I mean all GMs take into account the thoughts and wants of the HC, at least the good GM's. Nothing worse than a GM forcing players that don't fit the mold of what the HC wants and utilizes in the team and style he runs.
But make no mistake about it, Beane makes the final calls, makes the decisions on making moves up or down, etc. Beane runs this draft, and McD runs the team how he wants without meddling by Beane once the players are on the roster. They will always collaborate their thoughts on needs, free agents, draft picks, etc.
Im not trying to say that Beane has to run every trade request through McD ..
My point is that Beane and McD have spoken in advance of which players they are going to pick … and Beane is not taking a guy that McD hasn’t approved ..maybe he doesn’t care come the 6th/7th … but geez …he seems pretty animated about SVPG in the 5th … like an hour before they make the pick
On the flip side … Im sure MCD consults with Beane about his coaching hires… and he is not taking a guy that Beane doesn’t want … it’s just a professional courtesy between the two of them ..

It's been obvious since Beane arrived. This is a collaboration. I loved in the video how Beane was picking the brains of the assistant coaches to Garner their input.
However …some say that Beane makes the Draft calls …I think Beane and MCDermott have collaborated and agreed the picks in advance and Beane is not taking a player that McD hasn’t ticked the box on … at least not until late Day 3…

I think they both were in agreement Van Pran would be a target.
Yes … exactly my point… they have agreed the players they want..-

Beane said in that round they would go Davis first, then Van Pran.
Yes .. after McD said ( he is talking to someone else) “we need Van Pran”…-

Anyone who continues to think that McD secretly runs the draft is just foolish.
I don’t know about McDermott “running the draft “… but he has certainly pre approved the guys they are interested in .., he calls Van Pran out before they have even taken Davis …-

But they are Brandon Beane's decisions.
Which McD has to approve-

The draft is personnel decisions. They are Brandon Beane's. The people who think McDermott is in the background making every decision are wrong. He has input. But the personnel decisions are not him.
We are going around in circles .. McD ticks the box on the draft picks-

I’m talking about the draft…not the roster … -

Yes. But Brandon Beane is in charge of personnel. He makes the calls. If we want to talk about the draft McDermott did run we found Tre White (all pro), Dion Dawkins (7 year starter) and Matt Milano (all pro). The drafts since then have been run by Brandon Beane and for good - and there has been a fair amount of good - and ill he is responsible for the selections.
I have little doubt that McDermott has not at least “ticked the box” on the picks …particularly the first two days ..Beane isn’t taking a guy if McDernott doesn’t want him ..In relation to this year .. Bishop and Carter … such McDernott guys …

McDermott didn't draft anybody. Beane did.
Do you think they talk about it beforehand ?They are an office apart … and the draft is pretty important

This is his plan.
You liking it ? -
You know… when the Bills got rid of Diggs .. I was sure that Beane had a plan to replace him with another “name” guy prior to the 2024 season
With the draft in the rear view mirror …I’m beginning to think this might not now happen 🤔

Looking good guys ..

Can’t have enough Linebackers … right?
-
The Edge rotational line up is extremely weak …
If Von is still the stiff , statue like guy that Tackles could deflect with one hand like last year ..they are in trouble…

LT: Dawkins (He is 29, so i don't see him dropping off a cliff anytime soon and his contract is super adjustable with large 26, and 27 base salaries)
Dawkins is 30…realistically he has 2-3 years .. -

I didn’t say we were going to get rid of him but look at the escalation of salaries for RTs. You’re looking at between 15-20 Mill AAV for Brown.
Dawkins might be gone in 2026 …certainly they aren’t paying him what he signed for come 2027..
Like I said before … if Browns play warrants it … extend him …
They have had years of bad play at this position…

There are still a number of positions that could be fortified with some Post June 1st free agent signings.
I think Quinton Morris, KJ Hamler, Toohill, and Ingram are just placeholders for now.
They love Morris … I have little doubt be makes the 53-

2024 Draft Embedded--Has Dropped.
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
We don’t hear the full context … perhaps the underling has suggested taking someone else after Davis and McD is setting him straight…
