Reminds me too much of the McCargo pick back in 2006. The guy was viewed as a 3rd/4th rounder -- but leading up to the draft, suddenly his stock shot up. Of course, I have a great deal more faith in this current front office than I did in the one that oversaw that draft.
Somebody earlier mentioned Erik Flowers. He may not have been as much of a reach but Wade Phillips loved him and took him late in the first for some reason. -

Drafting two WR with first three picks is perfectly fine with me. Or using one of the picks to aquire a guy in a trade is fine as well.
Get an edge with the other pick and a safety early on day 3.
I'd be fine if they traded multiple day 3 picks to get back into the third round.
There is probably only 4-5 roster spots up for grabs at this point. 6 if you add another punter. 2 WR, Edge, S, CB and P. You can trade all the other picks away becuase they either aren't making the team or you can find a LB or CB in UDFA to play Teams.
Excuse me? Did you not notice all the guys under contract let go and the free agents that signed elsewhere?
There are only 28 players left from last season. There are a lot of holes to fill.

The ‘other’ team chimes in
So, Mr Pegula, why was Lindy bad enough to fire in 2013 but good enough to bring back in 2024? So, the hiring of the coaches responsible for this long playoff drought were mistakes, as was firing Ruff? -

I would have taken him as a backup over Trubisky.
Saw flashes him in (backup flashes - not starter).
Yeah, and against the Bills. The Bills lost to Darnold also. -

I think the bigger concern is effort and whether he is willing to take coaching. The rumors about Mitchell are concerning, but we don’t know if they are true. I trust that the Bills have done a ton of research on these receivers.
I don’t have the same confidence in front offices and scouting staffs as most. How could somebody talk to Jamarcus Russell and not realize he was an idiot who was happy just getting his first contract and then was “I’m good” -

FYI.. The NFL put a kabosh to that right after Greenbay did it.
Buttheads! Man, had I not grown up as a Bills fan, I think I’d stop being an NFL fan. Their greediness and attitudes are getting to be too much. -

I'll take 2 to go.
I saw an article recently about Worthy that claimed the chances are slim that he turns out like John Ross. He supposedly is a very good route runner with a lot of experience running various routes. Plus, you can’t coach speed.The main drawback of him seems to be his small, skinny frame. The best way to combat press coverage is to play a WR in the slot and/or have him on the move. We seem to already have a number of guys to play the slot in Samuel, Shakir and Isabella. They need a big guy.

The Bills were last valued at 3.7 Billion dollars so we only need to come up with 925 million
They should sell shares (like Green Bay) for like $100. The us Bills fans just need to buy 9.25M shares. Easy peasey.💸 💵 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

Beane traded away 150 targets under contract, and he has a plan.
The Bills will draft a WR with their first pick.
The Bills will pick a WR at 1.28, or move up to pick a WR.
They are not trading back to draft a WR. So they aren’t trading back.
What Beane does with picks in 4th and 5th rounds is how this draft will be remembered. Whatever Beane decides to do with these picks, they will have a MAJOR impact on this team for years to come.
Pick #60 can be BPA for DLine and defensive backfield.
Two more WRs picks in R4 and R5.
Hopefully he can trade a few of those picks to get a 3rd round pick.-

Yep. And Josh Allen and company is brokering the deal.
That is pretty funny with the name of the broker. I wonder if Diggs is part of the Company? -

I dont think Sunday ticket is something that can just renew. You pay x amount for the full season. It's not like a monthly subscription.
It used to auto renew with Directv. -
It was 7 years ago, but the Bills had the 10th pick in the 2017 draft and KC the 27th. To swap picks, it cost KC their 2018 first round pick and a 3rd.

His early years were just before my time, but wouldn't OJ qualify? Statistically, his 1st 3 yrs he was very mediocre (I think he was hurt for one of them).
No, OJ attained success with same team. It was unfortunate that the brilliant John Rauch decided he would make him a pass receiving RB. OJ should say thank you to Lou Saban when he sees him up in…oh, wait a minute… -

With all due respect…have you seen Beane in the first round? We are most likely trading up imo. We have the ammo to do it to get a stud to replace diggs
Yes, unless someone puts Beane in a straight jacket so he can’t get to his phone, he gets antsy waiting for picks and will even move up just a couple spots to get the guy he wants.-

lol…another 0% chance scenario. Every thread you’re giving away the farm to get every WR with no consideration for substantial amount of holes on this team.
There is absolutely no chance Beane is trading up TWICE in first 2 rounds for 2 WRs leaving us very little ammo to find the players we need in our secondary and DL as well. Not to mention another RB and OL depth we are likely going to use some of the day 3 picks on. And to do so in the deepest and richest WR draft in history is utterly insane.
To get into the mid teens, it’s probably going to cost us our first next year as well without having to gut some of our draft capital this year that we need. Everyone forgets the other team needs to want to move back to and be worth passing on the talent that will be there at OL, DL, CB, and even the WR for themselves.
I agree with you on the not trading up twice. Sure, they did it in 2018 to get Josh and Edmunds but they’re already without a 3rd. I also don’t see our defensive-minded head coach going for WRs with the 1st 2 picks without having that 3rd.IMO Curtis Samuel will overall be a better WR for this team. His versatility will allow them to do more things with him. Whether they move up for a B. Thomas or just stay put and get an A. Mitchell, they can wait until the 4th or beyond to grab a 2nd rookie. They can also still pick up a decent veteran free agent like DJ Chark to fill out the WR room.

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

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.-

Draft Night Surprises NOT Involving Buffalo
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Gotta take a shot, I guess. Recent history has shown that when several QBs are taken in the first round, only 2 at most end up being franchise guys.
That’s not great odds but teams need to take a risk.
