Typically teams overreach to draft wide receivers. This year will not be an exception, so a couple of the best guys will be gone pretty early. The good news is that there are several guys that will probably develop into really good players and should be available on day two. I expect Beane to go after one really good veteran to play on the outside opposite John Brown and draft a guy to develop. One guy that comes to mind is Breshad Perriman. He really played well after Evans and Godwin were injured. Tampa won't be able to afford to sign him. There are others that will be released in Jacksonville, Rams, and Cincinnati (Green). Even Amari Cooper could hit the open market if their contract talks continue to go nowhere. I believe Beane will be looking to draft one of the guys that has some length and speed to go deep. I don't think another Smurf is in the cards.
My dream scenario is to draft Tee Higgins and sign AJ Green to a short term deal. Higgins is often compared to Green and who better to learn from? Sort of like Singletary has learned from Gore. It would be a dream pairing.

You guys should check out Tyler Johnson from Minnesota. Having himself a game. And he’s what we are missing...a bigger bodied receiver than we already have.

Was it a good idea? Of course it was. At the time we had a HUGE need for a number one receiver and Benjamin was available. The fact that he didn’t pan out is all hindsight.

We don’t need another burner. We already have Brown. We need a big bodied receiver to put opposite of Brown.

If Daboll leaves, I’m really gonna miss seeing the Bills try three running plays from the ten yard line when it’s first and goal.
Exactly. His play calling has been horrendous. I’m not sure why anyone would see this as anything more than an opportunity to improve.

Daboll has been a terrible OC at every stop in his career. We were all expecting him to all of a sudden turn a 180 and be good? Come on. Shame on us. This guy is single handedly holding Allen back and I can’t believe some of you want him to stay. Watch the games!

The biggest worry is the 4-4 at home. Even if you say 4-3 because today was meaningless, that’s pretty disappointing to see
Maybe. But I’ll take 6-2 away because that’s where we will be playing in the playoffs.

Who cares what a mock says? He is a reach because Mel Kiper says so? One of the best offensive coaches of his generation had a qb who takes them to the playoffs every year and traded up for him to let him develop for a year rather than take a player that could help him. That means a million more than what Mel Kiper or McShay thinks.
it’s amazing how much people value their rankings and mocks. They are purely entertainment.
Whatever man. Right or wrong, it’s a fact that Watson and Trubisky were rated higher than Mahomes that year. It was a shock to many when the Chiefs took Mahomes.

No way. Mahomes was not a huge reach. He was a super talented kid that was viewed as needing a few technical refinements.
He was a reach at 10. Show me one mock that had him that high.
-
Please stop with the Wade stuff. He barely knows football and did most of his work in the preseason against no names. He’s not at all ready for the NFL. Man how fans like underdogs. Good grief.

I said years ago that fans cant handle having a rookie QB. If he doesn't look like Brady right away they think he is garbage. News Flash... not many QBs come out looking like Mahomes in their first couple years.
Not to mention that some fans hold it against Allen because the Bills traded the pick that the Chiefs used on Mahomes. They also fail to realize that Mahomes at 10 was a HUGE reach at the time.

I don't know this year's draft class super well yet, but regarding the WRs, the guys that seem likely to be available around our range that I would be interested in are:
Jalen Reagor - TCU - 5'10", 195 lbs, 4.35-4.45 40.
DeVonta Smith - Alabama - 6'1", 178 lbs, 4.40-4.50 40.
These are the two I have circled so far.
Take a look at Tee Higgins. With all the talent at the top, he might slip a little after Jeudy, Ruggs, and Lamb. I really can’t see 4 WRs going before we pick.
If that does happen though, they seem to have really scouted USC games this year and Michael Pittman might be a target in the second. He’s a big dude at 6’4”, 220 and has really strong hands.

Since the Bills Week 6 Bye:
21 Touchdowns, 2 Interceptions (and 2 lost fumbles).
During that span here are some of the defenses he has played against:
The #1 defense
The #4 defense
The #5 defense
The #9 defense
The #10 defense
The #11 defense
(stats as of week 16)
That's pretty incredible ball security for an "inaccurate" guy.
He’s not NEARLY as bad as some people think he is. Bottom line is they need to get over the “wrong Josh” and pre-draft narratives and open their eyes to what this kid is actually accomplishing. It’s nothing short of remarkable.

Your QB had a 50% completion percentage and threw for his usual ~ 200 yards. And got sacked 4 times for negative 32.
QBR of 69.8. Left 2 TDs on the field b/c he struggles with accuracy.
But it was poor tackling that cost us the game, huh?
The denial this fanbase is in regarding Josh Allen's competence is straight up bizarre.
The hate that Allen gets from the other side is ridiculous. It goes both ways champ.

Yeah great job by the o-line...

Progress does not mean perfection. Just keep making progress. This was NOT the Josh Allen of last year, or the guy who played the Patriots earlier this season. Progress.
Great post. And 100% spot on.

Josh is making some of the same mistakes now that he made nearly 2 years ago.
Are we sure he's progressing and "learning" ???
His completion % is more what I'd call regressing to the mean.
This is a post I would expect from someone who’s name is “nextmanup”...smfh

And what did he do on offense immediately after taking the lead.This is the main point to be made.
After getting the lead, the staff immediately became conservative and put the game in the defense’s hands. Allen has just come off of a perfect ball to Brown to be ordered to take three straight runs and punt. How about letting your qb keep the good vibe going? Nope. Time to put the game away with the defense with a full quarter to go.
Not. Good. Enough.

This freaking blaming McDermott has reached epic levels of stupidity.
As is blaming Allen on a weekly basis. Goes both ways.

This has been my problem with McDermott's conservative approach.
He thinks his defense is better than it is and he thinks he needs to protect his young QB more than he should.
That's a bad recipe for a one 'n done playoff scenario.
Exactly! Until McD stops being hell bent on being content to let his defense finish games with so much time on the clock, we will continue to lose games like this.
Allen just came off the beautiful deep td to Brown and they called three straight running plays. Why? Because McD thought it was enough to win. Let the defense shut them down.

draft a stud wr in the 1st and draft a DE in the second would be ideal imo
Or the other way around.
With how much McD loves defense, I could honestly see a first round round DE followed by a second round WR.
Last night was proof. He got the lead and instantly went into conservative mode right after Allen hit Brown on the deep td. Instead of riding that momentum, they went run, run, run, punt on the next series and were content on putting it into the defenses hands.
They will draft a DE in the first, which wouldn’t upset me too bad as long as they go offense in the next two rounds. Someone like Gross-Matos would be awesome in this defense.

I don't think Josh is our franchise QB. Yes he makes amazing throws, but he consistently misses the easy ones. That is not a recipe for success. I know he has great leadership, personality, and heart, but at the end of the day, you have to make the easy throws. I doubt that at this point, his accuracy will improve. It's not about the receivers, the o-line, or coaching - we're not going to be consistent winners with Josh as our QB. Yes, he is better than the QBs we've had since Jim, but I don't see him winning for us consistently.
This post is a joke. Gtfo. Allen kept fighting and it wasn’t until the coaching staff decided it was time for the defense to put the game away after we got the lead that it was in question. The script was flipped tonight. The offense kept the team in the game and the defense let us down.

They could have been better, and I’m not a Daboll fan. However, the Pats D has been very good all season, and I’m not using this game to showcase why Daboll is a bad OC. To that point, I completely agree with you. Why is no one pointing to the fact that Brady went 26-33, and looked like the Brady of old? Brady has not been a good QB this season, and our D was destroyed by him. That’s the story of the game for me.
Exactly. He’s been average at best. He looked really good in this game. The defense let us down and the offense flipped the script. Did Allen miss a few throws? Yes. But he also had two good deep balls which everyone wanted to see.

Offensive struggles? Please. This game was lost by poor tackling from our precious defense and horrendous conservative coaching once we got the lead.

Memo to Brandon Beane you NEED WRs
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
He has to know this. Brown has been VERY good for us all year but a true number one makes a better effort to know where he is on the field.
As far as Duke? It’s a shame it had to happen, but that missed catch ended up costing us huge.
