Decent signing since they didn’t get anyone in the draft.

 

Lots of upside, been with bad QBs and orgs his whole career. Fast. Outside and slot ability.

 

Big fan of this.

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….

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.

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.

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

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.

I still want more wide receivers 

How many more?  And how many wrs you see getting jeresies on game day?

I see this as the analog of Chase Claypool last year. A talented athlete who hasn't been able to figure out the NFL game and has had questions about his attitude. I'm fine with it because he upgrades Shenault and Shavers but I don't have a ton of optimism.
