Who wants the Bills to take Dejean at 28 … even if he is the best player left on the board ?
Not me… not this year …
I would. Defense is where this team has fallen apart historically and it's where KC has a massive edge. They make it a lot harder for Allen to score than we make it for Mahomes.

Hadn't even thought about that. Good point. He was a 2nd wasn't he? Jesus what an awful franchise.
#35 overall

Worst Pick
I hate what the Raiders did. Hate it. Okay, they were probably planning to take Penix, thought they were safe to wait until #13 for him and then wham the Falcons gazump them. But for a team with so many major holes to spend the 13th overall pick on a tight is just baffling to me. They have basically one proven player on their offensive line in Kolton Miller but refused to take advantage of the excellent tackle class. Their starting corners are Jack Jones who even Bill Belichick couldn't turn into a serviceable DB and was picked up off waivers from New England and a guy name Jakorian Bennett (no? me neither) and yet they pass on Quinyon Mitchell and Terrion Arnold. Hell I think wide receiver would have been a luxury pick but at least there you can say well their #1 in Devante Adams turns 32 during next season and might be coming to the end. This is nothing against Brock Bowers. In the 11 seasons I have been doing this he became only the third tight end I had a true 1st round grade on. He is a good player. I wish him well. But for a team with holes at the spots that most impact you winning and losing football games to spend the 13th overall pick on a tight end when the board was as it was? Speechless. Dumb, dumb move.
Kinda wild considering they spent a premium pick on Mayer just last season.

Josh is in the prime of his career, and he has no weapons. What Beane did was unacceptable.
Mahomes is in the prime of his career and won 2 Super Bowls with less weapons than the Bills had. Weapons have never been the problem for us.

I'm looking to trade down if we get a rich offer and package some of our day 3 picks to get a top 120 pick.

The value for Cooper DeJean there is pretty insane. He's significantly better than the WRs. If they don't want him, I'd prefer they trade down again and try to compile more picks. If we could end up with 4 picks between round 2 and the end of the 3rd, I think we're in a fantastic position to address the bloodbath that we created in the offseason.

IDK if the WR the Chiefs selected is great, but he is FAST. With JA17's rocket arm... why not take him?
because he's a bad deep ball receiver.

WGR is saying that the Bills might try to trade back again
would be a great move imo. We need 5 starting players, not the 1 elite WR 90% of this board thinks.

Why not talk about the entire defensive backfield? After the starting five of Benford, Douglas, Johnson, Rapp, and Edwards, our best DB is Cam Lewis.😦
Exactly. our backfield is a mess. You lose Douglas for any length of time and it's easily the worst unit in the league.

They learn about daily habits and discipline and mindsets that can make preparation more efficient and effective. In college these guys had SO much coaching and mentoring. In the pros, oddly enough, it's a little less hands-on. Having a real pro in the room can be incredibly helpful.
Right, but you'd think that you wouldn't need to pay $180M for that kind of mentorship.

they’d rather have him sit and learn under Cousins than Heinecke? I dunno
How much does a QB actually learn from the starter? They get access to tons of film and NFL coaching regardless of who the starter is.

I'll be excited but nervous about him. He excites me as a player. He doesn't sound like the same type of "process" Buffalo Bills guy the other 2 guys are. With Diggs gone, I want the most team first Elite WR we can get.
Larry Fitzgerald is busy. Outside of him, that player doesn't exist.

WR almost has to become like RB. Draft one then let him walk and draft anotherThese deals are insane
Why? They're getting the deals so clearly the demand is there. A lot more WRs are drafted than RBs and it's a lot harder to find decent production out of them.

Aiyuk and Higgins are both going to use 30M per as a starting point now.
Jefferson might as well ask for 40M at this point.
Why? St Brown is considerably better than both of them.

Well. Mathieu was a 3rd rd pick.
both were also considered safeties in the nfl. Which is what they are. Fitzpatrick even asked to be traded by Miami because he was out of position and went to the Steelers and haven’t looked back from the safety position since. which is also fine, but in reality if the Bills take a S in the first round with the other needs we have I think it’s a HUGE MISTAKE, and I’m pretty sure most would agree.
im not saying there is anything wrong with Dejean. But I think it’s apparent that it’s not a guarantee what position he is best suited for in the NFL. And using a first rd pick on a guy that’s not considered one of the best defenders in football like both Mathieu and Fitzpatrick were coming out of college, would be a huge disappointment.
Why would most agree with taking a safety in the first round being a terrible decision if an elite prospect is there? We know from firsthand experience that Rapp is not a starting caliber Safety, and Mike Edwards has been atrocious throughout his career. You may not care about it much in April, but when Mahomes is burning us deep in January, you'll sure act surprised and blame the player when the GM and fans in the know knew full well they weren't up to the task.
We have three primary needs: Safety(x2), DE and WR. In a deep WR draft, it's more likely we can get good talent later than a starting caliber safety. -

Well. I think the difference is that Dejean is listed as a CB in college (not every year but in 2023 he was) and we’re talking about him moving around and being a tweener at multiple positions in the NFL. Where as Urlacher was the tweener in college and he played generally LB in the nfl (other than his first season).
my point is this, in the first round you should be getting a guy that you think is going to be a solid starter at a specific position of need in your team. Not a Swiss Army knife that isn’t great at anything but able to do 3-4 different positions. To me, this kid looks like a go between of a safety and a CB, and will excel at special teams. I don’t see him as much more than a role player. Which is fine, but not worthy of a wasted #1 pick.
And for the record, bringing up a guy like Urlacher being drafted 24 years ago would be like anyone bringing up Len Dawson being one of the best ever. Completely different times. The game has changed. Not even in the same argument.
Minkah Fitzpatrick? Tyrann Mathieu?

I'm not sure what criteria you use to determine whether a team is a Super Bowl contender, but whatever it is, I doubt that it's based on anything except emotion. The Bills won the AFCE with a 5 game win streak at the end of the season that included wins over the Chiefs, the Cowboys and the Dolphins. In fact, the Bills swept their main AFCE rival, the Fins. They earned the #2 seed in the AFC. They manhandled the Stillers in the wild card round. FTR, the Bills whom you claim were "NOT EVEN CLOSE to being anywhere near a Super Bowl contender" was the only AFC team to play the Chiefs tough down to the closing minutes in the playoffs -- and that with the defense being decimated with injuries so badly that they only started 4 LBs against KC and were missing key DBs as well.
Never emotion, sadly. That would make life a lot easier. Just talent and coaching.

You realize you were wrong, and those who felt we were contenders were right?
Its pretty obvious if it weren't for injuries that we beat KC and are a win against playoff Lamar away from going to the Superbowl. Even with the injuries that game ended up being a toss up.
You are clowning yourself. If you're gonna troll at least be good at it.
Obvious? My man, we were NOT EVEN CLOSE to being anywhere near a Super Bowl contender last year. Those top 4 teams were playing a different sport than the Bills.

Do you think the Bills “didn’t have a chance” this past year? For most of the season they had the second or third best odds to win the Super Bowl…
I know you didn't ask me, but I sure didn't. I think I have posts around here saying they had no chance to win a Super Bowl somewhere around the Bengals or Broncos game and I got lambasted for it. Then everyone acted surprised when we lost to KC, but I expected it the whole season. I saw how we won and how we lost and I knew it wouldn't be good enough in January and February and it wasn't.
Also, it seems like you don't know how betting odds work. Being a "favorite" by a bookmaker has nothing to do with how likely you are to win. It has to do with compensating against the expected action so that the bookmaker doesn't end up on the losing side of an outcome. All it means is that Vegas is expecting action on the Bills.-
