Are you upset that we sent multiple assets to get Diggs?

Couldn’t agree more. They have spent, spent, spent on defense. Last year’s first and second round picks. The year before they took a DE. Yes, we got Diggs, but it was almost like a consolation piece so fans wouldn’t complain about the offense. It’s like taking Allen in the first in 2018…then followed it up with 3 straight defensive picks. We are SOOO close…but I’m concerned Beane and McD think the ticket is to add more defense instead of looking at the coaching as the prime reason we lost last Sunday. We had the personnel, but the coaches failed the team. It’s hard to complain about an offense that puts up numbers. My main thing is you need to plan ahead. Morse is on his last legs, Beasley is in his last year, Sanders and McKenzie are likely gone. Don’t forget that we have a slow RB and basically need upgrades at both OGs. I hate that all the talk is about adding more defensive line and corner. We have the number one defense and have dumped high pick after high pick into it. I just can’t fathom watching the chiefs doing whatever they want next year as our newest defensive first and second rounders sit on the sidelines in a rotation or are largely ineffective. Let’s load up on offense and protect our best player. Give him a speedy slot that can get YAC and a RB that can hit the hole before it closes off. I honestly think this is the best ticket to beating good teams. Out score them. The defense is the number one unit in the league. Let the players we have develop and get a mid round or FA vet to compete at CB2.

EXACTLY!!!!

Awesome…another late round solution for the offense.

Then this raises another concern…do we have a GM and HC that don’t have an eye for defensive talent? I mean, all the resources that have been dumped into the defense and it’s still “not enough”? That’s a major red flag. Do you really want them or trust them to draft the right defensive player? Yes…Beasley is back for one more year, but now would be the perfect time to draft his replacement. If we could add a slot with speed, could you imagine the possibilities? Right now, we have a guy that makes the catch and falls forward. We can improve that position.

And I disagree with this thought. We don’t “need” another top 10 CB outside of Tre. We need a competent one and we may already have that in either Levi or Dane. How many teams in the league have one corner with elite traits, let alone two?

I don’t understand this. We had the number one ranked defense in the entire league. Haha. We can’t keep adding to the defense without thinking ahead in that Morse could retire at any moment and Beasley is nearing the end of his contract. Not to mention it sounds like McKenzie is gone along with Sanders.

I’m convinced most of the “let’s draft defense” crowd are old folks. I have no way of knowing for sure, but offense is the name of today’s NFL. We finally have a QB and people still want defense instead of adding to our greatest strength. I don’t get it… And you can find that in the mid rounds or in FA.

So you are another advocate of ignoring offense until the mid to late rounds? If so, I don’t know what to say. This is 2022…we need to keep adding to this offense and helping our best player. We aren’t stopping teams like the chiefs….you simply need to match them point for point.

Exactly. You aren’t “stopping” KC. I feel Beane and McD are a little too obsessed with stopping them thinking that is the ticket to a SB. It sort of concerns me that Beane said he’s gonna add more to the defensive line this off-season and spoke specifically about corner as well. If Allen has time, he’s nearly unstoppable. However, when he does have time, he’s also throwing to slower targets who don’t get YAC. Our RB picked it up late, but is slow and was largely ineffective most of the season. We can upgrade there as well. Our defense is fine. Get a mid round or FA CB to compete with Dane and Levi, and possibly get a vet DE to replace Addison. The rest needs to be in improving the speed of our playmakers and protecting Allen. We waited over 20 years to have a qb that we can be excited about. It would be a shame if we didn’t maximize his abilities by investing early and often into helping him succeed.

I think it’s IOL…the priority needs to be to protect our franchise qb. Bates was good when he finally played, but I think he should be a backup. We could use a road grading guard to open up the run game and protect Allen from nasty DTs. Corner is the popular pick for a lot of you because 13 seconds is fresh in everyone’s mind and we lost Tre for some time. IMO, Wallace and Jackson fared very well together and either one could be CB2. 13 seconds was more on our coaches crapping their pants than the personnel. We could use and upgrade at CB2, but we can just as easily get that upgrade in FA or the mid rounds.

Cause I dont agree with your opinion? Haha. I guess that’s all we need to know about YOU.

I’m not arguing with you dude. You have clearly chosen to follow my posts. I’m not taking the bait. I know what I think and I’m not gonna let you or anyone change my mind. Have fun…

We are slow and terrible in YAC. But…we need more defense!!!! S. M. H. 🙄

If this were real life…then yes.

Ok…then there should be one later then. This is the argument every year against drafting a WR early. In the first round yes… But the argument was the second round.

So we take a corner in the first because we need one? What about the other rounds? And forget about the fact that we need speed on offense and might lose Beasley, Sanders, and McKenzie. I’m not buying for one second that its cut and dry for corner because of Tre. We can get a good corner in FA and the mid rounds too.

I don’t understand the corner crowd. Beane said in his presser yesterday that they thought about one in round two last year but decided they might not beat out Dane Jackson. There were some good ones still on the board at that point as well. It has long been the MO of this regime to have one outstanding corner (Tre White) and develop a later round corner opposite of him. They think they have that in Dane Jackson. Ive long said…you aren’t stopping the KC offense. Elite qbs are able to overcome any kind of defense put out there. Look at our own guy. His best games have come against good defenses. Elite qbs rise to the occasion. The main focus needs to be protecting our franchise qb and giving him the weapons he needs to keep this offense humming next year and beyond. People forget how average or worse Singletary as most of the year. He picked it up late, but I’m not gonna pretend that is going to be the norm going forward. And I love Diggs and Davis, but sanders is gone and Beasley might be as well. We need a young, speedy slot.

Why would we keep drafting DEs? You have to be fair and see it both ways.

I like Davis. I’m happy to have him. But be honest…did you think he was a stud before this past game? And it’s one that we’ve been making for the vast majority of the McBeane tenure.

I knew someone was gonna bring that up. He didn’t have far to go after the catch to reach the end zone. Not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a dump off or run that goes the distance. Nice try. That said…yes I did read your post and I mostly agree. We do need an upgrade at RB. Yes, Singletary finished strong, but his limitations are evident. Finally…I also agree with the OL. I’m ok with the tackles, but go get some dawgs to play guard. Allen can feast when he has time to throw.

I think this offense is a bit misleading. While I really like Diggs, the other guys are JAGs. Allen is basically the entire offense. That isnt sustainable. To think otherwise is just being foolish and stubborn. We need to upgrade the OL, slot receiver, and RB IMO.

You’re missing the point like the rest of these guys. The issue is YAC. When was the last time you saw a Bills player run away from the defense and take it to the house? We do need speedy weapon in the receiving game IMO. It would add a new threat to this offense.

Ok Honestly…there is no reasoning with you if you feel this way. We are entitled to our opinions.

Wow…I don’t know how anyone is going to reason with you. You did see the defense that was called right? The dbs and safeties played way back acting like we had a 4 point lead. That’s coaching, man.
