I do like both Elam and Cook, but I'm definitely frustrated that so many WR's I really liked were taken so much earlier than I thought they would go. I guess the upside is that positions like OL and LB are still stocked pretty well. Beane sees value, and is fishing for it. I get it... Man is more patient than I am.

Okay... Can SOMEONE start picking QB's, so maybe ANYONE drops to us?

I'm with you on this, @Buffalo Barbarian

I get the concept behind this pick. Duke Williams is a band-aid; Cook will be groomed under him. Moss is a goner.

At this point, Woolen might be wise. AFC is an arms race, and speed is the silver bullet. Who knows, though? An LB would be the value move.

Possibly. I guess. I feel like everyone colluded to keep WR out of our paws... I know... I know... It's not what happened, BUT it FEELS that way...

Trade down was smart, here. There are 7 LB's and zero WR...

Well, needs meets current available value... Not what I want, but probably the best move.

2022 Revenge Tour starts NOW... Screw both teams...

Back-to-back double-D-dips? I wouldn't meltdown.

Bellicheat's dog!

At least they can't take both!

I cannot answer that. I've got to speak with my Mom agent, first...

WTF?

A-flippin'-MEN, brother! I can say this, because it's thoroughly retrospective: Look at the CB's who are off the board, now... The only one left I would even want at 57 is Tariq Woolen, and we know he is a project, so I feel even better about the Elam pick. This I can say without jinxing the future, since the book on CB's is already pretty much written.

I want to say a thing about how things are going this round, thus far, but if I say the thing, I'll curse us... Instead, I will say Go Bills!

I would suspect this.

I am overjoyed! Thanks, @Jimmy Spagnola! Youse guys done gave us a gift!

I guess they don't despise Rogers, after all 🤷‍♂️

Pained sarcasm isn't acceptable any longer?

Being frustrated that 75% of the picks you deemed 1st round talents (out of one, needed position group) were made unavailable prior to your pick is dumb?

Very okay with missing out on McDuffie. Give me Gordon!

Whelp... Josh Allen better get really adept at throwing passes to himself... No 1st round WR left... #fail

To all my "RB in the 1st" people: I would agree with you, IF AND ONLY IF Tre White wasn't dinged up and going to miss some time at the beginning of the season. Based on the playoffs, it looks like the staff believes in Dane Jackson, at least enough not to panic and pull some old street FA onto the team for last year's run. I get that the RB room needs to improve, too; that's a fair judgement. Have any of you considered that RB performance is highly correlated with OL play? Have any of you considered that we ran a mish-mash of zone and gap last year, and didn't really start humming until we picked and stuck with one? Have any of you considered that we have Aaron "Beach Chair" Kromer back in the fold (ostentatiously, to defend our Buffalo beaches... I kid... I kid...), and that he's got a chance to re-make our OL, and help Dorsey design run fits and run play design? I have to weigh the lack of a stud CB in a pass-happy, juiced up AFC, versus a sub-par RB room which has some mitigating factors (i.e. Line coaching, run design, line play style) which could vastly improve our run game. When I do, CB comes out on top. I don't hate RB's. I see greater need at CB, and greater room for improvement on OL (which... Surprise surprise... makes a BIG impact on the run game).

A best version of Gilmore would lack fingers (for pointing who he thought should have made the play). Gilmore opted to keep his fingers. He likes pointing.
