I called TJ yesterday when Beane was asked about the RBs being old and will he draft one.
He said he likes a RB still available in FA.
Yeldon catches well out of the backfield.
If they sign him they can draft a RB high next year.
I read this post three times before I realized you aren't good friends with TJ Yeldon

Interesting. This regime really doesn't like to draft RBs.

Great pick
I thought for sure Arizona would take him. It was a no brainer after their pick.

The Texans GM sprints to the podium and selects Cody Ford, OT/G from Oklahoma. Deshaun Watson was sacked a whopping 62 times in 2018 and there has been no effort to improve his protection in free agency. Ford offers position versatility as a RT or G, or even LT in a pinch.
@BuffaloHokie13 and the Giants are on deck.

had a better career than 75% of guys drafted.
Sure, because 75% of drafted players don't even become JAGs. He was worthy of starting for a team that lacked talent at receiver. He was good enough to produce as a #3 WR for a couple of seasons with the greatest QB of all time throwing him the ball. By NFL standards that's a solid career. But it doesn't mean we lost out on anything when he walked.

only Bills fans can think a guy who started for the Pats isn’t good enough for us.
Hogan wasn't good for the Pats either. Yeah he produced some. So did Philip Dorsett. Wide receiver was a major weakness for them last year and Hogan was one of the problems. Of course with Brady throwing the ball anyone would produce. There's a reason they're letting him walk for a $2 million contract. If he was on the Bills any of the past three years he wouldn't have made a significant difference. Right now he'd be an underdog to make the team.

This is a perfect comparison. Andrew Holmes had a season with 700 yards and 4 TDs, with a rookie Derek Carr throwing him the ball. Sometimes average or bad players produce for a season. At the end of the day he is still Andre Holmes.

Look at the fawning over the signing of tiny JAG Cole Beasley--one dimensional player who needs nearly 90 targets to get as many yards as Hogan gets in under 60. but he, like Hogan, fills a role---just a more limited one.
Terrible comparison. There's a reason Cole Beasley got signed for a 4 year $29 million contract, and Hogan is getting a 1 year deal with a maximum of $2 million for the year. Beasley is one of the best slot receivers in the league, Hogan is someone you borrow for a year while you wait for the real thing.

I will take the Texans. Didn't read through the whole thread, when is the draft scheduled?
-
The position group battles are going to be crazy this year. I feel like less than half the starters on defense are set in stone right now, and beyond Allen and Morse I couldn't name a single definite starter on offense. And this is before the draft. No one is coming to training camp with a job handed to them. That's the biggest difference since McDermott took over.

Any dream where you end up reading Walter football is a nightmare

Put your weird Bills dreams here. I can't be the only one that has those from time to time
Last night I dreamed the Bills drafted a dog that plays defensive tackle in round 1. Walter Football gave the pick an A grade.

good WR or TE who poses a match-up issue for opposing defenses.
Name your man. Which WR or TE is worth taking at 9? I'm not sure any of them are.

You don't reach for a player in the top 10. Draft BPA or trade down. Drafting a low 1st round offensive player at 10 vs drafting a top 10 pass rusher. No brainer.

Trade 9 for Clark and 21. That’s the equivalent point value of pick 35. Throw in a 4th or lower if needed. At 21 you can get Fant or Metcalf or Cody Ford. Boom, problem solved
I love it. Get a stud pass rusher and still have picks in each of the first 3 rounds. If this is doable we should jump on it.
-
We know they were in on Mack. Clark would be an incredible consolation prize. I would think a 1st would be the price but I'd be all for it.

Ahhh, yet it seems like only months ago that the board was shouting loudly that "you don't start a rookie QB, you let him learn for a year!!".....
Worked out for Mahomes. Aaron Rodgers sat a couple years and turned out pretty good too. Allen looked better after sitting a few games. I stand by my belief that many rookies would be better off sitting at least half of their first season.

I remember him, he was projected to go in the high 2nd round but fell to the 3rd. Wasn't he an OLB coming out?

I was joking around but I agree that Harry would be a great fit. His personality is great as well.
I have heard his practice habits are sloppy and he gets lazy in games. Doesn't seem like someone McDermott would draft.

Building a successful team is obviously a very difficult task, and BPA is just one of at least a few different approaches teams take toward the draft.
I've said this before but I am sure the Bills planned their free agency spending around their draft plans. Everyone says the top talent in this draft is on the defensive line, lo and behold we didn't sign any defensive linemen to big deals. Now they've put themselves in a position where the player they take at 9 is likely to match BPA with need. Or with receivers, it isn't a pressing need like it was 3 months ago, but the receivers we signed are on contracts that are easy to get out of after a year. CB and safety are pretty well locked up for the next couple years but there aren't any top 10 secondary players in this draft anyways. I don't think this stuff is coincidental. Smart teams are planning 1 or 2 years into the future. Beane probably already has an idea of what positions will be deep in the 2020 draft. It isn't as simple as drafting BPA or drafting for need. It's a constant revolving door and the team's job is to make every decision fit together.

I have seen more of Zero's wife's breasts than I expected to this morning that is for sure.
It wouldn't be a TBD offseason without softcore nudity. It beats Zay Jones's butt from last year.

I don't know how they make those judgments, exactly, but I'm sure some of it is physical attributes and some of it is character attributes. But, at least as I've heard Beane describe, none of it is need based
It has to be at least somewhat based in need. We wouldn't draft a 3-4 OLB even if talent wise they were the BPA. But honestly most teams could consider 90% of their position groups as needs. The only positions I'd be shocked to see us take in round 1 are safety, CB, or QB. I could even see us taking a safety or CB in round 2 for depth and long term replacement purposes. We could use upgrades everywhere else on the team and most teams are in the same boat. Outside of your franchise players most positions need an upgrade, if not this year then next year.

I assume three of the trade ups are 22 to 12, 12 to seven and 23 to 16, or whatever the exact numbers were. Not sure what the fourth one was, but I don't think it was in the first round.
We traded up for Jones, Dawkins, Allen, and Edmunds. 4 trade ups in the first two rounds in just 2 drafts. We have 10 picks and I doubt we'll use all of them. They spent a lot in free agency to give themselves flexibility in the draft.
