  1. I don’t like the immediately post draft grades, “draft expert” decide where players should be valued.  But they are not scouts and they are almost never correct.  We don’t always know the circumstances either. A player might fit one system over another.  We will truly be able to grade these in 4 years.

    that being Said, if Beane thought Elam was worth the pick, he was worth the pick…same for every round.

     

    final grade A  🤷🏻‍♂️

  2. Pros: punter that can truly flip the field…the #1 defense just went from starting at their 35+ to starting inside their 25.
     
    Pros: while hopefully never used, as a left footed kicker the onside game could’ve gotten interesting, especially with the new rules.

     

    cons: Holding, are we going to see 2 punters with one a designated holder?  I’ve said this in previous posts.  He was a kicker too and obviously didn’t hold his own kick.  Bojo ruined Crosby this past year, I don’t want to see Bass have a setback.  We’ll lose more games with a 10% lower FG % over a 10+ yard punting difference. So I’m actually saying, keep MH too as a designated holder.

  3. I think Edmunds is definitely playing for the Bills in 2022…that being said the real concern is we only have a single LB until contract after 22, Edmunds would have leverage and someone will offer him 15 million a year.  I’m not sure we can afford to do that.  With all of money spent on several positions, LB isn’t an area we might want to spend.  So bringing in a rookie in the 2nd or later makes sense.

     

    I also believe we might see a return to the 4-3 a little more.  Especially against 3 teams in the AFC east that want to establish the run.

  4. 57.

    Breece Hall

    RB Iowa State

    89.

    Alontae Taylor

    CB Tennessee

    137.

    Zach Tom

    OT Wake Forest

    168.

    Damarri Mathis

    CB Pittsburgh

    185.

    Velus Jones Jr.

    WR Tennessee

    203.

    Tanner Conner

    WR Idaho State

    244.

    Austin Allen

    TE Nebraska

    253.

    Cole Kelley

    QB SE Louisiana

    2023 CAR 1st

    2023 CAR 2nd

    2023 CAR 3rd

     

    So I went in another direction…all the CBs and WRs I wanted were not there.  Carolina came calling.  They offered 1, 2 and 3 next year…healthy chance it’s going to be a top 15 pick…but also a 2nd and a 3rd.

     

    so I had to take it. 
     

    Hall was there at 57, it was between him and CTB…I went RB

    pick 89 I went CB, Taylor is an exceptional athlete and has the ability to play man or zone.  He could start as a rookie.

    137- went with the athletic Tom, he would be a good future starter in this wide zone offense.

    168- got the Pitt secondary player our draft requires and pushes to be CB 5 or 6.

    185-our KR, speed and physical, gets good YAC, older prospect…but could be WR 5.

    203-hey look at 6’3 230 pound WR has a 40 inch vert and ran a 4.37…I wish I had a 3 cone on him.  Could be used as a Deebo type 

    253- project QB, not needed…6’7” 250…would make Josh look small

     

     

    TE and LB are still needs…wish I could’ve found the right ones

     

  5. Surprised there’s no love for the Dolphins…especially if you read their messages boards, Twitter accounts and instagram content accounts.  They think they’re ready to take over the AFC.

     

    the AFC west is so strong, I can’t see a number 1 sead coming from there, I think they’ll get the #3.

    Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming 

     

    This guy would be the QB of the defense we've been waiting for. Smart, athletic, takes good angles, and is as sure a tackler as you will ever see. 

     

     

     

     

    I am with you, last year my guy was Pete Werner, who played well for the Saints, but was drafted right before Buffalo's pick.  I have a feeling that had he been available he would have been our pick at 61.  But Chad Muma could be the future MLB in Buffalo.

  7. Easy, yes if all you need to make a dominant team is a above average one.

     

    where we stand currently, I am very pro drafting a guard early.

    4/5 of our OL is average or above.

     

    but we need a CB2 or CB1.  White and Jackson would be fine, but Tre Might not be there yet.  I don’t want to start a rookie, but we might not have a choice.

     

    I am pro packaging the round two and next years 1st (hopefully pick 32) to move up to 19 and get Booth, then Zion Johnson at 25…both are battle tested and could start as rookies

    I mostly agree. No way Beane drafts 8 players this year.  I expect at least a couple of the later picks to be used to move up in the 2nd or 3rd rounds, or to turn the 4th into a 3rd.  I'm counting on at least one late round pick being used on a punter, but probably not Araiza...I don't think we'll be punting often enough to justify more than a 6th rounder on this position and it will have to be someone who can hold for FGs, which Araiza has never done.   

    100% agree, my hope is we package some picks to move back into the 3rd.  
    my ultimate hope is the QB love continues to rise.  Allowing a CB to fall back to 25.

    I graduated 22 years ago and only FB friends with one person from college.

    Same here, school was incredibly competitive in my field of choice.  I had friends, but I was also dating my first wife.  Needless to say, we never really hung out after graduation..I never hear from them at all.  They all went on to much better places. I burned out, married the girl, moved to a place my degree could have been a liberal arts degree…6 years after that I divorced the first wife, she was my last attachment to the school all together.

    I honestly didn’t care too much for those friends and looking back 23 years ago, I didn’t like me as a person.  Oddly, I’m still friends with high school friends, but I feel I was more of myself then.

  10. I know his play was less than great playing for the Chargers, but is the 29 year old Trai Turner an option at RG?  He had a better season last year in Pittsburg, according to PFF he was the 30th ranked guard and as you all know he was in Carolina with Dorsey and Sean where he was a 5 time Pro Bowler.

     

    I'd feel good with him playing RG, his natural position for Buffalo

  11. I could see a scenario where Hall would be the pick, but unfortunately not in the first.  If he somehow lasted to our 2nd round and the WR/CB position is weakened…I’m all for it.  But the separation at RB isn’t as severe as the CB.  Hall is a low tier 1 RB..spiller and Walker are not far behind him as high tier 2 RB…but we could still draft get a mid tier 2 in the 4th.

    CB has a lot of tier 1, few 2 and a lot of 3.  If we decide that’s where CB2 is…we have to get him early and we might need to double down on the position.  I know BB has a great ability of finding late CBs.  But we need to find a plus athlete starter at CB.

    give me McDuffie/Booth/Gordon in round one and Marcus Jones in round 3 (early I know, but could be our next McGee, also plays WR)

    Round 2…I’d love a speed guy for WR.  Watson would be a dream.  Big, fast with big ole mitts, raw route guy, but gets separation with shear size and speed.

    4th round get a RB…still tier 2s available.
