I’m with many here - if they like him, ok in the 2nd, but still not what I would do. I just don’t see him as a receiver worth even a late 1st. I don’t think adding Coleman gets the Bills any more wins than they would get without him. I’d go a bit higher than “situational pieces”. I think there are several more who have potential to be solid or better starters. Let's revisit the games last year that the Bills lost because of dropped passes at crucial times or not being on same page as QB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have put the Bills superbowl hopes in a coffin and buried it, but I think we are going to actually surprise folks this year. It seems that way but we still have the forth or fifth best odds to win the Super Bowl depending on the Sportsbook. I'm not sure if you can surprise people at those odds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the Texans are much better than us according to them. 8 hours ago, Solomon Grundy said: Let's revisit the games last year that the Bills lost because of dropped passes at crucial times or not being on same page as QB.

My head canon is they didn’t expect him to be available at first until hearing he may slide to their range and so did that zoom with him at the last minute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) 18 hours ago, Virgil said: I think teams knowing the Bills need a WR might make the Bills need to be erratic and trade up just to catch people off guard. Right now, the Bills have a bright neon sign over them that screams "drafting a receiver" When reviewing tape, I look at how a player separates off the line and how they catch the ball with their hands. I also only really watch highlights against ranked team. In college, getting open or catching a deep ball means nothing to me. That receiver could be playing against a nobody. Agreed. Which is a huge reason I really hope it isn’t Coleman. He can’t separate vs college guys how is he going to do it in the pros? Also what has Beane said in the past about the combine? It doesn’t matter to him as much as film does which is why Franklin is still likely high up on their list .

LEBills Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Gonna be in Buffalo on Monday. Was the CFLs most outstanding rookie last year. Never played college ball but had a great year in the CFL and a good week of practice at the Shrine Bowl. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that he’s played for 2 leagues, yet isn’t seen as an UFA, free to sign with anyone. What’s the difference between his situation and someone like Cam Wake? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake entered the NFL draft (or at least signed with an NFL team) before ending up in the CFL, so no need to enter the draft again. Stiggers never went through the draft process and I believe is one year away from being able to enter the league as a free agent. Not 100% positive on that though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Foothills Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 On 3/29/2024 at 2:56 PM, Dr. Who said: Devonshire is a CB, no? Devonshire is a county in the UK known for its dairy products. Hard pass. Interesting that in this topic, no one has broached trading one of next year's 2nd rounders for a 3rd rounder this year. I think the Bills will do well to stand pat at #28 but I'm pretty sure everyone will regret not having a 3rd rounder this year... thus trading one of next year's 2nd rounders. Assuming a 3rd rounder this year nets us a starter, I think it's more important to have that pick this year than next year because of the Josh Allen Window.

My main interest at the top of the draft is WR. For me, a second is probably involved in a big trade up or staying at #28 and moving up from #60 to the early second to double dip at receiver. If the right players are there, i would do it. I like the big 3 and Thomas as trade up in the first candidates. Mitchell and McConkey are next on my list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't get to Burrow or Mahomes and cover on the back end,it won't matter. Take another guy in the 4th or 5th to bring to camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that a pass rusher is of the utmost importance, I just don’t see how you get one in this draft if they go WR in the first. Once you get past Dallas Turner, Jared Verse, Latu and Chop Robinson the pickings are pretty slim for a true DE (there are some 3-4 OLBs, but they don’t help Buffalo). By pick 60, your looking at Austin Booker, Braden Trice and Adisa Isaac - Booker and Isaac have some pass rush potential, but probably need to add considerable muscle before being ready to contribute. I can imagine them liking Trice with his high-effort approach, but it’s possible all 3 of them are gone by 60 as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
