My guess.. Buffalo finally remembers that they should get 4 legit WR’s for Josh Allen. Diggs (outside) RD1/RD2 pick (outside) Samuel (slot) Shakir (WR4 inside/outside) Think back to how they used Diggs, Gabe, Beasley and Sanders.

My real worry is that they view this as making WR optional in RD1. I could 100% see them going DL at 28 and then potentially trading up in RD2. I will be jaw dropped to the floor if they dont go WR in the first 2 rounds.

Jets are making Lazard available for trade? 1) Cue the Rodgers tea leaves 2) Who on earth trading for an overpaid mid WR?

Aside from Morse, Gabe and the sentimental value of Poyer/Hyde, we haven’t really lost much.. but then I look at the list and OMG.

Safety at 28 and I will smash my tv.

Nice signing. We now have 3 inside/outside guys.. Diggs being a traditional outside guy with inside flex and Shakir/Samuel more inside guys with outside flex. Presents a lot of flexibility with Knox/Kincaid in the mix at TE. Still think we need a true outside WR early in the draft and this definitely doesn’t change that. Still.. really nice piece to add. Draft an outside guy early and this WR room starts looking really nice.

Beane is going to need to crush this Draft, because these past two years, most analysts have caught on to the fact that we demand more out of Josh Allen than any team does their QB. And.. as we stand.. even if we go WR early in the Draft, this year - somehow - is shaping up to be the year we need Josh Allen to have even more demanded of him. Defense reliant upon three 30+ guys coming back from injury and an Offense that cut an above average Center and will look to replace Gabe Davis, seemingly, with a rookie.

Von doesn’t sign here without Allen. A bunch of other guys who who could make more elsewhere have stayed, because we have Allen. Without Allen, if given the choice, almost ever FA is taking close or a little less to play in a state like Florida. The Jets, with the allure of NYC, couldn’t even compete with Miami for Tyreek Hill because of this. Only reason Cali gets a pass is because of the weather & LA.

Fwiw, the difference here between certain states and other states is only going to get more drastic as time goes on. We can act like this isn’t a thing, but it 100% is. Having an elite QB is the only thing that offsets it.

This is the Brandon Beane 2024 version of the “Call an ambulance, but not for me” meme Deal is done! …but with the Jags

I love how these posts are worded.. More speed for the Falcons with Ray Ray McCloud More help for Josh Allen with Mack Hollins More protection for (random QB) with 120 pound 5’6 man on one leg

Completely agree. I don't expect us to move up in RD1.. maybe even moving back given the league's shenanigans with our RD3 vanishing pick. However, I expect us to be very active on Day 2.

1) This isn't happening 2) People seem to have zero clue of the draft value chart when it comes to our Day 3 picks. The only way we're materially moving up in Round 1 of this Draft is by packaging 28 and next years RD1.. We only have one Day 2 pick and our RD4's can move us up a couple spots each, at most.

Vikings seemed like a team that could've contended in the NFC if Cousins stayed healthy. Falcons could be interesting this year.

The Bills FO has brought this criticism on themselves. They've been of the philosophy that a strong team across the board with depth can win a Super Bowl. Because of that, we've missed swings that "maybe" could have lead to a different outcome. See last year, spending money on guys like Hines, Matakevich, Poyer.. when maybe Hopkins is what we needed to make a play in the big moment. It's scar tissue. Some of us would rather backfill with the boatload of Day 3 picks we have and get one big piece.. but we were also backed into a corner of our own making where Jones and Epenesa were necessity re-signings.

It's only a matter of time before we get the Josh Allen asking for help and Beane responding with "best I can do is Mack Hollins" meme.

Ok, we have to draft him now.

Y’all are entitled to your opinion, but I think it’s a terrible allocation of money to prioritize a 30 year old above average CB over a 30 year old gamewrecker on the DL. Don’t care about the pick swap. It’s sunk cost.

Why don’t we just move off Douglas and use that money for Armstead? It seems the drop off between DL talent and CB talent is a mile wide in this draft. It seems so simple, but I’m sure someone will tell me why this binary choice is not.

Is Douglas’ contract messed up due to the restructure of we move off him? Were all debating where we can find money for Armstead… What if we just move off Rasul Douglas and bring in Arik Armstead. If we bring back Levi, we have our emergency starter. Benford locks down one spot. Hopefully Elam can have a good summer. Draft a corner or two.

The “hope” is that the answer to this question is: -Von Miller -No clue right now, but I’m tempted to say Kincaid if you need an answer tonight

Id do it. Im at a loss for what this WR room looks like, but pressure from the interior is how you get Mahomes uncomfortable.. especially with how the playoffs are officiated. Armstead, Oliver and Jones is a top tier DT rotation. If they can get it done, im ok relying on the Draft, but would hope we double up with a WR in RD1 and another on Day 2.

There’s 3 differences between us and we all know that what they are: 1) Coaching 2) Injury Luck 3) Hill, Kelce, Jones, Snead. We have not once had an elite non-QB player in the playoffs step up like those guys do/did.

As we’ve seen with injuries these past few years, if your star players go down, you’re screwed anyway. Doesn’t matter if the depth is a 4M per year guy vs a Day 3 guy. In terms of the ultimate goal, you do need to stay healthy. It is what it is. Hopefully Beane is learning his lesson because we need more Armstead’s and less (insert vet making 2-4M all over the roster)
