Nope.
And apparently that's just how Beane likes it. Really disappointing. He came right out and admitted that "other needs" took precedence.
Well, he was lying when he said he wanted to add explosive wide receivers to the room that could create separation. Maybe he's lying now.
I agree about the "really disappointing."

Great response. Thank you for this.
Yeah, I'll admit: I'd feel a lot better about things if the Bills added just one more legitimate dude to the receiving corps, even via free agency.
They're one Samuel injury or one slow Coleman developmental Summer away from Mack Hollins or Justin Shorter being counted on for serious offensive snaps, and that is not acceptable to me.
I'm not even sure who at this point in the offseason would be a viable addition to that room -- OBJ? Chark? MVS? -- but I have my fingers crossed for SOMEBODY.I've been told it's impossible, I guess because of the cap, but I am still going to hold out hope there is a way to bring in Aiyuk. He's exactly what we need.

After this most recent off-season I have to agree
I think this is setting up for a very unfortunate 2-3yr attempt at a ball control grind it out type offense
With Josh Allen at QB. It's criminal if that's the plan.

I've had a low key/under the radar vibe since before the draft that something is in the works veteran receiver wise.... we'll see if my gut is right. No inside source BS....just a feeling I've had.
That's either true, or Beane has unrealistic expectations for his WR room as currently constructed, or this is a punt year in the middle of Josh Allen's prime.
-
I agree with this. I hope he has a post 6/1 trade for an impact WR lined up. I don't have confidence that is the case.
This is a model that makes the playoffs and fails against teams with elite playmakers.
Small caveat: I think Davis is a bit better than you are crediting.

Or maybe he thinks Coleman and Samuel can just step in and replace Diggs/Davis?
I was convinced he'd double dip wrs in the first 4 rounds.
That would fall under "incorrect evaluation of where his WR room is" in my view.
I think they had an unrealistic expectation of Davis after the notorious 13 second game.
I hope they aren't making the same mistake and thinking Shakir is the new Diggs. He does appear to be ascending, but that's a lot to ask.
Taken separately, I haven't hated any of the picks apart from Coleman, and my concern about Coleman is partly because I fear he has to be a big slot to succeed.
Maybe that's wrong. I sure hope he will be a solid boundary receiver X. If he's D Hopkins, it's a spectacular hit, but a lot of receivers with his profile bust or end up having to play in the slot, because they can't separate.
I thought that Beane said they wanted explosive receivers who separate, and so I find it amusing that when folks are exasperated at the pick, they are treated as if all they did was look at the forty time. The outrage is based on expectations Beane set up, not only in his comments, but by not investing in WR in prior drafts, then letting Davis walk (no loss, I think), and on top of that, trading Diggs and taking on a massive cap hit.
Anyway, good luck to him. Beane was either lying, delusional, or has an ace in the hole we don't know about. A trade or post 6/1 FA signing could explain it, and I hope it does.

Beane is actively avoiding WR
He either has a trade set up post 6/1 or he has an incorrect evaluation of where his WR room currently is.

LOL. Beane getting more picks must mean he may have to use them in the 6th.
Only thing I can think of is a P and K will be drafted to create real competition in the Kicking Room.
I wish he would do that.

We have traded back. Beane thinks this is a weak day 3. He is telling us that by his actions. He is right. But if he thought that was he not trying to get up into the 4th another time or two? Empty those other picks out..... what use are they if you think the rounds 5 through 7 talent sucks?
Probably no one wanted those picks. Once you got to the fifth, some teams looked at who was left and were then willing to deal.

He's one of the players we met with. This is the most McBeane draft ever.

We won 6 in a row with Diggs doing nothing and Davis having multiple games of 0-0 0yds. But now we're in a down year because we didnt draft a second WR in the 5th round.
The time to draft the second WR was earlier in the draft. We need to bring in a veteran. If you don't think they need to add another weapon to the WR room, you're reading the talent differently than I.

hey Doc. What I m reading is this current season may be a wash because we didn't pick an impact right away WR? Someone to stretch the field type guy.
The lack of that one aspect is going to hobble our offense and make them fall from post season consideration?
I don't want to buy that. It reads way too pessimistic a take for me to make at this juncture. *shrugs*
I don't think they fall from post-season consideration. I expect them to win the division. I was hoping for more splash impact players.
They are following their formula. High character, sensible picks. It was a good year for WR. I wanted a different approach.
Still going to hope, but the fellas speculating this is the first part of a two-year reset make sense to me.

We're not going after Aiyuk. We're not in a place to pay him the $$$ he wants. I also don't think SF trades him.
I guess Beane's understanding of what it means to make the WR room more explosive doesn't square with common views.
I never said I thought a trade for Aiyuk was likely. We need that kind of receiver, though.
-
1 minute ago, LABILLBACKER said:
Yes it was. Pure stupidity or they're going after Aiyuk? Nothing else makes sense? Rice still available but the wise pick will probably be Kamara.
If they get Aiyuk, it's forgivable, even rational, I suppose. Otherwise, not a great look.

Solid pick as we need more power and depth at C. Resume is impressive. Any ideal on why he slide to the 5th round?
Short arms, Center only, but he will be great.

Love the pick. Go Dawgs.

The 49ers are prepping like their about to trade a WR
Please by Aiyuk to us. I don't know how we pay for it, but the WR room would suddenly make sense.

good complement for Cook. Like others I’m wondering why ND’s running back is falling.
He's slower than Coleman.

Beane is drafting like he has a lifelong contract with the Bills. We have so much need and RB is not one.
They did need a RB2. They also needed S, DT, WR. The whole draft has been about need.

Rice is the only WR left I would take in the fourth. I like Van Pran at C and Allen for RB Hammer.

I think it’s because he is slow and not scheme versatile.
I like him, but I can understand why some teams don’t.
We like smart players with good character and slow. If he's smart and good character, he's ours.

Im pretty good if we can get a Gabe Davis clone today on a rookie contract (hopefully with better hands)The Gabe Davis discourse became toxic because it became time to pay him or let him walk.
I think Keon is the Gabe replacement. They need a Diggs replacement. He isn't in the draft, but they have to try.

Yeah, it's not encouraging. I don't know who can be added. I'm sure they'll bring in a veteran. Someone will shake loose after the draft.
