SCBills

I honestly don’t hate it. If you watch our Embedded, McDermott wanted Van Pran-Granger there, who the Bills got a handful of picks later. Joe Brady seems to want the backs involved in the passing game. Ray Davis is one of the better receiving backs in this Draft, provides us between the tackle running and I don’t think age should be a concern for teams who view RB’s as four year players. The Bills RB vision is definitely prioritizing not needing to change the Offense depending on who is in the game. In fairness, the fact I love what the Bills did in RD5 certainly helps me be more ok with a RB in RD4.

We do have the most draft capital of any team in 2025. Our RD2 and a RD4 (given we should have three) is where I'd think teams would listen. Especially given the fact that most of these WR's won't actually see Free Agency next year. We go through the same song and dance and they all end up traded or re-signed.

Do I think Kincaid has Kelce potential? Yes. Do I think people need to stop using KC/Kelce as blueprint? Yes. It's like how every raw, ultra athletic, big arm QB can now be Josh Allen. Just because it worked for us, doesn't mean it's a blueprint. Josh Allen may be the most purely gifted QB the NFL has ever seen. Kelce may be the best TE in the history of the league.

If you're going to go in on a big investment at WR, either via FA or a trade next year, why wait? That's the part I don't really get. Why purposefully leave that bullet out of the chamber this year, in one of Allen's prime years, if you plan on doing it anyway next year. To what?... Save your RD2 pick and provide a slightly cleaner cap because you didn't have to make room/push money down the road by bringing said player in this year? To me that seems illogical. If you're looking to make that move next year, you should explore making it this year. If you want to see how Coleman, Shakir and Kincaid show out this year before seeing if that move is necessary, then you wait.

I look at the numbers we have competing for WR6 and just think they're planning not to. That's my thinking on why I don't expect it. Because I definitely don't take anything Beane says at face value. i.e. "no big fish", immediately signs Von Miller a day later. It does seem logical that if we are planning on bringing in a big fish next year at WR, that we should probably explore doing it this year. Giving up a pick and shifting money around is completely worthwhile if they are planning on doing it anyway. Why leave that bullet out of the chamber for one of Allen's prime years simply because it saves you a pick and provides you a slightly cleaner cap outlook?

Come playoff time, we have no reason (yet) to think Kelce won't be anything but Kelce. Rice will be back when it matters. Brown & Worthy don't blow anyone's doors off, no, but they do play well off Kelce & Rice who operate in the short/intermediate. That skill group isn't elite, but Kelce is proven elite / Kincaid is not, yet.. Rice has flashed WR1 potential / Shakir is good, but probably more of a complimentary WR .. Brown and Samuel are similar players with different skill sets.. And both teams are depending on a rookie Worthy / Coleman.

I disagree. We could be a juggernaut if everything goes as planned, but we have a lot of what-ifs right now on Offense due to a lack of a true WR1. If we traded for Aiyuk or Metcalf, I honestly don’t know how anyone stops this Offense. I firmly believe we will have a Top 12 OL. Kromer is one of the best in the biz and we have a lot of talented pieces & guys who have been in the system for multiple years on the Offensive Line. You give Allen the following: RB1 - Cook RB2 - Davis RB3 - Johnson TE1 - Kincaid TE2 - Knox TE3 - Morris FB - Gilliam WR1 - DK Metcalf WR2 - Keon Coleman WR3 - Curtis Samuel WR4 - Khalil Shakir WR5 - MVS Sheesh… Good Luck

CBS anytime the Bills and Chiefs play.

Didn't we all think last years schedule was an absolute monster too? And didn't we think the season was over when we stumbled through the "easy" part and had to go on a run through the gauntlet part? Not going to stress about it. You never know who's in and who's out week to week in the NFL. We lost to the Bengals last year, but if that game was scheduled a few weeks later, probably win it easily. It's not so much who you play, but when you play them. We go through this every year.

I think he had a big game against Indy in the Wild Card a few years back too.

In other words .. he's literally Gabe Davis. Steps up in big moments and the team tried to make him more than what he is.

I just don't really see us making a move for another WR at this point. We have 3 locks and 2 semi-locks on this roster. They've brought in about 20 people to compete for WR6. I'm certainly hoping for a surprise trade for Aiyuk or DK Metcalf, but I just don't logically see it. I think the 6/1 money is likely earmarked for another defensive piece, either on the DL or Secondary.. and if Von Miller & Dawuane Smoot show well in their workouts, maybe Beane just holds onto that money.

Netflix has been lacking. I can't think of anything I've really watched on there recently outside Stranger Things. HBO Max has House of the Dragon coming out. Prime just had Fallout and a new season of The Boys coming up.

Coleman Shakir Samuel MVS Hollins Top 4, IMO, will all get legitimate reps each game. WR5 Hollins will have a smaller role on Offense while playing Special Teams. WR6 Battle is going to be wild and I honestly have no idea what Shorter is. We thought enough of him to use a draft pick. He played with an erratic QB at UF, didn't have much in the way of coaching and then redshirted last year.

I love when these broadcast partners flex like everyone should be excited. Everyone hates this, but we'll watch anyway. It is what it is.

How is it that Fetterman goes 10x harder on these communists than any Republican in the Senate… by a lot.

Spending available cap space is nowhere close to “pushing all our chips in”. Regardless, writing off a prime year of Josh Allen is absolute malpractice. Next year we will still have some cap space, but more importantly, will be able to infuse the roster with another massive influx of young, cheap talent with our 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4 etc., draft capital.

I don’t know that we make a trade, but I 100% think he’s using some of it one of the positions you just outlined. I think they’ll monitor Von and see what he looks like .. and if need be, make a call to Ogbah, Clowney etc. Could also see depth a CB. Trade for a WR or a signing like Justin Simmons are what I’d want, but think are unlikely.

I guarantee you he doesn't only use that money for that.

Not the biggest fan of Vivek, but holy hell he is an effective communicator on this..

From the state that brought you “black people don't know what computers are”…

Counterpoint is that the Dolphins will have their pass rushers as the season progresses. They've also lost a good bit and may not have Chubb or Phillips to start the season.

Let's just hope the Defense, where we have recent investment in guys like Oliver, Jones, Epenesa, Von, Milano, Johnson & Douglas, along with high draft picks in Rousseau, Carter, Bernard, Elam & Bishop also holds up it's end of the deal. Especially when it matters. We've asked Josh to carry this team since he made the jump to elite QB. Analyst after analyst point out how he's asked to do more for our team than any QB in the league has to do for theirs. And for the most part, he has elevated everyone. And in the Playoffs, he is the equal to the man leading the league's current dynasty. Now, we seem to be building an Offense that is equipped to take more off his plate, but without anyone that truly scares a Defense (as we sit here today). Let's see how it goes. We only get so many prime Josh Allen years. They better have a plan, and that plan better work.

Judging by Embedded, if we didn't go Ray Davis, it was going to be Van Pran-Granger, who we got a round later. I'm not in love with spending a 4th on a RB. That said.. I do think Brady's Offense likes having good receivers as backs. When Cook comes out and Davis goes in, we might not have the down field WR routes that Cook can run, but Davis is an above average receiving back, so we still can operate the same offense regardless of who's in the game.
