    K J Hamler the new speed threat?

    Isabella and Hamler are similar in that they were smallish, fast, early day 2 draft prospects that failed on their original teams which have proven to have been rather poor situations.  There's a good chance that the Bills liked them in their draft years and are thus willing to give them a chance within their organizational walls and see what they might unlock.  There is such a thing as bad luck with injuries and poor environments where one's career begins.  Josh repeats his dad's "bloom where you are planted" mantra but there are some franchises that are asphalt parking lots surrounded by overfilled dumpsters. Little chance to make roots and bloom there. 

     

    They are also decent candidates for one or two of the six veteran slots on the practice squad.  Remember the Bills 2022 season when they were running thin in their WR group heading into the playoffs and brought Beasley and Brown back late in the season?  I think Beane might be inclined to do more to prevent that from happening again.

    Hamler was both fast and quick in college. Biggest problem he had at psu was drops, which I think knocked him out of the 1st round. 
     

    Year 1 at Denver he averaged 19 yds per catch on limited targets. 
     

    the cardiac issue he had seemed to be a viral myocarditis, which typically resolves completely. 
     

    Biggest issue I see is hamstrings and acl. If he’s recovered from these, he could be the deep threat Bills currently lack. 
     

    in any event,, a pretty low risk signing. Cost the Bills no draft capital and little salary cap.

    How about I blame the GM/coach. That is the only in the league to not draft a wr in the 1st 3 rounds in 5 years?  They will go down in history and discussed decades later as "Mcdefense" and a failure for having the most talented qb buffalo has ever had and never even sniffed a SB

    So, the facts are that Bills spent 1st round draft picks on both a WR and a receiving TE in the past 5 yrs.  

     

    You can argue this for the next 5 billion years, but its still a fact.

    Well Penn State is hundreds of miles from Pittsburgh so they're really not the same area 

     

    And Terry Smith has been the cornerbacks coach at Penn State for years now

     

    Respected guy.. he runs a disciplined system... We're looking for scheme fits late in the draft at defensive back 

     

    Penn State and Pittsburgh run DB friendly systems that translate to our system 

    Hardy graduated from Penn Hills high school, about 10 mile away from downtown Pittsburgh.

    2 drops on 88 targets.

     

    Not a draft guy at all, I don't do mocks or anything but I trust this front office. 

     

    I trust Beane and Co and Josh carefully concluded on Coleman and he adds a dimension to Shakir,Kincaid, Samuel that was missing.. we'll see 

    There is no doubt whatsoever that Keon Coleman has a different skill set thatn the Bills current receivers.

     

    The big concern is whether his skill set transfers to the NFL and whether he can separate from defenders sufficiently for Josh to trust his eyes.

     

    Im optimistic that Josh learns that Coleman is open even when he doesnt have separation, given his ball skills.  Well learn a lot in 6 months.

    Keon Coleman is plenty athletic. You don’t play high level D1 basketball and football being a subpar athlete 

    Ahh, read what I wrote.  Hes' not super athletic.  I dont know what his RAS score is, but I'm sure its <9.  But his film is better than his RAS score might suggest.

    As a bunch of others have written, I'm not sure he will get the separation that Josh will trust.  time will tell.

    Yaaaay the big guy who runs one route and can’t separate against college defensive backs wooooo

     

     

    This fits our draft philosophy to a T though, it’s just like Edmunds 

    Literally the opposite of Edmunds. 
    Edmunds was super athletic, RAS score of 9.5, but played worse than his athleticism. 
    Coleman is not super athletic,but plays better than his athletic traits would suggest.

    Diabetes is very manageable for elite athletes with world class athletic trainers. Yikes,  numerous athletes are diabetic that you aren’t aware of. This should mean nothing to his draft position. I would be more concerned that he takes plays off if that is accurate. 

    I’m not sure I agree that numerous pro athletes have type I diabetes. In fact, I can only think of one—Ron Santo from the last century. 
     

    Im sure you can do a google search and come up with a few more. I doubt more than 0.1% of pro athletes have type 1 DM.

    we trade up for BTJ 

     

    & trade our 2025 1st to get back into the round for ________ (insert favorite choice)

     

    😎😂
     

     

    Please God,

     

    let us have Nabers AND BTJ?!

    Top 15 - 1050 Value - #28, 2025 1st, and #2 next year from Diggs trade

     

    If there were any move I'd be willing to make, it would be this one.  I think we all know what holes this team will have for the next few years as the age purge is already happening.  I want to keep my picks this year, because we could get that Top 4 WR, and still get a starting G/C, and DL/S with our top picks.  Next year, we wouldn't have our first, but the value is here this year.  We wouldn't miss the 2nd from the Diggs trade.  So I view it as getting a top 4 receiver at the cost of our 1st next year.  I'm good with that

     

    #12 - 1200

    Bills - #1 2024 - 660 + Bills 2025 #1 300 = 960

     

    That math doesn't math at all

    I dont know.  Theres a chart, and then there are real life trades.

     

    "The Chiefs moved up to 10th overall by sending their first-round pick that year (27th overall) to Buffalo, along with a 2017 third-round choice (No. 91 overall) and KC's 2018 first-round pick."

    Whitner was 1.) overdrafted - would’ve been a good use of a second rounder, but at 8th overall, a safety needs to be a difference maker on the level of Ed Reed or Ronnie Lott, and

     

    2.) NOT Haloti Ngata, who was right there and such an obvious pick

    Lolz.

     

    I remember that draft well.  I was outside cutting the grass, when my son comes outside to tell me the Bills picked Whitner.

     

    My reaction:  "Who?"  I had never heard of Donte Whitner.

    No the Bills  traded 10 for 27, a 3rd, and a next years first. Poster either misheard or Trapasso is off on his valuation 

    Thanks.  I stand corrected.  Forgot about the third, which is a big deal.  I think more and more teams are considering the top 100 picks as the most valuable picks.

     

    Thats why it irks me that Bills got a compensatory 4th not 3rd, when all observers (not just Bills-centric) were assuming it was going to be a 3rd based on past several years data.

    They had Chris Trapasso on WGR yesterday. He said #28 and next years 2nd gets you right around the 15-18 range.

     

    also said #28 and next years 1st gets you right around 10-12 range. 
     

    don’t shoot the messenger. Just going by what he said. 

    Could probably end up with Franklin and Sweat after a few smaller trades to move back up. Could probably have 44, 60, and 77 and trade that 77 along with something later (I don’t know the grades/chart) to move up. Getting 3 picks in the top 60. That would be huge. 
     

    if Mitchell is there at 28 I say take him because you don’t know what’s going to happen. But if you told me now Mitchell and xx as it stands, or I could have Sweat, Franklin, and xx. I’d definitely take the Sweat and Franklin deal. 

    If Odunze slips to 10-12, I wouldn’t mind this trade. 
     

    A few years back the Bills switched firsts (10 for 27) and next years first, right?  I know there’s a few value charts floating around, but that seemed to be the one Bills were using a few years back.

    ESPNs latest 7 round mock draft has 16 Wolverines being selected this braking the previous record of the Joe Burrow LSU team and I admit there is some guys here who’d I love in Buffalo to add especially some of those day 3 guys 

     

    1st Round: JJ McCarthy to Denver 

    2nd Round: WR Roman Wilson, DB Mikey Sanristill, and DT Kris Jenkins 

    3rd Round: LB Junior Colson and OL Zach Zinter

    4th Round: RB Blake Corum 

    6th Round: DL Braedon McGregor, OLDrake Nugent, OL Trevor Keegan, LB Michael Barrett, WR Cornelius Johnson , LB Jalen Harrell, and Trent Jones OL 

    7th Round: OL Ladarius Henderson and TE KJ Barner

     

     

    In terms of quality, I don’t think that prediction beats Bama. 
     

    in recent years they have had 4-5 in round 1 and 7 in rounds 1-2.

    In the article, Damar tells his little brother there are no beaches in Buffalo. Sounds like he hasn't been here long.  Now, if he said there were no NICE beaches - I'd get it!

    The nicest beaches in Buffalo are in Fort Erie. 
     

    Which are actually pretty nice. 
     

    Had a memorable beach party on a private beach just west of For Erie a few years back.
