    He played outside 65% of the time. We can use him in any spot. Good route runner, good YAC, good vertical speed. 


    College is different from pros, I think slot is best for him so he gets free releases off the line like he did in a lot of his pass sets at Boise. Arms are short so pressed can hang him up a bit. Very excited for him on this team, type of player we needed

    I think McDermott could out survive Beane. I don't think Beane could outsurvive McDermott. The reality however is that these guys are tied at the hip.


    McDermott was here before and approved Beane, that’s all we need to know when wondering who is the one with more control

    Well, how many first round worthy WRs drop to the bottom of the round, where the Bills pick?   They're generally gone by pick 20 or so, as bad teams ahead of the Bills scoup them up--pushing other positions down the board for Beane.   

     

    They've used FA for WR2 and WR3, getting vets who could help Josh grow and develop.   With the salary cap constraints that kick in next year, I suspect 2023 is the year they work the draft to land cost-controlled WRs to bolster the offense.

    The Bills were in a difficult situation in all the three rounds when there was a run on WRs right before them that pretty much took away any chance on them to get a WR.  I am sure if Moore, Pickens etc were on the board at our pick, we would have selected them. 

     

    Additionally, the Bills have already picked McKenzie and Crowder in FA....so they were not going to invest a high pick on WR unless they fell to their draft position.


    The Bills WR is not terrible now, but it is thin. Sometimes you have to be aggressive and move up into those runs to be players in WRs or just move back and take your next best one. It would be nice to get a higher end guy in before we need him so he can develop before he is needed…like we seem to do with off ball LBs which are a much lesser value position.

     

    It is what it is, there are only so much money for free agents and draft picks each year but we have been very defense heavy lately (last big draft capital used on offense was Diggs and last big FA offense signing was 2019 when they signed Smoke, Beasley and OLineman) and it’s time to give Josh more help.

    I think Calvin Austin will be gone soo my preferred draft from here on out would be:

     

    Trade up for Isaiah Likely TE CCU

    Trade up for Romeo Doubs WR Nevada

    Dohnovan West C/G ASU

    Jordan Stout P PSU

     

    How do I get this advice to McBeane?

    Could be the 3rd LB taking over for Klein.  Some whispers they may be playing more 3 LB sets.  Seems like a great blitzer too.


    We knew hey were going to draft a LB bc all the sniffing around they did pre-draft. He has some talent. Backup off ball LB (we played 2 LBs 90% of the time last year) in the 3rd is just not the best asset allocation is all.

    Knew it wasn’t a priority all the way back to the combine when McD basically said you can develop late round WRs and don’t need to take the in the higher rounds…. So long as his defense is stacked.


    Yea Beane is the GM but by McD’s own admission, McD is VERY involved in the draft. So who he wants he gets.

    Matt Milano coming out of college:

     

    6 foot half inch

    223 lbs

    4.67 40 time

    last two seasons in college 13 sacks 118 tackles

     

    Terrell Bernard:

     

    6 foot 3/4 of an inch

    222 lbs

    4.59 40 time

    last two seasons 11 sacks and 158 tackles

     

    Terrell will easily gain 5-10 lbs without giving up anything athletically

     

     

    Perspective

     


    Milano was a 5th round pick and starter

     

    Bernard is a 3rd round pick and backup

     

    But yes he may take over for Milano in two years when they can get out of his contract

    The one way I disagree with the OP’s thoughts is that in effect Beane used a first to acquire Diggs. I also think Beane stays true to his board, especially in the early rounds. They had none of the available receivers ranked as a round 1 pick as they came close. 
     

    I also trust they had nobody with a round two grade when their chance came up. 
     

    I like the fact that Beane does not reach for picks. WR’s generally don’t make big year 1 contributions.  There are also value picks that come later in the draft who later become studs (look at Diggs). 


    Since McDermott got here in 2017 and if you include the first rounder we used for Diggs, we have used 2 out of 7 first rounders on offense. Josh and Diggs. 
     

    They need to put more premium assets to the offense. This year the WRs got scooped up, but the last time we have drafted a receiver before round three was Zay Jones 🤮 in 2017.

    Refreshed their entire linebacking unit too. All 3 starters will be on rookie deals in 2022. And two nice picks on the secondary this year which they have been guilty of ignoring in the past.

     

    EDIT: do think the Dline is going to nees more work soon. Don't love Karlaftis. Jones can't go forever.


    yes, I still don’t think Bolton is great but Chenel is going to be a problem for us. Hated seeing that.

    I expect Beane to be asked about the WR depth after the draft at his presser…. Then again the Buffalo media sucks so maybe not…


    Yea I doubt it, he barely got any push back on Bernard which was one of the biggest reaches so far. Let’s hope he can snag one of the draftable prospects left.
     

    If he gets Romeo Doubs I will take back what I said because I think he is a third round talent.

    Oh, I agree.. Diggs, Davis and Crowder is a legit trio, but I’m honestly shocked that we’re sitting here going into Day 3 with Kumerow as our outside WR3 for a team that throws the ball a ton. 
     

    While the Chiefs lost a ton of firepower in Hill and some depth in Pringle, I do think they rebounded nicely with MVS, Juju and Moore. 
     

     


    Yea, I like the Chiefs drafts. I thought last year how they rebuilt their line was masterful. They haven’t put high end assets into their receivers as I think Juju and MVS won’t be long for the roster I think Skyy will be a monster in that offense.

     

    As much as I hate the Chiefs, I hope the Bills take some notes on how to shape a roster with a super-contract QB from them.
