In no particular order.

Here’s my Top 10 (in no particular order): 1.) Jevon Holland, Safety, Miami 2.) DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Chiefs 3.) Marquise Brown, WR, Chiefs 4.) Amari Cooper, WR, Bills 5.) Darius Slayton, WR, Giants 6.) Tedarrell Slaton, DT, Packers 7.) Jeremy Chinn, Safety, Commandors 8.) Joshua Uche, EDGE, Chiefs 9.) Marcus Maye, Safety, Chargers 10.) Jay Tufele, DT, Bengals

Buffalo is kind of in a bad spot. Every talking head that I’ve listened to has said that this a horrible draft at WR. So we’re kind of stuck with what’s available in Free Agency unless we want to trade for someone.

I think I agree with the overall consensus here and the overall fan favorite, Kenneth Grant.. He’s a complete DT prospect. He can stop the run and he can get in the backfield. He’s exactly what we need next to Ed Oliver..

I’m hearing from the talking heads that this draft is weak at WR but deep at DT, DE and RB. Because of that I think we should go WR in Free Agency and perhaps Safety as well. Picks 1, 2, 3 should be on DL.

Yes and no. If he’s making vet minimum I wouldn’t have a problem with it.

We won’t know for sure till their third year..

Say what you want, but the way Beane aggressively traded up for Josh Allen is enough to cover his sins but I agree with Monos to a degree.

Class.

I’m okay with $25M/year for Higgins. This offense would be unstoppable. Maybe he would take slightly less to play with Josh?

He’s very good but not $30M good. Spotrac says $25M, you say $30M, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.. Can you imagine our offense with Higgins, Shakir and Cook though? Especially if Coleman and Kincaid take a step?

If the Bills were really committed to winning they would extend Cook and Shakir and then sign Tee Higgins in Free Agency.

Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals If we truly want to swing for the fences this Free Agency and really pay someone. Pay Tee Higgins NOT Khalil Shakir. Maybe $20M/year would get it done? Tedarrell Slaton, NT, Green Bay Packers 6’4 330lbs run stopping behemoth, brings size, youth and physicality to our DL. Will most likely get about $4M/year. Marcus Maye, S, Chargers Experienced veteran, adds depth to safety, will probably get around the veteran minimum.

I think you go after the low hanging fruit. Rasul Douglas for $8M/year. James Cook for $10M/year (no more than $12.5M). Terrell Bernard for $10M/year. Khalil Shakir for $13M/year. Then you revisit Gregory Rousseau and Christian Benford in the 2026 offseason. I would not pay Amari Cooper at this point unless it’s a bargain.

I’m hoping we draft a NT and sign one in Free Agency. It’s still early but I would like to see us draft Kenneth Grant and maybe go after someone like Tedarrell Slaton in Free Agency.. Slaton won’t cost much, he’ll probably get $4M/year and he’s a true nose. He’s 6’4 330lbs and is tough to move off of the LOS. Maybe bring Daquan Jones or Jordan Phillips back at $1M/year?

I’m hoping we re-sign Rasul Douglas as I don’t think he will cost much. Benford, Douglas and Taron Johnson is a pretty good group but depth behind them would be nice. McD has a stellar track record when it comes to late round DBs (Levi Wallace, Dane Jackson, Christian Benford etc.) Take one then.

Obviously we need a WR at some point, but we need a DT and DE also. I think we should go BPA within that construct.

Fans hold close to the archaic view that RBs are never worth a second contract or a big payday. I think in some cases they are. How are we going to replace 18 TDs? That’s a lot of production that we need to replace. Not to mention that we have to burn a high draft pick in doing so.

It’s way too early for this. Let me see what we do in Free Agency and the Draft first.

He was probably reading through this thread..

I don’t think he’s in bad company at all.. For what it’s worth, he had a very good season in 2023 as well.. I feel like his vision has gotten a lot better and I love the way he hides behind blockers. I feel like there was a physicality to his game that wasn’t there years prior.. Should we pay him $15M/year? No, I’m hoping he can come down a bit. I think $12M-$12.5M/year is fair for both sides. I don’t think he’s peaked yet as a receiver either.. I believe he can produce at a higher level. A weapon is a weapon. You build around what you have.

Most folks would agree with you. I got torched on the front page for going against the grain but people were respectful about it so no love lost. It’s all good, we’re all Bills fans anyways.. Cheers.

He scores a lot of touchdowns though.. that has to be the key metric for an offensive player, at least for the skill position guys anyways.
