Agreed. Hopefully Beane can turn this into a day 3 pick. I could see us getting a 5th for AJ. We got similar for Ryan Bates and Cody ford. I think Daquan will be retained and start unless one of the kids really show out and take it.

He’s a beast. Good for him

There are different levels of losing your cool. You don’t have to threaten someone to lose your cool. You don’t have to hold a grudge to lose your cool. I don’t think he threw a tantrum or acted immature. I do think he wishes he had that back. agree to disagree

The fact that he lost his cool defending this is very strange to me. He knows that the WR is missing a piece. He brought in Moore to cement that as fact. Compound the fact that he admitted he knows that these guys say things as a way to create their content. Even more reason to not lose your cool. Just strange

To be fair, I don’t listen to Jeremy other than on Marinos new show. I didn’t hear his rant that Beane was referring to

Good point. Seems to me like the guys we’re investing our best resources in (diggs, Kincaid, and to a lesser extent ) haven’t been able to get it done. Diggs was elite. Couldn’t make the plays when needed. Kincaid, trade up and use a 1st. Drops pass he needed to catch. Our pro bowl LT gets bullrushed and causes an incompletion. Talented players not coming through when the opportunity arises. Only time will tell.

I cringed. That was the worst I’ve heard from Brandon Beanes mouth. Especially considering the topic. Why get so animated over a subject he knows to be true. He wants another speed WR. He said all he needed to in the PC- the guys weren’t on the board when they were on the clock. They went BPA. Leave it at that. Those that are expecting him to say he made a mistake and should’ve traded up, you should know better. That would ever be said. Nonetheless, that was a poor moment from Beane and I bet he wishes he had that one back

I hear ya and I agree that if I were a DC, I’d focus on defending the middle of the field. I just think that 2025 Josh Palmer is a better outside WR than 2024 Amari Cooper. I also think Keon will be a viable option to make plays 1 on 1 on the outside. Pure speculation on my part, but we’ve seen lesser WRs make plays on the outside with lesser QBs. the FO has more belief in our players making plays than much of the board and media. Same situation as last season. Turned out alright last year. I think the O will find a way. If this unit fails, I have faith that Beane will make a move in season. He has a track record for attacking our weaknesses at the deadline. Hopefully the investments on D will stay healthy and make big plays in the playoffs.

I agree- we don’t have that guy. Other than DK, which WRs that were available this year could’ve been that guy? I’d put Josh Palmer up there with the other guys acquired. He plays faster than his 40 and makes plays downfield. I think it was a tough year to need to bolster the X WR. Not giving Beane a pass, I feel it was a mistake to wait til rd 7 to draft a WR, I just don’t think there was a guy that would’ve given us the bolded.

He’s the best of the rest atm- has speed. Loved him coming out of college.

🤷🏻‍♂️ but he will

Yes, a handful of people think he is 1 of 1. I think most of us that aren’t bashing what happened yesterday believe he is a good/very good GM. Certainly not 1 of 1. But exaggerate to try and prove a point based on a few select fans that feel that way. I didn’t like what they did yesterday. But just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t pretend to have a crystal ball. I think the last pick that I openly complained about was Terrell Bernard. Beane has had success on day 3 and I’m not going to act as if I know more than him. Sure, he may have screwed up, but I think he’s done enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. our defense was abysmal last season. Our DL is consistently abysmal in the playoff losses. He addressed it aggressivly

I’d be down with cooper, Moore or chark, but I agree, it’s likely going to be shavers filling that spot. Pierce is a good idea

Haven’t watched any highlights- just listened to his interview from today. I love this guy. Dude just wants to smack people. And has an economics degree from Yale. I still have some hope for Davidson, but I’m really rooting for Hawes. Edit: watched a little tape. He’s our version of Alan Ricard…. Just a lot smaller. He’s not just a good blocking TE. He’s an extremely good blocker. Maybe he can play the Mack Hollins role on some of those screens 🤣 I’d bet he’ll be in the league for 5+ years as a designated blocker.

I don’t think McD is a bad defensive mind. He’s shown capable of holding the chiefs scoring down- shrivels in the playoffs. As does our DL, which has played like crap in every season ending loss since 17 leveled up in 2020

We scored 36 and still lost. 🤪

Good grief. The defense was a much bigger problem than the O. It wasn’t even close. yes, we didn’t score at the end…the guy that we traded up for and used a 1st rd pick dropped the ball that hit him in the arms. The guy we used our first pick on last season had 1 catch for 12 yards. Let’s act like a 4th-7th round pick is going to be the difference. you don’t care what the stats say- fine. Don’t. Watch the game. It’ll be very clear that our offense is MUCH better than our defense. It was putrid. KC bent our d over the last 2 season. 2 seasons in which their offense was carried by their defense. and the last paragraph- 🤷🏻‍♂️ “they had to______ in this draft” ….According to you. So many people act as if they know everything. Ever think that they don’t see things in the same way as you? Maybe they think Palmer is better than you do. Maybe they didn’t like the WR prospects available in each rd as much as you. Maybe they think there is still a chance to add a WR in FA. Maybe they think they can trade for one if things don’t pan out. “They had too______” bs. No, they didn’t. If they did, our 2025 season is over before it began. And it’s not.

And people cease to except this fact.

Seriously. Oh well. Sucks for them

You think they should have. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re not. Maybe Lee Smith 2.0 will actually have a roll. Dorian Strong was seen as a day 2 prospect in some people’s eyes. I’d prefer we had drafted a WR over Hancock- but we aren’t the ones building this team and we don’t know what their plan is with each of these players. I’m not going to pretend to know what the bills SHOULD do. I remembered sitting at the draft when Christian Benford was picked thinking, “who? WTH! Never heard of him. Well at least we drafted Shakir and punt god today”. “They brought in a zillion guy in and missed on all of them?” I think you're better than this and it seems like a drunken reaction. Were you sober when posted that they missed on the entire day?

And he won’t win until the defense can get stops. We’ve seen Josh play better than any QB in the history of the league…. And still lost….because we couldn’t get stops. Until we can, we will continue to lose in the playoffs. The defense has to get better.

Just makes absolutely no sense to someone that has absolutely no clue.

like the majority of these questions that are posed in April

And the ravens and bucs showed you can win super bowls without any QB. Good luck. You need a balance.

I really wanted him after watching his “highlights”. I haven’t watch any real game tape on him- Listening to actual analysts changed my mind. That said- he has potential- hopefully playing with this stacked DL room will light the fire he needs.
