Yet Beane has stated that they simply stuck with their board and took their top rated player in each spot; he didn’t want to reach. So while they need a certain type of WR to finish this offensive roster, that player wasn’t available to them when they picked . Just the way the board fell. I was hoping for a WR after round two, but just wasn’t the right draft class I guess.

I would consider that a success

Okay, that was 2008. Roster is quite different now.

Improve pass rush ( trade or FA) , WR ( trade)

Can’t care too much about what guys are getting paid ( maybe at contract time) or what was given up. This FO is building something in their vision. As long as the overall cap situation is good, the compensation part doesn’t matter much. McDs scheme is a rotation , and that won’t change. They knew KE retiring left a huge hole and they got the perfect player to fill it. That was never going to be Phillips

I think draft grades make more sense than mocks. Of course, these early grades are not indicative of player success or failure. Way too soon for that. Rather, they are grading on whether the team got value for where the selection was made, if the pick made sense / was a fit for team needs and scheme. If you are looking at grades as predicting how good the players will be , that is impossible and a silly notion.

Well, that is what will happen of course. In the meantime , it’s the offseason ! As fans hanging out on a message board, possibilities will be discussed. If you find this practice pointless, check back in when the season starts.

From the picks they did make I’d say they used them on areas where they lacked depth. Very thin at ILB and S, TE after the starters. Saved WR for the UDFA group

Dawkins Spain Morse Feliciano Ford

It took consistent throwing of INTs and losing a game they should have won for them to do it. I don’t think they care(d) about the fan base at all when making decisions on personnel. They believe what they believe until a player proves them wrong.

Yes, it was. Some recognizable names even in the late rounds of that one.

He was. So was the Browns QB Spurgon Wynn picked a few spots ahead of him. Of course, no one calls it genius because he sucked and it’s the Browns.

Not yet

Every team has guys that don’t pan out. At least they cut their losses and moved on pretty quickly.

Odds for Jones just got a lot better this weekend. Looks like he’s here for 2019 season for sure.

It has everything to do with it. They don’t win because of those players, they win with their QB. They also can trade away players in their primes and still win due to this. When he’s gone, they’re just another average roster. The comp system isn’t being exploited. You don’t get the picks unless you lose FAs. That’s not exploitation, it’s how the thing is designed to work.

Bills aren’t in a position to get comp picks... or to trade away good players in their prime to get draft picks. When you have a QB that enables you to win with undersized mid to late round WRs , life is good. Can’t really try to copy the operational style of an NFL anomaly.

They felt they needed to. This FO and HC have consistently shown they believe in using picks to move around the board and get very specific players that they like. As Bills fans, this is what we should expect they will do . They weren’t going to draft 10 players only to cut half of them in training camp. If they felt certain they would get the player or that the cost was too rich they’d have stayed put.

At 49? Anyway, who do they want, then? 31st passing offense.

Has to be a WR in round 2 or this draft goes down to a C. Really blew an opportunity there at the end of round one with teams looking to deal

Not so fast.... not looking nearly as good right now. Could we be shut out of a run on WRs... with division rivals NE and NYJ getting what we need.. 31st ranked passing offense. No thanks to a CB

C’mon Beane ..... get er done.

When is someone willing to move out of round one ? Have to do it to land a WR

Well Murray goes first, are the talks heating up for 3 ?

It’s the midget
