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.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
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.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
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

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -
Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
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

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -

BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -

BeastMaster replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
He definitely plays faster than what his 40 indicates. The basketball background shows and he is relatively smooth and fluid. The hands are just top notch. Couple that with his attitude and work ethic and I fully expect this kid to be productive. The greatest receiver was considered slow, too. It's all about how you work and how much of a competitor you are. Having Josh Allen helps, too -

Guys of his build just don't hold up He will be dangerous when available, but it's likely that he is often not available -

BeastMaster replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Let's be clear here...Worthy is no Tyreek Hill I wanted a deep threat to open up things, but there are other guys that can do what Worthy does We'll see if he holds up at the NFL level. History says these guys are continuously hurt, and he's as tiny as it gets -

I liked Worthy due to his elite speed that nobody in this draft comes close to, but I'm OK with the trade back Deep draft class, and there are numerous wideouts left that have alot of potential -

No big deal Plenty of wideouts available that are much more ready to contribute -
Rumor: Bills trying aggressively to move up for a WR in round one
BeastMaster replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
No pick is guaranteed to be a starter Picks are just more lottery tickets If you believe you can trade a few in for the best shot at the best prize, then maybe it's worth it. Not saying I am for it or against it, but I can see why a team might make the move -
Brian Thomas Jr is not a master of anything in terms of catching the football, but I digress. Legette is an AJ Brown type. He doesn't need to blow by guys because he's physical enough to win matchups. I see the pros and cons to both, but I think your a little bit blinded by Brian Thomas' splash plays, which were in many cases he was wide open

Lance Zierlein: Bills should draft 2 WR in the first 3 rounds
BeastMaster replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
With our need for WR help, and this class being deep at the position, I would have no issue using both picks on receivers. Let McDermott work with some holes on his side of the ball for a change. It's his unit that has failed to get the job done when it matters most while having everything he asked for, so he should have to suck it up this season
