I think we were good at RB until Shady spoiled Bean on Endgame. Now he's done.

RB with no explosion?

Huge run on WRs recently, hard to imagine us taking one at this point.

There he goes

At this point it is getting weird. GMs REALLY don't like this guy.

Now I want him and would move to get him.

IDK much about him but he's an OT and he's big and nasty.

Universal praise. We got lucky he dropped. He fills a big need. He's going way lower than he probably should. It's backed by performance over several years and not just combine or physical measurements. It seems to be a personality fit. It's fantastic.

Stevie was the best WR we had since Moulds.

ESPN article published today clarifies that AB would have happily come to Buffalo if he got a redo on contract like what Oakland gave ... so it fell through due to Bean not being willing to tear up the existing contract.

Incoming Pats trade for a 3rd and contingent 4th they won't ever get.

LOL. It was never entirely clear what the coaches were letting him do vs. what he just did ... but yes the single best thing about him (other than his running success) is that he let it rip--for better or worse.

I just want to obnoxiously remind people that most of the board did not like the pick and I was telling everyone he would be good. Conversely, most of the board was fine and supported EJ from the start while I sounded the alarm the moment we drafted him knowing it was a disaster. Moral of the story, listen to me on QBs you jokers.

Why doesn't this board have a thumbs down button?

I say draft DK at 9 and stick and him on the outside, with Smokey Brown on the other side, and Beasley in the slot and we have a pretty damn good WR group. We don't need to ask DK to run a million crazy routes. Foster backs them up giving us solid depth at speed for outside WR. Zay can adjust to slot where he will be better and work in with Beasley. Keep another 2 (instead of the usual 1) for competition and cut one of our trademark special teams spots to make up for it. Do that and I think our receiving talent is great. Grab a tackle next and a young RB late and we're good on offense. Fill in on defense where you can but plan to circle back on that next year. DK gives us the size and burner speed we need on the outside to blow the top off and give our other guys space. He'll never play like a Megatron for us but that doesn't mean he isn't worth the 9. Josh will throw him bombs high teams will have to tilt the field his way and he'll run good comebacks and deep outs. Smokey is super dangerous on the other side as well ... our new TE and slot guys should feast. Should open up the run game if we can win at the point of attack to give Shady the second level.

This program is pretty nuts. I've never heard of this and the details are weird.

Pure BPA is an insane way to think about things and of course we would run ourselves into the ground with that strategy. In later rounds is becomes more of thing ... in early rounds you need to value based on your needs/roster. If BPA were something people thought was real there would be no trades ever.

Can you guys help me think through the line? Los of topics about improvements which I agree with b/c we got a bunch of new guys but looking through the wiki for each quickly (since I'm not that familiar with them)...isn't the center the only one guy that's unambiguous starting quality guy? So him plus Dawkins leaving us with 2 confirmed solid Olineman?

Ivory played better for us than I thought he would. Sort of shocked we signed Gore honestly. RB is one area where I think we are a little spastic in terms of the way we are acting.

Lots of love for him on this board as a pick as he fell and eventually went undrafted some time ago. Might as well lowball him.

You just listed everything except interior OL. I think we focus on BPA as always with an edge for DE/DL, LB, and OT. If a WR pops up we need to grab him, and we would do ourselves wonder by nailing a great steal at RB late.

I think we really just feel that way b/c most of us think Josh had a good enough rookie season and may have a future. Some decent moves this offseason but honestly (I know it's crazy to say it) Doug had some decent moves as well ... we just never really liked the QB situation.

We would be a better football team with him so yes

Cut Shady sign Hunt, that's how you save money. Those guys need to be replaced for position and roster size and there are minimum contracts that govern all that. Not saving money cutting them (although Ivory is a bit pricey for what he is).

Allen's biggest problem is he throws so hard our guys drop it.
