I think the odds are low for Ingram and Lewis. Buffalo drafted higher caliber athletes who had better college careers. Hancock and Strong are highly rated players and picks draft heads seem to universally praise. Both in scheme fit and value.

He will not approach 50% imo. Sanders and Oliver will be well over 50. Than Jones. I expect he will be 4th in the room in snaps. In the Super Bowl Jordan Davis played 15 snaps.

Jerry O explaining the injury and how the NFL is more equipped to handle it than college was insightful. Also, how Buffalo can help it. Playing through it shows his grit. If Buffalo is able to get him healthy he is a Jordan Davis level monster. 15-20 snaps a game being a destroyer enhances the entire front.

A 5th rd pick with a probable role and is active on game days is a slam dunk. Is he Kelce? No. He can block his ass off and is a little more athletic than you think. Decent RAS like 7 something better than I expected. Strong case for TE3. Pairs well with Kincaid and Knox.

I think Hancock is an upgrade over Lewis. I expect him to play special teams and see the field a bit due to being available.

I would guess it ends up cb1 Benford, Jackson, Strong cb 2 White/Hairston Slot Johnson, Hancock S Rapp, Bishop, Hamlin and Forest Codrington imo has no chance to make the 53 unless an injury puts a player on IR and opens a roster spot. That spot is going to a db. I think they like Lewis too much to keep him off the roster. I think him and Ingram are too limited. They are replaced by Hancock and Strong.

90’s home or away with Red helmets.

He said that Saturday at the post draft presser. Almost verbatim.

Sure. I didnt see much value this year in the class. Top to bottom it felt over drafted. Biggest needs for the Bills were dline and secondary. They seemed to fill it with value. I cant complain about it. Would have liked a wr but Moore is as good value vs who was available.

Beane plays chess not checkers. Having Moore with this draft is 🤌

They did draft one this year. With the first pick last year. They drafted Shorter the year prior and the year before that they picked Shakir. What are we talking about?

I would argue 1 can.

Elijah Moore has been a more consistent wr compared to Mack Hollins. Moore has been the better wr over the course of his career with his best Qb being a washed Flacco. I think Moore is a sneaky good fit. Need cover 1 with a deep dive but I think he has a strong case to thrive in the offense.

I understand the comp based off draft capital. The money says otherwise. I think Moore is a more well rounded receiver compared Claypool, Isibella, and Hamler. Imo Moore is a better fit in the offense and Allens passing game. Imo it gives Shakir a Robin. Where he can bounce inside or outside based off where Shakir lines up. That said he may not make the team but his shot at the 53 is as good or better than any wr available on day 3 of the draft.

The conversation that sent Beane was Jeremy telling Sal he was going to ask Beane why he undervalues wr compared to the rest of the league. Beane didnt see value in the draft and brought in the best available FA instead. Good business.

The trade is relevant to me because some think they dont do anything to improve wr. Imo since Brady took over Buffalo hasnt been able to play the same style of defense Mcdermott wants to. Back 7 has been slow. Playoffs they have been exposed. I want Allen to have as many weapons as possible. Has to make sense though. Draft was very meh at wr. College in general was besides 2 freshman.

Still need guys to cover em. I think Wr can and should be looked at to improve at all times. Hard to find a flaw in judgement for the picks made. Besides any wr is better. Arguing over day 3 picks is wild. Each guy has a path to make the team.

He was not good. After the trade the offense was. Palmer is an upgrade over Cooper and Hollins. My point Beane has no problem being aggressive. He didnt trade up for Thomas. Philly, Miami, LAR and Pittsburgh all got value at positions of need. You cant just trade up because you want to. Need someone who wants to move back. Pretty obvious they missed on their top players and why they moved backed. This year everyone expected DE, DT,CB in some order. Complaining about a 4th rd wr not drafted is asinine. Royals or Horton would have a tough time cracking the top 4 barring injury. Moore or another similar wr offers the 25 Bills the same value maybe more. Whats the issue? Poor wr draft. Deep dline draft. Turns out Buffalo best value picks were db on day 3. Day 3 get your highest rated guys and guys who could make the team. I see no problem with what happened.

Said player doesnt block or play teams. The 5th wr will have a roster spot and jersey for the 3 deep shots a game? When in reality the explosive play comes when its a simple sail concept and Allen rolls out and finds someone for down the field outside of structure.

So he has demonstrated he will make a move to fix the position if it needs it? He did it in October. They did not like the wr class. Many did not. The big needs at dline and db were filled. Why is this still be discussed. If the team has a need Beane has shown he will go to great lengths to fix them.

Correct. 0 awareness. Sanders heard his whole life how his dad bullied coaches in his combine interviews. Was set up for failure with everything around him. Needed an outsider with fresh perspective to get him drafted higher. I dont think he is the partier Manziel was. Seems like he was given terrible advice and guidance from December to March.

0 reports of good ones.

They are interviewing others the same age. They are not interviewing Sanders and a bunch of 30 year olds. Not one report has come out that he blew anyone away. Fringe starter lacking back up traits.

That wasnt the context. They said Beane obviously undervalues the position because he didnt draft one earlier. They challenged his ability to properly do his job. Why would he let that slide?

Agents still steer clients to teams with open spots. Buffalo would be one of the worst spots to go to as a UDFA rb. Starter backup 3rd down locked up. Evans able to play. Gore has the leg up with scheme. They were picked before. You cant assume Buffalo didn't try to move up.
