Beane doesn’t value receivers. I’ve been saying this for a while. The Carolina team Beane worked for operated the same way.

Is it high motor lunch pail time soon?

Here’s my issue, it doesn’t matter if we didn’t want Worthy. You don’t give Mahomes a speed receiver. It’s ok that Beane didn’t want Worthy, but there’s no way you take the risk of giving any help to Mahomes. Maybe the Chiefs draft Worthy at 32, but why be directly responsible for potentially watching Worthy catch deep passes against us in the playoffs? I just don’t get it.

Can’t wait for Worthy to dominate Cooper DeJean 😂

Why would we do anything for KC?

That’s fair, but if we have a specific receiver who ranks highly on our draft board, that could be a risky move. A trade down would indicate we don’t have much faith in any of the remaining receivers, and there isn’t much separation between those guys. I think it’s a matter of giving me less confidence on a personal level. I want the Bills to be high on one of these wideouts, it somehow gives me more hope.

Lots of receiver or bust posts the past few weeks. Now many of us are advocating for a trade down. I’m confused where all the receiver or bust crowd went.

I’m getting more nervous that we’ll draft an undersized defensive player who excelled at wrestling and is an Eagle Scout.

Blank is a meddling owner, nothing would surprise me in ATL.

Cousins gets benched this year, I’d bet on it.

Yeah, I don’t know if I’d go that path as a GM though. I don’t like any of the QB’s left, but at the end of the day, none of us can predict these things. If you don’t have a playoff QB, I think you need to keep selecting them until you find one. Each year becomes a wasted lottery ticket. That receiver isn’t going to move the dial, no matter how good. The Bills made the same mistake at the QB position during the drought years.

What a waste of these receiver talents thus far.

Nevermind, I legitimately can’t get used to that, now I don’t blame the guy 😂

I’ve never seen a guy less thrilled to go to San Diego. I know Midwest folk aren’t very animated, but geez. edit: LA 😆

That’s definitely possible, but Arizona just seems like one of those franchise who can’t make any good decisions.

Gives off the same Bro Country/Frat boy vibes as Mac Jones.

What a waste of a talent like MHJ.

ACC competition stinks, I’m not afraid of Maye.

Caleb Williams is the only QB I like in this class. He might not be great either, but I can see the rest being busts. NE taking Maye is something I’m comfortable with.

I don’t believe much in Daniels. I watched too many boring LSU games where he didn’t do much.

I agree, but if you do think it’s paper thin, that’s a commentary on our drafting. It’d be best to go in a different direction and draft offense. Try to get that elite playmaker, we’ve already drafted tons of defense. If that side doesn’t have depth, there’s not much we can do since we’ve pumped so much into it.

Between all this draft talk and current spring weather in WNY, that actually sounds amazing.

This sums up my feelings, and although most of this board agrees on the need for a receiver, most people are higher on Brady than myself. Brady hasn’t shown the ability to turn us into those Pats teams with dominant tight end play and slot receivers. I think Allen and Brady both need a traditional number one. We’re not dealing with an offensive coach like Shanahan who can scheme new ways to win. Brady showed absolutely zero ability to involve Knox and Kincaid as a cohesive entity. Instead he threw everything back on the shoulders of Josh Allen. Two play makers at tight end should have allowed Josh easier throws, less need to run, and less difficult passes. We didn’t see that at all. I think I’m one of the few who isn’t on board with Brady at all.

Not sure why anyone would listen to Manny Diaz, unless they don’t watch college ball.

I think part of the problem with our defensive draft choices is the type of players we pick. I realize that success can’t be guaranteed, but this regime is too hung up on having a type. We tend to go for undersized speed guys who aren’t unanimously regarded as impact players. Our defensive draft choices are often guys with potential, but many red flags. We reach for guys who fit McD’s scheme, and I think we suffer for that.
