    Are there?  I think if you actually do the research you'll find that the teams you think are always right are in fact wrong just as much as everyone else.

     

    No kidding. Look at the Chiefs the past couple drafts at WR. Sky looking like a bust. Rice started showing talent, but appears to be missing a few brain cells. That's why I hope we at least double dip at WR this draft. Juts to hedge the bet. I mean maybe we get 2 studs, what a tragedy that would be!

    I have his autograph...does the value of that go up or down after his death?

    If it has a fingerprint on the bloody knife, that would be worth a fortune!

    And Jordan Poyers brother bashed the bills organization on the way out

     

    And said that they don't treat the players as good as they say they do and it's all an act

     

    So now do we piss on Jordan poyer? Or is maybe his brother salty too

    At least ask Jordan if he's good with that. It's all about consent these days!

    The run-pass ratio from Dorsey to Brady was much different because Buffalo just started running the ball more under Brady.  This worked in the regular season, but only to a point.  Didn't stop Brady from relying too much on Josh gaining yards on the ground like his predecessors resorted to by the end of the season and into the playoffs.  

     

    If the idea is to take the ball out of Josh's hands more running it with the backs and/or have him run, this offense is limited.  It's limited when you run out receivers who are short to intermediate types, can't track it downfield, and historically 10-12 ypc options.  Defenses cheat.  And in the current NFL, expecting to maintain 10+ play drives consistently is not a recipe for success.    

     

    The difference in WR talent shows up more in the playoffs when scoring gets harder because you can't be that personnel-limited even with Josh.  

    There is a difference in limiting Josh and having him play less dangerously. In the long run the less shots Josh takes running the ball, the better. Dorsey didn't know how to call a running game. Which is why it wasn't working under him. 

     

    We don't know what Brady's O will look like yet. But My guess is you see a lot more passing than he showed at the end of last year. And we will have better skilled players at the WR position to pull it off.

    Buffalo hasn't traded a primary starter this near the draft since Jason Peters went to Philadelphia in 2009.  It wasn't surprising they didn't subsequently adjust their board given the crew in charge back then.  

     

    This time, Beane alluded to shopping Diggs for a while, which at the least was a decision to come out of their post-season review in late January/early February.  And if that's the case, not a stretch to believe their draft board was built knowing that Diggs was going to be moved.  Especially since they saw a draft class with strong WR talent.  

     

    It would say a lot about this regime if they decided that their primary receiving options for Josh next season were Samuels, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox and a RD2-3 rookie.  Because as much as Diggs was declining, it wouldn't be that many degrees of separation from what Buffalo did at OT after trading Peters: relying on rookies/2nd year players and lesser talented options to make up for that deal.  

     

    Their vision for this team has crystalized in the last couple seasons. And now, most people are seeing that what McD wants to do on offense is to limit Josh and focus on a by-committee offensive approach with decent skilled talent, but not elite.  That's not going to work in the AFC.    

    He doesn't want to limit Josh, he will be hands off the O, he wants smarter decisions and longer drives. Josh will always take his shots. McD is fine with that. The problem is we didnt have the talent at WR to get sepration. Shakir is a very good (soon to be great) WR. He and Kincaid were are only real targets in the 2nd Half. With younger more talent at WR this year; the O will be more explosive. Diggs stopped being effective because Davis couldn't draw away coverage.

    I would do that in a heartbeat but wouldn't think this would be enough.  Both Bills #1 and #2 picks will be later in the round picks.

    The Vikings might be gold but still, a second so 33 at the earliest.  The Giants could use one of these elite WR's as well.

    That is a lot of capital for a receiver. Last time we moved up for a receiver it did not work out that well. There are many talented receivers in this draft. My choices would be Stay put at 38 BPA, move up a little for the right WR, or move down and grab more pics.

    Do your low standards also apply to the Bills performance? Or do you want it both ways? 

     

    It’s not about being stuck up, it’s about knowing the difference. I almost always just ignore that stuff here, but if someone is sensitive about it, maybe that says something?   🤷‍♂️

     

    I’m just funny about that stuff. If I see I’ve made a typo, I’ll generally fix it. It bothers me, personally. If other people don’t care, that is their prerogative. 

     

    I’m sensing a pop quiz in our future. 

     

     

    .

    But by your response, you are not ignoring and you do care. People that care about such things, just are nit picking. Baecuse I cna tpye wrods ni ayn oredr adn yuo cna stlil rade tihs. So certainly people can understand they ment re-sign instead of resign!

    Feel free to carry on. They had already voted to pummel you regardless, so you might as well get your money’s worth! 

     

    P.S. - It was a close vote, and I was on your side.   😋

     

    That stuff really does annoy me more than it should. I tend to give more weight to people’s ideas if they have at least a basic grasp of the language. 

     

     

    Anyone complaining about this is just stuck up!

    Here is a CBS Mock with a lot of trades that has the Bills taking Troy Franklin at 28. Do we like this one better? It has just as much value as the one the OP linked to.

    Here is one from USA Today that has the Bills taking Coleman: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/02/28/nfl-mock-draft-2024-qb-projections/72778490007/

     

    Bucky Brooks has us taking Coleman too: https://www.nfl.com/news/bucky-brooks-2024-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-washington-takes-jayden-daniels-over-drake-maye-qb-to-denver

     

    My point is that none of these mocks are worth getting worked up over. 

    Not worked up. Although taking an edge would set some off. I like the Coleman pick better myself!
