Yeah looking at the trade details now we gave up way too much for this too. So much for that other second round pick. WTF?

Well apart from Josh Allen, we have a huge track record of blowing pics. This is usually the mantra of the drought years time and time again we would bemoan picks and were almost often right.

Yeah we need a one technique dude. We have three three techniques on the roster right now.

There was zero need to trade up for this guy.

I just don't get it

The way I see it is I said my piece about wanting another guy but now that this guy is a bill it's time to flip a switch and support the him. Hopefully he's a great Bill, legendary corner and I am totally wrong. It's also the name of the game for Bill's drafts. The whole draft will tell the big picture and this could be still a great draft. At a minimum we got a cornerback and we needed a cornerback. I don't want to overblow his faults and nickel and dime him to death. I've been wrong so many times before! And in beane we trust....

I preferred Shavon Ravel. I like his story rather than these portal mad SEC guys. Plus bigger and more balanced. Give me a guy who worked at an Amazon warehouse, not some NAL dude w nothing to lose.

I'm more worried about the Ravens and yes- the Chiefs. The chiefs ran all over us.

The bills draft a guy smaller and worse at tackling than Elam was. I don't like to pick as I said I'm just very dubious of some SEC players in this day and age a lot of coddling and I'm going to question how hard they're going to work especially pouring to cold weather. I saw a few Kentucky games and hairston never really stood out to me. A lot of the analysis by the bills guys like Joe Marino, Chopin bulldog. I just didn't think hairston was a scheme fit for us. A weak tackler. A weak tackler somewhat undersized more accustomed to man. I think I recalled Joe Marino saying just recently that Amos was much better fit than hairston. And so I don't like to pick. I probably would have The South Carolina safety. He's an undeniable athlete, a predator in the backfield. I don't think there's anyone of that talent that was available. Safety is a sneaky need and our defense has not been good since we had elite safeties. I get the good DT s were off the board again. Why didn't we move up to get one? Even staying put , we could have wound up with the best safety in this draft. Instead we get probably the 4th or fifth Best corner. It feels like the elam picked to me and I know know we can't be traumatized by that, but that's how I feel. .

Guys, I hate the pic coddled SEC player small weak against the run. Just dislike all around, especially considering who was on the board still.

Colts draft the tight end. I like the player but man they have bigger needs.

Graham looks a little soft Graham looks a little soft

What a bad move. The jaguars would have needed that pic next year to draft a quarterback. Lawrence not the guy and there's a lot of holes on that team. They aren't close and they can't give up Capital like that. Just a terrible move Oh by the way for a gadget guy who yes is talented but literally no one has ever done what this guy is seeking to do. I'm going to bet the under and say that he's going to be either a wide receiver or a cb eventually

Dumb move by the jags Lawrence is not the guy and they are not one gadget player away. Terrible. Terrible move

Nervous about SEC players, especially the bigger schools. Very coddled, big $$ already in banks, and mostly from warm weather. Already used to portal and moving around at whim. These guys are dreaming of Miami and LA and Buffalo will be an ordeal to them. At least most Big ten guys have dealt w cold weather. I'm sure there are exceptions here, but I have trouble accepting it.

RIP

I take a shot at cam scattabo in round 4 We need a depth running back for special teams anyway. I could easily see us keeping an extra running back this year, especially given the uncertainty of Cook and hold out.

Listening to Ray Davis on on Bill's live today. What a breath of fresh air that guy is. Seems like another Fred Jackson. Just a heart and soul kind of guy. It really made me think it would be great if he can get a chance to be a number one back. I never thought I'd come around but I am not totally against trading. Cook just seems like a lot of trouble. I don't know what we would get for him. Maybe a fourth rounder. I honestly think you can replace the touchdown production. I think those were a byproduct of just the offense and working in the red zone. Another back can get some and then Ray Davis and ty Johnson can pick up the slack. In terms of the rushing and receiving yards. I think again the other two could pick up the slack with another back coming in. The big area cook produces is in yards per carry. So you look for a fast running back. Or you just get confident and go for a big muscle back is going to help you and go align. There are options in this draft for either position and behind our oline I think Chris Brown could run for 500 yds. Let's also add that in a couple years we are going to need to pay some of these Ol a bit more money and having a big o-line is a lot more important than running backs. Osiris Torrance is going to be a top guard in the NFL.

Antoine Winfield ....it's not even close. The notion Tre White is on this list is just silly. He had 1-2 good years. Didn't Henry Jones play some CB?

I've heard wide opinion on the quality of CBs in the draft. Given the Bills usually like zone corners...I think we will find plenty of options.

Plus Milton was a 6th rounder himself. They basically got rid of him. Strange move.

I think it's a terrible move by the Pats. Let's also comment that they are acting like Maye had a legendary season, when he was only marginally above Trent Edwards or JP Losman first year starting kind of seasons. Granted, he showed a lot of promise....but for that measure of compensation might have been worth keeping Milton around another season.

Yeah, I agree I don't know what the Pats did. I do know the injury was 4 months ago and him being in any condition to give a viable physical is unlikely. All sorts of mistakes happen in FA and player signings. It wouldn't be out of the realm that an already declining player in fact declines more from one of the more serious NFL injuries that typical has a recovery time of 10-12 months. ( Google tells me 6-12, but I think this is so rare) . I know that Diggs was a good player, who thrived off hard cuts in routes to gain separation. Not crazy to suspect age and injury may hamper him. We all just saw how Von looked in year 1 back from the ACL and that was lousy. Took Von 18-20 months to get better.

There's no way he is fully recovered. Probably a physical to see if he's on track healing but not a full all systems go work out.

What a mistake...3 year deal for a declining player coming off and ACL? Locker room? Young QB? Terrible move.
