That is too high a compensation in terms of draft picks. And especially premium picks in what is expected to be a good to great draft class. If it came down to this, it would be the Vikes who would be ecstatic. I wouldnt mind the $$ cost as it is a numbers game. On this note though, I want us to add another vet WR before TC. Cooks is on my list.

I was happy the Bills took a QB that high because we really needed to. I did not have any knowledge of him as a prospect but was supportive and hopeful. But much of his time was me trying to reconcile his terrible performances, his bad decisions and lack of field vision. Then this game happened and I still remember being incredibly depressed that night. The Patriots were rolling over us and our offense did absolutely nothing to show resistance. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/brady-moss-show-buries-bills-316826 That did it for my hopes for him as a savior. The coaches had realized it, when they picked Trent Edwards in the 2007 draft. The Losman and Edwards eras were bad.

My guess is that there is worry about Prater's leg standing up to a 20 game season. Else, he is much more reliable than Bass. As for the draft, I was quite sure they would draft one this year and was surprised we didn't.

Absolutely terrible.

Honestly, even if Coleman becomes a solid #3 WR option for us, dominant in a big slot role, I will be satisfied. While we would have hoped he would be much more, it is better for him to carve out a solid role for himself among the top 3 WR options. I would say that if he achieved this in the upcoming season, it will be found money for us.

If I am not mistaken, he said he talked to more than one doctor. As a player and the Bills organization, you have to go with opinion of the specialists. I can only imagine what our offense will be like when he plays full seasons.

Allen has not consistently had a good deep ball catcher. In the couple of seasons that he had John Brown and Sanders, memory tells me he hit a fair number of those deep balls. But his WR and TEs have basically been good in the short and medium game. His ability to finesse that skill has been due to lack of opportuities. Coupled with the fact that such WRs have not been on the field for the past two years (Palmer and Cooks have been in game for very short periods), how is he to show off his skills? It does take two to tango. Pointing this out is not being sensitive about criticisms against him. He has rightfully taken heat for turnovers and the unwillingness early in his career to take the checkdown. But recognizing that there are other mitigating factors is a balanced take.

And WRs who would actually get deep and be open

Thanks. I do it manually every year soon after the schedule comes out. But this should be very valuable to those who don't.

Obligatory bat signal to @Kirby Jackson 🙂

Or heaven depending on how it ends

Why the heck didn't Thompson take the shot ???

Yesssss !!! Dahlin

How have we only scored one goal so far? That second period was excellent

Dumb question -what about the stick from the back ?
