This lineup is stronger than last year. We are rid of WR drops and bad attitudes. Our safeties will outperform our old heroes. We will get better IOL play. And Coleman will make more highlight reels and game-winning catches than anyone in the 1st round.

Gabe Davis taught the Bills this one important lesson: Nothing is more important than catching the football. We can also thank Gabe for drafting Kincaid and Colemam. I agree. We may be the best WR-hands team in the league. It has been said, and I am now fully on board: Keon Coleman has the best BALL SKILLS of any WR in this draft.

This guy has more sacks than our DL. And returns punts. Meet the newest late-round McBeane DB gem.

We radically changed our board. And got the better WR. Worthy will not be what you think he will. Keon looks like the next guy to catch 4 TDs against KC in the AFC Championship game. And do it year after year.

I was on board with Ladd. Felt sick watching the Chargers celebrate at #34. Watched more Coleman of his highlights. I started to see it. He will be a super-charged Gabe Davis. He will catch all the TDs and close-calls Gabe dropped. He will catch all of Cooks dropped TDs in the red zone. He will get Josh's desperation passes running out the sideline in triple coverage. And catch them. I'm good. I encouraged my fellow Bills fans to back away from that ledge I was hanging over.

Love it. Worthy has questionable hands, and doesn't play as fast as you think. Beane doesn't make that trade if he wanted Worthy. And I am glad.

Yeah, seemed like we were a year too late on Diggs. That extension was up there with Miller's contract. The signing makes Dawkins worth more. Locked up in his prime. IDK if I got the bonus/cap hit right, though.

Not to worry. I expected people to laugh at me. But remember it if it goes down tomorrow.

My enduring mental pic of Dawkins will be (after telling the world Buffalo could not lose at home) of stepping on Josh and killing a Shakir TD. I doubt I'm the only one who noticed.

Recall how many people thought the Collins signing was to turn Spencer Brown into a trade chip. Dawkins makes more sense.

That would kill my fight of fancy, but I doubt it's accurate. Dion likely has a bunch of guaranteed money, but most can be passed on.

Didn't they pay out some money to Diggs just before trading him? And doesn't the Dawkins terms make him more attractive?

The $11m makes a difference. Not sure how much. Not Collins. Backup only.

I rarely post, but feel I owe the community an outlandish projection. And I have earned the right. - KNEW that Allen was the Josh before the pick when 90% of this board had Rosen. - Picked Oliver as the target. - Sorta knew Kinnkaid was the man. - Strongly believed Diggs would be traded even though everyone claimed the cap was a no-go. - IDK, I may be in Beane's head ... that's why I need to type this. With that out of the way: Setting the stage: - Most teams now regard Malik Nabers as the #1 WR - MHJ dropped a bit due to non-combine participation. - Rome is showing up on more mocks out of the top 10. - AZ is going to cash in on a trade-down. - And if AZ doesn't, the Chargers will. - LAC could go WR, but almost everyone expects Joe Alt. - The Giants likely shut out of QB convo, will go WR - TN is all about an OT. Maybe like LAC. - Bills signed L Collins. - Diggs was not the only player feeling their oats on Twitter. D Dawkins was there too with his predictions. And post-season, with the googly eyes hoping he would get his extension. 3x20m. - LAC wants to move down, and TN needs OT too. The Terms: - If the Bills believe they have a replacement on the roster for Dawkins, he will be used as trade bait for LAC/TN. - Bills could then make that trade without exhausting this and next year's draft capital. - 28, 60, 2025 2nd for 1.5/7 + 4th. Projection: - 1-4 QB - LAC - Joe Alt - NYG select - Nabers, a diva in waiting. He will make Diggs and his passive-aggressive antics look like a straight-shooting choirboy. - Bills via TN - MHJ. I may be overestimating Dawkins' return. And of course, misreading the tea leaves. But that is my Mighty Kreskin moment for the 2024 NFL Draft.

If he was sick enough to lose 10 lbs, he would have never worked out. This is b#llshit agent-speak - rewriting history.

Has anyone dismissing McConky as an X receiver considered that, aside from being a great WR prospect in general, his future could be as a replacement for a fading Diggs? As Cosell pointed out in the video posted in this thread, Diggs is no longer a #1 WR. And we're aware of certain behind-the-scenes possibilities in the locker room that may affect his future here - along with his cap numbers. The Bills are not simply faced with replacing Gabe Davis. They have to up the game of the entire WR room. For this reason, I would not rule out a McConkey selected at #28 if Beane thinks he is the best WR. The only surefire big-bodied studs in this rich WR class are MHj and Odenze - and out of our reach. With the uncertainty around Diggs' performance and contract, we need to add talent, not a height /weight profile. For example, Orange asked a great question up-thread. Why isn't AD Mitchels tape more impressive? Take the best WR, period. Come back on Day 3 and select the trait guys to fill out the roster.

Josh was easily the most dominant player on the field in the divisional round. Mahomes just gets all the credit. He has a better team, mainly because their front office takes Humphries instead of Basham, or McDuffie instead of Elam.

Put OJ on today's Bills (along with Braxton) and he'd win the MVP even now. Receiving yards would be off the charts, and he'd run over modern LBs and DBs alike. Josh would be his closest competition. How many years did we endure the endless fawning over Emmit Smith and Barry Sanders as the best of all time? Only Brown could make a case, and that ignores OJ's 3 lost seasons from bad coaching and injuries.

Agreed, but this signing was always a nightmare in the making. Paying $120 mil for a guy at the end of his career is never a good idea. Watching OBD lap it up was astonishing. This was Beane at his worst.

That's the biggest problem. Teams like the Jets and KC are hitting on difference makers, while Bean is collectings draft and FA JAGS.

Beane is a Needs drafter. IMHO, his formulas push player position rankings to where we reach for the JAG OL this year and miss the All Pro WR, and next year pass on the All Pro OL for a JAG DL. This is the only way I can understand how he actually makes good late round picks - where he dumps his awful algorithms. Everyone says Diggs was a great trade. I suppose it was. Especially for Beane. Does his history suggest he would have picked Jefferson, already a more acclaimed WR, if he kept the pick?

That clip has inspired me to make my first post in 10 plus years. That was fricking awesome. I am pumped about Josh Allen!

Until such time that universities offer a minor in common sense, the Olbermanns' of the world will continue to be reviled. And then there is this:

Booo.
