Owuso-koramoah is quicker as evidenced by his much better 3-cone and shuttle times vs Bernard.

I get it, but it isn’t like He is coming from South Central Alaska State. I’m sure that Baylor has a top notch strength and conditioning program and facilities.

True, but it isn’t that most anyone they picked would sit behind someone for a time, my concern is that it is a stretch to see him ever developing into more than a sub-package coverage guy and special teamer. I realize that there is only about a 25% chance of finding an eventual starter that late in round 3.

Do they not have weights at Baylor? Now, maybe his coaches wanted him playing that light, but I suspect that he has already been training hard.

Impact starter is a lot to expect late in round 3. Still, like to think they could find a guy who at least has potential to eventually be a starter. Not sure Bernard has that potential at his size. I don’t see the conversion to S that some are suggesting here.

I get the Cook pick - I can see where he can be of value and he’ll get touches. Bernard seems like someone that has no chance ever to compete for a full-time position on defense. I know that finding starters late in the 3rd is very iffy, but this seems like he was drafted to be a special teamer and role player only.

I was on-board with the Elam pick. In the 2nd, I can understand taking Cook, but he is really a part-time “specialist” role and the 2nd seems high for that. The Bernard pick is baffling - a special teams player and maybe sub-package coverage LB? I think they might be outsmarting themselves trying to fill very specific roles with guys who are too undersized to really be full-time players.

Does anyone know anything about Terrel Bernard?

Who?

Bell is interesting. I know he was underwhelming at the combine, but he was outstanding in a major conference.

Well, if there wasn’t a receiver they liked, might as well add a receiving threat out of the backfield. Bills might have the lightest RB group in the league.

Hmmmm…

There are some good players, but I don’t think they want DL or LB.

Either they like a number of players about equally or they don’t like any of them.

Gunner could be right about Jalen Tolbert.

Why has Travis Jones not been taken yet?

Too early for Cook - I think

I think 2nd for Austin is a bit rich. He is very small, but fast and quick.

“Bundle everything else” is like pulling a few pennies and a lint ball out of your pocket. The two 6ths and 7th won’t buy much in a trade. Except that the Bills don’t have a pick in the 4th. If they traded their 5th, both 6ths and 7th, it might get them into the bottom 1/3 of the 4th.

I like Pierce, big, fast and strong. He isn’t the most agile WR around, though. He isn’t going to out-quick too many DBs.

What is he going to trade to move up? Do you want to give up the 3rd round pick, too? I think they will stay put. There will be good players at 57 and they filled their glaring need. They can now just take BPA at most any position except QB or DL. I like Pierce, big, fast and strong. He isn’t the most agile WR around, though. He isn’t going to out-quick too many DBs.

My untrained eye liked Booth and Gordon better, but if Beane thinks Elam is better, I trust him.

I think that he is good, but he is tiny. I know that there are players who don’t fit height-weight prototypes who do very well in the NFL, but the successful ones are the exception rather than the rule. You may be right that he goes higher than I expect. I think a trade back may be what they hope they can do, but finding a willing trade partner who is offering fair value may be difficult.

My opinion is that end of 2nd is a wee bit high for Calvin Austin.

I think people are really underestimating how many outstanding teams are in the AFC. There are a number of outstanding QBs including Mahommes, Burrows, Wilson, Watson, Herbert, Matt Ryan… and there are high potential youngsters I like Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson. Too soon to write off Tua in Miami as well, especially with the WRs and TE they have.
