Bills aPHILLYate

I think we're gonna grab Bishop if we stand pat. Lot of higher end S prospects sitting out there. Still would be ecstatic for Franklin and think it's a legit possibility

They still have Hubbard and Sanders who they invested a lot into as a FA... I don't think they're necessarily doing him the most favors with getting another rb so early

Yes... Most of the 2nd round picks were projected 1st rounders as of 48 hours ago. We have a plethora of talent to still choose from and address needs. I don't see where all the disdain is coming from unless folks had personal attachments to certain players and names

With each passing pick I get more excited about potentially moving up to get Franklin or even getting Walker later. We still could get a top 2/3 safety prospect as it stands without a move. I am very happy with how things are going right now

Walker in the 3rd or 4th and I'm over the moon. Franklin is still out there as I type this as well. It's very doable with also adding size.

Considering that the consensus thought of Kincaid was that he was basically a WR more than a TE, I don't see the downfall of adding a player with the physical traits and ability of a Coleman to the outside; which should theoretically make Kincaid even more of a mismatch on defense from his position

The expectation and direct comparisons shouldn't be based on emotion and attachment to your personal attachment to a player you wanted. I'm not trying to be sarcastic. This is my sentiment to all the detractors and downers. I personally wanted AD but I'm not devaluing the pick because of the name. There are plenty of traits to justify the selection.

A lot of posters and fans who haven't even as much as attended a college football game or even seen any of these guys in person are about to see how far off their projections are. Every projected pick that drops works in favor of the approach that our team took to this draft.

If he simply brings that element to the team on a consistent basis, I think his floor is what we hoped/expected Gabe to provide without the disappearing acts. We literally had Gabe go games without as much of a target and get participation awards in conjunction with our #1 getting 10+ targets to the tune of >50yds and coming off the field every other play. I'm excited and I look forward to the next complimentary piece!

I don't see it that way... I believe we just added a potential playmaker due to his contested catch ability alone. We still can add another element to the group with another selection in this draft as well. I'm high on Samuel in this offense along with progression from Kincaid,Shakir and even Cook in the passing game. Josh operates best with being able to spread the ball around and not having to pepper a specific guy who couldn't crack 30-50yds for more than half a season. I'm very optimistic that opinions will change on this pick very quickly. This is coming from someone who wanted AD arguably for the same reasons.

I'm absolutely fine with the selection. Now address other positions and add another WR in the 3rd or 4th P.S. we will still have future drafts and FA to supplement the WR corps over the next few years

I know I'm in the minority here but I'm all for Coleman as a selection though I covet AD more. I want a big boundary receiver that can simply win contested catches and move the chains. We can still double down for a good deep threat prospect with potential to grow in the offense and provide way more (Walker). I think we are on the verge of having arguably one of the most talented pass catching groups in the league. AD/Coleman Samuel Shakir Kincaid Walker Cook Knox Allen would be able to throw all over the field with that group imo. Nobody would immediately have to be the go to guy or have a quota of catches We still have Shorter, Hamler, Isabella in the mix as well

I want Mitchell at 33 firstly but I wouldn't be upset if we swapped with WAS for picks 40&100 They have 3 3rds... Get Franklin/Coleman/Conkley at 40, a DT at 60, a Safety and Tez Walker in the 3rd... Still got ammo to move up in rd 3 or acquire another 4th... That's potentially 6 players within the next 3 rds with starter potential or fills needs and you still have 4 picks in rds 5-7 for depth and camp bodies

I despise whomever pointed out the 5th year option caveat. Not one single person on this board used that as a justification as to why a player should be picked at 28 as opposed to potentially moving back, gaining draft capital and still being able to acquire said player. Now it's the hot button rebuttal as to why a player (whether we wanted them or not) should've been chosen in the 1st.

So we still have the opportunity to get 1 of the WR's whom many prognosticated or even clamored for in rd 1... Are in great shape to add a DT or S... Recouped a 3rd rd pick... Created flexibilty to address numerous positions in one calendar day... Still can double dip at WR... Have ammo to potentially move back into rd 4... Still have the opportunity to come out of this draft with roughly 6 prospects that actually have the chance to make the team in some capacity... I'm convinced that some are/were more interested in seeing who KC would take just to downplay the Bills decisions either way. The rest of the complaint committee is just in their feelings because the specific player they wanted wasn't viewed the same by the team.

I haven't really studied him at all but is there any comparison to be made between Worthy and DeSean Jackson?

If we don't make a move for one of the top 3/4 I just want a duo of very good prospects added to the WR corp in general. We have a lot of options even if we stand pat or move back. We could end up with a Mitchell/Legette/Conkley & Walker combo and I'd be perfectly fine. We will still have future drafts and FA to add more weapons as well, but I want the precedent to be set THIS draft as far as putting effort into maximizing the weapons for Josh in his prime.

It could be a preference thing but the quad game channels made Redzone basically expendable to me. Especially if you happen to get a nice mix with at least 3 games you're interested in on one channel. You could save a nice amount if you can do without RZ

I'd have to go with Director of scouting. I'd love to assemble and manage the scout team. I wouldn't have to deal with the rigorous travel of the road scouts but also have the luxury of traveling more at my leisure and checking out marquee matchups in person.

This looks as though you don't have auto renewal. If they were gonna charge you it would show that you already have ST with a $0 balance from the previous season and the upcoming renewal date instead of ADD Did you pay the full price last year or in installments? I think if you pay in installments the caveat is that you auto renew unless canceled

I actually thought this would receive more positive reaction. I will always be appreciative of Diggs contribution to our turnaround and helping Josh assert himself as a top 2 qb. I enjoyed the run. I absolutely believe that there is a plan in place. Trade up is very likely or assuredly double dipping in whats projected as one of the most talented WR drafts. I don't think it will be a cataclysmic drop-off. We're getting younger during Josh's prime and it will help sustain it for the foreseeable future.

Fair enough. I was just trying to think of guys who were in the WR matrix of criteria; in which they aren't a 1, could be a 2 but not necessarily capped at a 3 or even a slot

Tell me about it. I remember how I felt as soon as he had that 3 or 4 year run with the Rams. He turned out to be everything I was hoping for in Buffalo

My comparison for Shakir is basically Robert Woods with a headstart on the QB play caveat. Not a definitive #1 or boundary WR... Can lineup in numerous spots... Has potential to consistently surpass 800yds (even cracking 1000 a couple times) on this team... Potential to be an outstanding & effective complementary WR especially if he sees about 60+ targets... I'm very high on him and hope he's a part of the WR core for the foreseeable future I guess had I just scrolled down 2 more posts I could've saved myself the trouble... I completely agree with this take

I'm never gonna be upset with a commitment to retaining drafted players that show some promise We've boasted a top 5 defense for at minimum 5yrs (if not longer) with many varying circumstances Keep as many players that can keep you in that realm; and also affords you the opportunity to focus on the offense in an offense driven league Get a DT & S in FA and the draft, fill out some defensive depth with later rd picks and use the premiums on the offense for at least the next 2-3 yrs I think Beane is handling this offseason with precision and I like the direction
