Finally, a nice pick for the good guys. We needed that in the worst way.

Is Beane trying to reinvent the wheel with theses picks. Why the hell would he trade up for Sanders. Guaranteed he would have been there at 56, or 62. Beane sucked the enjoyment out of our draft. There were 2 guys on South Carolina better than Sanders.

I may be a bit harsh with the kid, but that’s what this stuff is all about. It’s sad that every reaction is disagreement. No one knows how this player will translate to the NFL. It’s already proven that good players can be drafted in later rounds(Benford, Johnson, Brady), my point was he wasn’t the best defensive back on the board or the best prospect. If he was available at 52 maybe.

And you know that how? Brady was better than Mahomes and got rid of the ball faster with better receivers and O-line.

Welcome to the world of truly loyal fans that can’t handle anything that might objectively criticize a preconceived narrative. Will Johnson was a better pick according to many. He would have been a top 5 pick before his injury. Bills fans can’t use injuries because Hairston had one too

That’s great but maybe you should have said he can draft defensive backs after the 4th round because those two examples of players no one wanted for 120 picks ,and 200 picks that worked out. The extension of Benford is worrisome though with his two rapid fire concussions. My issue is I would gone with the Michigan corner over Hairston if injuries don’t matter.

What do you go by? Did you watch the 5 games he played this season? You know about him being a bad tackler and trouble locating the ball downfield. Are these scouting taking bribes to downgrade prospects. Should we trust your analysis instead?

How about the scouting report that he’ll struggle with big receivers and needs to improve tackling and locating the ball downfield. That doesn’t sound like a 1st rounder. If you don’t care about injuries why wouldn’t you take the Michigan corner?

Was injured for most of the season, trouble locating the ball downfield and is not great at tackling. Scouting report indicates he will struggle with big receivers. This guy’s not a first rounder. What happened to the big swing with the extra pick. Between his insistence on alienating Cook and this wasted pick, I’m hoping Beane’ stubbornness and the fact he can’t draft defensive backs is his only weakness. Having Elam and Bishop on his resume doesn’t instill confidence.

He might’ve done it last year when Brady mindlessly left him off the field for the last two series. Watch the TD on 4th down by Cook in the fourth quarter and then watch the play calling on the last two series, then you’ll know who to blame for not getting over the hump. Throw the ball to Cooper on a bubble screen and then let a free rusher overwhelm Josh on 4th down so he has to just throw it up for grabs. Cook was fine the whole postseason.

You seem like a good fan and at least appreciate what Cook has given us. He’s already said he’s playing this season. Remember Cook is quiet, humble team guy who is not a me first individual. He’s got a short window to get paid at a position that can go sideways at the drop of a hat. Maybe his agent is desperate for Beane to make a reasonable offer, but I don’t fault him for asking to be resigned.

These oblivious Cook detractors will appreciate him when he puts another team over the top after they let him walk or trade him. Sadly they’re getting their cues from our GM who is making a great young talent feel like he is not valued. Beane should just look back on our history of pedestrian RBs that came in with hype and never distinguished themselves. Finally we have a great QB and good O-line, perfect scenario for an explosive back to create real defensive challenges and fans want a rookie or FA journeyman to kill the whole ideology. Oh well, being a Bills fan tests your pain tolerance.

First thing, Barkley is making over 20 million a season and Cook is asking for 15. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t play for less if Beane offered a bit less. He’s not asking for Barkley money, he could be had for 42 for 3 years. Those backs either were older, headcases( Bell)or washed as their performance nosedived after sitting out. What is this ridiculous idea he’s a 2 down back? He’s had 3 different OCs in his 3 seasons and because we have Ty Johnson( who’s arguably the best 3rd down back in football) he’s been deployed that way. Remember he had over a thousand yds on precious few carries (208) with 16 TDs. He had over 400 yds receiving. He’s a matchup nightmare in the passing game and can take it to the house whenever he touches the ball. He’s only 25 coming into his prime. We can’t replace this guy with an untested rookie and you’ll see him be better this year and be worth more. Relax, he skipped a voluntary OTA. Josh should be demanding they make more of an effort to sign him after Beane signed those PED lineman, Rousseau, Bernard , Bosa and a Corner that is a concussion away from being forced out of football.

Don’t lump in dumpster diving pedestrian journeyman in comparison to Cook. He had over a thousand yards in 200 carries and scored 16 touchdowns. With one of the premier 3rd down backs in Johnson and the fact that Brady may have killed us against KC by not playing Cook the last two series, be careful what you wish for. Josh should be actively pushing for Beane to negotiate with this guy. Remember RBs have 6 year careers if they’re great. By signing Rousseau,who stinks in the postseason and dishing out big money to PED guys for 11 game seasons, what should arguably the best back in the AFC do at 25 years old.

Great signing, Tre is 2 years removed from his surgery and looked healthy in the playoffs with the Ravens. We need an experienced CB and he’ll be a leader on the defense with his Bills background. I think he has plenty left.With a quality 2nd or 3rd rd. CB, and a penetrating DT that will be an anchor for our D-line all of a sudden we have filled all of our defensive needs.
