At least we aren’t the Browns ……….

"Investment" also invloves draft picks.  *Higgins was the 33rd pick.  Chase was selected 5th overall the following year.

 

There's a zero percent chance Beane drafts Higgins one year, then turns around and grabs Chase the following year.  The pick, almost certainly, would have been Surtain II.

 

They do not value the position like Cinci or Philly does or else they'd take more chances than they have over the years.  Trading a 3rd for 30 year old Amari Cooper isn't the same thing.  

 

They've had a very "moneyball" way of filling the position. 

 

*And Smith makes $7M more than Shakir AAV.  

Most of us would love for the Bills to draft more pass catchers. But it’s not like they don’t draft anyone. They got a starter in the 3 drafts before this year in Shakir, Kincaid, and Coleman.

 

The Bengals didn’t just drafted those two guys. They paid them high end market value to keep them. Not all teams would do that. I think they made a mistake by doing so and it’s showing on the field. 
 

Again, your original statement of Bills not investing in pass catchers is simply not true. They have invested plenty in that area. Have all those investments hit? That’s a different story.

And look at the impact they've had on their QB.

Definitely leading the league in biggest headache category.

 

If this season continues the way it has, Brown and Smith will definitely have a big impact on their QB.

A few decades back the Bills were just like the Browns are today.  (Hank Bullough era)  In those days, the Lions were the only team as bad as the Bills I think.  Times change it appears.
