Oliver was a very good signing. Beane doesn't need help deciding to draft DL early in the draft. That has been his default proclivity. This year, he'd be a damned fool not to grab Josh Allen premium talent at the WR room first, which is badly needed.

He's definitely not a first rounder. If he's the second WR the Bills take, I wouldn't be sad.

Beane should definitely consider it, and he absolutely has to come away with two in the top four rounds. Upgrade the WR room for the best QB in franchise history, and grab that ring.

Unfortunately, I had to tell him it was time to leave the Club house of favorites. I can tell you, he was terribly disappointed. Terribly.

I completely agree. I don't guess you're a Sabres' fan, but it reminds me of the year Carolina won the Cup. Sabres got hit with devastating injuries on D, or I believe it would have been their year. I'm not arguing for ignoring D. No team can afford to do that, but I definitely want to tilt towards WR, and given the depth of this draft, I am willing to gamble more than ordinary to make sure we come away with 2 quality WRs.

If they start falling off the board the way some of you fellas are doom predicting, Beane is going to move up. He won't wait at #28. And frankly, I think he needs to watch his back, because those thieving Chiefs are known perpetrators of no good draft jumping mischief.

I've been wondering about that Coker fella. Waiting on the folks here who study more on the prospects to eventually get to him. The ones I vouch for myself are UGA players and SEC generally, because I watch a lot of that. I like Rice in the fourth.

Yeah, Knights are missing four forwards. I don't care. We are rolling them. Time for the storied end of season charge to 9th place, but at least they are entertaining again.

I got it . . . love literary allusion.

I won't hate it if that's the way they go. I just prefer the big X early, and I think there are players that merit selection at #28. If you go Worthy there, I personally want to get the X in the second or third. I'm going to wait and see how the dust settles after the Combine and free agency. It's easy to get super enthused in the moment, but right now, that doesn't seem impossible. Folks who worry about the D won't like it, but I really think this might be a unique year where opportunity and Josh Allen equals rolling the dice. I think there is enough depth at DT and quality midround safeties to make that risk something you could contemplate.

I think you need to pair him with a big X. If that is your only play in the draft, I disagree with the strategy. I don't know if Beane has it in him to find a way to make that happen, but there is enough quality in this draft to make it happen. Having a player who gives Josh that option though, who scares a defense the way teams have to constantly be aware of Tyreek Hill, I like that.

I don't think it will happen, but I'd be tempted to roll the dice if that was possible.

Very underrated name.

Get superlative talent at a premium position, especially the position that multiplies the effectiveness of your generational talent at QB who has yet to get a ring, on rookie contracts? No, not at all. Let's go DL, S, DL, because it's a deep draft, and the offense is pretty good. How are we going to stop Pat Mahomes?

He won't go that high. We need draft picks. I can see a smaller jump to secure someone if they have a player a tier above still available.

I hear you. We can do both, and twice in the first four rounds is about right.

I dunno, maybe if you close your eyes it won't happen.

So sad, there's a lot of WR talent. Naturally, they won't all hit, but you're still not going to get DL in the first.

I think Billsfan2313 might be a Chiefs' fan.

One thing is for certain. The quality of this draft at WR is like night and day from last year. Beane needs to get two quality WRs out of this draft.

Well, he's a super fast feather. But damn.

Ahh, Beane likes traits. I think he wants a big X. Mitchell, Legette, Thomas, and Coleman check that box. To repeat what I wrote earlier, Greg Cosell is one of the most astute football minds. I think he's especially good on WR. He watched the same tape, and came away very impressed with Mitchell. Legette is going to be good, imo. I'm not one of those who would be super angry if they took McConkey, because he's right at the top of my list for folks I like in this draft. I don't think it would be the right move, but that's because I think we need to prioritize a different kind of receiver. All the same, in truth, if McConkey ends up on the Bills, I'm buying his jersey.

Yes, I've said in various threads that he is a late first round talent. I will absolutely hate it if he ends up in KC.

No, I was mainly just joking. Both of you are must read for me, and I'm sure you both know a lot more about football than I do. I've just been watching since I was a lad, and now I'm pretty old, so I figure that counts for something.

I don't think it's great for the board, you and Gunner agreeing so much. Do you prefer Coleman or Legette at #28? I'll hang up and listen.
