Billl

In the past 2 seasons he’s added Dalton Kincaid, Curtis Samuel, Amari Cooper, Mack Hollins, and Keon Coleman. They’ve combined to play in 17 postseason games. That’s a full season worth of games, and the combined numbers are 34 catches for 423 yards and 4 TDs. The Bills are coming off a loss in the playoffs where their top receivers were Mack Hollins (gone), James Cook (holding out), Khalil Shakir (returning), and Amari Cooper (not under contract). The rest of the team combined for 36 yards. Of course you’re going to get asked about why there was such a lack of attention paid to the receiving room when the only additions have been Josh Palmer and a 7th round WR. It’s a reasonable question, and I’m sure Beane could have had a reasonable response. At the end of the day, this doesn’t amount to anything other than some offseason entertainment. It is kind of funny to see a GM go off on Western NY radio guys, though. You’d be hard pressed to find a media market that puts their local teams under less of a microscope than Buffalo.

I like him a lot, but his fumbling issues give me pause.

Eagles drafted the Georgia defense last year. Bills are countering by drafting the Kentucky defense this year.

Once again, the Eagles also made the perfect pick.

Baltimore, as usual, makes the perfect pick.

No idea, but it’s worth a shot at that price.

Pretty inexpensive move by the Giants for a first round QB. Good move for both teams.

Such a cool moment for Green Bay. Buffalo needs to host a draft sooner rather than later.

Doesn’t matter.

Chicago taking Colston when they had Kmet feels an awful lot like Buffalo taking Kincaid when they had Knox.

Are we sure Manning is that great of a prospect?

He’s a more athletic Keon Coleman.

They should trade back to 10 with Chicago.

What is this fascination with trading back? Buffalo has a ton of picks already. Why water down your existing picks just to get even more?

Not sure about his mocks, but Daniel Jeremiah’s rankings/evaluations are the most consistently good, IMO.

I don't mind the odd number of games if every team has to play one at a neutral site. Taking away home games and making a team play in another country is BS, though if they're doing it for some but not others.

Williams can't win with those who dislike him for reasons that have nothing to do with football. He had a historically good rookie season with 3,500 passing yards, 20/6 TDs/INTs, and 500 rushing yards. It's likely one of the top 5 rookie QB seasons of all time. Just to put his season into perspective, he has the most combined yards of any Bears QB in history and the second best TD/INT ratio. Eric Kramer had one great season out of nowhere in 1995. After that, Williams just had the second best season at QB in the 106 year history of the team.

My hottest take is that the Bills should have let Shakir walk. He’s a good, efficient option when used sparingly, but he’s not someone who should be heavily targeted. In 2023, he had 600 yards and 2 TDs on 45 targets which was great. In 2024 he received an additional 55 targets, but his production only increased by 200 yards and 2 TDs. Meanwhile, they passed on Worthy and McConkey, presumably because they didn’t need slot receivers. What’s more is they turned their first round pick into Keon Coleman and are playing him out of position. Instead of putting him in the slot and let him bully defenders on slants, they’ve got him chasing jump balls on the boundary because he can’t get separation out there. Khalil should have been given the Gabe Davis treatment. Let him put up good numbers on a late round rookie contract and then let someone else pay him to be something more than what his skills suggest he can be.

I can’t imagine this has any impact on their draft plans. This is an effort to shore up the floor of the DB room.

IMO, there are 257 draftable players.

A 32 year old with a blown achilles is the perfect addition to a defense featuring Bosa, Benford, Milano, Daquan, Rapp, Hamlin, etc. Surely they’ll be healthy in the postseason.

Buffalo drafting EJ Manuel shouldn’t be a cautionary tale for NO. If anything, it should encourage them to take a swing at QB. There wasn’t a player taken in the next 10 picks that would have helped Buffalo in the slightest. Hopkins went 27th with Ertz and Darius Slay going at 35 and 36. None of them were likely in consideration at 16 even if the Bills passed on a QB, so literally nothing of value was lost by taking a swing on EJ. This is a similar draft with most “experts” saying that there isn’t much in the way of high end talent out there. The blue chip prospects are going to be long gone by pick 9, so the opportunity cost of missing on a QB is pretty low.
