The Bills traded back 5 spots for 3 reasons 1) they accumulated 124 picks worth of value gained (gaining a 3rd for ex when they didnt have one, gaining additional 5th which became the bears 4th next year etc) 2) by not selecting a 1st round pick the bills saved $4 million in cap space on the rookie pay scale ($13.4 vs $9.5 max value aav) 3) the bills didn't have a 1st round grade on worthy and made the decision that even if they didn't trade with KC and hypothetically stayed put taking coleman at 28, worthy would still likely land with the chiefs at 32... as BB put it "you cant worry about what the other team is going to do." the Buffalo Bills made the best decisions for the Buffalo Bills, that's all there is too it...

Ай бұрын

I didn't follow Notre Dame much when he played there, but I'm still scratching my head on how he did so well there in particular, and regressed in work ethic in character the more time passed while he was in the league. It somewhat reminds me of Antonio Brown, minus the Burfet hit that many feel played at least somewhat of a factor. "If"... emphasis on the quotations...he can at least get close to matching his efforts and work ethic when he was successful in Pittsburgh, (which wasn't good, but was good enough, to allow success on the field)....I feel that Allen's style of play is the closest there is currently, to Ben's,...in regards to getting the ball out quick, or extending the play, (obviously Allen has the additional advantage of doing this with his legs), which "should" give him the best shot, out of any team in the league. Although obviously genetically gifted and talented, being a Steeler fan, watching him play, he needs a certain style of QB, or else those talents, (minus the other BS), are greatly diminished.

Chase need a season statement: a boom or bust moment, as the n1 WR. He can become the next Mc Laurin or being forgotten like so many before. In my mind, he didn't have a clear vision of his career from the beginning, and that's why he failed in the previous teams. Very lucky to get so many chances, i hope he'll understand that loud and clear.

I used similar words of "last best chance". He's walking into a situation where I have zero doubt he'd be WR4 at least if he shuts up, goes all out and plays nice with others. If he doesn't, McDermott won't care how talented he is And yes Keon Coleman is legitimately funny

Another Steeler fan here..honestly the best thing this dude ever did for us was allow us to fleece the Bears for the 32 for him..we used that pick on JPJ..so he gave us that..

dudes problem in the vikings situation isn't that he blamed his team , its that he didn't recognize you cant say that to the press whether tru or not, when they are looking for ammo don't give them anything. but his teammate definitely created the situation running to take the ball from him in a panic. but when you're at the podium you cant blame anyone regardless. they're going to torch you for it right or wrong

Thanks, Mike, for the content! Great take on this player, Chase Claypool, and following him through his career. Maybe he's matured, or maybe his new coaches and teammates will talk some sense into him! I hope he does well.

Claypool and Coleman are the most opposite type of people in the same reciever room lol

not sure what to think about this as a Bills fan

Antonio Brown put my Bucs over the top, helped us get a ring (along with another castoff from a different team: Leonard Fournette).

I already forgot he was on the Bears to start the season last year. What a year makes.

The fact that he said he was a top 5 receiver when he was on I Am Athlete is insane and says a lot .

I hope Chase levels out after everything he's been through. Side note I am not a Bills fan but Keon Coleman is becoming one of my favorite players with those interviews. I hope Coleman goes far

What has been missed over time is Ben Roethlisberger made average WRs into very good WRs. If they had special talent then he turned them into superstars. Sadly i think that could be the case for Chase, he has some abilities that can make him a decent WR but he has managed to burden his own talent with selfishness. This is an opportunity for him, Josh Allen might be enough of a similarity to the QB play that helped Chase in his early success. For what its worth I hope he finds a revitalization in Buffalo!

I really think Buffalo is a great landing spot for him. It's a small market. He can't get into too much trouble and he can just focus on football. Plus all of the guys hang out together so having Josh Allen keeping an eye on him will definitely help.

I'm surprised that Dallas didn't give him a shot 😅😂

This won’t end well- Claypool doesn’t have the grit to overcome adversity.

These anti-character additions never work out

My guess would be either McDermott contacted Tomlin or Tomlin contacted McDermott before the Bills signed Claypool. I hope he has matured and willing to focus just on football. In OTA's so far, Claypool has impressed, but it is just OTA's, playing with no pads.

this is one of the best wr rooms that Allens ever had

It is a good move: if he shows the willingness to block, and to be a starter, Buffalo keeps him. If not, they can let him go easily.

The Bills have a strong, everybody-does-their-part culture, which I believe Tomlin has built as well, so if he buys in, he will thrive, if not he won’t survive training camp, let alone make the roster. And if McDermott can’t turn him around then I doubt he would even make it in the CFL. Gabe Davis wasn’t the most athletic receiver, was maddeningly streaky and had a lot of drops, but he was an unselfish blocker which helped him stick around. Not betting on it, but wouldn’t it be great if Claypool bucks the trend and becomes the best version of himself.

Josh Allen bout to use the ish outta Mapletron!!

Keon Coleman just became my new fav wide receiver and I’m a cowboys fan

Ill be surprised if he makes opening day roster. Great move by buffalo providing they didn’t pay more than vet minimum..

Everybody's busting on the Bills for this move. Minimum risk for the potential reward. If he's got a redemption arc in him, awesome. If not, oh well, he's gone after one season. And let's not act like he's a WR1 or 2 or even 3. He's a WR4 with a couple catches per game. He makes a few good, significant catches this season, it's all gravy.

Bears gave up that 2nd because they didn’t want him going to Green Bay who offered them a 2nd and a 5th but Steelers knew they would get a higher pick with the bears. That’s the only stain on poles and that was because he was trying to help fields.
