Success

I'm good trading up, or standing pat. A trade back would be tough. We traded Stephon Diggs. We have 2 receivers who are basically #3 guys right now. We need not just an immediate starter at that position - but a guy who can be an immediate #1.

I'd be thrilled. But I'd also steer clear of this board for a bit.

It's easy to agree w/ this. But, when you have a great QB - it's also hard to overstate how impactful a great WR can be, that you can pair w/ that QB for many years ahead. A Montana/Rice kind of situation here in Buffalo would be scary for the league. With Kincaid, Cook & Shakir, and the fairly young line we have, it's almost like we wouldn't have to even worry about personnel on the offensive side of the ball for another few years. I'm good w/ whatever tonight - but it won't bother me if we give up a real ransom for Odunze or Nabers.

Honestly, that was a bad GM. He had tunnel vision about Mack, so went WAY out of his way to find some flaw w/ Callahan (teammates at a b-day party? Did he ask about Mack's birthday?) No objectivity, and very stubborn. I doubt that Browns team ended up doing anything.

If we have Nabers or Odunze at this time tomorrow, I'll be thrilled. Losing the picks would hurt. But having a top receiver on a rookie contract will also allow us to add more through FA.

It's about health. This team is as good or "close to as good" as any team in the league, especially with Allen. SB should be the expectation.

By "unpopular," do you mean "insane"?

If we come up short again....why not? I like McD, but we have certainly underachieved up until now. If we have another divisional round exit or worse, I think most would agree we can't waste more of JA's prime. I would be thrilled if we hired Belichick if that was the case. He's a terrible GM - but the best coach of all time. Who says no to that? I'm pulling for McD to come through, but if we underachieve again, this would have to be on the table (imo).

Great read! As good as any other mock out there. Though, I would be surprised if we trade back instead of up. Just not that deep of a draft, per just about everyone.

So, this turned into another Mahomes & KC worship thread. Cool.

Crybaby.

Well, I actually do believe in the cosmic aspect of things. But not as far as me influencing anything by trolling opposing fans here.

Huh? What are you even talking about? If Success the message board poster changes his outlook, the Bills will get past KC and win a SB? Sounds easy. I respect KC. You have veered into worship. To each his own.

I haven't discredited anything they've accomplished.

Burrow got hurt, KC happened to get hot at the right time. I'm sure you'll get some nice emojis from the KC fans here, though.

There is a reason teams don't 3-peat. Some will chuckle - but our biggest competition next year is in Cincy, and Houston.

Anyone else wildly relieved that Diggs is gone? Loved what he did for us, but he was & is the diva Vikings fans were talking about when we traded for him.

Floyd basically disappeared at the end of the season. Diggs was playing more like a #3 option. Tre was one of our best players - but has hardly been on the field the last few years. Hyde & Poyer - love 'em both - were both noticeably slower. We may actually be better in the secondary now. Morse will be missed. But not if McGovern can step up. So, my answer would be "no."

I'd love it. People are talking about trading for Aiyuk or Higgins. You get a guy like Nabers, you're giving up valuable draft picks - but w/ the money you save having a top tier talent on a rookie contract, you can fill holes in FA instead.

100% agree w/ this. I'm surprised the OP poll is split close to 50/50. I thought everyone would be on board w/ a trade up. We're talking about getting a player who can be Allen's go-to for a decade, and give opposing DC's nightmares. They could be one of the legendary combo's of NFL history when all is said & done. I wouldn't compromise on that possibility.

I think we'd have to give up way too much. But I'd also be wildly excited. Ultimately, we could be talking about a combo nearly as legendary as Montana/Rice, for the next decade. What's that worth?

Well, except for the whole "beating the eventual SB champs at their house" thing....

We mainly lost older guys who couldn't stay healthy. We almost beat KC w/ Diggs not really showing up and dropping a pass that could have won that game. I feel confident that whoever we get in the 1st round can at least match the 40 yards per game production we were seeing in the last half of the season. We might be better w/ younger, faster guys at safety. Losing Morse is more of a big deal, but if McGovern can excel there, it's a wash. I'm not seeing any kind of devastating roster turnover. We were old, and got younger, and faster. And we'll get a bunch of guys back who weren't even playing at the end, or were playing hurt.

The Texans are being overrated. I said it yesterday - people should check their schedule last season. They didn't beat many good teams. They'll have a 1st place schedule this year, and won't catch teams by surprise like they did in '23. Not that they won't be in contention, but they haven't proven much to me yet.

WR salaries are getting silly. I don't see us trading for another big contract. Trade up in the draft & get Odunze or Nabers, and get a #1 on a rookie salary for a few years.
