LEBills

Im starting to relax a bit too. I was upset at the pick because I watched him pre-draft and he just isn’t going to be a good starting LB right away. He just gets swallowed by blockers and so tries to go around them and misses his gaps at times. However, he is a natural athlete with real speed and has nearly 34 inch arms. With those tools he can develop into a good player which is probably why initially they said he would be a backup. My biggest concern was not getting a player that could contribute early or backup a more important position (OT, DT, WR, etc) but looking at how the board fell, there were only a few players left that I thought could really help there. What we missed out on wasn’t that great. So this is a play for future upside coming out of a crappy draft. I think it still was not an optimal use of the pick, but I don’t think it is an abject disaster.

Would like to try and get Cam Fleming as some OT insurance first but after that any of those DLineman would be helpful situational pass rushers. Floyd probably would be the starter until Von gets back

Seems like a really great kid but I think he will be a PS guy whether we get DHop or Jalen Wayne or Tyrell Shavers beats him out for a 53 spot. Wayne is a better receiver at this point and Shavers is a great special team gunner. Rooting for all three of them tho

Yea honestly like him more than Shorter. Hoping this is them getting in the mindset of adding all the old Colts receivers relatives with Marv Harrison Jr draft eligible next year

I had to check and it is a real person

Hoping we take a chance on Sean Tucker as a UDFA. He has that heart issue but supposedly he got the all clear. Bills were one of four teams at his pro day. Fun player to watch.

Alex Austin is a good player, good idea getting a CB since that was the deepest position of the draft

Broeker is a nice pick at this point of the draft

I think this is probably right. Hopefully we add another OT once it doesn’t affect the compensatory pick

Surprised a bit about Skinner Wypler is a Center who is small and has very short arms so teams are staying away, though he was a good player at Ohio State

This is right, he is a special teamer if he makes the team at all. Not a good WR. Disappointing. On to round 6.

Outside receiver, thought there were better receivers in the board tho.

Would take Duncan, Joseph or Ricks out of that list

We are about to have a shot at some good player in rd5 assuming we don’t trade down. AT Perry Tyler Scott Jaelynn Duncan Darius Rush Jose Ramirez lots of good players available

I normally like trading back but Kincaid was too good to pass and I don’t think my blood pressure could handle another third round pick haha

I wouldn’t mind either. The mystery of Iosiovas is intriguing. I think Jarret is probably more of a speed slot than a future Diggs but if we get him that is what I will hope for lol

Unfortunately, Beane is just an average GM when it comes to talent evaluation. He is better at the cap management but that is getting harder with Josh being expensive. All teams miss on pick, and Beane’s first rounders have been solid, but since 2019 the only player selects by the Bills who has gone to the pro bowl (a much lower achievement than in earlier times) is Wyatt Teller with the Browns. That’s just not good enough to compete long term unfortunately.

In his March press conference, Beane said: "We'll keep Matt where he's at," Beane said during a news conference at One Bills Drive that centered on introducing the team's three new free agent additions to the Western New York media. "We'll just let there be competition for that middle linebacker." If they are desperate enough at any point during the season maybe they change their tune.

Going to feel extra long today and many on the list will be gone. A couple of role players that we could use Field stretching receiver: Tyler Scott is the best player left for that role Andrei Iosiovas Trey Palmer Rakim Jarrett Xavier Smith Swing Tackle: Jaelyn Duncan Blake Freelan Trevor Reid Earl Bostick Carter Warren Run stuffing DT: Cameron Young Keondre Coburn CB has the most potential starters left: Kelee Ringo, Darius Rush, Terrell Smith, Clark Phillips, Jakorian Bennett, Kyu Blu Kelly, Eli Ricks, Slot corners: Trevous Hodges Tomlinson, keitrel clark Honestly I would be ok with both of our remaining picks being CB, there is so much depth left there. Move Benford fully to safety. Top guys left could easily challenge Dane for CB3 if they fall to us

yup. Bernard was certainly McDermotts pick last year. And now that Tremaine is gone it was probably his pick again. At least he waited until the third round to put Beane in a chokehold for defensive players, normally that starts the first night. Like the draft as a whole, but this was dissappointing and makes it feel more and more like we have no plan when it comes to drafting.

lol I don’t really understand the point you are trying to make. Henley and Simpson are also small but better players that were reasonable to draft in the third. Overshown and Williams are also small and their skills would have been reasonable in the 5th round. but that is just my opinion from what I do pre-draft. I hope I am wrong and he is awesome
