This should be fun. Mike Clay:

It's about right.

 

Kudos to Cincinnati for drafting Higgins, turning around the following season, staying true to their board, and drafting Chase.  

 

Chances are slim to none the powers that be here would have done the same.

Don’t forget tailgating. I know, them’s serious words, there! Oh, and wings of course. I bet those heathens have never even heard of beef on weck!!! 

 

It must be such a sad life. They need those trophies to sleep at night. 

 

Yep, I’m stickin’ with that!

What was it last year? It’s hilarious how much people loved Davis last year and now he’s a bum. 
 

pretty good list. Washington is too high. Chicago did a great job remaking a trash group. Jags could be higher.
 

Wonder how some bills fans will discount Mahomes if he does awesome wirh this group (Rice could be a stud).

Davis was nursing a foot injury all year that most people don't bring up or were in the know, but he didn't perform that well last year, as well.

I look at it this way.  Would you trade the bills receivers for the commanders broncos or bears receivers?  There are more too.  I get number two and three might be weaker than we want but I will take the bills group just for Diggs.  A few number twos does not outweigh one of the best in the league.

Hard to argue against the idea that the Bills are not in the top 10.  As much as I love Diggs he disappears at times. 


Yea I mean when your other options aren’t much of a threat it’s easy to quadruple team him.

Vegas top 10?  nah.

 

No way Ravens should be ahead of Bills.

You know, I’ve always said that we should have drafted DK Metcalf!

 

One does not take a DK Metcalf...when there is a Cody Ford still on the board.

I’m still struggling to understand how one’s bad ankle prevents his hands from catching perfectly thrown passes.

Of the four you mention I’d take the Commanders WR corps. I have the Bills comfortably second ahead of Denver and then Chicago. Diggs is the best WR on any of the four teams, but McLaurin is the second. And he’s very good. Washington has the advantage at WR2 and WR3. Dotson and Samuel are both better receivers than Davis and Harty is far behind all of them. Washington’s problem hasn't been their WRs, it’s been their QBs.

If anyone can be insulted it's the Jags. 

Agreed!! They have a nice WR room with Ridley back.

Diggs........a top end #3 in Gabe..........and a bunch of dudes WE like because we expect the upside........but in reality.......extremely low floors and even lower pedigrees.

 

Their ranking is fair, IMO.........they certainly wouldn't be in a top 20.   McBeane have let their fastball go to hell the past couple seasons.   

 

Hopefully Kincaid becomes good enough to make the actual "WR" room much less important.

With Diggs as a top 5ish number 1 and Gabe as a top halfish number 2, I have them higher than 20. They’re somewhere closer to 12-15 in my opinion. I haven’t done my own rankings but they feel closer to the middle of the league than the bottom 3rd. Again, it isn’t a huge gripe.

Gabe wasn't a top half WR2 last year, IMO.   What his counting stats giveth his terrible underlying metrics taketh away.  He hasn't even proven that he's cut out for WR2 at this point.      

 

He's a specialist like Marquez Valdes-Scantling.......... and when you go from a star in Diggs to a top-end specialist WR3 and then there is no WR4 at all.........that's two big holes in the middle of your WR corps.   With the abundance of talent added to the league by many strong recent WR drafts there aren't many teams with 2 holes like that in the top 4.

 

I am sure the Bills are counting on Allen elevating low pedigree nobodies like Shakir, Harty and Sherfield........and he might.........but for the purposes of ranking groups on sheer talent I think they rank in the 20's at this point.    I thought they had already fallen to that 12-15 range in 2021 when they still had Covid Beasley and Ol'manuel Sanders and that group was much more established than this one.   They had Gabe in that 3-4 range where he gets good matchups.    2020 they were a top 3 unit.

I agree with top 10 teams but I would probably have Seattle closer to 5th but still top 10. 

I would put Buffalo at 11 just ahead of the Jets. Diggs is still elite and Davis is very very good.

I would put Jets at 12.

I would bump Cleveland up to 16. Cooper is not elite but Peoples-Jones is very good.

Pittsburgh would be next. 

Jags and Baltimore seem high to me but looks like others on the board like the Jags

Don't understand the Davis hate on this board. 7TD and 17.5 YPC for almost 850 yards.  I get the drops are an issue but how much more do you want our of a #2 WR?

I love Gabe and I agree with you!  But I think the ankle excuse is weak.  He misses some catchable passes, but he’s also had a lot of inaccurate passes thrown his way. In short, I’m glad we have him and I think he’s a solid #2 (absolutely NO pun intended)!
