I’m talking about not trading two 1st plus for 1 WR. I don’t disagree that receivers have become more important, but I still don’t agree that defense doesn’t matter - especially pass rush and DBs
You’re right! We should stick with what has worked. I’m all on board for staying at 28 and drafting the best defensive player available. Our defense is what carries us every year, especially in the playoffs vs the Chiefs!

Did this idiotic trade create cap relief for the Jets?

Beane traded away 150 targets under contract, and he has a plan.
The Bills will draft a WR with their first pick.
The Bills will pick a WR at 1.28, or move up to pick a WR.
They are not trading back to draft a WR. So they aren’t trading back.
What Beane does with picks in 4th and 5th rounds is how this draft will be remembered. Whatever Beane decides to do with these picks, they will have a MAJOR impact on this team for years to come.
Pick #60 can be BPA for DLine and defensive backfield.
Two more WRs picks in R4 and R5.

So you think Josh is worth slightly more than a 2009 Jay Cutler? It would take a minimum of 3 years worth of #1’s and #2’s and maybe a couple of players for me to even consider it…and then I would probably still say no!

Not the best example, but when Ted Washington came to Buffalo after 4 years in the league, he played lights out!

Dude is a super solid human being and I wish nothing but the best for him personally (except when he plays the Bills). This would be so much easier if he was a whiney dbag like Mahomes, then I could hate his guts.

No. But I don't really care if the NFL wants to have some international games sometimes.
Too many people are just automatically upposed to any change whatsoever.
Expanding the sport internationally is a good idea for many reasons. For one thing, it could open up the talent pool if more athletes worldwide become interested in pursuing football instead of other sports.
The NBA benefits greatly from having an international pull for talent. So does the NHL. Even MLB.
How many English or Spanish premier games are played in the US?
I think it’s perfectly natural for a fan base to be discontent on losing 1 of 7/8 home games. Loyalty works both ways, and max profits aren’t every franchises top priority.

There are plenty of posters on this board who 1. claim to have no social media and 2. hate on Diggs here. I think it's unfortunately VERY representative of the general fanbase right now. That will likely change as we get some time and distance and folks go back to realizing how great he was here and how little he did that was actually bad or offensive.
“Plenty” of posters on this message board don’t represent this fan base as a majority or as whole either. There is a difference between openly not agreeing with or questioning Diggs’ antics or playoff production on a Buffalo Bills message board vs. being a spiteful / hateful a-hole by openly questioning his integrity as a human being on his X feed.

@BlackbeardThe Bills fan dinguses on social media do not represent this amazing fan base as a whole. If Diggs doesn’t understand this, then I question whether he is as intelligent as some think he is.

Think about it for a minute. Beasley, Davis, and Diggs all left and feel bitter towards Bills fans.
Why is that?
Because the best QB in the NFL is no longer inflating their stats?

In my top 100 over 40% are WR and OL. I don't think it is miles off at all.
The OL alone makes up 46% of the starting offense and 23% when combining them with the starting defensive positions. When you include WRs (2) it becomes 64%/32%.
In your top 100 you say 40% are OL and WR, that’s not far off from the 32% of the starting positions they would fill. WRs make up 9% (13% in 3 WR packages) of the starting positions.
So from a numbers standpoint OL/WR soaks up 32% of starting bullets, which you have at 40% in your top 100. WR takes up 9% and has 25% of the top 64 in this mock draft. Lots of additional things to consider but from my numbers the 17 WRs bring drafted top 64 is a significantly greater anomaly than 40 OL/WR top 100.
7 WRs is the record for most WRs drafted in the first round (2004). More than doubling that # through the end of the second round would be unprecedented and a massive historical anomaly. Without looking it up and based on the numbers above, I doubt you can say this when combining OL into the fold.
Bottom line, I don’t think your statement makes 17 WRs going top 64 seem less crazy, it does the opposite.

WRs make up 24% of the players drafted in the first 2 rounds? Is this even remotely realistic?

Von miller contract
Dawson Knox contract
Stephen diggs contract
Defense line draft picks that never pan out
Defense tackle signings that are not good enough
No reliable pass rusher
Wyatt Teller give away
Edmunds
Just curious why he is so highly regarded when these issues have come to roost fully
I mean, you’re not wrong, but a lot of this is just plain bad luck. I personally think Beane is one of the best yet one of the most unlucky GMs in the league.
Von Miller - was on fire and everyone was pumped before his injury.
Knox - just a bad contract. His wrist injury didn’t help.
Bass - Was amazing and completely crapped the bed after his extension
Diggs - was a top 3WR until week 7 last year when he fell off a cliff. I still think his 4 year production was worthy of a 1st round pick. Nobody knew Jefferson was: 1) going to be available at our pick and 2) was going to be as talented as he is.
White: Top 10 CB and suffers two freak non contact injuries in 2 of his last 3 seasons.
His draft picks have been pretty darn good. We still don’t know what we have in Elam, but I can’t think of any major misses. Lots of late round hits.
We just dumped most of our aging vets and look to be getting significantly younger. we should have a much better cap situation moving forward as well.

I, for one, will not miss WR screens to Diggs where he stutter steps backwards for no reason and gains 3 yards.3 yards??? More like 1 on average.

With the other WR's and the return they got, its safer to say we got the best offer than we didn't get the best.
Plenty of examples give evidence to that.
What historical examples provide evidence that the Bills traded Diggs to the highest bidder and not to the team that was close to being the highest bidder and was where Diggs wanted to go?
Standing by…

You are implying that what we got wasn't the best offer....hence meaning we didn't get enough because we left a better offer on the table.
Correct, I think It might not have been the best offer, but it was a very generous one, more than enough compensation. Players don’t always go to the highest bidder.

Well, Baker Mayfield in 2020 broke the rookie TD record. The Browns were a controversial play away from beating KC at KC in the divisional round.
Kevin Stefanski is a 2 time Coach of the Year.
The Browns were 8th in Super Bowl odds coming into 2021.
The Browns with the Ravens, Steelers and Bengals were a much tougher division than the AFC South that the Texans are in.
You mean the game where Mahomes got concussed, sat out half the game, and they still beat the Browns? You’re right, the AFC South is a weaker division, so why would the Texans take a step back like the 21 Browns? This argument you’re making is strange..

It's very possible.
The Giants need the QB, but if the top 4 are off the board by 6, then they might do this deal.
If one of the top 4 QB's slips to the Giants, then the deal if off.
Giants might be able to trade down and still land a QB they value like Penix.

This explanation doesn't make any sense.
You have established that he was awful in his last 10 game stretch and surprised he got anything for him. But when we get a 2nd, it wasn't the best offer?
You're basically saying that he wasn't worth a draft pick of any value but at the same time the value we got wasn't enough.
I’m sorry this doesn’t make sense to you, but then again, I didn’t intend it too. I never once said we didn’t get enough for Diggs.

I honestly can see them being the 2021 Cleveland Browns.
Help me out here…what could logically draw you to this conclusion? They are better coached, have a better QB and have better skill players. Plus they are coming off a better season last year than the Browns have had in 15+ years.

Can you help me out here? You're surprised we got anything for Diggs but then say that you're not convinced a 2nd was the best offer?
Easy explanation:
am surprised we received a 2nd rounder for Diggs, even though value wise it’s more like a 4th or 5th. 2025 2nd = 2024 3rd and the Bills sent a 5th and 6th rounder. He had an awful 10 game stretch to close out the season and carries a pretty hefty cap charge to the new team.
I’m skeptical that it was the best offer on the table because he went to the team he was reportedly the most interested in, i.e. Beane did right by Diggs.

Amari Cooper went for a 5th as a 26 year old in the prime of his career. A 2nd for Diggs was great value.
I agree with you, what’s your point?

Why? We traded Diggs within conference, KC traded Hill within conference.
