Oh please...
Fearless? No.
Fearless would have been taking Coleman at 28 because you were convinced that he was the best wr of the group.
Fearless would have been drafting athletes with upside over safe, back up players with leadership qualities. And football players over the Gran Turismo guy.
The Pats attempted to move up to 32 from 34.
We opted to take the Panther offer at #33 instead.
Were the Pats going to take Coleman?
That seems to be the case.

Beane doesn't have the resume' to get the benefit of the doubt between fearless and reckless. KC owns him so far.

I remember the Bills signing an UDFA Arkansas TE and made him into a near-20 year starting left tackle. I keep the possibility door open for the British chappie. What he will probably be I have no idea, and neither does anyone else any more than the Bills coaches.

It's a great article from a credible writer who has been extremely critical of McD and the Bills lack of fearlessness in the past.
Dunne is as objective as they come.
He has been screaming for the Bills to go "all in" with Josh Allen, letting Josh be Josh.
The two moves that show they have done exactly that are getting rid of Diggs, and drafting Keon Coleman, Josh's pick of WR to draft.
The trade with KC was excellent value for Buffalo. A refusal to talk with them would have showed that the Chiefs were in their heads. I would have been disturbed if there was a report they turned down the trade.
Or worse, wouldn't answer the phone. Can you imagine if Brandon Beane had Brett Veach's number blocked?
KC is in many Buffalo fans' heads; that's OK. If they get in the GM or Head Coach's heads, that's a problem.

If they were fearless they’d have hired a HC who doesn’t repeatedly fail

Nah. There's way too many homers here already. We like people being realistic. And compared with the Eagles draft, Beane looks like a novice. This draft is, well, being as upbeat as I can, is underwhelming.
Others have suggested in the past, take Josh Allen away from the equation and Beane's drafting is highly suspect.
I suspect the Bills had Coleman and Leggette rated about the same. I suspect that was close to how most evaluators had them rated, it happens. Coleman is slow, Leggette is a one hit wonder. So what do you do in that case? Pass on extra picks to look "fearless"? Not following your criticism there.
The funny thing about your other comments is Beane is constantly being criticized for doing exactly what you say he didn't do this year. He's always picking the uber athletes instead of higher production/character guys. Sounds like he can't win.
Not really. The odds of a 3rd rounder becoming a quality NFL starter are about 16%. If you get a guy taking 40% of the snaps and doing a good job with them that's above average. I doubt Carter will be a total bust, probably a fairly useful player at a position we needed depth.
