My brother is convinced that the Bills are sort of evolving the passing game towards the 49ers scheme. Curtis Samuel is basically a poor man’s Deebo Samuel. He will be used to do a variety of things but isn’t a high volume target that Diggs was.
The biggest problem at the moment with copying the 49ers is that they have a guy that the Bills don’t. Ayiuk average 18 YPC last year!! For perspective, Tyreek Hill has never averaged more than 17 YPC. Ayiuk is an elite WR that commands attention and gets down the field. It would be like copying the Chiefs offense without having a tight end.
RIght. If you add Aiyuk to our WR room, I like it a whole lot more.

lol Samuel isn’t the replacement for Harty. Harty barely played offense. Samuel is going to get a lot of targets
So happy you find it risible. It's the question of what role they play in the offense. Harty was a bust, and they dropped him and added Samuel.

I think Samuel will fill that role not Shakir
I think he is the replacement for Harty, not Diggs or Davis. He's a higher end Swiss army knife.

Shakir is going to be much more than a role player. The advanced metrics on him are spectacular and are screaming to give him the ball more.
Their actions imply that they think he can fill the void left by the departure of Diggs. That's a heavy lift, unless they bring a veteran in to mitigate the risk.

I like what I’ve read about Kansas Edge Austin Booker. He’s a physical freak that just hasn’t had the reps.The little I have read on him is that he is young and has potential. Day 3 flier on an edge is about right for this draft.

Things no coach can teach are size and speed/athletic ability and he has all of those things for the safety position. I like this pick much better then other 2 choices , I just hope Beanne focuses in on speed with his day 3 choices. Tired of hearing about high motor and good character guys, you think Andy Reid cares about high character guys.
Are you kidding, he marks them down a round.

The thing is, though, gabe davis, kelvin benjamin, and devin funchess aren’t guys who were ever capable of getting a roster spot on an historically elite D1 college basketball squad: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/keon-coleman-1.html. Something to factor in.
I guess I'm comfortable with him as a Gabe Davis replacement. I still don't like that where he excels, or has a better chance at success, is as a big slot.
Beane was talking about adding explosiveness to the WR room. Is that supposed to be Samuel, because Coleman isn't that?
If you add prime and congenial Stephon Diggs to the current WR room, that would be a nice collection. Unfortunately, we are missing the key ingredient.

I listed him as a likely target like a month ago too…. But then he kind of fell from my board. Early in the process and with diggs still I thought they’d want a bigger frame guy. When diggs left I started keying on locking in a true WR1 prototype more which I don’t think he has the gifts to beHe's a Gabe Davis replacement.

There are a couple of guys I’ve been looking at that I think can help our team that are still on the board
C - Sedric Van Pran (Yes, I’m a UGA fan, but he is a very good center)
WR - Tez Walker - Decent size and excellent speed.
RB - Isaac Guerendo - 6’ 220 and ran a 4.33 40 at the combine. 99 athleticism score at the combine.
I just assumed Van Pran was gone. Walker in the fourth, okay.
Guerendo or Braelon Allen at RB. I wouldn't mind Kendall Milton later in the draft.

I just don’t know where the depth goes..We have our starters.
We have Lael Collins pushing to start, but also slots in as backup OG, OT.
And we have two guys in the system that the FO likes a lot in Anderson (IOL) and Van Demark (OT)
That’s 8 guys right there. Room for one more on the active roster, so another guy could make it as OL9.
Yeah, I'm just talking about using one pick on OL. I was mainly just adding a piece to the inventory you laid out.
CB, RB2, WR are my main priorities. They should take a flier on an edge, but I never liked this draft class at that position.

12 minutes ago, SCBills said:
Franklin, Walker, Baker as WR’s all make sense, along with TJ Tampa at CB and Mo Kamara at EDGE if they drop and/or Bills move up.
Will probably take a RB at some point tomorrow.
RB2 is more than an afterthought. They need a bruiser.
I'd still like to add OL depth. In general, I agree with your list.

I can see Kincaid having a breakout year, and we don't know what to expect out of Coleman. I wouldn't say zero.
I wouldn't either, but they need another plus talent in the WR room, imo, and I don't think it's in the draft.
Maybe Beane does have a post 6/1 trade lined up, I dunno.

The Bills have a type of player and that is a high character, high effort, smart football player. They have done this for years.
Look at all 3 guys they drafted. All have those qualities, all are team before themselves.
Coleman is a highly intelligent high effort WR who is a great leader
Carter- Only 3 year captain in Duke Football history. Relentless football player who never stops.
Bishop- Tough tackler for one of the toughest coaches in college football.
The Bills take more steak guys than sizzle. Is that the right philosophy I dont know but its their philosophy whether we like it or not
It gets you into the playoffs where you lose in the divisional round.

Cribbing from the other thread:
I'm not gonna be reasonable anymore. For a guy who talks about getting more explosive Beane gets:
- a plodding big slot WR
- an overdraft at a devalued position
- a no-traits defensive lineman to backup your best D player
That looks like a fail for an in-window reset. Minimal upside, and a failure to add the very thing you talked about adding to the roster - explosiveness.
This isn't about Franklin, this is about traits and value positions. I wouldn't have drafted anyone Beane did in the places he drafted them. Hopefully the fact that he gets paid millions of dollars to do this ***** means he'll be more correct, but I. Just. Hate. This. Day 2.
It's a baffling draft. They are still following a Carolina model. I don't like it. And you are correct, the rhetoric about explosive playmakers doesn't match up with their actions.

Know nothing about him but DT is a need. Is he more of a 1T or 3T?

This would not shock me in the least. RB2 is a sneaky need, we met with him at the Combine. and he's a perfect fit for what we need and 95 is around the area where I expect him to go. I'd be here for it.
Please stop talking about it. It's a jinx.

1 minute ago, MrEpsYtown said:
95 feels like classic Beane running back spot. Would be cool to get Franklin or Walker. The McCromick guy is interesting. TJ Tampa is a good scheme fit.
I was afraid to say it. Braelon Allen. We're building a bully. He's a hammer.

People need to explore the relationship they have with speed. Gabe was our home run hitter with 4.54. Diggs was highly effective with deeper routes early in his time here. Most people aren't flying by DB's at the NFL level. What is the playing speed? Coleman has elite physical skills. Size and vertical. He has playing speed. He's not a guy that is all legs when he runs. He has very nice agility in and out of his breaks. Nacua ran a 4.57, he's far more athletic than Nacua. The NFL isn't only about speed. Josh has never had a true contested catch monster like this. It's going to be a blast watching those two in the red zone.
So, he wasn't my guy, but now that he's the pick, I'm looking forward. I hope the positive interpretations are correct.
You can make a plausible case, but not everyone who was against the pick is a moron who just looked at the forty time.
Some of us watched a lot of youtube and podcasts and read numerous analyses.
Anyway, for certain, Coleman has basketball finesse to his game. That's not unimportant. It's what made a TE like Gates so effective. I want the fella to be good.
And for sure, he's built for bad weather and playoff football.

At 95 that's decent value.
I read some analyses that made me wary of him, but you know, if they take the fella, I'll hope he lives up to his potential.

4.57 for DeAndre Hopkins.
As long as he has good game speed, he'll be fine and fans will be thanking their lucly stars for his combination great hands and solid 6'4" frame.
Yeah, if Hopkins is the comp and it comes true, it's a home run.

When I watched his tape instead of reading reports and watching a single highlight video. That post was after my very first foray into the class. I spent an embarrassing amount of time watching tape of the top 8 or so guys.
Every true Bills' fan wants him to succeed. I hope you're right. It's clear they think he can be a boundary X, because I'm sure they don't want to take Kincaid off the field.

I think Keon is the Gabe replacement. They need a Diggs replacement. He isn't in the draft, but they have to try.
