Right, which is exactly why we should have been at least taking a shot and drafting wide receivers this year, last year (more than one), the year before etc... on rookie contracts and developing them so we have a robust talented crop of wide receivers on cheap contracts that have developed. Beane has done none of that, drafting one receiver who's slow in the last 3 years, that's what's considered criminally negligent to your team and a team that has a top three quarterback. And the collection of misfits that they've brought in from free agency over the past few years to try to appease the fan base and offensive side of the ball where Beane is thinking that's more than adequate, has been middling at best. I'm not even sure I trust them to make the correct evaluation of proper talent in the wide receiver area from what's been shown historically when they've picked wide receivers or even brought some in and last year especially, was a year to draft multiple wide receivers and Beane/McDermott yet again, chose not to! It seems & appears basically McDermott is telling Beane what type of players and whom at what position to pick because it's generally mostly defense and the type of player McDermott covets. Again, as I've said previously, the only area that they've been relatively successful at drafting is in the middle rounds historically (if everyone's is being honest and objective).

Beane and McDermott are now busy getting organized so they can get in the front of the line to acquire some defensive lineman via UDFA pool... surely McDermott says to Beane there's some truly talented players there that we missed in the draft.

By about 2 snails.

Pathetic, they finally pick a wide receiver just so they can say they picked a receiver when the fan base has about had it with the lack of true talent in that area and help for Josh... and it's in the 7th round, basically a nobody in the UDFA category.

Well Francis, last time I checked, Cook wasn't listed as a wide receiver, he's a running back.

What are you talking about, Diggs was a known talent and it's not like it took a genius front office to make the correct assessment to bring him to the Bill's.

There's not one team in the entire NFL that has ignored drafting wide receivers in every draft as much as the Buffalo Bill's staff. Even more criminally, they have a top three quarterback. Furthermore, they've had really zero offensive players since McDermott and Beane have taken over that truly scare an opposing defense except Josh Allen. All Beane does every year is go out and sign a collection of misfits and has-beens or low round talent type wide receivers that most nobody would want or take in free agency and he thinks that's enough and he's really done something to help Josh, it's truly beyond absurd & pathetic at this point. The biggest reason that the Bill's have been very good over the years is because they lucked out on drafting Josh Allen, certainly hasn't been from their genius draft picks in general. They've been run of the mill over the years at drafting impact players or missing out and drafting the wrong players... or great players that they could have easily obtained by moving around a bit and making the correct choice. If you're honest and go back and look at all their previous drafts, they've graded out poorly, especially once time has passed where you can get a more accurate assessment. I've really had it with not having any real explosive offensive impact players drafted except Josh (Cook has certainly been good, but he's in the minority). And it doesn't matter what players McDermott's defense has, they always fail in the biggest moments when we need them most or McDermott blows it by making the wrong call or not making the correct adjustments. They could have easily won a lot of those games also by just scoring more points as well.

This draft yet again has McDermott's hands all over it, quite frankly Beane and his staff along with McDermott have been mediocre when it comes to drafting or drafting truly impact players. I don't trust their instincts or their ability to evaluate talent very well at all and it's been proven out previously from most of their draft picks or ones that they've missed out on or made stupid trades to somebody else. The only area where they've been okay is in the middle rounds. And drafting basically one wide receiver in the last 3 years with a quarterback like Josh, is beyond pathetic! Another underwhelming draft!

It's outrageous that the Kansas City Chiefs and Andy Reid are helping out Mahomes on offense, McDermott & Beane told him there's more defensive tackles on the board.

There goes Royals, how predictable, to none other than Kansas City!

Wonder what defensive tackles are left, asking for a friend? Apparently, McDermott and Beane are asking the same question deep in their war room as they're thinking about packaging future 3rd and 4th round picks to move up in round five as McDermott is getting awfully worried (I think they have their eye on Boogie Basham's 4th cousin, he slipped way down according to McDermott and is a great value).

The Bill's have been horrendous at drafting on the defensive line, yet they just continue to put huge draft capital there & double up almost every year to the detriment to the wide receiver room and offensive, it's ridiculous!!! Yes, they needed to draft on the defensive line because they've been so poor at it and most of their pics don't work out (but I don't trust the staff at picking the correct people simply because of their record). Plus, they've already drafted a couple this year. For God's sake, go get a speedy wide receiver... you missed out on Thornton because of this stupidity. Bond was still there as well. They also blew it last year. McDermott and Beane (& his staff), also have been terrible in the first and second rounds historically, the only area they've been okay at is in the middle rounds. All of a sudden the run on wide receivers starts again and what do they do, trade up not to get a wide receiver, but to get another defensive lineman!!! Yeah they're really playing 3D chess, with themselves!!! Furthermore, they usually get hosed on the trade capital, but at least on this trade up, based on the chart, they gave up less than what would have been typical for the move up. I guess I'll get over it, but this is a bit frustrating and this staff overall has just not been that great at drafting except really in the middle rounds. Year after year, Josh has less than adequate weapons and it gets tiring that they put so much on his plate to do a lot of it by himself.

WTF???!!!

Now go get Thornton or Bond and I'll be okay with the first couple pics even though the draft again didn't really fall our way. However, I do like the cornerback that they picked and we certainly needed one even though he's on the short and light side. The Bill's have to have somebody with speed that can cover and close on a lot of these fast wide receivers so we don't have to sit back 10 to 15 yards in zone constantly and get chewed apart.

Exactly, it's not like these are the only blunders Beane has made, it's a long list and this is so Billsy! WTF! Ridiculous! Yes they can be at training camp & the preseason, but they cannot be at the facility once the season starts for four of the six games that they're suspended.
