I misread the wrongly spelled thread title: "Add 2 Bills draught players in their prime" I read "draught" as "draft" not "drought" as @H2o later corrected me. Given my fondness for alcohol and that "draught" and "draft" have the exact same sound, it's not that unreasonable!

Oh... poor spelling messed me up. If it's "drought" era players, I might go Mario too. But I might also take Owens over Moulds, even at that later point in his career.

I'm guessing that Beane wants to see what happens in camp and maybe even the start of the season. If the WR room is as bad as the critics say it is, expect a trade. The trade deadline is Nov. 5, 2024. Lots of time to get a vet that way if Beane was wrong.

Je$us, are we gonna have to deal with a decade of hoping this kid gets hurt so we can feel vindicated? That's exhausting.

1. Bruce Smith (people are nuts taking Schobel over him) 2. Eric Moulds if "drafted" by the Bills is a criterion 2B. Terrell Owens if there is no "drafted" requirement

What's your projection for him in a couple years when he has the time to refine his game? Do you think he has high-level starter potential (even as a number 2 rather than number 1) or do you strongly feels he will be a JAG due to his lack of speed?

RE: his combine interview. II love this kid. Best "character" I can remember from a rookie — but he seems genuine as well and team centered and willing to put in the hard work. Will he be a good or great receiver? I don't know. Will I root for him and hope he's a huge success? Damn right.

Bigger receivers don't fundamentally means transition to more running (though more effective blocking when we run helps). Perhaps Beane thinks bigger WRs can outmuscle smaller dbs, either to make the initial catch or for YAC. It would be folly to not prioritize the arm of the one of the best QBs of his generation.

G**damn, Claypool's a bigger boy than I remembered: 6’ 4’’ 238 lbs If he gets his head on right maybe he realizes at 25 he still has a chance with Allen to make a something of his career.

If Samuel can't play outside full time it was pretty dumb to give him that contract (as opposed to spending it on a true outside guy) when we have Shakir and Kincaid. I see where you and others are coming from. I'm hoping it works out because getting worked up about it is futile.

So you don't believe Samuel and Coleman can start outside? I know Samuel has played a lot inside but he's played some outside and Keon is a rookie but it seems like that's the plan. At least, I don't know of any other way to read what Beane has done. We can't have a team full of slot specialists, can we?

I like his vision going up the middle and he seems like he's got decent hands. But I'll take his "five foot eight" with a grain of salt; he looks super short. But with some muscle on him that's a lower center of gravity and perhaps harder to tackle. I like his counterpoint to Cook's speed running outside.

Dirty player, dirty citizen.

All Bills fans should be rooting for this kid (regardless of your or other pre-draft assessments of him) because he's a Buffalo Bill now. But, damn, this kid is SO likeable, charming, funny and easy to root for. I can't remember the last time, maybe Josh just because he was a high draft pick QB, where I wanted someone to succeed like this kid. RG3 made a comment about him sounding like a coach or analyst when Keon was discussing a corner he played with. Keon just shrugged and said something like, "Nah, I'm just a guy who loves football." Love this kid. Go Keon, go Bills!

I trust Simms' opinion more than anyone's here. So this is encouraging...
