Rebel, with what $ on Adams. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea if we had cap space. We need an established WR and also trade up in the draft. We basically have $10 mil. In June. That’s why I suggested OBJ as we don’t have to trade for him, amd he wouldn’t be that expensive.
Replace one prima donna with another?-

Justin Simmons, while I’m cautious in that idea, and say Aiyuk or Nabers would completely change the narrative going into this season.
That’s the interesting choice presented because doing something like this, would mean we have some holes at depth/rotational spots with late round rookies or JAG free agents.. which is something Beane hasn’t really been willing to do.
We don’t know how good Joe Brady may turn out to be, but obviously coaching definitely matters. Andy Reid got rid of T. Hill and was left with Kelce, has beens (MVS) and rookies. The KC offense had its struggles and the team relied more on the defense but when the playoffs came they could rely on Rice and the others to make enough plays to win it all again. Reid had them ready to play.As the OP stated, this team is mainly Josh Allen. He’s the only one teams have to game plan for. So, when you don’t have the marquee players, it comes down to coaching and scheming. Look at the Niners. They do have the weapons in Kittle, Aiyuk , McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, but Shanahan also figured out that you could have receivers running around all over behind the line of scrimmage so he used that to advantage. By season’s end, a couple of teams copied that approach but I don’t recall seeing the Bills try it once.
Good coaching comes up with ideas that the opposition isn’t prepared for. Then, when the opponents adjust, you try something else. This can make your team very successful, even with just very good players.

I think in a vacuum there are many trade downs I could get behind but not this year. There is no way in hell I want KC getting first crack at a WR
Just saw a mock on NFL.com by MJD where he has KC getting Worthy, who he refers to as Tyreke Hill 2.0. Ugh! -

I can't see Beane giving up capital to trade for a veteran WR. That is capital that could help us rise in the draft and get a young future star (one hopes).
My feeling is that after the cap purge they want some young players on cost-controlled contracts for a few years. So I don't see giving up a second for a 30-year-old guy who will want a chunk of money.
But I do see a trade up to the high teens or lows 20s (18-22ish) to secure a guy like Thomas.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread Shaw's post. He's suggesting that Beane gives up a good Bills vet to move up, not that we give up a pick to get a vet.
I don't see that, though. Do you want to take a chance by trading Dawkins? I don't think so. And who else is there to trade? Knox has too much dead money.
If they were going to do this trade of a vet, it should’ve been done before the start of the league year. You had , Poyer and Morse as assets to deal rather than just letting them go. Likely they tried but had little interest.After some thought, I also better understand trading Diggs now if they were going to deal him. With the WRs considered so highly for this draft, chances are most teams would’ve rather waited to see how the draft turned out and be less likely interested in dealing draft assets for Diggs and taking on his contract. Having found an interested team, and having to deal late round picks along with Diggs, Beane may have had to bend over backwards to get the Texans to accept a deal. There also may have not been any other serious teams.
Interesting also that the WR needy Giants, with ex-Bills at GM and head coach didn’t trade for Diggs.

He needs a SB as an important contributor.
Otherwise, how is he better than Hines Ward or DeAndre Hopkins? Larry Fitzgerald?
Maybe Andre Johnson level.
I believe Larry Fitzgerald could be a 1st ballot HOFer.-

Well stated. Rex is my least favourite Bills coach.
I did not like him but I’d put a few others ahead of him. John Rauch for not planning the offense around the Heisman Trophy winning RB OJ. Hank Bullough had a horrible record (4-17) and was in over his head. He also frequently had halftime leads followed by the team doing nothing in the 2nd half. Harvey Johnson had a horrible record (2-23) but he was always the interim coach after the head coach was fired. -

if so not for long, sadly for Diggs he has become injury prone over the last couple of seasons, and disappears in the post season, that’s not what one wants as a “ 1b” receiver, he will be a slot type of guy for one or two seasons then get likely gets waived/cut. Age is a SOB when you’re a pro athlete.
Unless you’re named LeBron James.

You can't always find a draft day partner that marries value and need for you. As you say the pecking order of 5-11 could all be off the board by the time #28 comes up in round 2.
BTW, did I miss something - last I checked we don't currently have a 3rd.
You are correct sir. Sent in Rasual Douglas trade. Expected a 3rd round compensation pick but it ended up a 4th.-

Wouldn't be the first College Basketball star to transition to the NFL...
Usually they end up at TE tho like Antonio Gates or Jimmy Graham or Tony Gonzalez...not sure I've ever heard of one becoming a left tackle before...
6'9" 275 lbs currently and his body is huge and could easily support 320+ lbs with likely little loss of mobility...
He has gotten the attention of NFL scouts, people in college personnel roles and GMs big time apparently with his performance at the tournament...dude looks like a ballerina in the low post.
Yeah, LeBron would make a heckuva tight end! -

Jets are going to be good.
The Jets sold their souls to win Super Bowl 3. They’ll be paying for it forever. Two years ago, Breece Hall got injured. Last year it was Rodgers. I expect injuries on their defense this year.-

Right.
And now it's likely to become a big story on ESPN, or at least to be trending on social media, and stoke a whole bunch of unnecessary and unproductive nonsense, time-wasting, and blood pressure raising. And for what?
When an immature troll/bully comes around -- even a mentally unstable one -- it's always best to just ignore them.
Yet, people on this board just continue to feed the trolls. -

clearly the economic strata of people who watch and are entertained by the NFL is massive and crosses all social economic boundaries
for reasons many already stated, I think this is a NFL billionaires money grab to profit off of our absolute LOYALTY as Bills fans. The deep pocketed ones can
pay these PSL's and not really blink. And yes the Most expensive fees are for the very Best seats. I get all that.
so we paupers will scrimp for our bucket list one time appearance inside the new crib by making that choice. I will do it. In a heart beat.
But asking people to buy a "License" for the "privilege" of being inside the stadium for season tickets?
I may be old school and cheap but to me that ain't right. at all. It's a pretty slickster move if you ask me.
And you can thank the late Al Davis for it. The Raiders started this PSL crap when they moved back to Oakland from LA.Then his son, Mr Bowl Haircut, leaves again to Vegas.

Greed and gambling will eventually be this and other league's undoing. The Ohtani story is going to blow up in ways we haven't foreseen.
Why would a working family prioritize a PSL over their kids education when the UFL offers something similar?
You also have the NILs, while it wasn’t right for schools to solely benefit from players, ruining college sports.-

We just need 1 of them for things to be scary. Combine one of them with Diggs, Samuel, Shakir, and Kincaid and that's a LOADED core. A second one would get buried in reps and barely see any touches. You don't spend a 2nd for such a small role with all the other holes we have.
Actually, 2 gives you a better chance of one being a good pro. -

The guy has always been a bit.......strange. Maybe he just doesn't want to buy a home because he doesn't want to deal with the CA property taxes. Newsome has turned that place into a circus. I know multiple people who've left the state because of how much he and the rest of the state legislature have done to ruin it in one way or another.
I’m still here. -
I voted Yes but went by the post title before looking at the details. I would trade the 2025 pick to get Harrison or Odunze, not for the other receivers. There’s enough of them that are similar that, Yes, it could be like trading up for Sammy when you could’ve just taken Mike Evans. #hindsight

And I've mentioned this a couple times before, but imagine if Minnesota had spent a boat load of picks to trade up to Draft a higher ranked prospect instead of staying put and taking the 5th WR off the board in Justin Jefferson.
It's no guarantee the higher rated prospect at any position in any class is going to end up the better NFL player. It's practically irresponsible to pay a King's Ransom for a "better" WR in a class that has (in my book) EIGHT WR's with a 1st Round grade.
How about trading said pick, along with others, to acquire a WR that has turned into a malcontent B****, when you could’ve stayed put and taken Jefferson?

In 1970, the Bills drafted an OT named Richard Cheek.-

Honestly, the Pats have a better case for contending in '24. Most of their games were close in '23. The Jets were beaten handily in most of their games. They looked terrible. Getting AR back will turn them into a top contender?
But neither of those teams are a threat. The AFC East is still Bills & Miami, and the Bills are better.
It will be so satisfying when, after all this buildup of the Jets and Dolphins, the Bills win the AFC East yet again.-

I'm all for it. They have made the offensive line weaker so far and I am scared of what would happen if this is the starting five and something were to happen to mcgovern.
They simply have to add a real center
We have no way of knowing how well McGovern can play center until preseason games, etc. There’s just as good of a chance that he’s very good as there is for a rookie who’s never played in the NFL. I’d count on the veteran. -

Agreed. Those day 3 picks will be valuable for moving up in Rd 2 though.
Say to jump ahead of Steelers, move from Pick 60 to Pick 50. Both Steelers and Bills have very similar positional needs: WR, Safety, Center
Trade lower picks for a 3rd. Right now, we’re looking at going 67 picks between our 2nd and the first 4th round pick.I hope Beane can control himself this year and not give up picks to move up a few spots for a guy he wants. I have some doubts and his track record hasn’t been good.

I have a feeling that, after signing Samuel, that they could go BPA in the first round, and take a WR with their 2nd or 4th pick.

Who will be the head scratcher pick(s) in the first round?
in The Stadium Wall

If Al Davis was still alive, the Raiders would take Worthy at pick 13.
