit. No visit was needed. If Kincaid is on the board, very likely he is easily the BPA. Bill top 30 visits or private workouts with three other TE's. This is a position of interest to the Bills.
- Michael Mayer TE. If Kincaid is off the board and Mayers is left he will be the pick for the same reasons.
- Darnell Wright OT. If Kincaid and Mayer are off the board, and Wright is on the board, he is likely the top rated player left whom the Bills have targeted with a top 30 visit.
- Zay Flowers WR. If the top 3 players are gone, and Flowers is left, he is almost certainly the best offensive weapon left on board. Separation is 95% of what matters for NFL WRs and Flowers is arguably the best separator in the pass (Bills had top 30 visit with Flowers)
- Darnell Washtington TE. Bills had a top 30 interview with Washington. Likely in hopes of landing him in the second. But the Bills will be emotionally committed to drafting offense with pick 1. TE is a position of interest to the Bills, and Washington would be taken ahead of remaining lineman (assuming nothing weird like Broderick Jones being on the board still). Washington is one of one in this draft in terms of physical potential at the TE position. (Note Wright and Flowers will be targeted ahead of Washington, because they are far more likely to have 2023 impact. Long term Washington may improve more important.
Nice Job Chaos! Who do you project as a 2 nd round pick based on the players still available?

4.45
His Pro Day workout caught the attention of NFL scouts when he clocked a 4.45 40-yard dash, leaped 125 inches on the broad jump and put up 19 bench press reps of 225 pounds.

We got one more home run hitter for you, albeit a really under-the-radar name.
Sherfield hasn’t made many waves in the grand scheme of things, totaling just 844 yards and four touchdowns over five seasons. But if you ask any Miami Dolphins fan, he’s a guy who’s made quite an impression in South Beach.
The 6-foot-1, 219-pounder is a potent presence from the slot. He can create space with and without the ball and could make a wider imprint if given the opportunities.

I can’t stand Schopp and The Bulldog. I’d prefer local replacements for them.

Wow. Josh Rosen isn’t even good enough to be a backup. Glad Brandon Beane made the right decision on his QB.

Buffalo does not have basketball or baseball teams.

Check out Riverworks. It’s a unique, fun, interesting place with a variety of things going on there.

that’s patently and provably falseLook at Poyer and Hyde numbers last season compared to the rest of the safties in the league. They are near or at the bottom in both categories.
-
Poyer and Hyde do not break up enough passes and they don’t create enough turnovers to be on the list.
-
QB: C Allen too many fumbles. Good leader. Intermediate game was good & he ran well. QB depth is a bit below avg
RB: A+ Singletary YPC and blocking were excellent. Moss will be a great compliment back
TE: C+ Knox has a great skill set, but drops are a problem. Depth is so so.
WR: A Diggs and Brown were 1000+ yard receivers last year. Beasley is solid. Davis and Hodgson should help red zone.
OL: B- Good players but no dominant players. Quality depth.
CB: A- White is excellent. Could have done better than Norman in free agency. Johnson is good nickel. Rest of CBs are good.
S: C Below avg turnovers and pass breakups. Good tacking stats.
LB: B Edmonds and Milano are very good starters. 3rd LB is not a starting spot due to nickel CB. Rest of LB unit is below avg.
DL: B+ Quality players throughout. Great depth.
ST: C+ Roberts is a high end return man. Kicking game good be better P&K
-
Josh Allen fumbles are a problem. He also seemed to take too many sacks taking the the team out of field goal range.
-
Murphy was very good for the Bills down the stretch and in the playoff game. He could stick around.
-
I’m ok with Brown and Glabb. Too bad WGR won’t replace Schopp and The Bulldog.

I don’t think Fromm will start over Allen, but Fromm does a good job at not turning the ball over. Allen’s 14 fumbles last season is a problem.
-
Fromm’s arm strength seems to be stronger than Peterman’s. Fromm threw 53 mph at the combine. Peterman threw 49 mph at the combine.

Great receivers with slow 40 times
https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/
Larry Fitzgerald - 4.63 seconds
Career stats: 1,018 receptions, 13,366 receiving yards, 98 TDs
Fitzgerald ran a 4.63 at the 2004 NFL Combine and, though he bettered the number to 4.48 at his pro day, there were questions about the elite speed of the receiver coming out of Pittsburgh.
The Cardinals took him with the third overall selection anyways and have never come close to regretting the pick, as Fitzgerald will be a surefire Hall of Famer when he retires.
Jerry Rice - 4.71 seconds
Career Stats: 1,549 receptions, 22,895 receiving yards, 197 TDs
The greatest of all time ran an unofficial 4.71, though some claim the number was actually 4.59. Either way, the GOAT did not wow anyone with his speed coming out of Mississippi Valley State in 1985.
Rice's lack of freakish size/speed and small-school status contributed to Al Toon and Eddie Brown being thought of as better prospects. Each were selected before the Hall of Famer came off the board at 16th overall.
Cris Carter - 4.63
Career Stats: 1,101 receptions, 13,899 receiving yards, 130 TDs
In 1987 Carter ran just slightly faster than the average receiver at the time, according to former Cowboys personnel man Gil Brandt. That's both a comment on how much faster wideouts have become (40-yard dash times for receivers rose to 4.48 seconds as of 2013) and how little long speed had to do with Carter's success in the NFL.
The ultra productive possession receiver used a combination of excellent hands and route running to become the game's best third-down target and touchdown specialist.
Anquan Boldin - 4.71
Career Stats: 1,009 receptions, 12,195 receiving yards, 74 TDs
Boldin has long been the poster boy for exceptional receivers running slow on the track. The highly productive Florida State alum dropped to the second round because of his speed concerns, allowing the Arizona Cardinals to pair Boldin with Fitzgerald for six dominant seasons.
Interestingly though, the only receivers to run official times of 4.65 or slower and have NFL success since 1999 are Boldin and Tampa Bay Buccaneers one-year-wonder Michael Clayton.
Chad Johnson - 4.57
Career Stats: 766 receptions, 11,059 receiving yards, 67 TDs
Another stellar wideout who fell out of the first round because of a slow workout.
The Bengals knew Johnson was much faster than the close to 4.6 he posted at the 40 due to his tape and displays of quickness at the 2001 Senior Bowl.
One of the game's elite pass catchers between 2002-07, Johnson developed his route-running and timing with quarterback Carson Palmer to put together one of the best five-year stretches in league history.
Honorable Mentions
- Brandon Lloyd - 4.62
- Hines Ward - 4.55
- Brandon Marshall - 4.52
- Dez Bryant - 4.52
- Antonio Brown - 4.47

The Bills needs to score more points. He score 12 TDS this past season. Gabriel Davis seems like a very good pickup.
-
Diggs, Mims, Higgins, Fulton, Cleveland, or Epenesa

zach moss sounds exactly like singletary.
I’d prefer the Bills wait on a RB. They could get a future starter at another position instead.

WR Candidates - Who Does Beane Keep?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Samuel, Shakir, and Coleman will make it. Hollins likely make it due to size, experience, leadership, and special teams.
The final 2 spots will be interesting. Who are best at special teams? Who will be best at creating mismatches? Who can get open?
Samuel and Shakir are good route runners with speed. Coleman and Hollins can create mismatches with their size.
perhaps they will go with 1 more speedy receiver who is a potential deep threat, and 1 more large target for the red zone.
I was thinking of mismatches inside the 10 yard line with the size that is available. Coleman, Knox and Kincaid are all about 6’4 and should be effective red zone targets, but if you put 1 or 2 other 6’4 receivers out their with them in that situation, no team could match that kind of size mismatch.
