The Chiefs should kick the tires on this guy...

Josh really played with a lot of scrubs his first two years…and my God, this 59 minutes was all scoring plays… you could easily put together another 59 minute highlight reel of Josh’s non-scoring plays…hell, you could put together a 59 minute highlight reel just of Josh owning the Dolphins.

Just like after we drafted JA17..."There is zero chance he can succeed in the NFL", "you can't improve accuracy", "I'm done with the Bills", etc...all said with absolute certainty...

Very nice. It seems that most of the commentary on Coleman is based on his one season of FSU tape, but what do people think about his Michigan State tape? Anyone know why he transferred?

Maybe the Jags really wanted BTJ at 23 and didn’t want to trade down…if that’s the case, Bills would have had to go much farther up..

Or the last game before the league issues its ruling on Rice’s appeal of the suspension.

Guys, this will only increase Rice’s “street cred” within the Chiefs’ organization.

I like Brian Thomas Jr a lot and I was hoping the Bills drafted him, but there were rumors about injuries and unspecified off-field issues that may have made him drop. In any event, he was not available when the Bills picked so they would have had to move up for him, probably into the late teens. It's impossible to criticize them for not making such a move when we have no idea what it would have cost or if it was even do-able. Yes, the Bears have been a poorly run franchise over the past 25 years, but this regime has only been around for 3 or 4 years. They got off to a rocky start, but they've made some very astute moves in the past couple year and could be a playoff team this year if it turns out Williams can play. They aren't nearly as bad an organization as the Browns, Jets, Panthers, Cardinals, Saints, Falcons, Broncos, etc...

The time to do that would have been two years ago...

The Bills acquired Claypool for nothing. If he's a locker room problem, they can cut him in an instant. Not so for a rookie WR drafted in the first round. Please tell me you understand the difference... Almost everything you just said about the Bears organization has to do with the previous regime. As for this regime, they swung and missed on Fields; big deal, at least they took a shot at QB with upside; I still think he can be a decent NFL QB. They robbed Carolina last year and ended up with a WR1, a starting left tackle and the first overall pick in this year's draft. I'm not a Caleb Williams fan either, but most consider him the most talented college QB in the past four or five years. We'll see how that turns out, but surely they didn't "reach". The Bears also came out of the draft with an absolute stud rookie WR for Williams to throw to. And the widely panned Montez Sweat trade has turned out really well. Sweat turned around their defense last year after the trade and the now have a young, premium edge rusher in exchange for a second round pick.

I can see the OP’s point, but this makes two years in a row that the Bills have used their first draft pick on a receiver. Are we really complaining about not double-dipping this year in round 3 or 4? (Last year we took Shorter in round 5.) I agree that this regime historically has short-changed the offense, but what did people want us to do differently the last two years? How do you know the Bills didn’t try to move up? (I suspect Thomas Jr was off their board because of injury and character concerns.) And what makes you think the Bears are badly run? Other than trading for Claypool two years ago, they’ve made a lot of strong moves…

Don’t count on it, even if the Bills go 7-10. With the level of chaos right now in Pegula-land, making wholesale changes in the Bills’ front office is far too heavy of a lift. And whatever you might think of Beane’s roster management, he’s at least a professional executive who gives off an air of competence, unlike the clowns who occupied that office before him.

I hereby nominate the “Would you get Tom Brady’s Autograph?” thread…

Another first round running back mistake. Teams just never learn. Pretty sure fifth year options on Gibbs and Robinson will be declined, as well. Not horrible players, but horrible draft picks. Inexcusable.

Someone please put this tread out of its misery

Please fix headline

The Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls during their “transition”, so no, there is no reason for diminished expectations as long as 17 is behind center…

But he did move to #33, so... I suppose Coleman was their guy, but if that's the case, why move down from 28? When KC called, did Beane ask them who they were going to take? And if so, how did he know that the teams drafting 29-31 weren't going to take him (SF, for example, ended up taking a different WR)? Did Carolina tell Beane who they were going to take at 32 if he made the trade?...I always wonder how much is known about who other teams are going to select and how it is known.

Hardly

“Everyone knows…”🤣🤣🤣🤣 There is zero evidence—and I mean zero—that Harrison Jr runs a faster 40 than Coleman, and I’ll also say that, like Coleman, MHJ is not really known for his separation…

So, no answer?

What was MHJ’s 40 time?

This is why MHJ did not run the 40 in Indy (or at his pro day). Even though his top speed is impressive, I believe his 40 time would have been comparable to Coleman’s…

I would have thought this was a pipe dream a week ago, but the Niners just drafted WRs with their 1st and 4th round picks…something must be up. I expect any deal would involve the second we got in the Diggs deal…Aiyuk is absolutely an elite talent.

All the same nonsense we heard when Josh Allen was drafted…
