How would you construct the 2024 Bills WR Room?


Recommended Posts

Trade our 2nd this year and  Minnesota's 2nd next year for Ayuik. Draft the best DL in Round 1. Draft a Safety in Round 3. In Round 4 look for a WR am sure someone good may fall yet not sure who so I take Cornelius Johnson, as he has been a target of mine since the draft season started.

 

WR1 Ayuik

WR2/RB3 Samuel

WR3 Shakir

WR4 Johnson

WR5 Hollins

WR6/KR/PR KJ Hamler

 

PS

Shorter

UDFA Troy Omeire

Tyrell Shavers

Is there anything more maddeningly consistent that the NOLA boys @Kirby Jackson and @NoSaint being in love with making can’t guard Michael Thomas a thing?

 

2019 was a long time ago. Dude was molasses then. Now he’s geriatric.


in my defense, I have not been on his bandwagon in a bit

No way to all this "let's do the Sammy thing again".  Beane HAS to somehow at the very least create a 3rd rd. pick...if nothing else.

He is gonna have to use future pick(s) to do it but, we need a good haul of a young core this year.

 

With a 3rd, we can use later rd. picks to move around...or to move around in the 2nd. We absolutely have to come up with at least one 3rd.

Here's what I would do with the WR room. Nothing major just add a couple of draft picks one high up and one in the mid-rounds. 

 

  1. Shakir (I think he's going to have to be the WR1 and I think he can handle it esp if Kincaid steps into a larger more impactful role)
  2. 1st Round WR (Brian Thomas Jr, AD Mitchell or any other good prospect likely to fall to pick 28 or within a short trade up)
  3. Samuel (dude is more of a slot machine type getting a WR high up allows the Bills offense to be flexible with Samuel playing him in the slot or outside when needed).
  4. Bench: Hollins, Shorter and a 5th round pick (not sure who is going to fall but a decent depth option with hopefully some return ability for Special Teams should be there in the 5th). 

I think a high draft prospect would help ease the pressure off of Shakir and Samuel and adding a mid-round pick assists the depth. I think the Bills should also strongly consider a top guard or center prospect at pick 60. Edwards at LG is decent but not inspiring. If Haynes or Bebe is there at pick 60 taking another "plug and play" type guard and moving Edwards to the 6th man role not only improves the offensive line starting 5 short and long term but also helps out the depth at a unit where depth is critical. 

 

I think another draft of going offense in the first two rounds is needed. Then with 7 of the remaining 9 selections build up the defense and select a RB and WR for depth on offense. McD as a brilliant defensive mind is going to have to learn to build up a defense with mid and late round picks. He's shown the ability to do so at corner (Taron, Benford, Dane Jackson and Levi Wallace all went 4th to 7th round or un-drafted and have all been productive) and at LB with Milano, now he has to do so with the defensive line and continue to do so with the secondary.

I think a huge addition to our WR success will be if Cook can catch the damn ball.

 

OK I admit it! This is a cry for help. All this is making me crazy. 3 more weeks! UGGH

MHJ

Samuel

Shakir

Tyler Boyd

Hollins

Shorter

 

I could see them doing that 


you have a franchise cornerstone to go with Allen.  Plus a mix of 3 players who are solid at WR 2-4


If Kincaid and Shakir take another step this year, we’re set.

why? We have almost no other real needs besides WR and plenty of cap space in future years to fill the roster

 

Enough playing games. Go get a stallion

 

this team badly BADLY needs an ELITE talent on offense.  Could you hit one at 28 or with a smaller trade up? & then again in Round 2 or 4?  Of course. You’d need a good amount of things to go your way.
 

It’s time to reel in MHJ, Nabers or Odunze

Hard to imagine that happening. 


I just imagined it 😎

 

28, 60, 2025 1st, 2nd, 2nd  for #4

 

expensive yes. Worth it? Very good chance

 

board meltdown?  100%

 

I do think there’s a much better chance we go after Nabers

 

he’s possibly there at #6

Josh said his name 1st

Schoen owes Beane a slight discount 

this of course assumes the Giants don’t want him and are willing to trade down 

(who knows!)

It seems clear 2024 is not the target year for the championship. Massive turnover on defense, complete makeover of the WR room, new DC, first full year for an OC, Dline overhaul, no reason to expect Miller or Milano to return to form in 2024.  Trading all of that draft capital for 2024 seems to make little sense. The more obvious answer seems to be building up the 2025 draft capital to make a move next year.

there's no way I'd give up 5 potential starting players for a top prospect at any position unless it was QB. I'd much rather we just draft 5 WRs and take our shot that one or more of them are good. It's not like top prospects are a sure thing. They bust all the time.

After June 1 when Tre savings kicks in:

 

 

1. Worthy pick 28

2. Legette pick 60 or RD 2 trade up

3. OBJ 

4. Samuel

5. Shakir 

6. Hollins 

 

TE - Kincaid, Knox

RB - Cook, Ty

 

 

Better then last year’s group

I think Legette is going in round 1 and there's the chance that someone jumps the bills to get him before 28. 

 

I think Mitchell Worthy and maybe Thomas slide, but I'm biased because they worry me (I don't want us to draft Mitchell or Worthy and im not totally sold on Thomas)

Take a flier on Michael Thomas on a one year prove it deal.  


I don’t hate it. He knows the offense and he has something to prove. He doesn’t stretch the field, but if he’s healthy he can ball.
