Aaron Schobel and Lee Evans. Kyle Williams broke it. Eric Moulds was pre drought. Biggest holes on the roster. A guy who can get a sack and a deep threat.

Unless one is develop in house I dont think they go get another one. They are putting alot into Coleman. They feel he will be able to fit some of that role. Shakir is ascending and will be larger factor than many expect. He will be used liked Diggs not just a slot. Either they look like geniuses or they seal their own fates.

Correct. Best Qb he has had a complete offseason with. Brady is making an offense with Coleman as a primary target. Behind Coleman, Shakir, and Samuel it is wide open. By far the best opportunity he could have asked for. For Buffalo if he doesn’t fit in you send him packing.

I think they keep it as is. Post camp if there is an injury or young skill guys dont take the required “step” I can see Beane making a move at that point.

I think with Shorter, Shavers, Hollins, Coleman and Claypool they have a prominent role in the offense for a large outside wr. Coleman slides into the lead role with Hollins helping and ultimately being the backup. Shorter, Shavers, and Claypool are fighting for 1 spot. Having 3 guys out of 5 or 6 that style does point to a change in player archtypes.

Comes down to Shakir and Kincaid. If they maintain some of their efficiency with more volume Buffalo will have a very good offense. Coleman is the x factor. If he plays well the offense could be better. Having top pass catcher also be a plus blocker opens alot up in play action. With smaller defenses and 2 deep coverage Buffalo is going with a more bully style of offense.

When Claypool had Ben he was good. Chicago was a mess without Claypool. I dont think he was a fit in Miami with the style of Wr they have. He very well could be done. If so he is cut. There is a none 0 zero chance he bounces back to a productive player in Buffalo. Stable environment, elite Qb, and an offense being constructed with a player of his skill set in mind. Add in the targets available with Diggs and Davis gone this is a huge opportunity most likely his last.

I think he was comfortable using body positioning to create separation that way. By being late to football it explains his lack of technique. I hope by training with Chase and Nabers he tightens up his footwork. At the beginning and catch point he is good. Working on his breaks could do wonders.

I don't see them making a big move. Coleman is the earliest Wr drafted by Beane. I also think he is very high on Shakir. Slot and Z will be interchangeable by Samuel and Shakir.

My point he is filling in for a large outside wr. Similar strengths and weaknesses. Playing a few snaps out wide for Mia is a different animal with plays designed for Waddle and Hill. Not being part of the gameplan but having a style of play that is.

I think it shows they have role they want filled in the offense. Coleman is a style of wr Allen hasn't had and the offense hasn't utilized. I think Shorter, Shavers and Claypool will compete to be the primary back up to Coleman. Hollins though could be that I see him more as Davis/Sherfield role. He is solidly the 4th wr. Isabella and Hamler are also on the roster. I think one of them makes it as well. Slot and deep threat ability with returner duties.

Defenses really stopped worrying about Diggs getting down field. The offense was fine without getting production from both. Coleman in a condensed set will help in the run game and also provide those big slot routes. Claypool has his best chance since Pittsburgh to produce. Mcdaniel saw him as a te. Could be the primary back up for Coleman. Obvious big role is being developed for him.

He is paid as a starter. Samuel and Shakir will get a bunch of targets in the area Diggs and Beasley operated for years. Samuel adds the backfield and jet sweep element without having personnel tip off the defense.

I assume he waited til after the draft. Claypool is probably who Beane was referring too. Claypool is at the same age but carries more potential than any 6 or 7 rounder they could have selected. Shavers, Shorter, Claypool and Cephus fight for wr 5 or 6.

Has potential and probably the best path to make the roster and a role. Low risk full off season with a real qb maybe he matured and takes advantage. At his age athletic profile its a no brainer move. I would almost write Hollins on the roster in sharpie at this point.

I do not see any difference in any name on this list. All of them put up numbers 2 to 3 years ago. Picking the younger guys inspires some hope they could reach those numbers again. Post draft FA signings are all similar unless its a real deal with real guaranteed money like Flloyd last season.

I think Jones and Spector are battling for the Matekavic role. Special teams but offer something on defense in coverage if needed.

The spring battle of Claypool and Shorter for the title of camp hero will be entertaining. Shorter has the age and draft capital but Claypool has the better nickname.

After draft and UDFAs they still are a few shy of 90. These are guys who could make the roster but are vet min guys. Im not sure Beane does anything of note at wr in June. Maybe end of camp if they do not see growth from Coleman or Shakir.

Played decently with the ghost of Big Ben.

Low risk move. Has the tools that if he puts it together can be more than camp body. Played special teams the last few years so a strong contestant to be the 5th or 6th wr. Honestly, I will take MapleTron over a late day 3 pick at wr.

Only way? No. But no different than Mikes. They do similar things pre snap a Qb does. This is not highschool or college where you call a play and thats it. Some defenses have a handful of coverages some have more. By utilizing the split saftey look they have the ability to do much more. Mcdermott is a Shanahan McVay defensive coach. His defense changes week by week. At mike and Safety they need guys comfortable with the whole defense to not only execute the game plan but handle the gameday adjustments in real time and keep the defense sound.

Thats my point. He was giving the full red carpet treatment you could at 19/20. Come practice time saw they needed a return guy and raised his hand. I like the way be carries himself and physicality he plays with. Going to be real easy to root for.

Agree. McGovern has a short leash.
