I'd offer the Jags Coleman and a 1st for Brian Thomas Jr

True Blue started following Plausible X/#1 receiver trade candidates — are there any?

Plausible X/#1 receiver trade candidates — are there any?
True Blue replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall
IF we trade for a WR it'll most likely be for Rasheed Shaheed and for multiple reasons here's why... 1. Saints are 1-7 which means they're not making the playoffs which makes them sellers at the trade deadline November 4th, and a realistic trade partner. 2. Salary Cap wise, we can afford Shaheed. The Bills currently have $2.54 million in salary cap space. As of Week 8, a team trading for wide receiver Rashid Shaheed would take on a prorated cap hit of approximately $2.22 million for the remainder of the year which we can afford. 3. Trading for Shaheed opens up an additional roster spot since he has experience as a WR, KR, and PR. Bills currently have 1 open roster spot. Ed Oliver is expected to go on IR which will open another roster spot which will be used on his replacement. Curtis Samuel and Brandon Codrington are the primary KR and both are tied for the 5th best in the NFL with an average of 27 yards per KR, however Codrington is averaging a paltry 5.8 yards per Punt Return which ranks as the 5th worst in the NFL amongst all Punt Returners, and dead last amongst all PR with 10+ Punt Returns. Shaheed currently ranks as the 9th best PR with an average of 13.3 yards per Punt Return. Shaheed has a history of being an elite returner, earning All-Pro honors as a punt returner in 2023. Shaheed is an upgrade to Codrington as the primary PR and backup KR to Samuel, and an upgrade to our outside WR's. Another benefit of trading for Shaheed is McD has the option to not dress Samuel on gamedays in favor of someone else with Shaheed as the primary KR instead of Samuel. By trading for Shaheed and releasing Codrington, kills up to 3 birds with 1 stone. Shaheed is a free agent after this season. I'd offer the Saints a 5th round pick but will go as high a 4th. -

Roster Support over the past three years (Beane)
True Blue replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree. I’m thinking more along the lines of Coleman is a role player that enters the game as a slot receiver whenever Kincaid or Shakir needs a breather. Coleman isn’t starting material. -

If it were me I’d bench Coleman but if McD insists on starting him I’d line him up as a slot receiver -

Coleman needs to be moved to slot receiver -

One word. BANDCAMP. McD loves his former players. When in need go with who your most familiar with. If you've played for McD in the past, your job application gets pushed to the top of the heap lol. -
Tell that to Eagles GM Howie Roseman and Ravens GM Eric DeCosta just to name a few teams who draft late like us every season. Unlike Beane, those GM's find blue chip talent way more than Beane does
-
4 of those players are no longer on this team, if they were good enough, most of them if not all, would still be on this team
-
The man sucks in rounds 1-3 but is great in 4-7 which makes him a decent GM. My biggest gripe with Beane is this team lacks blue chip talent and this is a biproduct of struggling to draft blue chip talent in premium rounds 1-3. Beane is struggling to build a great defensive line despite spending a lot of money and premium draft picks along the defensive line. Hopefully Beane hits on Jackson, Sanders, and Walker.

You and I obviously disagree on the definition of what a ''good player and productive player'' is. In my opinion, a ''good player'' is a starter or deserves to start. A ''productive player'' is a backup or role player. Having said that, from 2018-2024, Brandon Beane drafted 15 players in rounds 2 and 3, and traded away an additional two 3rd round picks for Rasul Douglas and Amari Cooper, which makes it a subtotal of 17 picks. 2018: Harrison Phillips 2019: Cody Ford, Devin Singletary, Dawson Knox 2020: A.J. Epenesa, Zack Moss 2021: Boogie Basham, Spencer Brown 2022: James Cook, Terrel Bernard 2023: O’Cyrus Torrence, Dorian Williams 2024: Keon Coleman, Cole Bishop, DeWayne Carter In my opinion, 5 of the highlighted names above of the 15 total names drafted by Brandon Beane are wasted draft picks because they didn't live up to expectations from premium 2nd and 3rd round draft picks. As far as the 2024 draft goes, it's too early to determine whether or not Coleman, Bishop and Carter are worth 2nd and 3rd round picks, but as of today Bishop and much more so Carter, aren't looking good which could very well end up being a total of 7 bad premium draft picks we didn't get a good return on investment on. I changed my mind and listed Rasul Douglas as worthy of giving up a 3rd round pick because he gave us 2 good years as CB2. We drafted Edefuan Ulofoshio with the 5th round pick we received from the Packers in the Rasul Douglas trade. Ulofoshio is a failure and just got released. Amari Cooper on other hand is a wasted 3rd round pick because the return on investment was a pathetic 1 year rental who played a total of 8 games and only got 20 receptions for 297 yards and 2 TD's, and in addition was a ghost in the AFC Championship game when we needed him the most had only 4 catches for 33 yards. By my count, Ford, Singletary, Epenesa, Moss, Basham, and giving up a 3rd round pick in a trade for Amari Cooper, makes it a minimum of 6 wasted draft picks out of 12 from 2018 to 2023. There's a very good odds that it'll end up being 8 wasted draft picks IF Bishop and Carter continues to struggle and not live up to expectations.

AJ Epenesa has only 21.5 sacks in 5 seasons which averages out to be only 4.3 sacks per season which means he's just another guy and not worth a premium 2nd round pick (54th overall). Just because Epenesa got an extension doesn't make Epenesa a good draft pick, bad stats don't lie. As far as Singletary goes, 3rd round picks should be starters not backups. Singletary is a backup.
