We need a replacement for Morse and interior lineman can often be found deep in the draft. I like this pick.

Let me get the armchair GM hot take comment out of the way “But I wanted a WR and I saw Rice once in a college football game and he made a nice play, so Beane is a moron for not drafting him. Now we don’t have a #1 WR because of this. Buffalo shouldn’t ever draft a defensive player or offensive lineman again. Beane is the worst GM EVER! Now we will NEVER win a super bowl”

I get the preference for receivers and some fans wishing that they drafted someone else. What I do not get is the logic from fans who see drafting a WR with their first pick as "doing nothing" to upgrade the position and at the same time think that trading up to get a WR in Franklin who everyone passed on three times will instantly solve the WR depth issue.

Do you have definitive proof that Worthy and Leggette are better or did you just personally like their highlight reel more? I would have personally preferred McConkey or Leggette, but Buffalo addressed their two positions of need last night. Whether or not the right players were picked remains to be seen, but I can assume that Allen, Beane and McDermott know more about who fits their system than you or me do. I'm willing to let the season play out before reserving judgment on the draft.

Who says that we are done? Buffalo has enough picks for trade capital. Maybe Franklin falls to Buffalo or Buffalo moves up to get him. Maybe a trade for Aiyuk or Higgins is on the table. I would prefer a veteran. Any Receiver left in the draft is no more or less likely to contribute this year than Shorter, Hollins or Isabella.

I agree. After decades of drafts, I've learned to look more at the positions drafted than the players. So many hyped players do nothing and many more come out of nowhere to become stars. If Josh Allen, McDermott and Beane thought that Keon Coleman was the best fit, that is a more reliable assessment than me thinking that Ladd McConkey was the best choice four hours ago because I read a few articles this morning. Buffalo drafted their two top positions, added two picks and drafted a DT that most are rating as a good pick. On paper, that was the logical path. We will only know for sure after seeing the players in action.

I know nothing about the pick, but the highlights of him make me think of the same style player as Kyle Williams. Hopefully he works out.

I was irritated about giving a WR to the Chiefs at first, but warmed up to the concept more overnight. If Buffalo is confident that whoever they draft or trade for at WR is going to be better than Xavier Worthy, then I trust them and am glad that they added two picks. Maybe Buffalo finds their next, Milano, Bernard or Shakir with one of those added picks. I will be interested to see what this trade looks like in two years.

I would be completely pleased with grabbing two extra picks and likely getting who they wanted at 28 anyway if it was any other team besides the Chiefs. Giving a rival a chance to upgrade their weakest position is not logical. Now to see what Buffalo does. Maybe Buffalo likes Adonai Mitchell or Keon Coleman at WR, Maybe those picks are leverage for a trade to get Aiyuk or Higgins. It will be interesting to see what the roster looks like in three days. I will reserve judgement until then.

Group think is Rampant everywhere. If you take a middle ground stance on something, 40 percent of the country will be furious at you one way or the other. Conspiracy theories are generally exaggerated version of things that people should be concerned about. Unfortunately, some people on the left are willing to call any deviation from media reported status quo a conspiracy theory. In the same way, some people on the right will call any belief system different from theirs "woke". If people stopped calling people overused buzzwords to demonize opponents and talked things out more, the world would be a better place.

The most memorable Bill is Reich with Fitz as a close second. The best as far as most talented was Diggs. It ended poorly, but his presence was a big part of the Bills success under McDermott.

Maybe as a low risk/low cost flyer to see if he can add anything like we are doing with with K.J. Hamler, but not for anything more than that.

I can't imagine if there was social media during the times of the Bickering Bills.

Earthquakes, TBD Server Maintenance, Total eclipses, Human Sacrifices, Dog and cats living together........

A textbook example of how numbers don't always tell the full story.

I agree with both of these statements. McDermott gutted the team and game as close to starting from scratch as you could without being an expansion team. I remember that at one point in early 2017, before free agency started, there were only about 30 people officially on the Bills roster, including futures contract players. From there, two more key players in Watkins and Darby were traded before the season started. By 2018 there were very few people left from the previous regime. The 2016 roster had talent but a weak culture. That wasn't all Rex Ryan's fault, it was an accumulation of five mediocre coaches over 16 years, but Rex was not likely to change that. The talent was less in 2017, but the people brought in believed in the system. "Trusting the process" might be stale to some now, but it was what was needed to get out of the drought.

McDermott's in-game management is questionable, but he was Vince Lombardi compared to Ryan's game management. Who can forget the penalties, including one or two for 12 men on the field every game? There was a lackadaisical culture, and Rob Ryan's defenses made almost every quarterback look like Allen or Mahomes. There was no culture, and most of the more talented players were there for the paycheck. Revisionist history can make the grass seem greener, but most of us couldn't wait to see Ryan gone by the end of 2016. I know we are frustrated with being stuck in the mud as a playoff but not a Super Bowl team, but let's not forget where we were in the drought.

I want to reserve judgement until I see what the cap looks like and what Buffalo adds at WR before the season. Buffalo was not getting past the divisional round with last years set up. If Allen has five to ten good years left, I would be willing to take a step back for one year if it meant true Super Bowl contention after.

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) partially owns the team and "the Brahma Bull" was one of his wrestling nicknames. Fun fact, the roster includes former Bill Marquez Stevenson. I remember many people thinking that he was going to be a hidden gem a couple of years ago.

Not a bad signing for veteran eepth. With 11 picks, I'm sure that we are adding at least one defensive lineman. If our rookies aren't ready, we have a backup. If not. he either gets cut or stashed on the practice squad. No biggie, we aren't getting 90 pro bowlers, especially at vet minimum.

Great, another rule that is up to the "interpretation" of refs. I can't wait for the first prime time Chiefs game where Kelce is stopped short on 4th and long with less than a minute to go only to have a flag come out 30 seconds after the play is over for "illegal hip tackle".

Center, Safety and Defensive End are the three biggest question marks. We lost experience and leadership in those position and there is no guarantee that the replacements can fill that void. McDermott has a strategy of finding veteran at low prices in free agency after being silent on Day 1. Given the cap situation, I was pleasantly surprised with who we brought in. Now we see if they fit the system. Maybe our signings are the next Beasley, Hyde or Poyer. Maybe they end up replacement level or worse like Saffold, Addison or Sherfield. Whether or not we took a step back depends on what our signings bring to the table. The Free agent signings over the last 7 years are mixed in level of success, so are the drafts for that matter. We have no way of knowing how it pans out until the season.

Edwards has a similar profile to Hyde and Poyer before they joined. Hopefully he continues the tradition. It will be tough to replace what was likely Buffalo's best all time safety duo overnight, but I like Edwards as an #2 or #3 option. With less than 60 on the roster and a draft coming, I am assuming that there will be at least one more option added. Hopefully Blackmon or a high draft pick.

If Diggs tweeted about having a Pizza for dinner, the media would give a headline stating "Diggs wants to play for Jets!!!". Nothing to see here.

Somewhere in New Orleans. Exec 1: Carr is too turnover prone and Winston has a history of interceptions. We need a different option. Exec 2: I know, how about Nathan Peterman Exec 1: Brilliant!
