    McDermott hammers point about Allen running less and sliding. Says it MUST change next year...

    But Allen has a tendency to take off a lot more often than he actually needs to, even when he has guys open and/or not under pressure. I think that is a reasonable criticism actually. It just isn't the only problem. There is a sweet spot in the middle here where the truth lies. 

     

    Isn't this probably because he doesn't trust his line? You "feel" the pressure a lot more when you're used to the defense getting home fast.

    I tend to agree, even if it’s not Hopkins. For example, the Commanders are a mess (no QB, projected less than $3 million in cap space). I would trade our first in a low quality draft class for Terry McLaurin who has a very manageable $2 million salary this year. He will just turn 28 when the season starts so best years are ahead. McDermott also has a relationship with Ron Rivera despite what happened with McKissic.

     

    But we really need a WR2 and trying to find one in the draft seems like a big risk. Beane has done it once before with Diggs, let’s hope he can pull off one more big trade to get Josh a second weapon.

    I love drafting a WR, but I don't love it for helping us right now, this year.  

    McD doesn't get rookies involved on offense. Even if we got McLaurin (love that idea) or Hopkins or OBJ, I still want the Bills to invest in a early round WR.

    If this is still going to happen, the holdup is probably finding someplace to send Oliver or Basham for a not-embarrassing low rate of return.

     

    Hey, I got the 100-page post without even trying.

    Honestly, Oliver is fine, but you can get very similar production for much cheaper.  I'd just take whatever you can get.  

     

    If that's the holdup, it's Beane overvaluing his high draft pick.  It didn't work out, he's not the game wrecker we wanted him to be, and that's okay. Just move on.

    I'm not saying they shouldn't do it, just that its a ridiculous contention that they're going to win a SB because they added a WR to run routes behind a porous OLine

    That's fair.  I do think McGovern is an upgrade from Saffold, but you're right in that I'd like to see them do more (cough cough Spencer Brown).

    You do understand that you could put Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson out there and it doesn't mean jack spit if you're QB is getting swarmed before he even hits his drop?

    I didn't think so....

    Please correct me if I'm wrong but there's no O-Lineman of Hopkins' status available for a trade, much less a presumable cheap-ish trade. 

     

    Just because you have deficiencies in one position group doesn't mean you shouldn't take a golden opportunity to massively increase another.

    No.  There’s plenty of good to great WRs currently in the league drafted after round 1

    Yes, but the further and further you get out of round 1 the less and less certain it becomes that you can get a contributor that will make a splash now.  

     

    The window is now and the division has gotten better and better.

    Then it will be weeks of crying and moaning about how Beane doesn’t want to win blah blah

    For me it'll be more about how Beane overvalues and overestimates the players he currently has in the building.  

     

    If you don't shore up the WR room, the conversation to the draft basically becomes "Well we have to grab a WR round 1, right?"

    Agholor is so strange-  he was meh in Philly, then he was dam good for the raiders the year before he went to NE to fall off a cliff.

     

     

    All he really excels at is running go routes.  There's a place for that in an offense but he shouldn't be your #2 guy.

     

    (Wait, am I still talking about Agholor or did I start talking about Gabe Davis?)

    Yeah the only way we could take on the whole cap hit is if we trade Oliver. There was a report earlier in the offseason that Hopkins would be willing to be flexible with his contract on his new team. If true I'm sure we can make it work, just a matter of working out the details.

    Might be a 3-way-trade.  Oliver to Chicago for a mid-late round pick, Buffalo uses that pick to give to Arizona for Hopkins.
