A guy like Diggs is the missing piece. Beane tried the whole "don't need a #1" thing, it hasn't worked.

Beane and McDermott both do a lot of PC talk about their guys. They’ll never call them out in public.

 

But Beane looking into (if not actively pursuing) Antonio Brown this off-season showed everyone they actually are looking for that #1 Stud WR.

Any internet tough guys who jumped on @Alphadawg7 earlier this season want to man up and give him his props? Yes Zay made the opening roster, but analysis was on point and he only made it through 4 weeks and 1 play. Good riddance Zay. I hope you had the time of your life. 

Give him props for what? He was wrong. How long of a grace period do you expect for “on the opening day roster?”

What the hell is this crap? Zay is a great guy who worked hard and did the best he could. 

He’s definitely not a good football player. I don’t want lousy football players, period. Nice guy maybe. Bad receiver.

Good kid, worked hard, great locker room presence, was proud to be a Bill. I wish Zay nothing but the best with Oakland (unless he's playing the Bills, of course). I hope the change of scenery does him good and he goes on to have a long career.

 

...and now we get to look forward to seeing what Duke can do for the team! I think this is a good move for everyone (Zay, Duke, Foster, the fans, and hopefully the team).

 

And I think the 2021 5th is a smart move by Beane. Zay obviously wasn't worth a 2020 5th or higher to any other team right now. And in next year's draft, we already have two 5th round picks and three 6th round picks. So, rather than take say a 6th or 7th round pick for next year, get a higher pick in 2021 and start building capital for that draft. We know how Beane likes to have assets in each draft, so he can move around.

Go through the history, people have been sending Zay out to pasture since shortly after his first few flailing attempts at a catch.

While this may be true, I think he also genuinely believed it to an extent. But as much as I like Brown and Beasley, they don't command double teams. It's why Josh has struggled, when the defense can play man to man and send 5 or 6 rushers it creates a pressure situation with very tight windows to throw into on top of it.

Have to consider they traded up in the 2nd round to pick him, the return is garbage.

So, just out of curiosity, how long are you gonna keep sayin the same thing over and over again?  Asking for a friend...

 

Go Bills!!!

Honestly, I couldn't.  I didn't think Zay would see the field again here as long as Duke does well and Foster comes back from injury, but I thought we would keep him as depth.

 

But then I never saw us cutting both Murphy and McCoy either, and no question our RB room has been thinner than we'd like. 

 

I hope Beane is planning to bring someone in, and I hope he's good.

I guess we should get used to it.  Good players who aren't needed get converted into draft picks.  Beane wants those picks.

A 5th for Zay is pretty good but in retrospect, the 5th is a terrible return on a player that the team traded up to get, bypassing JuJu Shuster Smith.  If McDermott made that call then damn....terrible waste of a draft pick 

 

It's impossible to nail every draft pick... Even Patriots miss.  Itll happen... But draft time Zay was clearly the better prospect than JuJu. His senior bowl elevated his draft stock cause he was catching everything. He never dropped anything in college... Unfortunately that was not the case at the next level. Kind of strange to see a strength turn into a weakness. I think that drop against Carolina killed his confidence and he never regained it.
