And for reference here is Ladd who many of us vouched for
Coleman needs to step up or Beane massively screwed this one up
Beane didn't "screw up" anything with this pick as McConkey was never on the board. They've been chasing a big body physical player in Buffalo for 20 years and Beane has wanted one his whole tenure too. The goal was to get a guy for Josh who's open even when he's not open. It's the same reason we let KC trade for Worthy. That type of player didn't exist to our FO. It was likely Thomas, Coleman, and then LegetteOn 5/16/2025 at 9:18 PM, GASabresIUFan said:By the way, Beane knows he blew the Coleman pick. (40 4.61)
Since he made that pick, all the skill players on both sides of the ball have speed.
At WR were have added Palmer (4.52 @ 6'1 210), Moore (4.35), and Prather (4.46),
AT DB & S: Bishop (4.45), Forest (4.41), Hancock (4.42), Hairston (4.28), Strong (4.50)
That's a wild way to get at the wrong conclusion. He got the player he wanted for the role he wanted. He didn't want a speedster for that role, but he did want them for other roles.

But I'm really surprised to see you put Goff in that group! He is in a completely different category, has led his team to a Super Bowl
Goff "led" his team to the Super Bowl the same way Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson led their teams to the Super Bowl. He's a little better than those guys, but he's absolutely the weak link on that team. There's at least 10 QBs that would be a marked upgrade for the Lions. He single-handedly lost the game for the Lions against the Commanders in the playoffs, and he was one of the worst players on the field during their SB loss to the Patriots. The Lions had an elite team the last couple years and they've disappointed.
He's a middle of the road game manager who will never be good enough to win with, but he'll bait teams into keeping him because he's so much better than the unknown. He's a less talented Kirk Cousins. Put Purdy in the same camp as those two. -
seems like a dumb idea. I'd be more in favor of just going back to 6 teams with 2 byes, but of course that's not happening. Pretty soon we'll have 10 teams in the playoffs.
-
When you have Goff, Lawrence, Tua, and Love all making the same money as Allen and Burrow, it starts to look like union rate for a starting QB. Prescott is just lol.

last time I wen to a game I think my seat was $60. No chance I'd ever pay more than $80 to a see a game that wasn't the Super Bowl, and even then I'd probably max out at $200.

Great, I'm sure Cook's asking price just went up.
Why? Henry is leagues above him in talent and accolades and only got Cook's ask.

Do you think they'll pick another QB when they pick #1 overall in the 2026 draft?
No, because they won't be near the #1 pick, especially if Flacco starts. That will be the Saints honor, and possibly the Giants, Jets, Titans or Vikings.

Being slow is a pretty serious flaw for a safety. Just sayin
It's really not that big of a deal. There's a reason they move corners who have gotten too slow to safety. It's an area you can hide if you have enough game knowledge. It's especially if you have great ball skills and play a lot of zone. If Hamlin can stick around long enough to acquire the game knowledge due to playing hard and his ST contributions. I wouldn't be shocked to see a guy like him play into his mid thirties as a contributor.

His biggest flaw is that he doesn’t know what he’s doing out there. He’s out of position leaving corners on islands. He was by far the weakest link on our defense last year and it wasn’t close
I'm going to need to see receipts, because I haven't seen any evidence that this is the case. I've seen FAR more mental errors from Rapp, and especially Bishop than Hamlin.
17 hours ago, Richard Noggin said:Is he kind of an expensive #3 or #4 S though (2M guaranteed, ~1.3M cap hit)? Maybe his value as a trusted replacement-level depth player (27 starts and >50% STs) on the backend justifies the cost, but he hasn't made many impact plays on those 2,135 snaps (D and STs). Definition of Just A Guy at this point imho. Not the kind of guy who can keep up against playoff competition.
No. that's the definition of cheap in today's NFL. He's the 64th highest paid safety.
Mike Edwards made 2.8M from us last year to not play at all.-

Andy Isabella of safeties is better than the Damar Hamlin of safeties. He literally should be making hallmark movies instead of being on a football field, he’s that bad at safety
Damar Hamlin is absolutely an NFL caliber safety. You need your eyes checked if you think he's unrosterable. Should he be starting for the Bills? no, probably not, but he's absolutely good enough to be the #3 safety on most teams in the league and a starter on weaker secondaries. His biggest flaw is that he's slow.

Darrick Forrest, a UDFA (Wande Owens), and a draft pick in Hancock. Seems like they have brought in safeties to me.
Yeah, he is better than Hamlin. More upside, too. So, even if Bishop isn't ready to start, Forrest is still a good option.
Forrest has been in the league for years and done nothing. I think he's far worse than Hamlin base don what I've read and his production. Hancock is currently a CB they want to convert to safety, so not a real threat to push anyone this year. I missed Ownes, so good catch on that.
1 hour ago, ChevyVanMiller said:I think Darrick Forrest was a pretty significant signing at safety in FA.
Significant is a wild overstatement on a guy who's done absolutely nothing in 3 out of 4 NFL seasons, and nothing in 2 years.

Camp body, but still weird to me to bring in an 8th pure DT.
The fact that Beane has done basically nothing to increase competition at S is the most perplexing non-move of the offseason to me. I 100% agree with the approach to prioritize the front 4, but I would have brought in a couple UDFAs and brought in some cheap options there that have real potential.-

Fitzpatrick, and not close. He's the only guy that could come in off injury (although his presence might ensure the starter has one) and rattle off a string of MVP worthy games, saving a season.

Still the greatest coach in the history of the sport. I wish him no ill will, because I would have cut off fingers to have him be the Bills coach.

We absolutely don't need him but acting like he's washed is silly. He was still a very capable defender last year: https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/jadeveon-clowney/8636
5.5 sacks, 4 Forced Fumbles, 9 TFL, 4 batted passes with a 64% snap count on an atrocious team isn't awful either. He was being paid $10M a year. I think he earned that.

I would send AJ and a 2 for Watt. Although, Watt does tend to vanish late in the season, so that's something to consider. But so does AJ.
I'd be shocked if the asking price was any lower than 2 1sts. From an in-conference rival who likely will be drafting at the back end of the round, I'd imagine the comp would be quite a bit higher.

Uh, with what qb? I literally don't know who they have right now.
They want Rodgers. They wouldn't even be considering that if they weren't in win-now mode. They have a lot of aging veterans, and just traded for Metcalf. Admittedly it's a weird state they're in with the QB. If they can't get Rodger, I'd expect them to make a run at Cousins, or perhaps they'll talk to Tannehill.

If that's true, he was the second beat wife out on the Jags. So why is he a free agent today?
How does that logic work?

Pickens was a cancer to the team. Expect them to make a move for a #2. They're in win-now mode. Cooper, Allen, Davis and others are available.

He'd immediately be no worse than the 2nd best WR on the team. However due to investment, he'd probably slot back in as the 4th. Unfortunately the Samuel cap situation makes it hard to dump him, but he'd be a massive upgrade there.
I'd expect Davis to get a shot as a #2 on a needy team.-

At 6'4" 240 combined with his frame, that's not very thick.
Sam laporta is 6'3 245 and looks a whole lot bigger
240 at his size is tiny.
an inch shorter and 5 lbs heavier will make a guy look bigger. There no way in hell he's 220 at 6'4".

That's the point I was trying to make given the anonymous negative reports that came out with him regarding the draft process. I get the argument for having a cost controlled 5th round backup QB for four years that you might be able to flip a pick for but only if that player is willing to accept the role as a backup (what Beane tried to do with Jake Fromm). Based off everything I've seen and heard from him and his father.....that's not happening.
The alternative is retirement. Again,for a 5th round pick, easy gamble. They don't need him to be the guy. If he is and they got him for a 5th? Great!
If Sanders sits and does nothing for 4 years in Cleveland, he'll probably have to sign a 1 year $2M deal with some dumpster fire of a team to try to prove himself in his age 27 season. He has absolutely zero leverage left in his career until he proves he's better than the 3rd string QB he is right now.-

He was a 2nd round talent that dropped to the 5th round because teams wanted to avoid the headache of having him as a backup. If any team wanted to employ your strategy he would've been taken in the 3rd or 4th round. Not worth the headache.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. It sounds like you're making the argument that his skill wasn't worth the draft pick a team would have to use on him concerning his character. if so, I think that's the consensus among NFL folks. However, I think it also came out that as a player he's not nearly as strong a prospect as others in the draft, so there are also real football concerns.
Regardless, It's hard to understand how a 5th round pick could possibly be a meaningful distraction to your football team. He's not going to be getting interviews when he's inactive on game days, and veteran leaders int he lockeroom won't be pushing for him to get starting reps unless he comes out and tears it up. In which case, win for the Browns.

What he shares with both of those guys is that he's a chronic choker who you could put on the most elite team in the league and he'd still find a way to lose. He regresses in the playoffs compared to his regular season in just about every category. That's not a guy I want to try to win a SB with.
