Victory Formation

Oh how quickly we forget the 7-9 years of Ralph Wilson and Dick Jauron. Under McD/Beane they’ve built a perennial winner. How quickly we forget how McD broke the 17 year playoff in his first season here with Tyrod Taylor as his QB. Beane is also one of the better GMs in team history. Don’t forget how he aggressively traded up for Josh Allen in the 2018 draft, effectively blessing this team with one of our most talented players in team history at a crucial position. Did we lose some quality players? Yes, but be more specific. Was it the 34 year old Hyde? Or the 33 year old Poyer? The 32 year old Morse? Which players? Be more specific. Sure we’re in a bad spot cap wise, but that’s because we had to remove cancers from our team like Stefon Diggs, essentially forcing us to eat $33M in dead cap. The way I see it, Beane has stocked this team up with young, cheap talent which will alleviate any cap issues in the future. I understand that many are upset that we didn’t double dip at WR, but had we did double dip, it would have had to of been done really early to expect a meaningful impact. Would the outcome have been any different if we took Joe Schmo in RD4 than that of Justin Shorter that we took a year prior? In closing @H2o my brother, don’t forget to make a gratitude statement or at the very least acknowledge the good that Mr. Pegula, Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott have done for this franchise. Beane had arguably his best draft here outside of the 2018 Draft in which he took Josh Allen and do keep in mind that we have a flurry of picks stockpiled for next year (1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7).

A #1 WR is someone who makes plays when you need them and the game is on the line.

Solomon reminds me of Lorax for some reason. Maybe I’ll start calling him Baby Lorax from here on out.

Change of direction is arguably more important than straight line speed, especially with JA17 as your QB. Keon has great body control, which will likely be how he creates separation in the NFL. With his wingspan all Josh needs to do is throw the ball to the opposite side of the DB and let Keon edge them out. For the record, I’m not saying that Keon will be a good WR and I’m certainly not saying that he’ll be a bad one, this is simply how I see his “game” translating to the NFL.

This Bishop kid will pair nicely with Rapp, although I’m sure that Edward’s will fill in occasionally too. They both can play in the box, which I love.

It warms my heart to see that this FO/Coaching staff is making OL a huge priority. More bodyguards for Josh is never a bad thing. Now get him some more weapons too!

Why is he limited to Center? Isn’t OG easier to play?

This is Josh Allen’s team now. Before we had other leaders on the team: Hyde, Poyer, Morse and Diggs, so on.. Problem was is that these guys are all making a lot of money and they’re on the wrong side of 30. Beane essentially drafted 10-11 young guys making $300k/yr to replace them with rather than paying expensive FAs $6M/yr to do the same job. We have young, cheap depth for miles and miles now and our cap is well under control. I do think that we added some nice starting quality pieces as well, but only time will tell..

Nope, I’m not smarter than our GM. I hold Beane in high regards. He’s probably our best GM all time outside of Bill Polian.

He added three OL as well. If even one of those guys step up this line is set. A good draft overall, we have quality depth all over the place now.

I’d give Beane a B+ for this draft. I think overall he added a lot of nice, cheap, quality depth to this team, but did he add any quality game changers to this team like MHJ, Nabers or Odunze? I’m not saying he did, but I’m not saying he didn’t either. Beane essentially cut a bunch of old and overpriced players from the roster and added a bunch of youth. Well done, imo.

I’m thinking that they add a veteran sometime now or before the start of the season.

I hope we give up a 1st round pick to move back into the 7th round to take him.

I love all this depth that they’re adding on the OL.

Speed isn’t the only means to getting open.
