    Beane: "This team is in transition"

    It turns out Beane hasn't learned anything from his mistakes. After failing to sign Hopkins and watching the Davis/Sherfield experiment fail, I really thought he would learn. Instead he admitted publicly that at certain spots in the draft he chose to pick other "needs" instead of good WRs still on the board. And apparently to him those needs were safety, backup DT, and backup RB. It's unbelievable. These guys are shortening and hamstringing Allen's career.

    Can I get a “you were right FC, these boys don’t learn?”

    Of course

     

    But not having a plan in place to address an aging malcontent wr falls on management imo

    They didn’t even have a plan for DAVIS, who everyone knew was gonna be gone. I don’t even think they negotiated with him much. 
     

    They had no plan for Poyer/Hyde either, unless you count Rapp the bandaid they only brought in after Micah’s head was falling off.

     

    They have done a terrible job keeping the talent pipeline flowing, except maybe at LB and CB.

    You can blame diggs for a lot of things but roster construction is not one of them

    I will agree to a point that Diggs’ exit probably accelerated how bad the lack of succession plan was. But the Bills have sucked at their succession plans for the 2020 stars since.. well… 2020.

     

    Beane drafts a decent WR last year or two years ago and we are feeling much more comfortable with Coleman/Samuel/Shakir filling out the rest of the room.

    Why would we be drafting WRs high when they had Diggs and other serviceable players? They also drafted Kincaid high last year and again this year. What are you crying about? 

    Kincaid is a TE.

     

    Why would we draft a WR high when Diggs was 29 and Gabe Davis had one foot out the door? Is that a serious question?

     

    Why did the Cowboys draft an LT in the first when they had Tyron Smith?

    For the record, I’m not upset about the WR room.  
     

     

     

    The vision Beane had for this offense in 2024 simplified:

     

    Diggs

    Coleman

    Shakir 

    Samuel 

     

     

    Then add all our draft picks except the Duke DT and you’d have our team.  Pretty dang good.  
     

     

    But this organization was thrown into mini turmoil bc of Stefon Diggs.  Period.  If your take is “Beane has neglected WR and this is what happens” you’re just wrong.  
     

    Diggs was supposed to give us 2024 and 2025.  
     

    He quit (as we know now) at the end of 2022 and throughout 2023.   
     

     


    I refuse to trash Beane over the WR room that was supposed to include Stefon in the plan until he tapped out and quit.   
     

    Quite frankly, I’m sick of the fan base rushing to defend Diggs over the GM that oversaw the construction of this perennial SB contenders roster.  
     

    It’s embarrassing. 
     


    I’ll be rooting for Coleman and Shakir harder than I’ve rooted for 2 Bills WRs.  And if we need more ammo I trust Beane, whose cap is all screwed up this year bc of Stefon, will find more ammo.     
     


    Go Bills!

    Beane could’ve drafted WR’s since 2018 and hasn’t. 
     

    Then he wouldn’t have had to extend Diggs desperately in 2022. Something that gave Diggs tremendous leverage in 2022 and 2023.

     

    He did neglect the WR room for multiple seasons, and is still neglecting it and Josh is going to pay for it when his career ends at 31 like Cam Newton.

    As it should be unless we finish like 4-13 

    I’m approaching the opinion that the best thing for Josh Allen’s career is to tweak an ankle, miss the season and let Beane and McD get exposed and fired when they win 2 games and reset with a high draft pick and new organization.

    First off having the balls to let all the old guard go that he could, instead of trying to patch things up and put the bill on the credit card.

    This is a joke right? 
     

    The old guard aged themselves off the roster. Hyde and Poyer were old two years ago. Beane couldn’t secure a succession plan through the draft, necessitating a 2nd rounder at S to walk in and START. 
     

    Beane gave Diggs the massive contract 2 years before his deal was up. He signed Von Miller. He literally CREATED the cap problems. 
     

    Sure, Morse was getting older and that was a tough decision, but IOL is worse without him. Again, BECAUSE of Beane.
     

    He accomplished trying to fix the roster he ***** up lmao

    I give Beane an A grade to date for the job he's done over the last two months. We weren't in a position to force anything. Instead, we made lemonade out of lemons. I really don't think you guys are giving him the credit he deserves for what he just pulled off. 

     

    All this angst is mostly just fans getting pissed because they want to see a team specifically built around Josh, and Beane didn't do that this time. We opted to address teamwide needs rather than just wideout needs. And BTW, drafting your center of the future because you had the foresight to trade back IS building around Josh. 

     

    Saying this team is in transition is just stating the obvious. I like that he isn't trying to fake sell us on anything.

    What exactly did he pull off?

    I mean this was considered one of the deepest WR drafts ever, so yes I hoped we would use that opportunity to double dip. I am still very much against the safety and RB picks where we made them but it is what it is.

     

    If it's announced that we're trading for Aiyuk post-6/1 I won't have any complaints though. Adding a player of his caliber AND a 1st round (close enough) WR in the same offseason would be the smartest thing Beane has done since drafting Allen.

    Tell ‘em Hap!

    Sure and that's why I said the Double Down in the DRAFT was a pipe dream.

     

    We definitely need to add another, but it will be a vet. Not a draft pick. And was always going to be the case with our Defensive needs from the draft.

    that plan was always stupid then.

     

    Why double dip on the second most valuable position on cheap rookie deals that directly benefits from an elite QB in the best WR draft in half a decade? 
     

    Because we need core STer’s!
