This is similar to my point. Since it is the first year with the Bills its easy to have hope and expectations because they are new. But compare this to last year: KB was 4+ catch, >700 yd guy Kerley and Holmes had each shown they could possibly be that guy as they had done it in the past. There are so many NFL WR's that have stat lines like these guys - 60 catches for 700 yds in one year, 35 catches for 450 in the next, etc etc. These tend to be role guys that some years need to play a bigger part then the next. But they are who they are. Not like an A Brown that will put up 1200-1500 year in and year out. Heck, when Stevie J left people said his 3 1000 yd seasons were basically crap bc any guy can do that. But we get two guys that have not sniffed 3 consecutive seasons and we are set at WR?

I think people look back and can say this. But next year we could play the same game - all they did was bring in Brown and Beasley who obviously were just #2 and #3 WR's blah blah blah. Last year we had K Benjamin who prior to knowing he would suck was the highest profile WR of anyone on this year or last years roster. He was supposed to be the legit #1 guy. Kerley was a guy that had some big seasons. A Holmes was another guy that people pointed to some prior success in OAK. Zay Jones, McCloud and Foster are still here. Its easy to look back and say this years talent is clearly superior bc we know that KB bombed. We know that Kerley and Holmes did not pan out. But Brown and Beasley could just as easily turn out the same. They are not no brainers like if we had done the Brown or OBJ trade. But not knowing how this would play out - KB, Jones, Kerley, Holmes, Foster vs. Brown, Beasley, Jones, Foster is not some drastic upgrade.

Carr throwing to Brown and Williams. Handing off to Jacobs. I would take that. Defense is more of a question mark but they brought in the draft picks Ferrell and Abrams, not to mention Mullen. Signed Burflict, Marshall and Joyner. Going to be better than last year.

My roster: QB: Allen, Anderson, Barkley RB: McCoy, DiMarco, Gore, Yeldon, Singletary WR/TE: Brown, Jones, Beasley, Kroft, Foster, Roberts, McCloud, Knox, Croom OL: Dawkins, Spain, Morse, Ford, Nsekhe, Long, Teller, Waddle, Feliciano DL: Phillips, Oliver, Murphy, Hughes, Lotulelei, Lawson, Phillips, Yarbrough LB: Milano, Edmunds, Alexander, Harold, V Joseph, Lacey, Stanford DB: White, K Johnson, Hyde, Poyer, Gaines, Alexander, T Johnson, Bush, Wallace SPEC: Hauschka, Bojorquez, Ferguson

Yeah I agree. That is why people should not over think this. Its likely Andre Roberts or whoever wins the KR/PR job. But we should not expect much if any offensive production from a WR 6. Maybe a few catches if someone gets injured. Every team has injuries, but look around the league and see the stats as you go down the roster to the 6th WR on teams and its a handful or less of catches.

What scares me about our WR crew is that it is all over the map. You have people saying Zay could be the #1, while others saying he could get cut. You have folks saying Duke Williams is the key X factor, while many project he doesn't make the team. At this point it feels like all we know for certain (I think, haha) is that Brown and Beasley will be key contributors. Just feels like the old days with Fitz throwing to Stevie and David Nelson, Donald Jones or whoever.

Not going to happen. Why would any team take on his salary?

WR: Here is the question. How much are we really throwing the ball next yea? There are only so many balls to go around. Last year including KB the #6 WR on the roster caught 3 passes. PIT, GB and Indy threw the ball the most times in the league and even they did not have a #6 WR catching the ball. OL: We will def keep more than that.

Where did these guys get drafted: Donnel Pumphrey late 4th Justin Jackson 7th Miles Gaskin 7th Ken Dixon late 4th Jahwan Edwards UD Jarvion Franklin UD

I would have picked Doubletary

I would have gone for Winovich in that spot. Would have rather taken Love as your RB...no need to hurry him back. Still could have drafted Harmon or Butler as well. Oliver Ford Winovich Knox Love Harmon

Similar. Henry actually had a better 40 time, better 10 and 20 yd split times and better bench, jumps etc too.

Better than last year so that gets you to 7 wins. I think less than 9 or 10 would be a big disappointment.

Again - just because he doesn't pick a guy does not mean he is right. Yes, they study and research but they still get it wrong. My point was it is incorrect to say "Beane passed so obviously he wont be good". I wont list the countless examples of guys passed on that become stars in the league. I do think there will be some good players. In 3-5 years you can look back and see.

Just because Beane didn’t draft a WR does not mean that he knows better than us or anyone else. It is just the choice he made. i think this was a decent WR class. As we saw only a few 1st round talents but a ton of potential. Guys like Butler in the 4th or Harmon in the 6th, just to name a few. I would have took a shot at one of those guys.

Hate it. The actual pick, timing and position. So many other directions they could have gone wr butler, Harmon, ridley Winovich, some te’s, more ol

No trade up. The 3rd we trade to move up could get someone at a similar level. We can fill two needs - WR, TE, OL, CB with similar talent. Walk away with a combo like: Taylor/Metcalf/Greedy/AJ Brown/Ford/Risner/Smith and Little/Winovich/Butler/C Wilson

OL - Taylor or Ford WR - Butler, DK, Harmon TE - smith DE - winkovich DB- Murphy, Greedy one if these 8 will be there

Harry to Pats. Hurts...I wanted him on the Bills. Even worse he goes to Pats. He is going to be a star.

Now get best ol, te and wr

Now pick feels blah - likely OT that we could have regardless of some odd early picks.

Oliver or Allen. Otherwise trade for more picks. Someone that wants haskins.

Jones - perfect

We lost by double digits 7 times. We lost by 20 5 times Not that close. This is the NFL. Many games are close and teams dont really get blown out as much as you would think. Many many games could have been won by either team. The Pat's can win a super bowl and still have 5+ games that are within a TD. Good teams win more close games than they lose. Bad teams lose more close games.

I could see this happening. Would not be happy...would not really be upset either. Just blah.
