    I've lived here my whole life and I understand the sentiment 

     

    But firebaugh it's a town of 3,000 people... That is small town 

     

    Buffalo is 270,000.. with massive suburbs 

     

    I brought people here from the sticks of Alabama... And buffalo is huge to them

     

     

     

     

    And then they see New York, or Chicago, or LA. There is always a bigger pond…

    I have zero concern over the Jets.......they'll implode again this year, like every season before.

    Crazy that they have 6 primetime games.  Of course, I believe they are all in the first 11 weeks, just in case.

    Week after the draft, after watching Keon, listening to him and reading about him all I can think of is Josh scramble play where he gets close to the sideline and unleashes 30-40 yard bomb to Keon who is "covered" but doesn't care and catches the damn ball for huge gain.

     

    I love the imagery! Even though it gave me flash backs to that damn catch by Justin Jefferson. (not that I'm comparing the 2)

    96 starts in his career.  Brings a lot of experience.

     

    Ran a 4.38 40 at the combine 8 years ago.  Wonder how much of that speed he still possesses?  

     

    PFF rated him as the 7th best LB in the league back in 2021 but only graded him a 66.3 last season in limited action as a backup.  

     

    sounds like maybe he was hurt, or coming back from an injury?

    We haven't seen it much though. I think he can run a vertical and catch it.

    Agreed, mostly because he was mis-used, (in my opinion) and has only played with mediocre QB's thus far in his career. 

     

    That being said, Next Gen Stats (@nextgenstats on TwitterX), and Cover1 support the case that his physical capabilities are still there.  

     

    1. According to NextGen, Samuel averaged 9.08 mph within the first second of his routes in 2023. They call it "burst" He was the 3rd quickest in the NFL for receivers with at least 300 routes. Bills ranked 29th in the league in that category last year, at 7.95 mph.  (Gabe was 8.25 mph and Stef was 7.73)

     

    2. Cover1 posted that Samuel was tied for 13th last season in average separation with 3.3 yards.  

     

    Those are elite numbers. Now Josh just needs to get him the ball, and he could have a great season.  That burst will keep teams honest.  I am honestly starting to get excited. There is a lot of talent on this Offense!

    Don't enjoy McAfee. Please provide run down. 

    Beane handled him well.  At one point he chastised McAfee for continuing to bust his balls about letting some of his “favorite players” go.  He also had a funny story about Josh doing a bunch of mock drafts and calling Beane to tell him the results.

    Wow! Everybody hatin' on this guy already? I'll give him a chance. Go Keon! Make them eat their words.

     

    BTW, DHop ran a 4.57s 40 at the combine. TO ran a 4.65. Best ball skills in the draft. I'll compare him to KB if and when he fails. Until then I'll give him a chance to work on his route running. He's 20 and lacking in experience. I see a lot of room for growth.

    Davonte Adams ran a 4.56 and was drafted with the 53rd pick. The list goes on and on.  All these fools judging Coleman strictly by “draft season” instead of the person and the football player that he is, are really annoying.  
     

    “my mock draft said he was the 10th best receiver! Oh no, we are doomed!”

    Lol.

  8. From my buddy that is a die hard UGA fan. (And slowly becoming a Bills fan):

     

    “Sedrick Van Pran.  1st team All-SEC. 2nd team AP All American.  Remington Award finalist. Voted top OL in the SEC.  UGA team Captain and 2 time National Champion. High character, team leader.  Steal at the top of the 5th round .      Go Bills!”

     

    “I can’t believe he was still on the board.  I was thinking 2-3 round.  He will be a 10 year starter... if you need a center”

     

    <I said, we definitely need a center>

     

    “He’s your man then.  
    I heard the reason he dropped was that he is a center only and doesn’t play guard.”

    To me, that is not necessarily an indicator of success for WR’s. A big part of why many of the top receivers don’t sign a second contract, is because they are very successful and become too expensive for the team that drafted them to retain them. 
     

    All the more reason to get a top WR in the first round, to have that extra year on their rookie deal.

    Worthy is definitely the pick here. Can’t teach speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed

    If they trade up to #19 only Thomas makes sense to me. Because the rest are likely available at #28 or with a very small trade up. 

    Yeah, I kind of feel like Worthy is more likely to drop down to 28 than Thomas is, or, as Gunner said, move up into the 24-27 range to make sure you secure him. (which fits Beane's M.O.)

    Today on WGR, they were talking about someone they trust from the Athletic saying the Bills are trying to trade up into the top 10 for Rome Odunze

    I really like Odunze, and have seen him compared to TO and Davonte Adams, which is obviously very high praise.  Watching his highlights, he appears to be well above average at catching contested balls, and has a ridiculous catch radius.  Seeing all of the contested catches does make me wonder how well he will be able to separate in the NFL, but all in all, I would be very excited to get him in Buffalo.  He seems built to play in the Buffalo weather.

    I thought the Bears were looking to move on from Fields and will be taking a QB.

    They will be taking Caleb Williams with pick #1, but they also have pick #9.
