    Not addressing WR depth and our IOL being two “we hope they’re good” guys and then Ford/Quessenberry/Mancz being the healthy depth has probably skewed my initial reaction of a guy I’ve never heard of.  
     

    His tape is pretty filthy.  Beane wanted to get faster on defense and this linebacker is decisive, explosive and fast.  
     

    What we do with him.. no idea.  But his tape is intriguing. 

     

    Yeah, in terms of “needs” I’m un-enthused so far.  But we’ll see.

    stockpiling 1st round busts!

     

    Snap!

     

    I wouldn’t call Baker Mayfield a bust though.  I think he’s a capable NFL-quality QB (and a bit of a tool)

  3. Pick 57 (2nd round pick 25) traded to Tampa Bay for Pick 60 (2nd round pick 28)

    Bills also get Pick 180 (1st pick of the 6th round)

     

    Pick 60 (2nd round pick 28) traded to the Bengals for Pick 63 (31)

    Bills also get Pick 209 ( 6th round)

     

    Nice to see Stevie Johnson announcing the pick - “Only one Football team in New York State”

        In the last 10 years the Bills have taken 5 players in the fourth round. Often, we have traded this pick in the past.

        Gabriel Davis looks like a stud

        Taron Johnson has been useful

        Cardale Jones???

        Ross Cockrell has a career bouncing around the league….meh.

        DUKE WILLIAMS STONE COLD HALL OF FAME LOCK…. According to the accolades he garners from some on here. 
       
          Apparently, half the posters on here know MORE than Beane and our future has just been destroyed by him working his intel and trading this years 4th.

          Me, I’m going to trust him and our scouting department. Crazy talk I’m sure.

     

    Dude, get your Dukes straight.

     

    The Duke Williams we drafted in the 2013 4th round was a DB, a safety, and he played for us 4 years, which is OK for a Day 3 pick.

     

    What's the point of going back 10 years?  Different Sheriff in charge of the town.   So we can say that in the last 4 years (Beane), he hit it solidly on 2 picks (Davis and Johnson) and traded the pick 2 times.  It's clearly been a valuable pick for us.

     

    That said, if Beane and McDermott saw Elam >> Booth (or anyone else left on their board) I'm not gonna quarrel with their assessment.  DB is one position where they seem to know their stuff.

    To play in the NFL you have to be confident. 

     

    Sure.  But there's a difference between "confident" and "####-sure".  Like Tua with his comment after 3 games "I expected it (the NFL) to be a lot harder," it might not age well and people will keep their "receipts".

     

    As one of the Packers OL said to Farve "I gotta block this guy, Brett, Don't Piss Him Off!"

    Bill B. Has to go. The game has past him by. Know when to hang them up.

     

    I'll wait to reach that conclusion until the Pats miss the playoffs 2 years in a row

    3 superbowls, 2 SB wins in the last 6 years plus 2 playoffs including 10-7 with a rookie QB doesn't sound like "game has passed him by" at all

     

    That said....my impression is that Bill Belicheck has always been the guy who wants to keep everything he can, close to his vest and not delegate.

    That philosophy works better at age 60 than at age 65 and better at age 65 than age 70.

    Jets had a great draft unfortunately. One of the funniest comments I read on the Jets board was someone said that "Joe Douglas is the best GM in the league and its not even close". Other Jets fans to their credit told him he isn't even the best in the division behind Beane and Bill. One guy also said "can we do better than 4-13 before we put him in the HOF".

     

    LOL at that last

     

    The Jets had a solid first round and came away with 3 highly regarded players who should help them a lot.

     

    OTOH, the announcers on ABC were just "washing" them to a ridiculous degree, they drafted the best CB in the draft and they drafted the best WR and then they drafted the best LB/DE in the draft.

     

    Every year, players who are drafted later on outperform initially and/or have better careers than players who are drafted higher, so I think the chances the Jets hit it out of the park x3 are fairly small.  They had a good draft, but let's not go nuts. 

     

    The pundits were all slamming the Bills a couple years ago for trading up for Josh Allen and then for Tre Edmunds.   We know how Allen vs Pundits worked out and while in hindsight, we might all rather have Darius Leonard, fwiw PFR has Edmunds at equal AAV to Roquan Smith (who went eighth) and better than Rashan Evans (who went 22); Edmunds hasn't  been what the fans hoped, and maybe not quite what the Bills hoped, but he's been a starter.

    What’s he supposed to say ?  “I’ll get toasted”?  This is nothing.  All these guys say stuff like this 

     

    "Those guys are among the best and I look forward to playing against them.  They'll be a great test"

     

    The smart ones don't write a check with their mouths they may not be able to cash with their bodies at first.

    Explanation doesn’t make much sense. If he’s only taking a corner then it does. He may have nailed the pick but being locked into a position took a bunch of good players off the board. 

     

    That’s not how the Bills build their draft board.  There are embedded pieces that talk about this.  They don’t limit it to one position.

     

    If you believe Beane, then yes, they didn’t have a first round grade on Johnson

    They deserve it, they killed it!

     

    I think they’ve had a good draft, but every year the “best” player at a position in the draft doesn’t turn out to be the one believed to be best on draft day.

    A claim that the Jets got the best WR, best CB, and best LB in the draft seems highly uncertain and therefore unlikely.

    I would not have traded up for him but one thing I know for sure is that if we took him it's because his football character is pristine. I said before the draft I will NEVER doubt the Bills when they pick a CB as long as McDermott is in charge.

     

    Yeah, the trade-up was weird.

    Wow! I figured the Bills would draft a CB but surprised they traded up for one. Dallas wasn’t taking a CB but maybe Beane got word of another team trading up. 

     

    That was my thought, we believed someone else would trade up with Dallas?
