BuffaloBillsGospel2014

Solid top 3 although Buffalo hasn't brought in WR Javon Baker in any capacity that I see, not virtual/combine/sr Bowl, nodda which is surprising since he's a really good WR prospect imo. It doesn't mean we can't take him but have the Bills ever selected a player in the Beane/McDermott era who wasn't brought in for any interviews? Kincaid was interviewed privately at the combine last year at least but wasn't brought in on a top 30 visit.

Dad?

There might not be much choice in the matter, they'll have about 9M in cap space post June 1st, with a bit over 5M to sign the rookies. Doubtful that a Michael Thomas or an OBJ type of player is signing for less than 4M per season imo but who knows, it should be interesting to see what the plan is.

They have filled Gabes spot imo with Samuel, he was the #2 WR in Carlolina when Brady was OC.

Tyreek Hill has a SB ring, both Devonta Smith/AJ Brown were runners up in a SB. We made it to the conference round and 3 division rounds with Diggs at WR. The bengals went to a SB with Chase/Higgins. The Rams won a SB with Cooper Kupp/OBJ. Just stating that WR "hasn't really dont anything" or "Haven't gotten over the hump" is a pretty short sighted take imo. Unfortunately it appears we're playing in another era where there is a Brady in patrick Mahomes and only 1 team can win, right now that's Mahomes.

He's a failed prospects, he doesn't hold much value or he would have been dealt by now imo.

It could be that but I think there is genuine interest which is warranted, he's a really good prospect in this class who improved his numbers each and every year and wound up with 81 receptions, 1,383 yards and 14 TD's. A good route tree , nice hands although did have some drops.

He's Jalen Hyatt with better route running ability. Jalen Hyatt 6'0 176 lbs. ran a 4.40 and many here loved the speed coming out of Tennessee, he is raw and needs to work on his route tree. Troy Franklin is 6'2" 176 lbs out of Oregon, ran a 4.41 40, has deep speed but much better route tree. He's labeled a late 1st to mid 2nd round prospect that the Bills have now brought in for a top 30 visit, a private workout and met with him at the combine so they really like him and he's an interesting prospect for sure.

I somewhat agree here but comparing Matt Ryan to Tom Brady (The best QB in NFL history) is a bad comparison but i also agree that Josh Allen makes everyone around him better (John Brown/Cole Beasley/Stefon Diggs all had career best stats with Allen at QB) so the notion that we have to trade up or even draft a QB at 28 is a bit of a stretch although it would definitely make Allens life easier if that hit on a QB at pick 28 imo.

When you say Brian Thomas Jr. put up better numbers it was by a small margin... Thomas Jr. ran a 4.33 40, Legette ran a 4.39 40 , Thomas ran a 1.5 10 yard split, Legette ran a 1.54 10 yard split. Thomas had a 38.5" vertical jump plus 10.6 broad jump and Legette had a 40" vertical jump plus a 10.6 broad jump so that to me is apples and oranges. I'm not saying Brian Thomas Jr wont be a solid WR in the NFL but I also feel if you put Legette in the LSU offense and Thomas Jr. in the South Carolina offense we may be talking about Legette where Nabors is but of course there is no way to tell that so my eyeballs see a guy who is in the same dominant mold as D.K. Metcalf. If you don't agree I'm fine with that it's just my opinion and I'm sure there are a bunch on here that have the WR they like and have to have. I wouldn't hate it if we landed Brian Thomas I would just hate it if we traded up and spent more draft picks than we need to.

I have yet to see a single final 4.

Or stay at #28 and draft Xavier Legette who will be the best WR in this class.

I've always followed the Steelers for quite some time and consider them my 2nd team when the Bills were always out of it half way through the season and I root for them when we don't play together. Diontae Johnson had the luxury of playing with Big Ben for his first 3 seasons and by year 3 was Ben's go to WR after the AB situation. I think he would have been a big upgrade to Samuel and would have at the very least lessened the blow of losing Diggs imo. He was a model citizen with ben at QB but started getting Diggs-esque when Pickett/Trubisky/Rudolph took over as QB which is kind of understandable. Most WR's I feel have a bit of diva in them so I don't see it as a terrible thing when they blow up every now and again just not an AB type of blow up.

Josh Allen

The reality is nobody but Allen and Diggs know's the reason why this trade went down and we probably never will which is fine with me but the fact that we know Allen knew in some way that Diggs would possibly be dealt and didn't nix the trade whatsoever speaks volumes imo.

I'm wondering why you would say it's tough to fathom? we would still own a 2025 2nd rounder from the Diggs trade and you're just swapping out the 60th pick for whatever pick you decide to move up for. Why do you think that's a bad move?

Not everyone is going to like the WR or player the Bills select at 28 (If they dont trade up/down or for a player). I think Mitchell is going to be an excellent player in a year or so but I expect growing pains along the way along with just about every young prospect. Insert McKonkey at 28 and Legette in the trade up in the 2nd, whoever they feel can help elivate us.

I would stay at 28 and draft AD Mitchell who should be there for us, in the 2nd round I'd trade pick 60 plus our 2nd (Bills) round pick in 2025 (it may take a bit more since I'm not around a draft value chart atm) and move up to take either Xavier Legette/Ladd McKonkey. We still have our 1st next year and Minnesota's 2nd next year which should be a high pick. and our WR core looks like this: AD Mitchell Curtis Samuel Khalil Shakir Ladd McKonkey or Xavier Legette Mack Hollins Justin Shorter I'd like some home grown WR prospects other than going out and not only spending draft picks but having to sign guys to WR 1 money right out of the gate. Allen made the playoffs with John Brown, Cole Beasley, Zay Jones and Duke Williams at WR so he sure as hell could do wonders with the above. It will take some time and getting used to the new guys for sure but I think it will work out great in the end.

The simple answer is the Texans gave them the most compensation.

From what I'm hearing and reading we didn't have a #1 in Diggs either, Just saying.

Curtis Samuel is our #1 WR right now. Beane definitely has something up his sleeve wether it’s drafting back to back WR this year, trading for Higgins/Aiyuk or trading up for Harrison/Odunze/Nabors, something will get done since Beane at least up until now hasn’t done things on the fly for no reasoning.

Strange, I googled Mohamed Kamara east west shrine game and the first article that popped up was "Kamara's abilities as a pass rusher were on display in the Shrine Bowl, particularly in the first half. He showed nice speed around the edge forcing opposing quarterbacks to make several uncomfortable throws throughout the game." All the articles below also state the same 1 of them being Sports Illustrated. I didn't watch the game so I can't tell you but if he had that terrible of a performance I think it would be there no?

I really liked Maxx Crsoby the year came out and I might like Kamara even more, relentless just like Crosby but I think Kamara has more power. I really wish he was a bit taller and heavier but I think he could be a steal in the 4th round (as he's projected by some to be a 3rd-4th round prospect).

Edge rusher Mohamed Kamara ran a 4.57-40, 30.5 sacks at Colorado State OT Patrick Paul ran a 5.10- 40, he's 6'7" 331 lbs., 2 time team captain (McDermott really loves these types), he's #76 and the 1 always mauling everyone

Gone too soon, watch over our Bills young sir and rest in paradise!
