Maybe they see one of the corners with speed at safety, the kid Hardy we got in the sixth ran 4.38.
He's listed at 5'9" and 178 pounds. There have been plenty of shorter safeties but they are much heavier, so Hardy looks to be strictly a nickel. Even guys like Jim Leonard, Bob Sanders, and Tyrann Mathieu weighed at least 190. Can't see this as an option.

Oh yeah I'd rather have only sub 4.3 receivers because Miami has been kicking our ass with speed. Oops, wait, they beat us 2 times since JA came into the league (on a dropped TD and a receiver forgetting to step out to set up the game winning FG) and not with any of the current speedsters they have.
Have we ever lost a game and immediately someone points out it's because our receivers run .1 - .4 seconds slower in shorts over an uncontested 40 yard sprint? Mentality plays a way bigger role in wins and losses than how many half steps Xavier Worthy has over Keon Coleman. You need to get over it, dude.
Dude, our receivers were a huge problem last year, and on paper we look demonstrably worse now. Just once is it asking too much to give Josh Allen some love?
Look at the other top qb's around the league and it is indisputable that they have better weapons than Allen.
The top 10 qb's in the game imo (not in order) are Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Stroud, Hurts, Prescott, Love, Goff, Purdy, and Stafford.
Some would argue Herbert, Tua, Rodgers, or Cousins are top 10.
NO ONE has a worse group of receivers than Josh, except MAYBE Herbert. Hell, Caleb Williams steps in and essentially has 3 (!) number one options before ever playing a single game.
Downplaying or ignoring this deficiency, as apparently Beane has decided (and you concur with), is flat out negligent with a unicorn QB in his prime.

This feels like 2017 all over again, having to rely on guys like Jordan Matthews and Andre Holmes. At least then we knew we couldn't go anywhere with Tyrod at QB. This seems like such a sad, wasteful approach.

Chark makes the most sense to me. If you were a decent WR trying to revive career for a nice payday, of course you would love to play with Josh. That is a huge carrot to dangle in front of every WR. Chark also plays special teams, which our coaches love
Out of those available he is probably my favorite choice as well. Big guy who plays outside, can get down the field, and has had a 1000 yard season before. He battled injuries in 2021, then was a contributor to a very diverse Lions offense in 2022 before joining the Panthers dumpster fire last year. Chark would get plenty of looks here and is still only 27.

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.
That's the optimistic way of looking at things, and it has merit.
The pessimistic view is that Joe Brady was struggling to scheme guys open last year, and now we have gone from two experienced outside receivers to none.

What does this mean? Did anyone press him on this mystery man?
It's Da'Rick Rogers per my sources

And KC won with a 2nd round rookie Rashee Rice as their lead WR.
They also have the greatest play caller and tight end in the history of football

I want to see what shorter can do this coming year after being injured last year and not getting the opportunity.
I wouldn't get your hopes up. He didn't do anything in his entire collegiate career

I laugh when Justin Shorter's name is included in the mix for our WR issue. What is the fascination with this guy? He is slower than my grandma and didn't even produce in college, so why would we expect him to become a contributor? Is it solely because he was highly regarded coming out of high school?

The most notable names remaining in free agency for what we need are (in no particular order) Allen Robinson, OBJ, DJ Chark, Michael Thomas, Michael Gallup, and Marquez Valdez-Scantling.
I omitted Hunter Renfrow, Tyler Boyd, and Russell Gage as they would be redundant slot guys.
Slim pickings for sure

I'm eagerly awaiting us to draft the next Ellis Lankster

This team is one quality WR and quality DE away from me thinking we got better from last season (while getting younger and building up cap space & draft picks in ‘25).
Feels like we can/will definitely do one of those things when the post 6/1 money frees up.
Can they do both? Or maybe Solomon truly is a Bryce Huff player and Toohill/Jonathan battle it out for DE4, while Solomon is DE5/Designated Pass Rusher.
Still need some depth at corner imo. But I agree, IF the moves you described are actually made

Former Bills comp would be Arthur Moats.
Maybe he can light up Rodgers like Moats did to Favre

I like this one for sure

So probably not a guy you'll sign again.
Yep would almost certainly be the case for any RB that is drafted, so the age doesn't really matter

And let's inject politics into the draft discussion. Great idea

Franklin, Baker, Walker all would've been guys I liked.
At this point, I've resigned myself to the idea of Beane taking a defensive end, linebacker, or corner I've never heard of with the next pick.
Really my only ask for this day of the draft is one more decent receiver prospect. Is that so crazy?It is when you're the Bills. We've seen this movie over and over

There goes the last receiver that could really help us. So annoying year after year the lack of urgency placed on that position. Our WR room is dreadful

Valid. But I don't think another WR a big need.
It is a massive, blinking red light need regardless of drafting Coleman. We have almost zero speed AND have no proven separator on the outside.

The writeups on this guy seem very positive. Would've preferred Franklin or Walker but this was a need. Let's hope Buffalo will still grab a 2nd wide out with speed

The dream is still very much alive. Draft two of these WRs in R2, likely with a medium trade up from #60:
Coleman
Franklin
Mitchell
McConkey
Polk
BPA at #95, perhaps with a small trade up to get a true 3rd round graded player.
To me this would be acceptable but hardly a dream scenario. McConkey is the only sure thing of those five and he has a relatively low ceiling

The city of Oakland was willing to contribute over $500 Million towards a new stadium. They wanted the A's to chip in about $50 million. Nope. We're going to Las Vegas for a Australian Opera House copy. I have my "sell" shirt. Thinking about getting my "sell" flag.
Such a shame. Oakland is a great baseball market and has such a rich history. I'm a Yankees fan and the A's just finished their last trip to the Bronx. I wish the parties would reconsider

Did we do enough at wide receiver?

I will say, at least this isn't our WR group.
