    Joe Haden… I think he’s our guy at CB2

     We need CBs  bad. We have Tre but if ain’t ready to go we need a guy with experience to man his spot until he’s ready. Fully expect them to take a guy round 1 and possibly 2. Dane Jackson hasn’t shown enough to be handed that job going into camp,  neither has anyone else left on our roster. Hayden is a good option in my opinion. Rather them go get Gilmore but I don’t see it happening with all we have done so far. 

    Go get Metcalf!

    While that is not out of the question long term.........an injury could happen or something..........it isn't trending that way by any means..

     

    Metcalf is a career 65 yard per game receiver and I suspect he would be an 80 yard per game receiver with Josh Allen.........like he was with Russell Wilson in 2020(Russ missed a lot of time in 2021).

     

    Gabe has had Josh Allen as his QB and has been a 35 yard per game receiver.    The big game against the Chiefs in the playoffs skews rational analysis for many fans.


    Gabe’s time on the field has been limited because this coaching staff is so high on veteran experience over young unproven players. Look at our Dline, took Ed and Harrison 3 and 4 years to develop because of limited reps. Aj, Boogie and Groot probably headed down the same path…  Gabe is a way better route runner then Metcalf  and has way better hands. Sanders and Brown never outplayed Gabe at #2, this coaching staff just got a hardon for the vets. Metcalf is a physical freak, and should be much more then 65 yard a game guy. Jmo. I don’t think he’ll reach full potential and probably fade in a few more years.

    Bills fans have an amusing infatuation with UDFA/7th picks at WR. First it was Martin Nance and then that DaRick Rogers guy. How often does that work out? I’m not saying it never happens, but it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I think Stevie Johnson is the only one that I can think of in recent memory that actually panned out.


    I think WR is a huge need for this team as well, the only reason I didn’t include it in our draft needs is because I think Buffalo needs to go here in FA. I’ll admit that there’s a few guys I’m salivating over in the draft, mainly that kid from USC and that kid from Kentucky, but WR typically has a steep learning curve and I think that there’s some really quality plug in play guys in FA that would provide us with great value financially and could provide us instantly with a high level of production.

     

    I think that Buffalo should ultimately go corner and OL in the draft, mainly because we can free up big money here by cutting Feliciano and by not overpaying an average corner like Levi Wallace big money.

     

    I would also argue that a solid LB is a necessity as well. I like the Tindall kid from Georgia, he’s probably a big upgrade over Edmunds, Klein and Matekavich and we would be paying him a lot less money and we could hopefully free up even more cap room here as well.


    All kinds of late round WR picks go on to have decent careers in the NFL, not just Stevie Johnson. 
     

    You normally see these guys turn up more on a team with solid QB play, something Bills haven’t had in many years but have now.

    I could be wrong but I think they drafted Stevenson to be that speedy deep threat WR we lacked after we parted from John Brown.

     

    The problem I have with Stevenson in the return game is that he seemed to lack field vision and cutting ability, which is something you can show in any aspect of the game.  Guy without field vision or cutting ability is not a guy who's gonna play in the slot.  Miles to go there. 

     

    The guy you draft in the 6th is typically a guy who doesn't have a complete game and who is expected to need a couple years of development, so I'm sure he'll come into camp.

     
    So you are basing everything on his return game. 😂 Coming out of college his vision with the ball in his hand was one of his strengths. We’ll see I guess. I’m not saying he’s the answer but I always thought that’s what they would be hoping for him.  Just think it’s funny people giving up on a WR because of a shaky rookie season returning punts.

    The point is, McKenzie wants a chance to start in the slot (listen to his podcast with Ty Dunne, he made that clear) and be paid more than vet minimum.   His best route to regular offensive playing time is the slot, so if Beasley is on the field in the slot, McKenzie's on the bench.

     

    "Room for both on the roster if the Cap allows": Beasley is due $7.2M and is 33 years old.  If we keep him, we have to scrimp somewhere else, so we probably need to go low budget at #4 WR on, unless that #4 guy is our PR/KR too.  I think it's fair to say McKenzie failed his PR audition, and we'll be looking elsewhere.

     

    Whether or not we keep Beasley on the roster, we need to find room to develop his replacement.  So if they don't think McKenzie is that guy, we probably need to move on and draft/develop another young player. 

     

    Please note that I like McKenzie and feel he fills a valuable role on the team, I'm just being pragmatic.  If we move on from Beasley, there might be room for him, but if he wants a chance to play from the slot and Beasley is back, chances are he's going to go somewhere else.


    I thought Stevenson would be the replacement for Beasley at some point. People are shitting on him about the return game but we know nothing about him as a WR at this point. Which is no surprise after injury and having McKenzie with more experience in that roll at this point. McD loves experience. 
     

    I like McKenzie and think we’d be fine if we let Beasley go to free cap space. If anybody doesn’t think he can do it go back and watch the Pats game 2021 and Dolphins game 2022. Kid makes plays. He’s be learning under Beas for 3 years now, he’s ready.

    Looking at his history how did this guy get an NFL Intern job with Washington in 2005?  He was a history major at YALE.  Wondering who sponsored him into the league.  No football background that I could find in my limited research.  


    Actually his resume is probably similar, to Brian Flores when he was hired by the Miami. Maybe better. What background do ya want? Not every coach needs to have nfl playing experience. Looks like he knew what he wanted to do the minute he left college and went out and pursued it.
