I love the fact we have Ray Davis. Someone who can run between the tackles. Hopefully Cook and Davis will be a tandem.

Mr. Ray Davis, I’m not sure if you will be able to read this post but your story as shared by Mr. Marino is so very touching. Mr. Ray Davis you now have the support of the craziest and most loving fans in all professional sports. Mr. Ray Davis we are the Bills Maffia. We will support you like no other group of fans anywhere. We may not all be able to hug you when you first come on the field for your first game as a Buffalo Bill. But I can assure you I will be cheering you on along with the entire Bills Maffia. There is no bigger family than what the Bills Maffia is. Through thick or thin, the Bills Maffia has your back. Mr Ray Davis welcome to Buffalo.

Ray Davis around 5:40 time stamp when we listen to Joe marino list the accomplishments of ray davis " it can truly said Ray is Diamond in the rough hes extremely fast hes not afraid to run up the middle but Davis can really get defensive players Twisted up he plays the postion how it supposed to be played 💯 mile an hour one hand off at a time Dynamic counter running back Davis/cook 🔥🔥🔥

A role player,not a top pro rb,more of a journey man

[@quinnjackson9252]

Despite the haters freaking out, I think that Bean has done a fantastic job this offseason. Rather than worry about narratives and storylines and pleasing fans, he did what is best for the team. He bit the bullet and got rid of a bunch of players that were either too costly or not quite what we need, and cleverly traded down to fill in most of the holes in this roster. Imagine if we had given up all of our picks for a top 10 pick... our roster would be empty! Josh Allen would have a nice toy, but that's it- gaping holes throughout the roster. Now, we don't have that fun toy for Allen, but he has enough support to do some damage!!! Let's go Buffalo!!!

[@jcZo23]

9 wins roster & the WR room is bottom 5 🗑 whole lot of irrelevant picks to the bum defense again tho, imagine that.. let far superior talent go to other teams & draft Coleman smh 🗑

Ray Davis is like my first car; he’ll get you through a good 3-4 years, a bit older but reliable, solid condition, but eventually there will be a problem you don’t wanna fix and you’re gonna get a newer car

[@mikep3813]

And has no trade in value

[@Rob-cw9jr]

Last year Kincaid and OCT were into their 23rd year and I will mention that they both seemed able to withstand the physicality of the NFL. There isn't a correlation in the recent 5 draft years with age when drafted, that I can see, but I didn't look at this across all the teams, just the Bills. I am hoping Coleman, who is advertised as a physical contested catch winner, can also hold up as his body fills in (he'll be 21 in 3 weeks). And if he can in his rook year, we will have an absolute beast on our hand for years to come.

[@David-uh8bx]

7 draft picks on day 3 and no WR among them. Josh still needs more help. Let’s hope that the Bills can pick up someone in free agency. Go Bills!

[@nanccees925]

Not at all what I expected to hear about Ray Davis. Tapes don’t lie. He’s a workhorse, ultra motivated and READY!!! He’s come too far to be average. I can’t wait to see him play🏈. Run Ray run (and catch 😉)

[@chap102401]

Love the Ray Davis pick, I think he is a between the tackle bowling ball with receiving versatility and is a 1 contract player. Love VPG, I think he has a serious chance to be a quality starting Center. I like Fo Sho, he gives us a athletic, smart, fast LB who can give us a Special Teamer who can back up LB effectively, unlike Matokevich who was an impact Special teamer that you couldn't play at LB. Don't have the talent to have Special Teams only players.

[@lukezbytek]

One of Beane’s most well rounded drafts in my opinion. Very optimistic about the class, Go Bills!

[@jcZo23]

Draft full of mid, their most desperate need hasn't been filled in anyway & they still have a bottom 5 WR room, besides the S they're all mid.. this is a 9 win roster

[@Ray-dl5mp]

People love to say bottom 5 wr room. That’s going to be written online everywhere isn’t it. They have 2 very productive receivers and 1 promising rookie and a top tier catching tight end. Hard to know how good this catching unit can be. Plus look at the chiefs and patriot superbowl teams. Most of those receiver rooms were mid at best.

[@Pierre-Van-Gogh]

⁠​⁠@@jcZo23the smartest people in tje sports world (Vegas oddsmakers) have the Bills tied for fourth favorite for the SB after the draft. Above the Eagles. Favorites to win the AFC east and tied for third to win the AFC.

[@Deandre-gq6mg]

Don't worryabout the mileage for ray davis, he's should be playing peak football for the entire rookie season. Probably won't resign him but he'll be great while he is here

[@josgood5412]

Agreed. Typically these rookies seem to hit a wall around week 12 or 13 which is representative of the length of the CFB season. Sharing duties with Cook instead of getting a ton of touches should keep him fresh all season since he’s used to high volume in a shorter season.

[@Rick081808]

Joe do a full breakdown on Keon his ctc % contested catch % which is his strength is 33.3% lower then pretty much every wr in the draft 🤦🏼

[@cope847]

Really outside of the big question marks and general skepticism I have with Coleman and not grabbing another WR somewhere, I have no issues with this draft. They grabbed some depth and guys with potential. It's not a lot of sexy picks. In the eyes of most this draft will rest on whatever Coleman winds up being. I hope he proves me and all other skeptics wrong.

[@ronyantz7349]

Ray Davis reminds me of Thum34!

[@bflo1000]

Different type of RB.

[@ronaldringler1497]

Ah, Buffalo took my advice and signed Keaton Bills. Perfect name!

[@sadathebeishy3194]

Go bills

[@TOctavius]

Would have liked a true stud number one 'X' receiver however, I think Beane has added some solid depth/rotation pieces at a decent value. Is a super stud number one receiver necessary to win in today's game? Maybe. With Josh Allen at QB I'm not sweating too much...Gonna be a lot of Brady scheming guys open but I'll take that for a year and then maybe make a big splash next year for a true X. Also don't forget we have Dalton K. He can really open things up for all the wideouts with his position and skill set. GO BILLS

[@davidsoria7701]

I heard a spot back,ranked 8- 10 by most and will pan out to a situational rb,a role player.

[@johnmarlow7959]

Rather have picks that give us playoffs, and IN playoffs, it's anyone's game. So happy since 2017 when our Bills were the laughing stock of the nation, and now top 5 teams in nfl, the draft tells you that.

[@davideberhardt4977]

A lot of people are failing to realize that the Bill's salary cap situation dictated their draft picks by round

[@rondobe8800]

Let's step back and look at the huge picture here . The worst Bills( 2024) draft in history shows why Beene and McD have got to be gone forever. Not to say they screwed the Mafia alone. Pegula is looking for a powerless partner. Stadium ticket prices in a non- dome are being rejected by the more stable business class. pegula team dumps on a high priced but elite Diggs salary. Then they go and volunteeraly close the door on accessable premium receivers every NFL fan knew we needed (What a slap in the face to the fan/taxpayers here. What's Pegula doing with all this ? It's all about the Benjamin's and him selling off the team. Knowing his family is looking at his health problems and age issues it sure looks like we where sold out by another Trump- like traitor . Does the stadium suite prices increase at the same percent ? Sure would like to know. He guaranteed no Superbowl for did you know one of his picks never played football before ? The sooner Pegula's leave the better We didn't need a bunch o f bargain basement players.

[@josgood5412]

We saved a few million by moving back one pick into the 2nd round. Every million saved is a big deal for the Bills right now.

[@josgood5412]

Next offseason will be interesting. I think we will have over $50 million to work with. Pair that with not having a $30+ million dead cap hit like we did with Diggs this year and there will be room to make moves if we want.

[@user-ox2on5dy4d]

My thing is why give kc a weapon like Xavier Worth

[@8gomerpyle22]

I would say that Cole Bishop is a 10 year starter and SVPPringle will be one of the best buffalo picks in the past 5 years. Keon Coleman will under-perform and slowly work his way out of the NFL, OR he will be a legit All Pro.

[@Miniath]

I am honestly quickly falling for this draft, feel like we got rosterable players with paths to success that just make sense. i love loading up on linebackeres, strengthening the offensive line and adding key pieces to the defense where you wanted youth. theres a real boatload of pressure on Keon Coleman which is definitely a gamble, but feel like every pick just made sense this year its hard to complain.

[@Deandre-gq6mg]

Weird comparison but, This draft class is like a 2A WR. You like what you have, but you feel like there were better options on the field. It's like almost every pick was the alternate choice for what you could have got. This probably doesn't make sense. Basically i don't love every draft pick, but i LIKE every draft pick. B/B+

[@00thacoocaloot15]

I feel we have depth in all area’s let’s go get a BOWL.. on more WR 😅 DBO

[@mjgasiecki]

I feel like offensive lineman are very difficult to draft…how many top 10 lineman have flames out or turned out average over the last decade?

I say this to people they say I'm crazy, Lineman should be trade picks not players selected in draft because of the percentage of success in pros

[@whyis_hehere6638]

Joe idk if your gonna see this but ive been thinking about the keon coleman pick ( probably way too much) and I think the bills want him to be their Michael Thomas.

As bills fan, a running back's life span in NFL is already short lived, so why would you draft the oldest back, even if he turns out to be pretty good, you're not getting much time having him

@@drew5700 Do you want a really good RB for 4 years or pick or an average one for 4 years and then probably not re-sign? That's the guy they liked. I get what you're saying but chances are you're not finding a RB worth giving a big 2nd contract to in the 4th round. We needed someone to spell Cook and take some short yardage carries away from Allen so we don't beat him up for nothing. He should solve this. A RB is a dime a dozen

[@drew5700]

@@billsfever you actually made my point, a running back is a dime a dozen, so why get the oldest one, would rather have a younger guy, they're a dime a dozen but if he turns out to be a great player, then dime a dozen theory is irrelevant, pretty sure they're not drafting a guy and expecting only 5 good years out of him, if so that's a bad methodology

They're taking a step back

[@Brancononordeste]

Need a new Coach and GM for sure.

[@quinnjackson9252]

I disagree on a couple of things but get where you are coming from. If we had given up everything for a top 10 wide receiver, then we would have been in big trouble. There was more to the Diggs trade than him being unhappy- he is also an expensive, aging player. Better to trade him for a second round pick and use that to trade up next year for a good WR than to give up everything, have a new toy for Allen, but sacrifice the rest of the roster. Sure, this won't be the best offense Allen has ever been a part of, but he will make it work. Our defense is looking juicy to me, so I am excited to see what it can do. Our offense is developing, which I think will be competitive this year, and fantastic next year. Remember, almost everyone left on our roster is locked in for at least two more years, so we have some time to fill it with elite talent. Our offense is also very good underneath- a few solid runningbacks plus Josh Allen, a couple of great tight ends, and some nice slot receivers. I say that we should sign Odell Beckham Jr for a year, and that would put us in the top 10 offense range. As long as we have big daddy Josh Allen running the offense, it will be competitive. Yeah, it is a step back, but sometimes you need to take a step back to regain your balance, and then from there you can take two steps forward. Go Bills!!

[@MightyHorse01]

They definitely covet the high character over pure talent. I wouldnt call JA17 soft though, i do think they are actively trying to keep big/overwhelming personalities out of that offense to help push Josh be the unquestioned leader 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BillsMafiaExperience]

I do NOT agree with this nonsense spread from the biased mainstream sports media about "bottom 5 receiver roon" smh. Effing nonsense. They're average overall not including Kincaid.

Listen Coleman was the guy I wanted he can be a boldin or megatron the guy from Washington is a guy who can catch a short ball and turn it upfield shakir is a speed demon Kincaid is a huge threat I and Knox if he learns how to body catch is a threat to I think they got guys more tailored for Josh I don’t see what everyone is complaining about plus a one two punch in the back field and both guys can catch good job bean
