Beane going ham on those WGR guys and saying that "bitching about WR is the dumbest argument he's ever heard" and then immediately turning around and signing Elijah Moore is one of the funniest things that's ever happened.

As far as pure football: I like the signing. Moore had 500ish yards last year. He's a fast, functional NFL WR with separation ability, and is just 25 years old (somehow). I feel he rounds out our WR corps nicely.

Absolutely love it. The kid has real talent. Blessing to get somebody like that at this stage in April.

It’s straight up hypocritical. Just be real, the board didn’t fall the way you thought it would. Maybe he was frustrated they didn’t get a receiver too….

This means the bills now have four wr taken in the second round of the draft in their wr room.

I like it. I mean can't be worse than the production Cooper gave us right? 

 

I mean it can definitely be worse. I know everyone wants to blame bad QB play on Moore's lack of production, and I'm sure that's part of it, but he also plays small and does a poor job making himself an available target. Right now he's more an athlete trying to play football.

Welcome Elijah.  His wife must have liked Buffalo...  but then again, who doesn't???

 

Now we all need to work on Stephanie LaChance (Mitch Marner's wife) ......Josh and Hailee are key to this one.  Gotta get this young man on the Sabres.

Yea I like it. I think he gives you depth behind Shakir and he is versatile he can do some boundary stuff (although he isn't quite your pure outside vertical guy). I know he hasn't done it a ton in the league but he did some return stuff at Ole Miss too. So that gives him some ST value.

We're signing our own guy!!!

Wait what!?

WGR will spin this into a win for themselves.

 

”If we hadn’t have whined about a WR they’d never have signed him!”

[HOUSE]

I still want more wide receivers 

[Roundybout]

Woo hoo! I hoped this would happen. 
 

Im always for taking swings at young, former high draft picks. I was a big fan of us acquiring Corey Coleman a few years ago, even though that didn’t work, and I’m a big fan of this. 

[Mango]

It's fine. I'm optimistic. But I am hesitant if the impact. I'm not confident that we'll get much use out of him in the same way we didn't get any use out of Yeldon, Hines, Knox, Kincaid, Samuels, MVS etc.

 

We've struggled with some of these role player/definitive skill set types and getting them involved early/often.

 

Rooting for this one to be different but I am cautious.

Don't be selfish. Beane gave you one Moore. 

[BuffaloBillyG]

He's got some skill. I he does bring some nice speed. Good depth and an able spot starter should injury strike. 

 

I would hope Laviska rented and didn't purchase something.

WGR picking up the portion of the salary over the unrestricted free agent tender....😉

[Cheektowaga Chad]

I actually wonder if beanes out burst  was more a negotiation tactic, I wonder if they have lost players because the local radio and fan base was all about wr

 

 

Like if him going on radio saying they are cool at wr gets Moore to take 2 million less vs. Moore and his agent hearing all about how much of a need this is and not budging from 2 million more than what they would actually accept

[Logic]

Coleman
Palmer 

Shakir
Samuel
Moore

Shenault
Prather
Shavers

I think that's a reasonably well rounded, diverse top five, with the bottom three guys battling it out for an end-of-roster and special teams spot. Short of having a legitimate WR1, I like the group.

If Coleman looks like the guy he was in the first half of last season and Samuel looks like the guy he was in the final few weeks, it could be a very respectable group indeed.

Don't make me say it, but....okay okay, I'll say it...

The WR room quietly got better today.
