You're comparing very different Os and QBs with Crowder and Beasley over their past 3-4 years and assigning the "decline" to Crowder vs the Jets' O as a whole--they ranked at the bottom in 2 of the last 3 years. If anything, the stats suggest Crowder's stats will be even better playing with Allen and the Bills. While Davis was here, it's clear that he will upgrade the #2 position with Sanders gone. Davis and Diggs will be > Sanders and Diggs from last year. As for covid, having the vaccine does not prevent you from getting it, so that's not really a meaningful argument for this year... As I stated in (..) outside of the O-line, the O is better than last year, so I am not disagreeing with you there.

Yeah, that Beasley - Crowder comparison was definitely cherry picked using last year's numbers only. Crowder's career numbers are better than Beasley's. As for Sanders-Davis, they replaced a declining talent with a rising star. The (non O-line) offensive talent is better this year than last year, and the depth is improved.

If you read the linked article from the OP it's about PFF re-grading the 2018 draft. It starts out by saying they would've given it an A+ for Josh Allen alone. Since it's about re-grading that draft, of course you look at all players drafted, regardless of where they are now.

I don't if this shows for everyone, but there is a warning for the video about sensitive content. I wonder if it's directed at Pats' fans...? hehehe

A nice little Baldy Breakdown on Ryan Bates:

Yeah, they don't need big numbers with their rotation. I think they'll have at least 2 other DEs with 5-7 sacks, excluding Von (8-9), and maybe 3 DTs. They could be a lot like Minnesota last year, no one with double-digit sacks, but second in the league overall.

He's pretty emotional in this one..

Shakir, what a great dude. Like listening to him.

He's got months to work on it. He'll be fine...

Do you mean O-line, skill players, or just in general? To this untrained eye, it looks as if they've diversified what the O is capable of offering each week by strengthening the passing attack in the backfield and TE positions, adding Cook and Howard. WR has a slight difference in the strengths that Crowder and Beasley offer, but, other than that, it's kind of a wash (possibly better with Davis getting more snaps?). No real upgrades/changes at OL, so wondering if that's what you mean?

I appreciate the work and like your thread title. I much prefer to read these types of threads than something Talley's wife said....

My favorite stuff they put out, the post-draft inside looks! Thanks.

NFL.com profile says same.

NFL profile says he could move to Safety.

Yeah, I laughed out loud when I saw the pick!

Too Brandt didn't get to announce this one!

I believe they met with Dono West too. Time for an IOL pick.

Of course not, but that's what drove him to make the move--when need matches up with BPA (as he also said in his presser).

The way R1 went, the odds are 50-50, especially if a handful of QBs go before 57. There is a lot of talent left on the D side of the ball, so I think the Bills will have a choice of at least one of Hall/Walker, a couple WRs, and the top TE prospect.

As Beane said in his presser, in addition to the last R1 talent on their board, it was the possibility of someone jumping in front of them--everyone knew the Bills needed a CB.

This is going to be a much more interesting round for the Bills. Filled their biggest and most obvious hole in R1, so there are multiple possibilities here. If 2-3 QBs go in the next 24 picks, there will be some very good players available (there will be anyway). I think there will be another run on the tier-2 WRs and CBs, so it's quite possible the top RBs and TEs are there. Then there are LBs and Safeties. I think the only thing that is certain is there will be a lot of teeth gnashing on TBD after the pick...

I'd bet a lot of money that Knox ain't goin nowhere.

He must've been the only remaining CB they had an R1 grade on.

I'll be shocked if this doesn't happen
