I am not sure about this. The Bills scored more points against the Chiefs than any other team this past season in that playoff game. That includes both regular and post season. The offense is not Broken and I believe will be better even without Diggs because we will be less predictable. Compared to the Niners and Ravens we were the Greatest Show on Turf. Our defense let us down. A healthy interior DL and back 7 will do wonders for the Bills come playoff time. Bills need to figure out how to rush the passer in the playoffs. That has been the biggest travesty for the Bills. No sacks against the Chiefs in 2021. Bengals. 2002. Chiefs 2023. It wasn't even that we didn't get any sacks. We didn't even put pressure to sniff Mahomes or Burrow. With Brady offense we hopefully have less boom or bust series on offense and more time of possession that gives our d more of a break. Look at Miami. Fast scoring offenses often put a lot of stress on the defense which leads to more injuries.

You're justified in thinking this way but I am going to enjoy the 30 million after this year in cap savings and save my opinions about this new offense after seeing how our new approach going larger at X receiver pays off. I think the Bills have a clear idea about having large men all over their receiving core to disguse some offensive looks and also help in the redzone. Far too often last year the Bills moved the ball at will between the 20s only to rely on Allen heroics in the redzone. With Coleman, Hollins, etc out wide it allows us to be less predictable on offense. As a DB you don't know if you're gonna be blocked into the dirt or having to play jump ball with a 6'3 receiver whose much more athletic and talented than Gabe Davis. This will also make it more difficult on the defenses who knew when we were running or passing in the redzone. This team stalled because opposing teams threw their # 1 corner on Gabe Davis who could only run two routes and had no jump ball ability. Then they'd just run double coverage on Diggs. It wasn't until the Bills worked the intermediate part of the field where things started to turn. I also believe Shakir will be one our X receivers between the 20 yard lines. Guy is 6 foot. 190 pounds. He isn't small by any means and he has become an above avg. blocker as well. I like the idea of a sustaining drive offense as well. I think the less time the defense is on the field its better for injury purposes. Our defense has been a MASH unit for far too many playoff runs.

I wish more Bills fans recognized this. The National Media I get. Diggs, Davis Poyer, White etc were National Household names. Of course the media is going to paint our doom, especially with the love affair with Aaron Rodgers and Miami. Us Bills fans should know better. Hyde is about to retire. Poyer being so great grabbed 2 million as a FA. White has played 10 games in 3 seasons. Davis could never put up decent #s even though he had Diggs opposite him and Allen as his QB. Morse was solid but who knows when his next concussion will happen. Diggs was the only loss the Bills are going to feel this season and quite honestly I'll take the extra 30 million in cap space moving forward. All these guys were serious let downs in the playoffs. Of course Davis will always have the 2021 Chiefs Divisional Game. Diggs disappearing act in the playoffs wore thin.

This article is so bang on. The interior DL and the linebackers will be much better simply because Milano will be back and Bernard will continue to evolve. Corner is a wash and quite honestly so is Dend. If not a slight improvement. ACL injuries are brutal and Von never should've played last season. He will be better than what Floyd gave us last season. Safety is the only question mark and if there is one position this coaching staff gets its Safety. On offense I implore people to really think on this. Our oline is still the best its ever been with Josh Allen outside last season. Our RB are the best its ever been under Josh Allen. Where people fail with their receiver logic is simple to me. Shakir, Samuel, Coleman, Kincaid, Knox is superior to any receiver group we have had with Allen. Yes Diggs is an alpha but we never really surrounded him with legit B level talent. Gabe Davis, Isiah Mckenzie, John Brown, Hardy, about to retire Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley outside 2021 never produced better than at a C level rate. Bills have never had decent receiver talent outside Diggs. So the question we need to ask is if force feeding Diggs the ball ultimately a better offense than spreading the ball around to B level talent? Of course I'd love a Diggs level talent and still hope we trade for one but this group of receivers are better than any other group we had had with Josh Allen. Bills were predicted to win the Superbowl in 2022 with Isiah Mckenzie as our slot. Singletary as our starting RB and a much worse Oline. Worse DT Worse DE. Worse corners. Worse TE. Worse receiver group behind Diggs. LB is a push. so really besides safety which looks promising we actually look better going into 2024 than the projected Superbowl 2022 team. People need some serious context.

Bills should be the AFC East fav. This isn't the NBA where names rule the day. Bills interior dline and linebackers will be better than last year. Safety has a load of potential. Corner remains the same. Edge has some intrigue. Offense has far more above. avg talent rather than just feeding Diggs. Hoping for volume baskets.

I dont like this logic. We built fantastic depth in this draft which is what we needed to do instead of dishing out 4 to 5 million $ to rotational linebackers, dlineman, and secondary. Coleman replaces Gabe Davis. Nothing more. Nothing less. He grades to be better than Davis. Diggs isn't replaceable. Bills are gonna sling the ball all over the field rather than force feed one guy. Let's see how this works out. Shakir, Samuel, Kincaid, Coleman, Knox, Cook, Ray Davis is so much better than people are giving credit. This group is light years better than Diggs, Mckenzie, Davis, Singletary Diggs, Beasley, Brown, Singletary Diggs, Davis, barely used Shakir and Kincaid until last few games, Cook coming out party near the end. Our RB room has never been better. Oline is better than any season outside last under Allen. Bills have never had elite talent at receiver besides Diggs. This group is better than any receiver the Bills have had besides Diggs and Beasley in 2021. Cole Bishop replaces Poyer and I love this pick. Starter day one. Bills are absolutely flushed with cap space and draft picks for 2025. We will have 7 picks in the top 150 next year. (1) 1st (2) 2nds (1) 3rd (4) 4ths. You can't go all in every year. This is what made the Chiefs Super Bowl this season so special for them. 2023 was clearly a transition year for the Chiefs and they still won anyways. Dolphins and Jets are about to enter cap hell after this season and the Patriots are a long way a way. For now I'll enjoy 2024 and see how the young defense develops and how the post Diggs offense runs.

Best Draft. No. I mean it could be but its a little rich to say right now. I dont like the doom and gloom posters. Mostly because I dont think they have a clue what they're talking about and base opinions on their personal Madden Franchises. Beane set the Bills up for a fantastic 2025 FA and draft. I think Beane got a lot of solid guys in this draft who are going to start. Next year Edge, Corner and either IOL and receiver must be their first 3 picks. Id rather trade for an established edge like the Giants did with Brian Burns.

You guys do know that you wouldn't receive much more for Milano than what you received for Ryan Bates right? What world do you guys live in where you think Milano would go for anything more than a late 4th? 30 year old off ball linebackers are simply not a sought after position in the NFL. Long story short. Milano means 100 times more to the Buffalo Bills than any other NFL defense.

Who are you taking? Polk or Coleman? McConkey or Pearsall? Thomas Jr or Franklin? Mitchell or Legette? Thats not even mentioning Burton, Wilson, Swift, Washington, Rice This draft is loaded

I heard the biggest knock on him to the Bills was that he wasn't smooth and elusive and would struggle creating his own separation in the NFL? Experts are saying they'd prefer guys who can create separation to play with Josh Allen.

People don't want to hear this but I personally believe a few receivers are being bumped up into Round 1 and early Round 2 who are big risks. Xavier Worthy Troy Franklin Keon Coleman These guys provide a ridiculous skill set but have a few more red flags than the Ladd McConkey and Xavier Legette of the world. AD Mitchell you better be damn sure he's going to reach his potential otherwise that can be bust. Basically I could comfortably see these guys having better pro careers than the first three mentioned. Ricky Pearsall Malachi Corley Roman Wilson Brenden Rice Malik Washington Jalynn Polk Jermaine Burton (character questions)

Look im far from a Dawson Knox supporter. I wouldn't overly care if was released tomorrow. The fact is, is he does a heck of a lot more than just chip block as you call it. The guy is one of the better blocking athletic tight ends in the NFL. He already took a pay cut. If he has another season like last year production wise he will take another one as the writing will be on the wall. Either way Kincaid isn't even in the same stratosphere as a blocker as Knox and until he is id prefer to have Knox around.

I think the Bills need to either trade for a top tier young receiver or top tier young dend with Diggs cap space. The reality is, is we can afford to bring one of those positions along through the development of a rookie but not two. Rosseau and an established Dend with Epenesa as an immediate 3rd is way ahead of anything the Bills have had. Could you imagine if the Bills swing a Brent Burns style trade like the Giants next off season? Bills would be set at QB, both dends, and LT. arguably the 3 hardest positions to fill. I love cost certainty which picks bring but the Bills need a for sure hit at either the # 1 receiver or Dend spot. If the Jags come to the Bills next off season and say your 1st and a 3rd for Josh Allen (Jags Dend) The Bills need to seriously entertain that.

Knox is overpaid by 3 million. People really need to get over Knox. If Knox is your quote on quote worst contract (news flash Von is) You're doing OK. He does need to do more and the timely brutal drops must go but he's a solid player. If the Bills released him he would be on the market for 10 minutes before signing a new contract for a lot more than people expected. A guy who brings Knox athletism who can block is a desirable commodity in the NFL. Besides if Knox has another season like last year he will either take another paycut or he will have lived up to his contract in which case who cares. Its not like he's a super diva whose going to cause a stink. The guy knows his value and wants to be a Buffalo Bill and stay with Josh Allen. Outside the very best of the best of the best. That is exactly how Tight Ends are used. Knox is an above avg. blocking Tight End in the NFL of guys who can actually go out and run routes. Is he a Lee Smith? No. But teams also know Lee Smith isn't a threat in any other way.

He absolutely would. He plays on a offense that doesn't require him to and he isn't asked to because the Niners are loaded with offensive talent. Vikings are like the Diggs version of the Bills. They know if Jefferson isn't going theyre screwed so they need to feed him the ball. Good thing they got Addison. If you traded for Aiyuk and drafted Xavier Legette you'd essentially would be replicating the Niners only you'd have Josh Allen and better oline. T. Williams is there only above avg. lineman. Sure CMC, Kittle, Samuel would be better than Cook, Kincaid, and a hypothetical Legette but you'd also be adding Shakir and Samuel and you'd be much further ahead. The Bills have Allen which is the most difficult piece to get. The Bills could make this offense scary so fast. They really should be going full throttle to do this.
