Player: Jerry Hughes. Like the guy. Disliked the penalties (some deserved some questionable) that he seemed to attract. And strongly disliked the whole "pressures are as good as sacks" argument that would spring up every year.
There's another version of me in some alternate timeline where all of Jerry's "almost sacks" actually got home and brought the QB down.
I'm a much happier person in that timeline.

Is there a Dolphins fan out there who doesn't think Allen is better than Tua? If so, what are they smoking?
I mean Tua did make the Pro Bowl over Josh last year 😂-

The refs can't hear the play by play people talking
They can't sway their opinion

I mean we've all seen it happen-- usually within the last two minutes of a game/half when the head coach can't "officially" challenge a call.
I'm being facetious when I say it's "because" of the announcer's making a big deal about it-- but the NFL is certainly tuned into these broadcasts behind the scenes and if the TV crew is pointing out a bad call, it stands to reason they'd be more inclined to intervene, no?
Or do the referees just get together on the field during two-minute breaks and muse amongst themselves whether they should be challenging their own calls?

Its because it's better to have a challenge left than not have one left when really need it.
How upsetting would it be if we had an awful call late in the 4th against the Bills and we didn't have any challenges left?
See but the thing is: as long as you have a timeout left you can call it and then wait for the announcers/ broadcast crews to start making a big stink about the call on the field.
If it's a truly borderline play, then they'll probably just review it-- challenge or not. I mean unless you're the Bills and Collinsworth is on the announce crew that game. But otherwise, it's a valid move 😅

At this point we've at least got to give some of the youth and dark horse FA's a chance to break out and see what they got.
What's the point of having guys like Shorter and Isabel on the roster if we just scoop up a big name that's gonna bury them ever further on the depth chart? It's a transition year anyway -- not ideal to be here in this situation but it is what it is and if by any chance we DID hit on any of these guys, we got to at least give them a fair shot to find out.

If they got one Chris Jones/TJ Watt type game changer out of all that investment it would probably have been enough for the Bills to win a Super Bowl. So at least partially, it was a matter of execution rather than philosophy.
100%
If even one of Beane’s defensive picks was a DPOY type of player, a guy who can change the game even when the opposition does everything they can to take him out of it? Probably we’d at least have a trip to the dance by now, if not have won it all.

It would've not only cost us this years draft, but also next years to go and get one of the big three at WR
The correct play was to then shift to reloading the roster and use the cap space and even better draft capital next season to go and get that big time player that can be a game changer.
Anyone who thinks we should have sold the farm for one of the top three would be groaning when the team has no young talent or depth once they falter yet again in the playoffs. We had a top WR and it didn't get us anything but playoff disappointment. You need a complete team with depth along with some playmakers to truly contend.
I think the plan is to retool this season, and then go all in in 2025 again with a big time addition on offense and defense. With a hopefully strong draft class this season, we will be in a prime spot to challenge again with another superbowl window wide open.
This is obviously a rebuild and reset year. I’m not saying we should have swung for the fences, but did we add the right prospects to have the strongest chance at top-shelf production? That remains to be seen.
This was a very McBeane draft, and to this point they’ve been great at adding JAG starters and tier 2 or tier 3 guys. Really the only truly elite player they’ve drafted is Allen. (It’s debatable but Tre might have been that guy too, if injuries didn’t derail his trajectory).
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll probably get what you’ve always got. I like this draft myself - in theory.
But I’ve liked a lot of McBeane drafts in theory and ended up very underwhelmed with the results. 🤷♂️

Not for nothing, but just about every draft pick in history was “promising” at one point in time, lol. Can’t say this lot is any more or less so in that regard, but I’ll give you that he definitely spread the love to multiple positions of need.

what role was Hardy supposed to provide in 2023 grasshopper?
And how’d that work out?
Also, one guy who snags just 13% of your team’s offensive snaps isn’t much of a commitment to over the top speed. You disagree?

I get all that. And I now understand the Coleman pick. My problem with the Coleman pick is that the Bills biggest flaw on offense, besides separation is that they have been unable to replace John Brown. A high double shell buster would open up everything underneath and the middle.
“Game-breaking speed is overrated”, that’s what gran-papi used to say and he was a fella who knew about these things! -

When the Bills decided to go young and start a roster reset, I had hope that Beane was gonna try to do things differently, since the old way he was doing things didn't get the Bills over the hump. They've been hitting too man singles and doubles over the years and not enough home runs. Instead, he appears to be doing things exactly the same way this time around.
They don’t call it a “process” for nothing.
Only question is whether you still trust it at this point… But love em or hate em, McBeane sure do stick to it.-

Stud OT's? He was like the 12th OT off the board
But he’s going to a team where he can false start 90% of his snaps each game, so odds are in his favor to excel there-

Yeah but a guy upthread said he sucks...and that guy probably knows since he is a poster on a message board.
The first three posts I read on here about him were “anyone but Coleman” so now he’s ruined for me. 😭 -

We have definitely been lacking in the “go up and get it department”, and for quite some time now.
If he can be that kind of guy, Josh will throw it up for him a dozen times a game.

I don’t think any of them, unfortunately. We missed our window.
We have to get lucky. But even still, I’ll roll on a 10% chance for a star in a Franklin over a 50% chance for a star in Cooper.
I mean that’s just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
This team needs top shelf talent, man. We need all pro level players that are t Josh Allen. I’ll take it at any position, even punter (tho not at this draft pick, obviously lol)

You could put a prime Ronnie Lott on the Bills and he would make less difference than a solid #2 WR. Remember, we not only lost Diggs. We also lost Gabe Davis. Beane created a huge hole and now he has to fill it.
I agree, but the draft isn’t over after pick 33.
If we take Dejean here and still get someone like Franklin later in the second, thats the better combination of value based on what’s left, you have to agree with that. If we’ve waited until now, we can still add a player soon-ish.
We already missed out on the top end prospects. No undoing that. Now we make the best of what’s left.

“Realistically has a chance” or “likely?”
I’ll be completely honest man. I’m at the point where I’d take a “realistically has a chance to be a top 10 WR” over “likely one of the best safeties in football.” That’s how much the value difference is.
We did the all-Pro DB room thing already.
Id take a realistic chance at a top 10 wide receiver too. Personally I would have loved to leap frog Jax for BTJ, but well here we are.
Which of the remaining prospects is more likely to be a stud receiver than Dejean is to be a stud DB? And I’m not trying to be snarky, I’m honestly curious who you value at that level?

WR’s make more difference than safeties. The 10th best WR in football makes more of a difference than the 2nd best safety.
Haha, but even if that’s true.. Dejean seems like he realistically has a chance to be the 2nd best safety in football. Especially in this defense.
Which of the remaining wide receivers seems likely to be a top 10 WR?

People have not gone crazy. It's obvious.
We have Curtis Samuel, Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins. That's really it.
Even with all the defensive injuries last year, we beat KC in the playoffs if we weren't down to a checked-out Diggs and Trent Sherfield as our two weapons spazzing out all game while Shakir was the only one doing anything.
WR matters so, sooo much more than a starting Safety or some rotational DL.
Nobody has gone crazy. We've seen this team neglect WR year in/year out, and we've now seen it bite us when it matters most two years in a row.
It’s crazy if you would rather the team reach for a suboptimal prospect instead of taking one with much higher potential to make a difference.
Beane’s miscalculations at WR up to now is not a good reason to want to see him make another potential error.
I mean if you’ve got a strong and high opinion on the remaining WR prospects, I get it. And that’s fine.
But if I’m looking at it pragmatically, I’m not picking WR at 33 just to do it. We’re obviously going to add bodies to this position in this draft, but I’ve got no problem if they wait until 60 or move up from 60 to do it. It’s same difference to me.

This makes a lot of sense. Hard to see them going WR at 33 but hope I'm wrong.
Trade down also seems very likely.
I feel like people have gone a little crazy all off-season honing in on WR. Yes that’s an obvious needs, but we need a lot of help at several positions, including DB.
Just take the best player. We need top shelf players more than anything else. If Dejean can perform at an elite level in the McD system, I’d take that over the 7th or 8th best WR prospect.

Then let KC trade Mahomes for that hypothetical trade package.
Scary thing is that if any team could recover from that level of stupidity, KC is probably the one team that could. Andy Reid has always maximized the talents of his QB's, and with that many picks they'd find him someone who could execute his offense with at least a Donovan McNabb/ Alex Smith type of production.
