I'm all set over here.

It seems like most people on this board think the key to getting past the Chiefs and to the SB is "more offense". A case can be made for more defense too. As we have painfully seen, one or two key plays on defense can also be the difference in those tight games.
While I do agree, I look at all the available defensive players in this draft and just don't see any players that I envision making those plays. The ways I see the stars aligning I think this is the year to reload the offense mainly.

Would you rather:
A.) Trade up to #7 for Malik Nabers or Marvin Harrison Jr. for (2024 1st, 2024 4th and 2025 1st, 2025 2nd)
or
B.) Take a WR at #28 and package our #60 pick and a future 3rd to move to the top of RD2 to take a second WR of your choosing?
Probably B honestly.

I hear ya, and good points.
I'm just afraid a late round WR, won't feel the need at boundary/downfield guy. If we draft a WR in the 1st (presumably who can do it all), we still have a hole at the other WR spot.
I don't trust Samuel or Shakir outside, whatsoever. Samuel for some snaps but he's better utilized in the slot/shorter quick routes and YAC.
If our plan is to bring in a MVS or Thomas, post June 1st, then fine go WR late. But I'd rather go WR in 1 and 2, where I'm almost certain the value will meet our picks. Go for a S, 3 tech DT, CB, and a RB round 4+. Then post June 1st, focus on DE and RB2 (if we don't draft someone).
My biggest concerns are WR and DE. We have nobody is taking the top off defenses right now, and hope Beane is focused on acquiring speed/explosiveness early. At DE, not sure a RD2 guy is going to move the needle. I'd rather we go 1yr rental, like we did with Floyd.
Ultimately, I trust Beane but he HAS to hit on immediate starter/impact guys in Rd 1 and 2 this year.
I'm afraid as far as pass rushers are concerned we're probably going to have to roll with what we got this year unless we get lucky with someone post June 1st. But the good news from the Diggs trade is that the money that's freed up from his contract next year we could go after one of the top free agent pass rushers with it.

I’d do it for Nabers. Might not be a totally accepted trade for many, but I think he’d be worth it. You’ve got a true number one there.
Totally agree. Sure we'd have to leave the defense a little depleted this year but we could finish that unit off next year. Build up the firepower this year and if the offense stays hot especially by the time the playoffs start we are still an absolute contender imo.
-
I would actually totally do that trade. We'd still have two seconds next year one which could be very high and we get an almost guaranteed alpha receiver.

With the new rules of being able to elevate a 3rd QB from the PS on game days I actually think we might take a QB late.
It makes sense to do so and try and develop someone
Was just gonna say this. Plus with a veteran backup, we can be patient.

He's the same height and faster than Diggs, FWIW
With T Rex arms though.
38 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said:I'm calling it now... Shakir is mid and will be a decent 3rd WR option. Nothing about his game stands out. He's small, not fast, hasn't shown great yac ability, has had a number of drops, gets small during contested plays (doesn't box out or gain body position). He's a 5th round receiver playing as good as a 3rd round receiver. Nothing too exciting here
This right here. You double or triple his targets, his catch % that all you number crunching nerds are getting all crazy about will plummet back to an average number. He is a nice piece to have in group sure, but he's a #3 that can fill in as a #2 in stretches.

Sign Beckham as a 1 yr incentive type deal/ veteran bandaid and draft two so they don't have to be completely thrown into fire. Or just throw em in. Cost controlled youth movement guy here🖐️ lol. Next year use the Diggs money for one of the top free agent pass rushers and this train keeps rolling just fine.

The draft value chart is simply a guideline for those that don't know
Teams have done deals that were significantly less and significantly more on the chart, so ultimately it doesn't mean a whole lot
Right. It's really just a loose guideline. Who falls/what position will determine different scenarios.

I like almost everything about Mitchell except once he has the ball in his hands, there's no dog. That just gives me a strange feeling about him so I went with Leggett. He gives me suped up AJ Brown vibes😎

I know many are down on the compensation but you got to maybe realize that league wide the word is out that Diggs has hit the wall and it's only slowly going to go downhill from here. Tough pill right now, but having 27 million to play with next year is going to feel real good. Answer that, Miller's contract may be coming off the books too depending what happens with him.....mo money!!! In conclusion, it may take a little while to get the newcomers on the same page but if we hit on the right picks I don't necessarily see this is a take a step back year.

Aiyuk is a beast of a route runner. He has more potential than what he’s already produced.
He's also about to take up a giant chunk of cap space with a new contract.

Just now, Buffalo_Stampede said:
I wouldn’t be shocked if they trade for Aiyuk to be honest.
Yuck. Aiyuk is good but more a product of his current system. Grab the young cost controlled rookie.

Going to struggle this year. Rookie WRs take time and Samuel isn’t a #1
Yes but Kincaid could really break out and it's a much friendlier passing league for receivers to come into. The rookie doesn't have to be "the man" right away.

C right now but could end up a B if the bills get lucky and certain moves go their way.

Question for you crazy draft mathematizers out there lol: how far up would pick 44 and pick 60 get you to?

I would keep pick 44 from the Texans and then trade pic 28 60 and then whatever pics needed next year to get a top receiver this year and still get a sweet prospect at 44 as well.
-
This tells me the bills love one or all of the top three receivers in this draft and are going to make something happen captain.

Yea people are curious
But it's gonna be a 3-4 year development at least if it did work
Not many teams have 4 years to develop a PS level guy
I wouldn't waste a draft pick on him but would ask him to TC
IDK if he's still there in the 6th or 7th round why not. If there was a way to not waste a roster spot for a couple years it might be worth looking into. I think after a couple years you'd have a good idea if the development could pan out then you'd still have a couple years for him to backup Dawkins. How many 6th or 7th round picks turn out anyways??? Bonus kick to to dk for the first guy to mention Brady😂😆😂

Tua hasn't gotten an extension yet and nor has than been whispers he's working on one. Joe Klatt mentioned in one of his mocks that Penix could give them the deep thrower they need and could be their 1st Rounder in April.
Interesting. Although by the time Penix is up to speed Tyreek Hillwill probably be losing a step and Waddle may not even be there anymore depending on who has to get paid next.

Worthy going to Miami is Not. Nice.
Would much rather see DT in Round 4-5 (assuming the Longhorns are off the board at 28 and 60)
Beane has signed 3 DT's if you include DaQuan.
IMO he wanted to feel like the position is no longer a desperate need.
Slight smokescreen? Now I'm on the WR train baby but I could see Newton being the pick. Some will say you don't draft Ed Olivers backup in the 1st round but I think a man with Newton's talents the Bills would have plans for playing both of them at the same time on obvious passing downs.

And we're on to.. Aiyuk?
in The Stadium Wall

I could if the compensation was like only a 2nd rounder next year and a couple scattered late round picks.
