I've watched Duke all year and I love this pick.
He has his flaws, but he is highly coachable.

I’ve been a fan of Bishop for months. Would have preferred to try and get in the 3rd but I understand the run on some Safeties.
Bishop is a solid player......i don't know if he even would have made it out of the 2nd.

I might be in the minority here, but i like our picks so far........gritty, grind it out, hardworking lunchpail players.

Like what is their philosophy? Ground and pound and dominate the short and intermediate passing game? Have the biggest guys on offense ?
Yes sir.
They are trying to own the middle of the field......create mismatch nightmares and rely on YAC......more like death by a thousand cuts.

Ive watched Coleman at Michigan and FSU.....
The kid has immeasurable tangibles that fit right in with our roster.......he's big, athletic, his hands are ball magnets, he's physical and can be a mismatch nightmare anywhere on the field.
Don't let the combine fool you.......yes, his 40 time was slow, however, he had the best time in the gauntlet and the pass-arounds from all other WR's there. Think about that, you pancake eating mother-****ers.
I like the pick.
I can see what our coaching staff is trying to put together here. I didn't see it recently, but i'm seeing the roster they are trying to build and the philosophy behind it.
Regardless of what our armchair GM's on these boards think, it was a good pick.
I have spoken.

I was honestly a little pissed off last night cause i stayed up till 11:30 knowing i had to get up early in the morning for a work meeting and nothing much happened in the first round, but now that i had a chance to catch some zzzzzzzzzzz's in the office this morning, i'm feeling good about what Beane did last night.
He created some draft pick capital with great value and i'm sure he's got a plan going forward.

Alright, i'm weighing in on this.....
You're not wrong with what you're saying about Worthy. Reid is going to scheme the hell out of him and force D's into some bad decisions and positions, we all know that. Now, think of an O with Mahomo, Kelce, Pacheco, Worthy, etc......who does the D cover? They have added a weapon that will make it hard to defend on every square inch of the field and we have to hope that our HC can figure it out.
I know that right now it feels like KC is our daddy, however, let's let the rest of the draft play out and see what we're left with, is all i'm saying.

he’s saying they likely have 2-3 similar ranked guys and not someone head and shoulders above that they wouldn’t want to risk losing
some of you act like a trade up is just a button you push and not a human negotiation thoughI'm saying nothing of the sort. I was answering another question a poster had of why we didn't take Worthy......if our FO wanted him so badly, they would have traded up for him or did they really expect that he would fall to 28 and take him then.
I don't even know what the **** you're talking about?!?
-
All things considered, you can't say our FO didn't have their opportunities to make a big splash last night, however, if they feel their best value was in trading back for more picks, then i'm all for it.
They are probably fielding a lot of phone calls this morning anyways, so let's see how it all plays out.
-
I've got 2 questionable ones.....
* Miami picking Chop......now, i have no problem with this pick, however, i was sure he would have been one of the guys to fall into the 2nd round as he is a little raw and a bit of a project, albeit with coachable skills, i just had a feeling he would drop
* Atlanta......nothing more needs to be said here

Bills clearly wanted Brian Thomas based on the vibes of Beane's Press Conference late last night.
Not sure who else went before us that we would have wanted.
Well, i don't know about that, man.
If they wanted him, they could have made a play for him or did they really expect he would drop to 28?
-
Am i the only one thinking that NE may have got the best value at QB last night?.......Maye has got a lot of upside and coachable skills. I wanted him to go anywhere, but the AFCEast. The rest of the QB's taken off the board last night don't concern me, however, if Maye manages to put it all together (maybe not this year cause he won't have much of a team around him, so a couple of years on the bench might do him some good while they build a complimentary roster).........i don't know, i don't like this pick one bit.
And anyone who wants to make the Mac Jones 2.0 comparison is wrong......this guy has got loads more talent than Mac and Cheese.

Just curious, my friend. Are you the kind of person that reads the first paragraph of a book and says "Nope, this book is bad" and tosses it aside? Or watch 5 minutes of a movie and say..."Wow, what a dud" and turn it off?
Instead of reaching on a WR or S/CB or DT that they didn't likely have valued at a round 1 pick they used round 1 to set up round 2. Let the day play out today. It could very possibly turn out bad, sure. But where we had 1 day 2 pick we now have 3 and the ammunition to slide as far up as we want at any given time. And I don't think they are done moving back. I don't see them picking at 33. I'm saying they make another small trade back with Washington and increase their pick value even more before unleashing hades on the next 2 rounds.
Dude, i got wicked ADHD and can barely make it through reading the first sentence of anything before my mind goes in 12 different directions (as you may or may not have seen in my previous posts where i begin with one thought and end up completely off the tracks).
I have no problem with what our FO did last night. I'm just saying that i was hoping for a little more sizzle in the pan in the first round from any franchise last night.....that's it.
I went into it expecting trades, wheeling and dealing, franchises in shambles, crying, picking up the broken pieces, etc......i saw a predictable 1st round and there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm the type of guy that hangs out around the highway overpass, just waiting for 2 cars to collide......it never happens, but it could.......maybe one day, it could. Same thing with the first round of every draft, just waiting for something big to happen......

......across the board, it was a very safe, predictable first round

A dud…after one round? That’s wild.
round 1 for me was a dud.........i didn't say the whole draft............round 1
-
So, this draft actually kind of fell just about where everyone thought it would......except the Bills not making a move for a WR, Penix going to the Falcons (still a head scratcher), but regardless, not a whole lot of surprises or teams jockeying for position.
I was hoping for the draft of a lifetime..........in my opinion, this day one was a dud.
-
A couple of things.....
* This is no place to be reasonable
* I have no idea what the FO is planning.......and neither do you
* I imagine somewhere, someone has a plan
* It made me sick that i stayed up till 11:30 last night to watch a Bills pick that didn't happen
* That is all......carry on

I can't really say if i like what he did in the 1st round cause i don't even know what he did.
Traded our spots in the 1st, twice for zero picks in the first but got his 3rd rounder and stockpiled 5ths?..........is that right?

I don't feel bad for Cousins, i feel bad for Penix........if they sit him behind Cousins for a couple of years, Penix could essentially be like 27 by the time he ever sees the field.
This, in my opinion is a very bad move by the Falcons.

This is the last time I'll say this for a while, after having said it a thousand times this offseason: I'm sick of no other difference makers stepping up for the Bills in big playoff moments. I'm sick of the Bills hitting singles and doubles in the draft, but never home runs.
I'm ready to swing for the fences and try to add a potential superstar to this team. I'm ready to see Rome Odunze catch a toe-tapping, game winning touchdown to beat the Chiefs and advance to the AFCCG, and I don't mind losing out on a safety and a couple backup d-linemen in order to make it happen.
I know I won't win any new converts to my way of thinking, but I'm not feeling at all risk averse this year. Bring on the risk. Bring on a blue chipper. Let's do this thing.You know, i was the biggest supporter of just letting the board fall to us and see what's left, but i'm leaning towards swinging for the fences this year. I mean, what we've been doing hasn't been working to get us over the hump, so let's try something different.
Here's what i'm thinking.......i think i would rather swing for the fences or swing for that homerun and have a miss, than not swing at all or just go after middle of the road, mediocre and take no step forward in the team's progression.
Stagnant is stagnant, no matter how you cut it.
We gotta elevate this team to the next level and that's why i'm kind of leaning a little more to making a splash this draft.
