I disagree on the Whaley/Rex thing as last year's roster filled with Rex/Rob Ryan castoffs/personnel types to try and build a better 34 defense.I agree that I am uninspired by this hire and I believe that the hiring process was a bit of a sham. It's pretty clear that Beane was the guy from the start, based on his connection to McDermott. That said, this guy might not be a bad hire. For an organization to be successful, the GM and head coach need to complement each other and work together. They need to share a vision for what they believe will make the team successful. Whaley didn't have such a shared vision with Marrone or Rex and the results showed both on and off the field. Beane and McDermott should work well together and if they are both good at their jobs, it could turn out very well. If it doesn't, they will crash and burn together and this board will be debating a new GM and HC in 2-3 years.

McDermott does have a personnel/scouting background that said usually GMs are the ones making final calls on adding people and it's a positive thing that GM and coach work together to build the roster.Yep. McDermott is GM I don't care what the title says. Sabres GM took longer...cause that GM will actually be making the calls. Beane is a glorified scout
-
Is the whole scouting team fired? It was never really mentioned in the statement and the scouts before the draft was expected to be fired. If they are i could see this.
General Manager- Brandon Beane
Director of Player Personnel- Brett Veach
At a Sunday press conference Pegula confirmed that in addition to Whaley the pro and college scouting departments were also relieved of their duties. That included Director of Player Personnel Jim Monos, Director of Pro Personnel Rob Hanrahan and Player Personnel Advisor Kelvin Fisher, who oversaw much of the college scouting operation. -
can we get Bill Walsh to sign off on the Peterman pick too?
Considering he's dead that won't be easy.
-
They pick the players. Beane likes players that don't fit our current offensive scheme.
Actually I did.
With Dennison as OC our new offensive scheme will be WCO based. This will need bigger WRs that can run precise routes and move the chains. Also it counts on multi threat RB (remember Ricky Watters with the 49ers?) and TEs that can catch and FBs that can block/catch. The only thing we might lack is a zone blocking offensive line. I don't see us needing to make big changes for the offense to work except more depth at TE.

It was a solid draft. Yet it would have been nice to have a few more picks as not sure either of the LBs we drafted are starting material this year and felt we gave up too much for Dawkins even though I like him as a player.
-
B, I think we gave up a little too much for Dion Dawkins.
-
Kojo our primary backup swing OT. Henderson is suspended for first 5 games and might be as good as gone aka cut.Seems like a good pick. We have a lot of tackles on the roster, I wonder if they'll trade Kojo or Henderson ?
-
Levy's retired. If you going with a free agent another name is Gerald Hayes.Perry Riley, Deandre Levy, or Sio Moore maybe?
-
The Bills have $38 million in cap space with 41 players on roster. I can't see why we wouldn't keep Sammy another year. I call this story bunk as Vic doesn't seem to be most reliable source these days.
-
Exactly, I still don't get why some can't grasp this.
Grasp what? Most NFL teams use coach's inputs in making decisions on personnel.
-
Starting at the 4:46 minuite mark, "We'd been working on it the last 5 days" and he says "me and Doug been working on it". It's obvious Whaley's is doing his job as GM. Nothing wrong though that he gets his coach's input before making moves.
-
QB Nathan Peterman at #71 been my want for quite sometime. If we get someone like Zach Cunningham in Round 2 then be looking at WRs with the pick we got from the Chiefs and tops on my list is Amara Darboh of Michigan
-
The Cheats* or the Chiefs, knowing any loss by them moves us up in the draft? Personally, I hope they go 1-15.....
The Patriots as odds are we won't be competing with them for the division so better they beat up on on another AFC Wild card contending team and of course improve the draft stock of the pick we acquired.
-
Cleveland moves down 13 spots and only gets a 2018 first, sounds like Whaley got a better offer.
-
Budda Baker.Who can we get at 27? Zay Jones?
-
Nice! More then we gave up for Watkins.
-
TRADE with Chiefs
-
+1I'd be livid.
-
OJ Howard. Can get CB or S in Round 2

NFL.com 7 round mock draft
Buffalo Bills
Round 1 (10) Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
Round 2 (44) JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC
Round 3 (75) Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama
Round 5 (156) Dan Skipper, T, Arkansas
Round 5 (163) Jeremy McNichols, RB, Boise State
Round 6 (171) Eddie Jackson, S, Alabama
Round 6 (195) Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss
I have to say, I don't hate it.
What happened to our third 5th Rounder?
but TE is not really a hole....compared to others
Our depth at TE is horrible. Nick O'leary at best is a third TE but as of today he'd be our primary backup.

PIZ posted this Tweet from Joe B in the shoutbox: "ole draft day..extended version 22 Qs. Why 22? Because I love that number"
His thinking is that Joe B might be dropping hints that they'd consider trading all the way down from 10 to 22. If they do that, the'd better get a substantial haul of picks in return - like an extra 2nd and 3rd this year and a pick next year.
Trade down with the Dolphins? Eeesh.

...has the Bills taking 'Bama LB Reuben Foster at #10. Here's his quote:
Buffalo could go in a lot of directions here, including QB, but Foster's tape is so good that it reminds me of Luke Kuechly's. There are off-field concerns with Foster, but his tape is awesome.
Thoughts?
Whaley is good at finding LBs, I think taking one in Round 1 is foolish. Case in point in Round 2 we could likely get a Tyus Bowser who has a great deal of zone coverage experience and been a productive pass rusher the last two years and has good size/speed numbers. Personally I want one of the top two Safeties or Mike Williams or OJ Howard in Round 1 if we stay at #10.
The Bills don't have any 3 down linebackers.
That's a big problem in today's NFL.
Preston Brown was a 3 down LB in Schwartz's scheme. Also McDermott plays a large percentage of nickel based defense so we only really need two LBs.

I'm shocked it took to page 2 to find this! Heath all the way I agree.
