    I see what you're saying. And Peoples-Jones/Jefferson are the safer options. But very low ceilings on both IMO.

     

    What I find interesting about throwing their names out vs Claypool is that all 3 entered the league in the same season. 2020. Both Claypool and Peoples-Jones have played in 58 games. Jefferson is credited with 61. So a fair sample size out of each.

     

    Of the 3, Chase Claypool has more receptions, yards, TDs and 100 yard games than the other two. And that's despite doing next to zero for the last 2 years. 

     

    I would call him the higher ceiling option. 

    I get your point. It's just that all I'm looking for are players who are reliable receivers.

     

    I don't care about a players ceiling when we are looking at a 4th or 5th receiver option. If they can get the job done, I'm happy, because I doubt that these receivers we are signing to 1 year deals are a part of the long-term plans for the team.

     

    Then again, I could be wrong.

    Bills fans conversations…

     

    Going into the draft:  We HAVE to draft a WR!!!!!

     
    After the draft:  Not THAT guy!!!!

     

    The week following:  We HAVE to add a veteran outside/big WR!!!!!

     

    After adding one:  Not THAT guy!!!!

    You got that right.

     

    I still muse that the Bills could've had Van Jefferson or Donovan Peoples-Jones. Both are young and have good experience and would not have cost that much to sign. I find these two receivers to be better options than Cephus or Claypool.

     

    That being said, I'll give both Cephus & Claypool a chance. They are both low risk signings.

    Well, we do really need another slot WR. 🤔🙄

     

    Maybe we can come up with a new formation featuring three Slot WRs, no splits, and two RBs.  Seems to fit with McD's complimentary football MO.  

     

    Funny, everyone just slammed Xavier Worthy who's similarly sized but faster.  

     

    This place ... LOL 

     

     

    Yep, they keep yelling that we're not going to win with choir boys, then we get Stefon Diggs, and everyone wants him banished, but let's replace him with Brandon Aiyuk. :doh:

    Move back, he's upset about no 3rd for Edmunds and wants to get some guys that can start in 2024 and maybe 2025 and to me that comes from quality picks early and easiest way to get more is to trade down in Round 1.

    I agree with your take. I'm still pissed that we didn't get that 3rd rounder for Edmunds.

     

    I do think that Beane will look to move up, but I don't think there will be any takers.

     

    Trading down seems very likely. Maybe we move down a couple spots with San Francisco, and get one of their many draft picks. Then find someone early in the second round to trade with?

    Agreed.

    Even BEFORE Diggs left town, everyone in the world said "the Bills need to get more help for Josh". 

    Then we shipped a 100 catch, 1,400 yard a year guy out of town, and Gabe Davis -- who, say what you want about him, scored a lot of touchdowns for this team -- is gone.

    Now, when I mention double-dipping in rounds 1 and 2 at WR, I get a lot of pushback and people saying "The Bills have other needs!".

    But...if the Bills needed to add a receiver BEFORE Diggs and Davis left town, they DAMNED sure need to add TWO of them now!

    I understand the arguments for improving the defense, but to me, nothing trumps surrounding our franchise QB with as much weaponry as possible in terms of importance. Let's end this "Bills don't give Allen enough help" narrative once and for all. 

    This is why I was hoping that the Bills had tried to sign another veteran WR. Getting Samuel was good, but if they also pursued a player like Van Jefferson or Donovan Peoples-Jones, the wide receiver group would be more stable.

     

    If they want to draft two receivers early, fine. I just don't expect huge things from rookie players right away.

    They target arm length and wingspan at the position. Groot and AJ were in the top 3 DE's in that category, both in the high 80 and 90th percentile in that category. It wasn't by some accident.

     

    Kneeland is this year and they already hosted him for a visit in Buffalo. So as much as I would also hate this pick I don't think it's very far fetched. We have shown it's a position we will invest heavily in. We have need. We have shown interest in Kneeland and his profile is similar to two players we drafted prior. Don't shoot the messenger.

    I like McConkey a lot. He really stepped up when Bowers went down. I think he can do a lot of things for us. 

    You really think that they would take him in the first round?

    Here are the 5 worse secondaries from last year ranked.

     

    #28 Colts

    #29 Giants

    #30 Cardinals

    #31 Raiders

    #32 Bears

     

    if so it would soften the compensation it would take to move up with any of these teams. How Elam’s value is perceived is something I’d be curious to know. 

    Bad idea.

     

    We've already lost White & Jackson. Getting rid of Elam, would only cause another hole to fill.

    I mean depending on compensation, he’s a good player….but the guy’s attitude is something we just traded….

    His attitude could be even worse. He does a lot of talking on the field and he's gotten penalized for it many times.

    Spencer Rattler...put him on Washington, or LSU, or Oregon, or Michigan or Florida State or whatever and I just wonder if the results are different. There is something about him...I'm not typically a small quarterback guy, but I find him interesting in terms of the arm talent and athleticism. The wrist flick on some of his deep throws are just different. 

     

    His college film isn't much different than Patrick Mahomes' was. I think if Rattler gets in the right situation he will make it. 

    Wow!

    I really like your takes when it comes to the draft and the players, but this post from you surprises me.

     

    I've never been impressed with Rattler. I just don't think he's lived up to the hype. Unless there is something that he hasn't shown us, I cannot picture him making it in the NFL.

    That being said, I respect your analysis.
