    The Bills offense needed to be great last year because the defense wasn't.  The Bills felt that the DL and the defensive backfield needed serious attention.  I'm not going to argue with that.  Defense wins championships.   Moreover, the Bills did take an OL prospect and a blocking TE prospect to protect Allen.  A QB needs targets, but he needs protection more.   I'm among those who believe that KC would have 5 SB rings if they had protected Mahomes better against the Bucs and Eagles.

     

    It's also possible that both Kincaid and Coleman, who both did not play particularly well after they came back from injury, improve considerably this coming season since they're both young players, and that would more than make up for the loss of Cooper and Hollins.


    Yes protecting our franchise QB is good, I’m glad we finally figured that out. I hope Kincaid and Coleman do better too, but in case they don’t it would be nice to have a few talented players in the pipeline. I trust Josh to get much more out of resources than I do McDermott. I was very happy with day 1 and 2, just wanted something more for Josh today.

    They took a swing on Cooper last year.  There might still be something up their sleeves.


    Yes I applauded that, but still need them to try harder. Hopefully they have something in the works

    We obviously have different views. I'm a defense guy and your an offense guy. Here's the thing. You're right. We haven't really done much for the WR room. BUT, you talk about KC and Detroit. Detroit lost in the championship game, same as us. KC lost to the Eagles because the Eagles defense. As the old saying goes, Defense wins Championships.😉😇😁


    Yes all but one team lost lol yes the Eagles defense was good but all of Phillys offensive weapons helped against a good KC defense. I like both sides just feels like offense hasn’t been addressed as much

    I certainly wanted a WR in this draft but I'm not going to act like a rookie in the 3rd or 4th is the difference between us scoring 20ppg or 30.


    Yes it likely doesn’t make a difference in one year. But when you keep drafting receivers each year, you eventually develop a more talented room and may actually draft a difference maker. We have not even really tried except for Coleman last year.

    I loved Hollins,  but he wasn't a speed guy that we all want or need. As far as Cooper, his production, do you think we can't get it replaced? Who is the WR we lost that we can't live without or get the same production from elsewhere? 

     

    What I’m saying is that you can’t expect that just because last year was great, that this year will be. I’d say that neither Hollins or Cooper has been replaced as underhelming as they were. At some point you need real talent rather than Jags like Shenault and Shavers who are our WR5 and 6. The reason we are at this place of people begging for WRs is because we barely ever draft them. The Chiefs keep drafting guys, the Eagles WR is stacked, the Lions have a star and former first rounder Williams and just drafted a guy in the third, the Ravens have two first round WRs even if Bateman isn’t great. Talented WRs are still important. And not having them makes things hard on Josh just like having a defense that gives up 31.

    Come.on man. We had a top O last year, basically scored points at will. Our O was far from the issue. If we could have made a stop on 3rd down we would have even been better.


    Yes we did. Thanks to an all time season from Josh. Now two of his receivers left and the running back that helped him is at an impasse with the organization. I’m very happy we added some defense, but we couldn’t have have used a pick before the 7th on someone who will catch a pass? Hawes is basically a blocker

    Yeah exactly, like last year we signed those solid FA WRs Quintus Cephus and MVS right after the draft.


    Man I remember when Cepheus was the mystery WR they said they had just worked out in last years post draft presser hahaha

    What need can they fill at this selection?  Please share.


    Our WR5 is Shavers. We have drafted replacements for QMorris, Cam Lewis and maybe VanDemark/Grable.

     

    Feels like Shavers or maybe Buffalo Joe are the next weakest rostered players. Oh and a WR could replace Coddringtons spot.

    Well now...

     

    I made the argument a few days ago that there were plenty of roster positions available on this roster, especially on Defense. It's not that we don't have decent players, but we also have a lot of guys who can be upgraded through the Draft. 

     

    Hancock will be 22 in August... He's a 9.82 RAS and played mostly as the slot CB for the National Champs last year. 

     

    Hancock's calling card is versatility for sure. Zone coverage should not be an issue... IMHO this pick is a direct answer to the trouble the Bills ran into last year behind Taron, and whenever they had to bring Cam Lewis in too much. Cam has been a great story and come a long way, but he's limited. Lewis is 5-9-183 with 4.5 speed. And that really showed up at times last year. I give him all the credit in the world for what he has done to maximize his skill set, but it's pretty obvious to me with this pick the Bills know they can upgrade.

     

    I think coming from the program he comes from, with his experience in zone, Hancock will provide needed depth and probably core ST's play. But just like I said after the Sanders pick for DeWayne Carter, I can't see how this pick is good news for Cam Lewis.

    Yea that’s what I was thinking. Replace Cam Lewis.

    Tez Johnson would be a nice pick up.  He did not have a great year in 2024 and he ran a surprisingly poor 40, but based what I saw in 2023, he definitely can separate and I thought he had plenty of speed.  He was actually more explosive than Troy Franklin last year...


    Yea when I watched Franklin last year I had to look up who 15 was. At this stage, his college tape is good enough to take a shot on a team who only has 4 real receivers on the roster. Same for White. Real good tape, just both small and tested slow.

    Offense will never be “the problem” with JA.  The problem with our defense is they suck even though 90% of our 2017-2025 draft picks being on that side of the ball and having a HC that is supposedly a defensive SME. 


    Exactly

    The Dallas guys for whoever cares love Strong.  Bryan Broaddus LOVES him. They are upset because Dallas wanted him.  Called him a press corner, really disruptive, plays the deep ball great.   Plays bigger and tougher than his size.  Plays the crossers well and drives on routes....high intelligence.


    Yea Strong is really good. Goodbye Dane
