I always enjoy these little looks inside the draft room. Coleman is for sure a guy we will all gravitate towards and although I hated taking Carter so early over Franklin and Walker, he seems like a smart fit personality wise. Bishop was all about his former teammate Kincaid. Feel like every other sentence was something about “Dalton” lol. Feel bad for Joe Brady strolling over to Beane all passively asking for some speed, I feel you brother lol

⬆️ Let me guess. Is just fine with federal prosecutors lying to a federal judge. Get Trump or bust!

i was honestly shocked when we didn't score against kc at the end of the game. it almost feels inevitable with josh. this stat is not surprising at all.

So we have our two locks in Shakir and Samuel, leaving some pretty good depth for rack and stack. Hollins hasn't had much stability at the QB position and even after that circus his production is undeniable. Signing Claypool was a huge gamble as he has been a known problem now for three different teams but his talent is WR1 like when in the right head space. Cephus is in the same boat as Claypool and has an opportunity to prove himself. Hamler is a sneaky good stash that Beane still has in his back pocket. Shorter hasn't even gotten to prove what he brings to the table. As of now, that's a REALLY good pool of risks we are working with to find needed depth at WR... and as you mentioned, we have the ability to trade for a top WR if needed. Beane is a genius... sure he most likely overpaid for Von, but his overall record as GM is brilliant.

Ha ha, this judge is obviously being paid off by trump. TDS look at this as a win. When trump loses the election he will still face the music.

He knew he wasn't getting that job, so he chose not to interview as a token. Good for him. That's hardly "sticking it to them"...

East Lansing isn't the best winter destination, to be honest... it may be a college town, but it's still Mish**igan. Travis also now plays for the Jests, making the rivalry a bit more spicy. I expect some great back and forth ribbing between the two.

She prefers bowling where the black ball hits the white ones with the red necks.

So why did you bring out your shovel to help then?

It's working though... representation of minorities in the HC ranks has increased since it was implemented.

There are plenty of examples, though they don't tend to last long. For example, Adam Gase was clearly unhappy when Mike Maccagnan was making picks during the first year Gase was with the Jets and Gase got Woody Johnson to fired Maccagnan almost immediately afterwards. The same with Rex Ryan and Mike Idzik before them. Idzik wanted to rebuild and Ryan wanted to pick for need and eventually Idzik was fired.

I’ haven’t seen anyone here suggesting McDermott has evaluated 120:guys on their board… I tell you who he has evaluated though in detail…. Coleman, Bishop, Carter, Davis, SPVG … and probably a number of others …

I don't want to straight-face you Race or chase you, track or trace you Or disgrace you or displace you Or define you or confine you All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you

So there are some dysfunctional teams. The Bills are not one (though for a long time they were). But the process as it works in functional organisations is that they have clear specifications of the types of person they want and the types of player they want at each spot and everyone from the area scouts up understands the schemes that the team runs and what that means for the skillsets of the players they need. The scouts and the senior personnel people do the evaluations over the course of the season, the GM and his top assistants use that to build a board. In the spring they involve the coaches in meetings at the Combine and 30 visits etc and then give them special projects to look at (particularly if there is a question about a player's fit or they have little clusters of players at a spot similarly graded). Then they use all the info they gather through the spring to make any adjustments they need to their board (from interviews, from coaches projects, from medicals etc). Then the GM uses the board on draft day to make the picks. That is the collaborative type of process most teams use. I've long believed that the Bills veer towards the smaller side on board size. More in the 100 to 120 space than the 150 plus space, just based on how they act in the draft. So as for the "McDermott pre-approves everyone they pick" in a sense if they make the draft board then everyone at the top of the organisation has approved them as a potential selection by the Buffalo Bills. But in the other sense the idea that he has personally evaluated all 100 to 120 guys on their board in the level of detail to govern their choices is for the birds. That's why he wanted the man he trusts as the GM. Because he knows he can't do that.

You tell me …I’m only interested in what Beane and McD are doing …

Only the best and brightest for the FBI.

His defenses in Buffalo '64 and '65 were stellar. In fairness, when he took over as Head Coach in 1966, the Bills were on the decline. After the loss to the Chiefs in the 1966 AFL Championship, the Bills won four games in "67, and only one game in '68, which is how they got OJ.

Please enlighten me with what NFL GMs you believe pick players they don’t think the HC wants.
