    Bills sign Chase Claypool, Smoot, Jones

    My thoughts are this. Very talented kid loved him coming out of ND when nobody was really talking about him.

     

    Issues with him has been work ethic, sulking when he doesn’t get his way. 
     

    Clearly the Bills have a type they want as an X WR. This guy is not a burner but similar to Coleman in many aspects. 
     

    He was free so why not ?

    The more I think about this pick and what we saw from Brady last year, the more I'm talking myself into Coleman being a good fit. (I have spoken...to myself)

     

    Brady did the complimentary football thing but when we did pass it was a lot of hitches and screens...basically lots of stuff close to the LOS with some verticals mixed in, not a lot of complicated routes. Get him the ball quick and let him YAC or block/pick for guys.

     

    I think part of our collective fan problem is we've adopted the mindset that Brady is going to really open up the offense and make it his own in year 2 in which case we maybe we have a raw rookie that will struggle. But what if that's not the plan? What if Brady's 2023 offense is the offense? Coleman can do that. 

     

     

    We still need a deep threat though otherwise opposing defenses will continue to just press us and the safeties will move in towards the line of scrimmage and shorten the field.

    I said for months that the Bills would love his leadership and character traits and that he was the type of player they would love because of his maximum effort and doing the small things it takes to win. 
     

    Most didn’t want to hear that cause they read a couple scouting reports and wanted more speed guys 


    It’s ok to admit both which I can.

     

    So far I love Keon the person. Seems

    fun loving and innocent. A guy the locker room will enjoy. You can see he wants to work hard and be a good person . 
     

    But I can also point out his faults as Keon the player as well

    seems to me that you’re confusing “better talent” with “players that you deem to be better talent”.  No? 
     

    as if there’s no chance that the Bills front office sees things differently than you?


    This is a message board no? So we are all entitled to our opinions?

    I missed the beginning of the convo.  Who is the better talent that we ignored?


    Not trading up for a better WR. I also think McConkey is a better WR. 
     

    I also think there are many non WR’s in that spot we could have drafted which were far better BPA than Coleman

    And who at this point is "better talent"?

    See above

    I’m in this camp too. We tried the “true #1” thing. It didn’t work. Allen was forcing it to Diggs until Brady came in and spread it around/focused on the run. It can’t be understated how important it will be for Josh not to have that pressure on him. 
     

    The old pats* teams killed you with a variety of interchangeable pass catchers, not necessarily WRs. I’m excited to see how the new offense is going to look. What we were doing wasn’t going to get it done. 


    True but that’ doesnt mean we need to ignore better talent to go along with this offensive philosophy

    Drafting guys without character, leadership and heart is great and all, but if they aren’t good enough they will simply be guys without heart, character and leadership on the street and not on the Bills.


    Or they are more talented and make the team? 
     

    That’s my point. We’ve drafted so many choir boys and passed up on better talent because of it
