Buffalo Bills The Doldrums of the NFL Off-season have arrived

Coleman also outproduced most of the receivers taken around him on a per game basis (including Worthy). McConkey was the outlier in the late 1st/early 2nd, not the norm.
In the regular season Coleman/Worthy was a tossup. Worthy really showed up for the playoffs while Coleman was a complete non-factor. I'm not saying Coleman can't be a #2 WR in time, but he had a very disappointing rookie year given the role he was handed.
 
Some guys I'm looking out/hoping for tomorrow:

Dont'e Thornton WR Tennessee
Brashard Smith RB SMU
Jayson Blue RB Texas
Teddye Buchanan LB Cal
Danny Stutsman LB Oklahoma
Jack Kiser LB Notre Dame
Jamon Dumes-Johnson LB/Edge Kentucky
Jack Sawyer EDGE Ohio State
Deone Walker DT Kentucky
Cam Jackson DT Florida
Kitan Crawford S Nevada
Malachi Moore S Alabama
Zah Frazier CB UTSA

Would have loved Xavier Watts or Jalen Royals but don't think we get anywhere near either of them at this point.

I mean you have to start drafting some game changing talent if you want to actually help Josh out. That's what McConkey looks like. Coleman looks to be a WR3 contested catch guy who can't separate. You want much more from your top pick.

Eagles/Chiefs have been getting ballers on both sides every draft. Meanwhile we're still taking guys that need 3+ years to develop & the "book is still open on them"
Coleman could also be a YAC beast. He broke some long runs last year. The injury derailed the second half of the season for him. Jury's still out.

The Chiefs offense has been well below the Bills the past two seasons, so it's strange you bring them up. Their defense, however, is bette than the Bills, so I'd like to catch up in talent. Some of that is coaching, though.
 
Bills picks remaining tomorrow

4th 132
5h 169, 170, 173
6th 177, 206
7th 250

I would expect one deal with some of those 5ths/6ths to move up in the 4th if they can

This is also supposed to be a pretty strong UDFA class

I'm a bit surprised that Royals and Watts are still hanging around.

I also thought for sure that someone would have gambled on Sanders by now.....guess he really did turn a lot of people off with his interviews.
Sure seems that way. On talent alone he was gone 50 picks ago minimum. Seems like teams don’t want anything to do with the attitude and drama, and I’m mostly referring to Deion.

He's not a bad player. Just looks to be a solid WR. Not a gamechanging talent.

Rashee Rice was a gamechanger for the Chiefs last season as a rookie. Their 2nd round pick from last year. Had 262 yards in the playoffs. Coleman had 22 yards this playoffs.
 
I do worry a little about LB coming into this season. I'm not sure Milano ever got back to his normal self after coming back from injury, and I'm not sure Bernard is that guy either. And that's just the starters...if those two get banged up it could get ugly quick against good teams that can attack weaknesses.
Their LBs were a big part of their coverage woes last year. It would behoove them to add a journeyman veteran type to the mix if one is available. Banking on 2 of Bernard, Milano, and Williams having good and healthy seasons is playing with fire.

Rahsee Rice was a 2nd rounder in 2023. Worthy was the WR they selected last year.

For a while now, I've held that Kiser absolutely stands out as someone that McBeane would love.
 
Milroe to Seattle. Let him learn behind Darnold for a year or two. Could be a REAL nice pick for them.
I’m really starting to wonder if McCord goes ahead of Sanders. I still kind of want McCord, if we’re gonna take a flyer the way we did with Jake Delhomme. Let Josh mentor a Syracuse product into a dependable backup, it’s never bad to have one.

OK, real hypothetical time...

How far would he have to drop to consider drafting him to develop as Allen's understudy, with the potential to flip him for a pick in a few years? 5th round? 6th?

Smarter people than me have firmly stated that they want nothing to do with Sanders anywhere near Buffalo’s locker room under any circumstances, and it sure seems like the other 31 teams feel the same way about him. I’d rather draft the best punter available and I’m not kidding.
 
Epenesa had more impressive college tape than Jackson. He absolutely bullied offensive linemen in college. I still think it was a huge mistake when the Bills asked him to cut 20lbs and change his body type, I felt like he lost a lot of power in his rushes.


AJ is an edge rusher and TJ is a DT. He was ranked at #29 in the athletic score among Edge rushers where TJ was ranked 6th. TJ also played against better competition than AJ.

I think AJ is underrated a bit because of his lack of pass rush. You might be right about him losing weight costing him. Hes not a sexy player.

TJ is what we need as far as a pass rush though. I wanted a true 1-tech. I didn’t like this pick, especially with the trade down for him. But I watched his film. I listened to some reviews on him. He’s really grown on me after watching his film. Take a look at it. I still don’t LOVE it. But, I gotta say I do like it. Especially when you factor in the rest of the pieces Beane has added at DL.
