LABILLBACKER

I've said this constantly over the last 2 years. Once we knew Stefon had reactivated diva mode, we should've been "uber" aggressive to find his replacement. I thought BTJ was attainable. And even DKM could've been considered more? If Keon doesn't pan out, this wr room will have to be enhanced by Josh's greatness. I love that this draft was heavy D. But there better be a moment real soon when Beane targets that speed WR1 that 17 deserves.

He's going to have greater opportunities with Josh and our offense to showcase his talents. The Browns qb room is ugh.

....more like Michael Berryman

So it's safe to say he's never been involved in drafting a WR1 in his entire career.

Would I someday like a speed WR1 who develops crazy chemistry with Josh....yes. Is it mandatory for the success of our offense...no. Last season we were the #2 offense in the NFL scoring 31pts/ game. So you could argue we had the #2 wr group in the NFL. Is our wr room riddled with big names....no. But we clearly saw Josh spread the wealth. Running the ball successfully and hitting on a ton of intermediate routes worked just fine. Our speed wr will come eventually.

Opposing DC's know Josh can struggle from time to time with deep throws. There's not as much threat from us if we not only lack a speed wr, but have a qb where the deep ball is not one of his strengths. They're less likely to pinch a safety that side. Drafting Coleman kinda validates your theory. Josh thrives on the intermediate routes.

Totally agree...the floor rose but the ceiling didn't. Hairston will be a nice CB2 but the gamewrecker has gotta come from Sanders, Jackson or Walker. I just don't know if any of these 3 can duplicate what Chris Jones does?

I voice exactly what @Logic said and many others. I thought we got tremendous value with our first 5 picks. I don't know if we have a future game wrecker to put Patrick down, but these were defensive needs. Would've liked a wr in the 5th. I see Prather as a Shavers PS body. My vote was A-......

5.68 Bottom of the barrel or practice squad...there ya go Josh, make lemonade out of lemons.

This offense will depend on both Coleman and Kincaid playing better than last season. And frankly saying it's 50/50 to see that jump is accurate. I think the Cooper ship has sailed. He didn't establish the chemistry needed with Josh. I think Josh trusts Shakir the most, but after him who knows?

Not making more of an effort to go after BTJ will always bother me. Josh has had one legit WR1 in his career and unfortunately he morphed back to diva mode. Last year was a monster wr class and who knows what we have in Keon? I totally understand the frustrations of many Bills fans. Josh holds up his end of the bargain every year. I love the aggressive defensive draft this weekend but would it have killed Brandon to skip one CB for Thornton or Horton?

The only way we can create deception is if we actually throw to this guy in formation. If not he just becomes Anderson 2.0 and the D knows it's a run.

Backup for Torrence

Yup, go get Burnip. Big strong Australian punter. Great hang time.

It's OK, at this point if we have a ton of new defensive players to evaluate, it will allow Sean to keep the absolute best. While keeping quality depth. Maybe long standing mediocre players like Hamlin, Lewis etc can finally be replaced. I kinda like this D heavy draft. We'll find a speed wr in the udfa pool.

The quarter defense. Quarter of your team are cb.

Cornacopia

There's building a top 10 defense and then there's building a defense that can put 15 on his ass. These are 2 distinct and different objectives. For the most part we've accomplished the first. But we've yet to land even 1 gamewrecking D player since 2018. I appreciate the front office doing what it had to do this week. We just gotta hope that one of these new guys pops. The game plan to stop Mahomes has been established.

Josh doesn't need wrs. He'll just throw it to himself.

Nice golf clap

Mission accomplished...another fantastic value pick in the 4th. CBS had Walker ranked at 47 and TJ Sanders at 51. He can now be groomed as our huge 1T. We'll done BB.

I'm officially on the Thornton train. A 6-5 wr who can take the top off at 4.30 would compliment our wr room nicely. I don't care if his route tree is limited. This would cap off a very good draft.

Yeah and he doesn't take the "ridge route" to the qb like Epenesa. Landon will easily be AJ's replacement.

He'll be replacing AJ soon and should be a slight upgrade. Daniel Jeremiah had him in his top 50. Said Bills got great value.
