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.

Isaiah Bond - Yes, I like this prospect. Scouting Report: Strengths: Legit burner with track speed to stack corners and blow the top off defenses Sudden accelerator who hits top gear in a flash, creating chunk plays in 2024 (18.2 YPC) Savvy route runner who creates separation at all three levels Soft mitts to pluck the ball away from his frame, evidenced by zero drops in 2024 Dangerous YAC threat with vision to find cutback lanes and wiggle to make defenders miss Versatile chess piece who can align outside, in the slot, or be used on jet sweeps Big-play maker who consistently produces explosive plays (103 yards vs UTSA in 2024) Shows competitive toughness working the middle and contributing as a willing blocker And a 4.28 - Forty

Plus, last year's draft was phenomenal for wide receivers and there were many fast wide receivers that could separate, which were still available after the stupid decision the Bill's made by drafting Coleman and not Worthy or some of the other receivers they could have gotten instead, yet even when they did that, they did nothing in the later rounds to address it and there were still great wideouts available that were vertical threats.

He's also made a lot of tough catches, he's been double teamed often and still makes catches, plays tough, hasn't really been hurt and looks quite legit in his first year. Our drafting decisions have been suspect for years. Same with McDermott's many coaching blunders. However, I'm glad the Chiefs got their ass kicked! Hate KC!!!

Yes, didn't want Coleman and Worthy was there for the taking, yet another dumb move & mistake by McDermott and Beane. We need speed and separation at wide receiver, not more receivers that can't separate just because they're tall. We have criminally under invested in quality wide receivers for Josh since he's been here, with the exception of Diggs.

Yes and more yes... it should have happened years and years ago, but every year Beane blunders the top few rounds of the draft per usual, especially at the wide receiver position. Josh and the Bills should have had multiple vertical threats with speed that can separate and catch the ball years ago. Beyond Diggs, which wasn't even a draft pick, just a trade (and Shakir who's been decent), it's been a collection of low priced misfits or has beens every year in free agency and barely anything wide receiver related in the draft, yet he always think that will be enough. It hasn't and it won't be until he invests in that position appropriately. He had multiple opportunities last year as well in a great wide receiver draft even after the Coleman pick!

Yes, it's been a big need every year since Beane came here, but he's yet to address it fully or get a star receiver with speed that can separate, with the exception of trading for Diggs. Josh has one of the best arms in the league, but are pass plays are 5 yards down the field at most because none of our receivers apparently can get open beyond the five yards. I'm not even sure that Brady knows how to use receivers properly to be honest on this team.

Since he got here... His drafting especially in the first couple rounds has been pathetic, the only wide receiver he's drafted that's been decent has been shakir. And how much draft Capital has been wasted on the defensive line that never gets it done when needed.

This is another learning experience I'm sure per McDummy, we will learn from this ...🙄 apparently he still hasn't learned anything & figured it out after 8 years in big games. Sick of KC and if I have to see Taylor Swift one more time jump up and down as they Pan the camera to her every single play with the phoniness, I'll puke! Enough, Buffalo deserves better!!!

The same predictable ending per usual; so many bad calls and mistakes and decisions in this game. I'm tired of McDermott as well as Beane's drafting. What an embarrassment, we have the worst luck because of the idiot coaching staff and front office, including the players in big games, pathetic! This franchise is cursed, especially in the biggest moments!

Yes the defense has been a problem all year long as well and they never seem to show up when they absolutely have to, especially on 3rd down this year.
