Diggs sucked by the end of the year. Diggs also sucked in every single playoff elimination game. For being a superstar, he never showed up in the playoffs. He was an afterthought in the offense for half the season. It doesn't take much to replace the version of him we had last year.

I'm not upset. I'm excited for guys like Shakir and Samuel to step up. And Coleman to come in and grow playing with Allen. There will be some growing pains, but I really like Shakir and Samuel. And Coleman is an upgrade over Davis, in my opinion. We don't have a superstar receiver, which means Allen will deliver the ball wherever he sees fit without having to worry about a Diva. We don't have to throw screens to Diggs anymore. Samuel should be way better suited for that. Oh, and Kincaid is easily positioned now as the #1 weapon. He should have a monster year and take his place as an elite TE in the NFL. I'm excited.

Ok, what is the connection with Utah? Beane seems to be really focused there. Kincaid, Bishop, and now this guy. Zach Moss from a few years ago. Or it could be a coincidence, I suppose.

I think the team will be just as good, if not better, than last year. Last year we had all the names, but they were all injured (Milano, White, Jones, etc.) or just lacking productivity for various reasons (Diggs, Davis, Miller, Poyer, Hyde, etc.). So, on paper we are worse, but given that all those veterans were not contributing last year, we're actually better this year. I think much better. So no, I'm not tempering my expectations or bracing for a down year. The Bills are going to contend for the AFC East and make the playoffs. They have as good of a shot this year of making the superbowl as last year, given the injuries and nuances that the team faced last year, including a mid-year coordinator change.

Yes, and it isn't even close.

Chiefs for sure.

Expect a free agent signing or even a trade.

The truth is somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

That's what I'm doing. I'm discussing people's lack of knowledge and speculating that they know nothing about these players.

Nobody knows anything. Stop pretending. Just hope for the best.

Who said 40 times aren't relevant? They are. They just aren't everything.

You guys are insufferable. We get it. You hate everything. Get a life.

Coleman is much more like Gabe Davis, but with much better hands and better route running. And a higher upside.

Better make it a triple.

Many Bills fans just have a default position of angst when it comes to draft picks. Almost none of them actually know what they are talking about. They think looking at a few mock drafts and watching a handful of college games over the season makes them experts.

Not a fan of the zero. Unless it was a double zero. That would look cool.

He runs a 4.52 which is fine for a running back.

Go look at the success rate of players drafted in the 4th round versus the later rounds. There is a huge difference. So, I think this is a bad take. This is from the drafts since 2018, and they didn't even bother doing the 6th and 7th rounds, but there is a drop off in each round, except 4th which happens to be better than the 3rd (just a small sample size bias): 1st Round: 34/60, hit rate of 56% 2nd Round: 20/60, hit rate of 33.3% 3rd Round: 12/60, hit rate of 20% 4th Round: 17/60, hit rate of 28.3% 5th Round: 9/60, hit rate of 15%

Good, detailed video on Coleman. They bring up a proprietary PFF game speed metric that he scored in the 93rd percentile, so apparently he plays a lot faster than his 40 time suggests? That's what I took from that at least.

Apparently Coleman is the receiver Allen wanted, so Allen is probably happy.

Matt Milano. Khalil Shakir. Siran Neal. Even Kyle Williams was a 5th rounder...

I guess we'll see.

DeJean was taken already, wasn't he? McDermott starts rookies all the time. He just didn't with Elam.

Mike Williams is a good receiver, though.

All of them have had concussions. You can't play in high school and college and then the NFL without ever having a concussion. They know the risks but they still choose looks over safety, often. But there may be a few who do it. Honestly, defensive linemen should all wear them because they help block the view of the QB, so it is a small competitive advantage.
