I am so sick and tired of the cliched leadership and intangibles non-sense.
Where was the leadership from McDermott when he would not take ownership of the 13 second debacle?? Leadership starts from the top and he spouts non-sense like the process and winning mindset. We need to start a count of how many times he says we have a "young team that is still learning" as the losses stack up. Oh you can bet it will be heard often.Did Jimmy Johnson's teams that boat raced us in two SuperBowls have choir boys? No!
Do you think Belichick gave one rat's ass about character. He drafted a gang member and eventual murderer. He brought a "malcontent " Moss on his team and went undefeated.
Is Kelce a high character guy? No. He just destroys us.
We need winners with elite talent not high character guys.
McD chased away the second best player on offense because he dared to call out Dorsey as an incompetent OC. Now we have to hope a second year TE that can't block (yes he is willing to but he still can't) can become a star.
A small group of us have said the major deficiency on this team has been McDermott for several years now. This draft just shows how much power McDermott has over Beane.
As always, the only way we overcome this loser is if Allen plays superhuman football. Truly truly hope Allen outlasts this clown and we get a HC that knows how to win in modern NFL.

Reminder: the most successful team in NFL history only prioritized the WR position ONCE, and didn't win a SB when they did that.
What are you talking about?
Patriot's had two of the best slot WRs of all time at a time they had arguably the best TE in the history of the NFL. When they did further address the WR spot, they went undefeated.

Which "playmakers" did you want at 219 and 221 overall?
And just for comparison, Andy Isabella - who is already on the roster, was a 2019 2nd round pick and ran a 4.31 40.
I'm just stating that when the inevitable counting of offense/defense picks post is made, just becuase Beane drafted 5 offensive players in this draft, does not mean he adequately addressed the offense.

As I laid out in my previous post, we had many more needs than just WR. We came out of it with multiple starters, depth pieces, and prospects in a year where we were desperate for bodies. It's a win in every way but through the receiver lens.
But when they moved Diggs, they created a massive hole at WR. You can't equate the need at WR with the need for a backup DT or RB. Yes those were both needs but only after adequately addressing WR.
Our only hope is a trade for a veteran.

The only pick I love is Van Pran. He could be a great center and maybe even play this year.
I don't hate Coleman. He might be a better version of Davis. Davis made some amazing plays but failed so often at the routine ones. But guys that can't seperate just aren't #1 WRs in this league. I think his ceiling can be a very very good #2.
I hate that Beane didn't sell out for one of the top 4 WRs. Makes no sense. I would have preferred he burn that 2025 number one and whatever else it would have taken to get Thomas.
Then to not get another WR in round 3 makes zero sense to me.
I hate the Utah safety for everything he represents. An emphasis on defense and continuing to let McDermott shape this team. High character guy that Andy Reid and Kelce will exploit if we even make the playoffs.
So sad...

Shakir replaces Diggs
Coleman replaces Gabe
Samuel replaces Shakir Yr1
Then you have Kincaid and Knox
Backups Hollins, Isabella
Cmon man. Shakir replaces Diggs??? Diggs had the four best WR years in Bills history. There is nothing to suggest Shakir even comes close to that.

After this most recent off-season I have to agree
I think this is setting up for a very unfortunate 2-3yr attempt at a ball control grind it out type offense
Yup. They go 8-9 this year and Josh marries the actress, he's going to ask for a trade to LA or Vegas.

After all is said and done at this time, the offense is far worse on paper than last year. The WR group is bottom 10 at best.
I doubt Brady signed up for this BS.
All we can do is hope that Beane makes a move for a veteran.
Right now as constructed this team is not beating the Jets D and probably can't keep up with the Dolphins offense.
So sad...

Just to be clear taking an OT and OG in round 6 and 7 is not adding playmakers for Allen

All the Bills picks are 90th percentile in captain.
Yes we lead in intangibles but coming up short on the tangibles

Lets just trade both picks and take Rice

I don’t expect every player to be all pro and dominant.
but it’s been what 7 years of this regime ? And we just haven’t hit on draft picks
were good not great.
Not really fair
White and Milano were both All-Pro
Johnson is considered the best or second best nickel in all of NFL
Kincaid set rookie TE receive record
They used a first round pick and got the four best WR years in franchise history

He is undersized, for sure, but he has length because of his freakishly long arms for his frame in addition to an explosive first step and proper pass rush moves. Love his rip and his spin. If he was 6'4 and 265lbs he'd be a first round pick. I don't know if you can put him out there in base defense on early downs but you can carve a niche for him as a pass down specialist.

Okay... I like Solomon. My 11th best remaining. That's a pick I can get behind.
A 6'1" edge? Really? I don't know anything about him so asking for real

Why do I feel like the Center from Georgia will be the best player out of this draft?

Lol! Yeah we have a special team captain!
Should be needed as this offense is going to be punting a lot more than in the past...

Surprised to see Browns take WR. There is radio chatter they might move on from Amari Cooper after this year after the trade and contract they gave Jeudy.

You mean if we had Doug Pederson

Agreed......this has been an excellent draft for us so far and it's a shame that more fans can't see that.
It's an excellent draft if Diggs is still your number 1.
It's an excellent draft if you use 2025#1 for a veteran.
If not the above then it is a drafts that will see the Bills offense stifled all year long and the Jets win the division. This is a draft for 2019 Allen not 2024 Allen. Absolutely criminal to let the WR group get this bad in today's NFL.

I think we have the 2nd most wins in the NFL over what, the last 4 years?
I have a feeling that next year's draft is going to be a special one because of good moves made this year. We are getting younger with solid talent, and will continue to do so while Allen is in his prime.Haven't made it out of the divisional round with the 2nd best QB in the NFL.
If that was the case for any other team you would be asking why they are sticking with their GM and HC? At least Cinci and SF have SB appearance to show for it.

Yea I think to an extent that is right. Everything they have done this offseason suggests they have taken a year off of the going all in on winning a championship to do a 2 year re-load.
If true, that is truly unforgivable. And they are rebuilding with the same formula that didn't work so far.

Beane doesn't make these trades and acquire extra draft capital for future years if he thinks his job security is in question, since that's just helping the next GM.
That's the benefit of not worrying about your future I suppose. You don't have to make risky moves to win now, and can make smart moves to win later.We haven't won anything. How long are you going to wait????

Nobody knows. But two WRs have a better chance than one

Beane: "This team is in transition"

Yeah and if they didn't fumble on our goal line they would have lost by two scores or more.
