Void of a trade up for one of the big 3 or for an established player I didn't see a scenario where this draft concluded and we could declare we had what we needed. If we did make such a declaration we would be wrong. From my perspective MLB was in even worse shape last year and that worked out ok. I'm excited to see what Coleman brings as I actually like the pick. Kincaid could turn into a pro bowler this year as well. I think a few other things could work out at WR to our benefit but sure, we could likely stand to have another hitter. I know everybody wants to take the next step at the position and give Josh some elite weapons but if we could say that isn't happening because we only took one WR and not a 2nd deeper in the draft I would say the logic is faulty and the perspective is poor. The draft wasn't going to solve all of this.

Last year Houston was largely considered to have the worst WR core in the NFL.

We don't have Morse, Poyer, Hyde, Diggs, Tre, and Gabe. Allen is the only remaining captain on the roster. Regardless of what moves we made did it really require Beane saying we are in transition? It seems sort of obvious given the roster changes. Transition also doesn't have to mean we won't be competitive. We went 6-1 the last 7 games with Diggs and Davis contributing 46 catches for 571 yards and 3 TD's. They just didn't exist. To me it's not unreasonable to think Kincaid will increase his contributions signifgantly. Knox could increase as well. Shakir is likely to keep getting better as he has each year he has played. So I ask myself, can Kincaid/Shakir +1 year, along with Samuel, and Coleman best last years group the 2nd half of the way when we went 6-1? Why not? Then you shift to defense. What did Poyer and Hyde have left in the tank? Poyer was brutally slow. Hyde couldn't stay healthy. Tre was a leader in spirit more than body. So we add Cole Bishop to that group. Rapp gets more familiar with the system. Bernard has another year. AJ has another year. Groot, ED, and oh ya, Milano comes back. Jones is healthy. Perhaps Von gives us 10+ sacks, which I think he will. So why again won't the defense be just as good with potential to be better? They're younger and more athletic. I actually think with all of our "transition" this team will be better next year. We won't have better depth. We might also take some time to come together as always is the case. But it's not very difficult to see how we replace what we have lost and how that could even grow. Now does all this give me confidence that we can win more than a wild card? Not really. I can't view this team as clutch and mentally hardened until they show they're on that stage. But if the questions is can we get back to find out this year? Sure.

You can see why he clicked with Josh. He has that playful kid like demeanor to him. Super confident. Sort of a breath of fresh air to be honest. I don't recall a lot of Bills like him over the years.

Josh Brown, Cole Beasley, Khalil Shakir, Deonte Harty, Jamison Crowder......are these big body WR's? Is James Cook a bruising RB?

I didn't conveniently stop anything. They have gone on to win two Super Bowls without him. Stop moving the goal posts. You said Bean draft slow player bad, KC draft fast player good. Not Beane don't draft WR. So what is the complaint and how can you irrationally link it to this draft? While you're at it, outside of Hill, let me know the names of a few pro bowl burners who have won a super bowl the last decade. Hardly a prerequisite of anything.

Honestly dude, you have no clue at all. I don't either. None of us do, not even the teams that make the picks really know. I don't know how on earth you see Gabe Davis with Coleman but you're going to see what you want to see.

Why do you assume KC has been good at picking WR's? The premise of your post is, big player bad, Beane like big player, Beane bad. Fast player good, KC like fast player, KC good. As I said, it's lazy. KC has drafted absolute trash at WR since they picked Mahomes. You would be better off betting against who they picked at WR a significant amount of the time.

I could agree but I would have to dismiss Beasley, Brown, Shakir, etc. I think in the scheme of things he’s actually been fairly balanced. Albeit without seeming to highly value a burner.

They're both tall black men, don't you see!

Lazy comparisons

I haven't gotten a good sedrick van pran-granger since high school

Everybody is shouting out Detroit nowadays. Sort of funny. They have a decent fan base but a lot of my friends never mentioned the Lions to me in 30 years of living there. Now it's all "us, we" talking about the Lions. They're similar to us in the abnormally trendy trajectory they had.

Sort of looks like if Singletary and Moss had a baby

Damn I wanted Bortolini he goes well with garlic bread

Braelon Allen might be around in the 5th with the way this is going

Also a Tez fan, watched him a decent amount UNC. Fun guy to watch.

Uhhh ya....

We have seen enough comps with his 40 time have great success in the league to know it's not something that prevents you from being an elite player. Everybody keeps calling out his rare athleticism. His former MSU teammates, FSU teammates and coaches. https://statenews.com/article/2024/04/keon-coleman-msu-spartan-fsu-seminole-buffalo-bill All of them talk about how he is just different and you see that finesse, leaping ability, and agility just jump out when you watch tape. Such a well coordinated athlete for a guy who is that big. Still with a ton of room for growth. Seems to have a great head on his shoulders. Everybody has seen the FSU tape, here is some of the MSU tape. Just mossing people left and right. This is a good debate on Reddit from non Bills fans, very similar to what we see here

Nothing wrong with that 👍 It has been rather funny going down this journey of NFL and Bills fandom with my non American born girlfriend the last few years. Some of these events get hard to explain. The draft and going to games looks like some sort of cult. Some of the in game events are even more hilarious. Touchdown! Wait, it's a flag. Ok it's on them! Touchdown! Wait, they're replaying it. Touchdown! "This is stupid Michael" ................I know honey.
