For sure I do agree the bills should have added a speed receiver. But I wouldn't invested anything crazy at it.
A 4th round pick in Royals? Sure I would have liked that.
But I do think Beane was absolutely correct in addressing the defence in days 1 and 2. And this is coming from me, who usually pounds the table for a receiver In the 1st round
Hahaha. Ya I think the expectation for our offence is a bit unrealistic for some people
Chiefs offence last year did absolutely nothing against Houston or philly in the playoffs. 29 points against the Cheifs should Have been a two score win
But Chiefs absolutely carved up the bills defence and Mahomes had his highest EPA in his career... lol
It's wild to me how some people think the offence was a problem.
At the end of the day they scored 29 points on the road in arrowhead. (Would have been 31 if it wasn't for the two point attempts). it's extremely rare for a a team to come close to that in arrowhead in a playoff game. You shouldn't need 34 points to win a playoff game on the road against a top 5 defence.
The defence is by far the biggest problem on this team and it's not even close.
B to B Plus.
Loved the focus on the defensive side. Just thought it was a bit of overkill on day 3. Would have preferred a speed receiver in round 4 or 5.
But overall, solid draft and they addressed their biggest 4 needs with their first 4 picks
This pick is the most intriguing to me.
My initial reaction wasn't great, as I mostly listen to Joe Marino and he hated him.
But the more you read about this guy, the more you see the bills maybe could have hit a home run here
Yep exactly.
And even if you get teams in passing downs- If you can't generate pass rush with your front 4, you're screwed.
As smart veteran QBs will pick apart the zone if they have any modest time to throw
This draft and even the free agent signings put the heat on Bobby Babich.
Last year inarguably there wasn't enough talent
So It will be interesting to see what happens with Bobby B, if the bills defence starts slow. As I don't think the patience will be too high
All fair points. I just question where he fits in as it's a log jam. (If they move him to guard that's a different story)
But I hear what you're saying
I know nothing about the player, but I just don't understand the positional pick.
He is gonna be a practice squad player as there's a log jam at tackle .
Why not pick a guy who actually has a legit chance to Make the roster this year.. Punter? Speed Receiver? Linebacker depth?
