Promising may have been a better word. I like him, Kincaid, Cook... I'm even coming round to Coleman. Samuel is just about an acceptable number two. But there's a real need to replace Diggs and that meant making a play, either to try and draft one of the big three or going for a veteran. I was hopeful heading into tonight that the Bills might be able to use the additional round two picks this year and next, plus maybe a fifth, to make move. Strike out and take a risk to get someone in who can make a mark. Perhaps that's why I'm so peeved now and maybe I'm being unreasonable.

When you're saying Shorter has to be an option on offense - that's the issue. And I think you're over-egging the pudding about the targets. Kincaid and Shakir are very good but still learning, as is Cook. Coleman is unproven. Samuel is decent. None of them are elite, at least yet. The Bills have gone backwards, and will be expecting even more from Josh to be successful as it stands.

Yeah, he mentions Kincaid had spoken to him about Bishop in the video the Bills posted on X.

But what did you expect from this draft? As I said above, it's a case of quantity over quality when it comes to WR. Once the big three had gone there was a lot of muchness but little difference. My personal wish would be to use stockpiled picks to try and trade for a veteran - I don't thinking picking anyone yesterday, today or tomorrow from the Bills position would move the dial that much.

The WR room in this draft had quantity but not much quality outside of the big three. The Bills were never getting a starter once they had gone, let alone a #1.

Or is Hicks another Franklin, and there's something in the background putting teams off.

Posted on X post draft, though Beane said pre-draft they would be speaking to Josh about who he likes.

Whilst Josh has a receiver corps which probably doesn't even make the top ten in the NFL.

If true, perhaps the pivot was down to Josh's preference? He wanted Coleman over Legette.

I'm not sure whether they had to pivot. There was nothing stopping them picking Legette and rejecting the Panthers offer. I think they simply preferred Coleman's physical attributes.

Roger Goodell's gone home.

If Legette was the Bills target why would they trade back behind the Panthers when it was obvious they would pick him?

If there isn't a conference soon it could be because the Bills are looking trade up.

In fairness, Josh should be used to something going wrong.

Odds on the Chiefs drafting Franklin?

Mike McDaniel is clearly selling ice cream during quiet periods.

I'm not sure. The Bills traded their number one WR due to character issues. Would they really want to replace him with someone else with concerns?

*Reads the thread back* Um... Hi, Keon.

The only reason I have slightly more faith is Josh reportedly wanted him, and he was right on Kincaid. Just have to hope he is right this time as well.

Did the guy sound slightly surprised when announcing the name?

If Franklin or Mitchell fall to 60 (very unlikely) and the Bills draft one of them, then the Coleman pick will suddenly look better.

Feeling tired and annoyed, at this stage I think losing to the Chiefs in the play offs with this roster would be deemed a success.

Someone pointed out earlier - the fans wanted Humphrey over Basham, Metcalf over Ford, Lindelbaum over Elam... sometimes there is logic over the madness (less said about Rosen over Allen).

I think I preferred the trade down with the Chiefs getting Worthy.

Well I've lost the will to live and the Bills aren't even on the clock yet.
