Beane is good at drafting after all -- A look at 2022
boater replied to boater's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm hopeful the 2023 class has a good season this year, hopefully three starters emerge. More likely we will get two starters and one reliable depth piece. I can live with that. I expect a good season from a Kincaid who has recovered from injuries. But I'm an optimistic homer, so there is that. I agree. I would grade a 2023 that yielded two starters as a B+ ..not spectacular, but would put the Bills at the 75 percentile of drafting. I think the gold standard of Front Office's is Baltimore. I thought it was all Ozzie Newsome's handiwork, but they continued excellence after he left. -

You are correct, I was fooled by this: “Brandon Beane, the Buffalo Bills' General Manager, drafted Dion Dawkins in the second round (63rd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft, according to the Bills Wire. He was selected after a former Bills defensive back, Bryan Scott,announced the pick” I don’t think we’ll ever know exactly what happened in that first draft, weeks before Beane officially became GM. -

That's doing his job well. A game changer is able to make a play all on his own that completely changes the course of the game. Interceptions would be the big thing for CBs there. To that point, Derek Stingley Jr has averaged 5 INTs/year. Benford has 5 total career INTs. Benford is a solid pick, especially in round 5. And I love him on the Bills, dont get me wrong. But he isnt that home run talent I'm talking about. And yes, I'm being very tight and stingy with my rating. -
Titans QB Will Levis ruled out for the 2025 season

Waiving the BS flag. Sure he might need surgery, or it could have healed all this time without surgery. I feel this is an agreement between the two, you go on IR and we will release you next offseason instead of trading you. -

I think most of us fail to realize consistently the impact we can make on the lives of others. What might be an off handed comment just may stick with someone for years, for better or worse. It sounds like your teacher had a gift for encouraging others. Giving encouragement and positive support costs us nothing, but can be invaluable to others and last far longer than expected. I remember passing comments from decades ago that still give me a good feeling. -

Small point of technical order: you’re conflating regular season misses with training camp perfection…go back and check the tape—NP was a Thursday All-American in camp!! He legit won the starting job Josh’s rookie season featuring AJ McCarron rounding out the QB room that year…not to mention how awesome NP looked during preseason. We were all stunned by what happened when the games counted. But Nate was tossing dimes before that 👀😅. -

That's fine and fair. Not a Beane pick. If you want to credit McD for that, go ahead. But he was using Whaley's scouting. I'd argue that while Beane is a much better Executive at GM overall, Whaley and crew were better scouts/talent evaluators. Whaley got stuck with a carousel of Head Coaches and (especially) Defensive Coordinators always changing schemes, yet always found guys to fit in. Dawkins wasnt a Beane pick either. -

Opposing DB's on the Titans schedule are all saddened by this news. They could have boosted their stock if he somehow saw the field.

They're still racing out at the Trestles But that blood it never burned in her veins Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview And a style she's trying to maintain Well if she wants to see me You can tell her that I'm easily found Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town There's a darkness on the edge of town

The thing I dont get about these throwbacks is some of them are just terrible and nobody is looking to buy and walk around a bee jersey. -

For Benford, fewest coverage yards snap is more than nice. Dont know what you are asking for if you think hes just "nice" and not a game changer. -

Don’t forget Dion Dawkins or Spencer Brown, bookend tackles who are pretty darn good. People ignore them because they don’t catch or carry the ball or make splash play on defense, but they count too!
