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.

Beane is a flat earther... Come on, guys; Bobby Hart is proof. Dude is the high priest of NFL flat earthers. It's simple logic.

Thanks for the share! I was watching some film on these guys, McCall especially, seeing as IDL still could use a little beef. Loved what I saw, until the Combine interview: Dude is from Detroit, but he is a Pat******S fan, and he loves Tom Brady... No thanks. Hard pass.

I mean, what if he had missed? He would have would up like Tyrod

Live footage of Beane, right now:

Did I use that correctly?

It may well have factored in.

To his credit, PFF can't ding him for a sack, if he doesn't have anybody to block. It sounds like Spain has been playing 4-D chess, all along 🤔

Good on Mongo. He gets a pay bump, moving in to C, and sticks with Bobby J. Happy Trails, Mongo!

Phew! I was on the XC team in HS. I think I'm safe.

@WarcoderedYou ain't kidding! My grandparents retired in the Carolinas. I visited three times. I've had to block Beane's texts!

I REALLY want Jelani Woods. May need to trade up into the 3rd, using some of our late-rounders, to nab him, though. He seems to slot between our 2nd and 3rd picks, in a LOT of the mocks I've run.

@Rhode Island Red Nah, they'd be battling over Utica Club; let's not give them too much credit, now.

Fair enough, LOL!

As if the concept of Russ Brandon weren't creepy enough, ya had to go and let me know that he's lurking under the SJF bleachers? God... Now I can't even go to training camp 😭

I probably trusted FanSpeak's rankings more than I should have; Not seeing Watson in that area, I didn't think they possibly could have ranked him so low... Therein lay my miscalculation.

We know Beas is as much as gone. Davis and Diggs are here. I took Austin because his skillset met the need.

FanSpeak On the Clock 25: R1 P25 CB Trent McDuffie - Washington 57: R2 P25 DL Perrion Winfrey - Oklahoma 89: R3 P25 RB Breece Hall - Iowa State 129: R4 P25 WR Calvin Austin III - Memphis 168: R5 P25 G Chris Paul - Tulsa 184: R6 P6 WR Christian Watson - North Dakota State 202: R6 P24 QB Skylar Thompson - Kansas State 229: R7 P10 P Matt Araiza - San Diego State 244: R7 P25 DL Damion Daniels - Nebraska I don't know how Christian Watson was there in the 6th. Skylar Thompson is raw as hell, but we need bodies in the QB room, and the dude has wheels and a big arm; just needs time on task. At least his skillset wouldn't necessitate a dramatic offensive shift, if 17 went down. I thought Breece Hall in the 3rd was a steal. Araiza takes care of our punting woes. Calvin Austin replaces Beas. Winfrey is a big interior help. McDuffie could start day 1, while Trey recovers. Paul can work his way into Guard rotation. Would have taken a TE with the last pick, but Daniels was sticking out like a sore, thumb, Gilliam is serviceable, TD Doyle was used as a blocking TE for the tail end of the season, and he did actually catch a pass... Maybe we land TE in FA? I dunno... I would take this draft, for sure.

Jelani Woods - TE - Virginia

@billsbackto81 & @Miyagi-Do Karate I was going to say that if Daboll believes Trubisky will be an upgrade to Jones, then that's good news for us. Bring on the bidding war!
