Gregg Posted January 14 Posted January 14 How is this year's draft class when it comes to WR's. Is it a strong one or not. Hopefully Beane can find a good WR in this draft, but I say the same thing every year and up until now he hasn't found one. At least not a legit WR 1 or WR 2. 1 Quote
Man with No Name Posted January 14 Posted January 14 not gonna defend Beane, but what are we gonna get if we're picking between 29 and 32 again? 1 Quote
Mister Defense Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Yeah, I wanted Addison in the draft--a smaller, very fast, quick wideout who gets open. Josh has said those are the traits he wants most in a receiver. See: Beasley, Brown, Diggs... I was dumbfounded when the Bills actually drafted the exact opposite kind of player in Coleman! Made no sense, even though Allen said he wanted him too. I hope that McBeane do not stand firm in their philosophy they stated last year for players: BIG and fast. As the first quality would eliminate many many players who could really help take the offense to the next level. Like Addison, Flowers... Quote
Cash Posted January 14 Posted January 14 5 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: Revisit George Wilson Dennis the Menace has entered the chat. Seriously though, I agree with most of this post. Waddle isn’t a WR1 either, but I think he’s a better fit for us than Addison FWIW. DJ Moore might be gettable, especially if he doesn’t like the writing on the wall that Odunze’s gonna be the top target there. My only worry is that Moore is right about at the time where he starts dropping off as a player. MHJ I don’t see as viable - the GM would lose too much face trading him this offseason. Color me shocked if that happens. Garrett Wilson would be a great trade target for sure. He strikes me as a diva in waiting, but frankly so is every talented WR. And he’s got a great mix of youth and ability. With that said, I agree that the Jets are probably not trading him within the division. 1 Quote
Ray Stonada Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Garrett Wilson would be superb. Like Pickens without the insanity. Best of all is to build through the draft. Lots of great receivers are drafted later, but you need some luck... Quote

I would classify it as full of # 2 WRs in the NFL in the 1st and 2nd round with a couple of they hit their peak becoming bonafide # 1s 1 Quote
Charles Romes Posted January 14 Posted January 14 With Ladd and BTJ putting up Shakir like numbers it’s clear that entire vaunted WR class of ‘24 was drastically overvalued, so buyer beware as the ‘26 wr class hype begins. That weighs in favor of dealing for a proven commodity like Addison. 1 Quote

That's the pickle...do you mortgage draft picks to move up to get a guy you're sold on as a #1 type, or do you try and trade for a veteran who for that pick is really only a high end #2 at best? It's definitely not an ideal situation. Quote

You can find WR's in the later rounds. For example, the Bills selected Andre Reed with the 86th pick in the 4th round of 1985 draft. Look at what Andre turned out to be for Bills. 1 Quote

I love the GMs quote here, completely tone deaf. A lot of us are jerks more than 1% of the time. Even on those days we dont drive 140mph in a 55. He was incredibly lucky not to be spending his days working out with Henry Ruggs. Rather than learning his lesson he finds himself arrested at 3:46am, likely because of alcohol again. His talent isnt worth the headache. No thank you. Edited January 14 by thenorthremembers 1 Quote

They went to the extreme opposite which has helped with them having the top rushing attack due to the strong blocking from the WRs. Need to find that happy medium between bigger/physical receivers with smaller/faster ones. 1 Quote

Add in our 3rd round WR… Pierce, Shakir, Coleman, Cooks?, Rookie (Skyler Bell WR UConn) Cold Weather WRs…. Waddle, Addison I don’t think fit that mold IMO. The guy that won Bilitnekoff for best WR in the Nation at notoriously tropical environment in Pittsburg ? Had 1 good year, and one of the most monstrous seasons ever? That guy? Next......... ? Quote

Not a very deep class for wide receivers. Next year, the 2027 draft, will be a monster year for wideouts. We will need to pick up a veteran or 2 this year I believe. There should be some good ones available. 1 Quote
BillsShredder83 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 3 hours ago, FLFan said: I really like the idea. I think it is likely you would need an extension sooner than later, and depends on the price in trade obviously. Have you given any thought to what it might/should take? A late first round for him would not bother me. He is very likely better than anything they could get with that pick. Dude had another fairly petty arrest Sunday night for trespassing. Obviously not ideal, but with some creative thinking..... it is kinda ideal. His arrests are all fairly non-issues.... Vikes are tired of him, he needs a change of scenery and the arrests are going to make him INFINITELY cheaper. 1. Speeding. Was like 120 in 55mph. Dumb-dumb-dumb. However, was middle of night, empty thruway. Thakfully didnt hurt anyone, and isnt a football concern at the price he will cost. You have the best locker room in football? Fix this crazy skilled dummy. 2. DWI. This looks worse after the speeding thing, but again.... were talking athletes. Hes not Dahmer, Hernandez, or Darren Sharper. I dont care, neither should we. 3. Monday, he got told to leave a casino.... sounds like drunk disorderly kinda thing. Rang up 4 Trespassing 1 Quote
BillsShredder83 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 2 hours ago, ***** said: I’d think someone like Xavier Legette is more our speed. He was taken one pick before Coleman, and is basically their wr 3 after being outplayed by two other young guys. I could see a 5/6 round pick being enough to land him. he’s big, strong, fast and struggles to catch. Perfect Brady WR! 1. Legette, redneck Keon Coleman, for 5th or 6th 2. Absurdly talented Addison, for 5th & 6th. Maybe a 4th HMMMMMMMM which should we do 🙄 1 hour ago, Gregg said: How is this year's draft class when it comes to WR's. Is it a strong one or not.

The upper echelon doesnt really hold up against the above average classes. Guys are likely going to get over-drafted as they take a shot and hope they can develop a guy 1 Quote

Einstein's Dog Posted January 14 Posted January 14 6 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: I am not against getting Waddle, however, he isn't a WR1 himself either. I think him and Addision are kind of in that same zone of poor mans WR1, but top end WR2. The thing about our offense though (which could change if Brady leaves via HC job or replaced), is it doesn't need a true WR1 for what we run, so a Waddle or Addison would be valuable upgrades here still. So I am pro getting either of them. Big Fish Targets - I agree an AJ Brown or Justin Jefferson seems like potential guys that might be getable this offseason for different reasons. I am all for making a push for one if there is even a chance they could be traded. Other names I would add to AJ, JJ, Waddle, and Addison that I would be interested in that may have some availability: Revisit George Wilson - long shot, especially within the division, but you never know how things change leading up to a draft. DJ Moore - With Odunze there and and Burden flashing to go along with a talented TE room and run game, he is an expensive cog that is under used in the offense. He would be a true WR1 here with Allen and I would put him HIGH on my target list if I am the Bills. MHJ - He hasn't been what was expected, and the Cards are a mess. Might benefit from a change of scenery and still has a lot of untapped potential. I can see the Cards moving him in what needs to be a rebuild anyway. I think you should add: *M Evans - tough to get out of Tampa but who knows. A little old and some injuries but has qualities that a good OC should be able to use. Easy guy to root for. *J Jennings - another tough guy, played through injury *B Aiyuk - good WR who seems out in SF. If Beane has a budget of around $20M there seem to be several options available to make a big upgrade. 1 Quote

NOT GOOD It's too late for this year but I really hope Beane can improve the WR group for 2026. If the upcoming draft is a weak one for WR's then Beane needs to find one with FA or a trade. He did it once before with Diggs. Quote

If they go WR in the 30s , I think a guy that would be on their radar is Germie Bernard from Alabama. Gets overshadowed by Ryan Williams not because he is lesser a receiver but is the steak more to Williams sizzle. Good intermediate route runner, excellent blocker, kind of guy the Bills I think would fall in love with as a person. Will he ever be a # 1 probably not but he’d be a solid 2 option for years Quote
