MVS, as another poster said is the type of receiver we could use to add due to his size and speed and years of some moderate production. Problem is that his hands are simply not good, and I don't think this coaching staff wants to deal with yet another downfield threat dropping passes. Therefore, I wouldn't add anyone from that list

Just tired of having to see unhinged post after unhinged post constantly mocking a rookie that seems like a hard working and intelligent kid Do better

The history of blazing fast wideouts that are not built to withstand the rigors and demand of pro football is not good He'll be a threat when he's able to be on the field, but I don't forsee him being healthy much

Based on how obsessed you are over him and his forty time, I'm pretty concerned with your mental state A comment a day or two after the draft...OK. Every day since on multiple occasions? That's a problem, my guy

When are you going to stop with the tears over this poor kids 40 time? It's bordering on being very unhealthy for you at this point, and I don't wanna see you meltdown when he shows you how little his 40 time matters

I get the skepticism and doubt, and I think it's completely reasonable and justified if you feel that way But, to me...I already saw what a Stefon Diggs could do for us and it was fading down the stretch and washed in the playoffs. Davis was a drop machine that couldn't get on the same page as Allen and led to bad misses/turnovers. It was time to move on from those guys. They have chosen to not go the alpha WR route this season, and they instead got a more capable unit of guys that could contribute beyond the first and sometimes second or third option and are now deeper with capable wideouts that can be relied upon to do their part. I wanna see Josh play within an offense where he's not feeling pressure to find certain players or take shots to a guy who he isn't in synch with. This may help him grow even more, and if after this season they see a glaring need for a top wideout they will aquire one given the draft capital and cap space we will have. If Coleman hits, then we may not have much of a need...but that has yet to be seen.

I do think that we have improved the depth of our receiving group, and we are stronger everywhere besides at the top. This group is more capable and should be more reliable with catching the football overall than last seasons group...particularly the second half of last seasons group where Diggs really wasn't much of a factor. How much the loss of a top end boundary receiver will affect the group and Josh as a whole is an unknown, and likely depends on what Coleman can bring to the table.

Tell me you don't know football without telling me you don't know football

SF is trying to win a SB. Aiyuk was only going to be traded if they could've drafted his replacement. Maybe Pearsall can be that guy, but I doubt SF is moving him before they see if the rook can fill his role. I don't think this braintrust wants to put all their eggs in the trade for a WR and pay him top dollar basket again. I think they will look to get a top rookie next draft if they can pull it off...which they should since they have two second rounders to go along with their first in 2025.

The Eagles had arguably the worst defense in the league last season, so they have a major weakness which this team does not have. We are top ten on each side of the ball, so while you may think their roster is considerably better, the results last year say otherwise. They also traded for AJ Brown who is arguably their best player...he wasn't drafted by them. Jalen Hurts was a hit, but I think he had a bit of a fluke year when they went to the superbowl. The jury is still out on whether he is worth the contract he got. Their linebackers and secondary are abysmal, and they have taken low character/off field issue players when they fell to them. That is high risk, high reward. If you wanna crucify Beane for not hitting on elite talent, then best of luck to you finding the GM that hits on them while maintaining a roster that you can manage cap wise, personality wise, and keep well rounded like this one...cause he has done just about everything else you could ask for. He brought in Diggs which payed dividends for his tenure here, and Miller looked to be that difference maker on defense until the injury, so he recognized the need and addressed it with proven commodities...luck just wasn't with us. I wouldn't trade our roster for the Eagles whatsoever. There was internal issues there last season, and AJ Brown is another Diva that brings as much drama as he does receiving talent. Allen is clearly superior to Hurts, and I'll take our good Oline and defense vs their great Oline and poor defense

Difference makers don't grow on trees, and when your draft position is near the bottom of each round it only decreases your odds of finding those players. He made the right decision this offseason to retool the roster and do what he does which is to get us players that add to the teams quality of depth and give us a few starters hopefully. The difference maker/makers will hopefully come via free agency next season or we use draft capital to either draft a top player or trade for one.

I agree that we are kinda/sorta punting on this season...which is a prime Josh Allen year, but I don't think there's another scenario where this team could've went all out this year without drastically jeopardizing this team's chances for the next few beyond this upcoming...which would be even more detrimental to our chances to win in Josh Allen's prime. I think we failed to capitalize on the first chapter of the Josh Allen Bills superbowl window, and the best case scenario is to only have one season to reset things and get back to being a true contender. What Beane has done by dealing Diggs, releasing those older, costlier vets, and now what he's done in the draft should set us up nicely for a quick reload...which you don't see typically when you have a roster such as the one we had.

I don't dive right into relationships, but let's see what happens from this point forward

I'm no homer...trust me on that. I have been saying McDermott is not the answer for years. I simply believe that Beane did a fantastic job in this draft by getting a player pretty much everywhere to help all positions.

This is true, but my counter to this, and what I think the Bills plan is, is to have an offense where you don't know who the focus should be on...which will keep defenses honest and in more standard/predictable alignments. It also allows Josh to operate more within the scheme of the offense instead of locking onto or feeling the need to keep a certain Diva WR happy. I for one want to see Josh run this offense where he just operates without any worries about not getting someone involved.

It would've not only cost us this years draft, but also next years to go and get one of the big three at WR The correct play was to then shift to reloading the roster and use the cap space and even better draft capital next season to go and get that big time player that can be a game changer. Anyone who thinks we should have sold the farm for one of the top three would be groaning when the team has no young talent or depth once they falter yet again in the playoffs. We had a top WR and it didn't get us anything but playoff disappointment. You need a complete team with depth along with some playmakers to truly contend. I think the plan is to retool this season, and then go all in in 2025 again with a big time addition on offense and defense. With a hopefully strong draft class this season, we will be in a prime spot to challenge again with another superbowl window wide open.

He has tape where he's beaten guys He ran a slant and go where the got the DB to bite and then got past him, and he has other plays where DB's held or grabbed him cause he had them beat. He threatens the defense at all levels, so corners will be susceptible to plays where he get's DB's to bite, and if they try to jam him or press him, he will win at the line and get open. Alot of posters are going to eat crow on this kid. He's a baller that has tremendous skills and a strong basketball background that helps him have outstanding body control, shiftiness, and the ability to box out and win jump balls/contested catches.

I think Beane is not getting enough props for adding a piece to every single group on both sides of the ball. This is an infusion of youth everywhere on the roster. We are now a younger team that has good depth pretty much everywhere. We may need a gamechanger or two, but now at least you reloaded the roster with promising young players, and next season we will have cap space and even better draft capital to make a power move or two should we have a glaring need. I like the approach, and we'll see how good McDermott and his staff really are given the makeup of the roster

I think Coleman has more wiggle and can be more effective in short areas like screens and slants, but I do see some similarities

It's just a bad look to do business with KC, that's all it really is If you had to bet who outsmarted who, most people would bet on KC My guess is worthy will produce the occasional big play when he can actually get on the field...which may not be often if you are going off of history regarding small speedsters in the league In that case, the Bills would appear to have outsmarted KC, but I suppose we'll see how it pans out

Yet he was returning punts and shows plenty of agility on film. The guy was a highly regarded basketball player.

The reason Higgins lasted till he did was his 40 time, and the same is true with Coleman. He has exceeded his draft status, and if you did a redraft he would be a first rounder. The same thing could be the case with our guy here

He's not slow, though The film doesn't lie They said Jerry Rice was slow, too FWIW

If that's what you got out of that footage, then you don't know what your watching. For starters...the majority of his targets were screen passes to get the ball in his hands immediately. Secondly, in numerous targets the QB would just throw the ball up for him even when he was covered by multiple defenders or he wasn't the intended target. He was often used as a bailout by the QB because he wins matchups/jump balls often. Thirdly, he had guys beat multiple times and he either got past them and wasn't caught, or they held/grabbed him and he drew a penalty flag. Watching his footage tells me a few things. One is that Coleman was the focal point of their offense and teams regarded him as such. That means he is already accustomed to the role of top dog that draws attention. Next is that Jordan Travis is not impressive as a passer. He made numerous bad throws to Coleman, and he relied on Coleman to bail him out way too much. His backup did Coleman little favors as well which explains the dip in numbers after Travis went down. Third is that teams respect Colemans ability to hurt them in all phases. He can take screen passes and turn them into big plays...he runs good slants and can also turn those into big plays, and he can get deep and beat you there as well. If Brady uses this guy right, and runs this offense like it's supposed to be with Josh making quick decisions and hitting whoever is open, then Coleman will be a weapon.

I agree wholeheartedly, and I have zero doubt that Beane did his homework and saw this too. It also explains why he looks like he plays faster on the field. And please don't forget his basketball background, and how that will play into his game as a receiver. This kid is going to be fun to watch, and his teammates are going to love him.
