Damn fascinating. OBD is very clearly happy with our OL and Defense as they are. Now Josh has plenty of weapons and potential future weapons and depth at those positions. Please please please let the 2020 Regular Season happen and, ideally, start on time.

When was the last time we only drafted one defensive player in a draft? I know we have 2 more picks, but one of those 2 I believe will be OL. McDermott and Beane clearly love our D as it is.

Man I love this. Josh has really made the Buffalo Bills his team. I gotta assume he's reached out to all the other draft picks, too. Let's all hope Allen & Fromm become the next Kelly & Reich.

When I saw he was still available in round 4, I actually wondered if we'd take him in round 5 if he was still available. We only have Barkley beneath Allen and I'm pretty sure he's only under contract for one more year, right? Considering Allen had an injury in both year 1 and year 2, taking a capable backup QB is a fantastic idea. And seems we got excellent value here. Now preseason games (if we have them) will be a bit more interesting.

Holy crap... I just bothered reading your post despite my conviction I'd be focused solely on the draft alone for 3 days. If you aren't a Russian bot, you're a blind, naive soul. I hope you aren't a Russian bot, primarily because if you are the beautiful avatar I'm giving you in November won't phase you because you don't have a soul.

You're only reaffirming my suspicion that you're a Russian bot.

Dude. It's the goddamn draft. Give yourself a break from politics and your obsession with me and enjoy the sports respite we have for the hot minute we have it.

Matt Miller had him as the 23rd best prospect PFF had him as the 20th best prospect CBS Sports had him as the 26th best prospect Walterfootball had him as the 24th best prospect NBC Sports had him as the 28th best prospect Draftwire had him as the 26th best prospect Sports Illustrated had him as the 28th best prospect Dane Brugler of The Athletic has him as the 4th best Edge Rusher and a borderline 1st round prospect I'd say we did all right

I'm no expert at OL, so maybe Spain is just fine where he is. But correct me if I'm wrong, according to what you've said here, wasn't I correct that Spain is the weak link if you account for the fact that Ford was a rookie 2nd rounder?

I think Spain is a weak link, but everyone on the team loves him, so like I said, maybe they get better as a Unit playing together. Plus I know Ryan Bates is one of those Dark Horses we have.

It's obviously the kinda stuff you say when you draft a guy, but nonetheless this is great to hear!

Why in the world is everyone forgetting about Knox???

She forgot Knox, who I think is about to breakout as an absolute STUD TE. The only question is this: How do we feel about our OL? Love the continuity. But was the lack of playing together the problem and another year of cohesion as an entire Unit going to just naturally improve on the mediocrity of 2019? Hope so.

And this is EXACTLY the way everyone should be looking at this draft. If the draft stops here, I still feel very comfortable saying the 2020 Bills will be better than the 2019 Bills. But we still have more draft picks. And you just gotta KNOW Mcbeane will find another good player in the later rounds... probably a WR at least since this WR class supposedly goes like 50 deep or something in terms of draftable prospects.

Is he more of a power runner?

Awesome! Is he all that different from Singletary?

Whoops.

Did I say I don't want Edwards? I'd love Edwards. Partly because he's one of the few remaining prospects I know anything about. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Who do you guys think we take? Over at The Athletic I think Fairburn and Buscaglia said Bryan Edwards is the EXACT WR we should target and he's still available. I mean I think our starting 3 WRs are obviously set, but below those guys who knows and I could see us moving on from Brown or Beasley after this year. An RB? Who are the OLs left on the board of value?

So weird that people are upset with this pick. Buffalo only had one glaring need after we acquired Diggs: DE I don't watch much college ball, but I know this kid was being mocked to us in the 1st. Sounds like he's ultra talented but just didn't play a ton in college. If we don't draft another player, I'm excited about this team. Those clamoring for us to draft an RB like Dobbins in round 2 are missing the value of RBs and the gems you can get from smaller schools later: see Devon Singletary. And who knows? Maybe McDermott and Beane are happier with the RB room than we are. Maybe they saw Wade really progress in his learning of the NFL game last year? I'm almost expecting OL in round 3.

DE was our #1 need by far after acquiring Diggs, so we all gotta be good with this. Kyle Dugger was the guy I thought we'd take if he was on the board as that hybrid S/OLB McDermott likes to use in his D. Then the Patriots took him. DE was a huge need. Looks like a physical freak. Sounds like he's fairly raw and didn't play a lot in college. That'll serve the Bills D really well in our rotation system.

Good now we won't be pressured to pick Diggs to keep his brother happy

Could we maybe do Epenesa in the 2nd and Claypool in the 3rd?

Who're we thinking? Epenesa? Mims? Dobbins?

Keep doubting it despite mounting evidence: but let's enjoy our first real day of live sports respite in more than a month and a half.
