No_Matter_What

Agreed. And that to me sounds like a bad decision given the state of our roster.

I've never been more disappointed by the Bills draft pick. To me it just doesn't make any sense. There are 3 reasons for it: 1. General consensus. I hate when GMs try to outsmart everybody. Guy wasn't in top 100 in any board I've seen except PFN - that is the only reason I knew about him. Now I know that media personalities and various sport sites are not NFL scouts, but still - those are also guys who do this for a living in some capacity. You just can't be smarter than everybody. That is why Cole Strange is a bad pick no matter what, and why Terrel Bernard is a bad pick no matter what. Yes, he was a bad pick even if he pans out better than expected. It is like in poker - even bad decision can (and often does) result in a huge win. But to win longterm, you need to make good decisions. Reaching because you see something what nobody else does is not a way how to build a roster. Reaching for a non-premium position even more so. 2. Resource allocation. 1st round CB is a great resource allocation. 2nd round RB not so much, especially if it is 3rd RB picked in the first 3 rounds in 4 years. But OK, I can live with it. But LB in the 3rd round when we haven't drafted a single WR (or have drafted a single one, if we count Diggs) in last 5 years? With 40+M cap hits of Allen and lot of other expensive players we need to have steady influx of cheap WR, CB, DE and OL talent. And as for WR, second year in a row we failed to do it. I think it doesn't make any sense, especially with so much talent being on the board in 2nd and 3rd round. And it really seems like we haven't even tried. I don't get it. Same with OL. Beane told us that protecting Josh is a big priority - well then we need to draft accordingly. 3. Player himself. Since we drafted him, I haven't read a single thing about him which would make me feel better. At best he seems to be a LB depth. If we wanted another Milano, then why don't take a shot in 5th or something, just as with Milano? Besides, we already have Milano and he isn't going anywhere at least next 2 years. Is there any indication that this guy could take over Edmunds in case we let him walk? If not, what is the point of drafting a guy like him so high? Did we really need a player who might fill Klein's role (i.e. role of primary backup who never sees field if both starters are healthy) to be drafted this high? To be clear, I love this regime and have full confidence in them. But this is the first time I absolutely don't get what they did. Every year from now on it will be harder and harder to keep a good team together due to cap reasons, and drafting gyus like this doesn't seem to be a way to go for me. I hope they prove me wrong though.

Parnham, Rhyan and Cross went shortly after Bernard pick and were much higher on every board I saw. Interesting and weird.

How many times have you mocked him to us in the 3rd?

@GunnerBill Say what you want Kyle was amazing. Now somebody tell me what should I think about the pick

Name sounds Billsy. I can see it.

Sort of fits our positional needs except of QBs and DT.

89 was always our pick. 57+32

Now show it without Dean, QBs and DL

Best OL or WR available

It's @IronMaidenBills

Well but how is this possible if there was supposed to be a ton of Day 2 talent?

Spot on. I wanted a WR, but it was pretty obvious that it wasn't in the Bills plan. Not sure I like it, but thats the way it was. So saying that some WRs run killed us is just not what happened.

Or it means that we have lot of guys graded closely. Like those 5 or 6 LBs

Nice run on WRs ☹ Ok with 2 picks to go I want Tolbert or any OL. I am expecting Anderson, Muma, other LB or S Nick Cross. If we want a LB, I hope we trade down.

The Patriots are killing this draft!

Yeah but why would we do that? It would cost 3rd round still. I think it is developing nicely so far. Let draft come to us.

Check out on which post I reacted.

Too soon to state this. We are still 16 picks away. But so far so good.

It"s amazing to me how people are not able to google simple NFL draft value chart and act like 6th and 7th round picks can help you make jumps in the 2nd round.

Way to be a Bills fan for sure.

lol what a fitting ending

Just give me a WR today.

This list scares me. No WRs

Yeah but you also expect them to take a shot on TE somewhere, they scouted tons of LBs, S is in play due to Poyer situation, RB would be nice and speed at WR is a major need That is why I am sad over that 4th round pick*. People say its worthless and that we have many rosters spots nevertheless but I disagree - we have no problem to fit 4th round LB/TE/RB/S to the roster. Anyway, I find it really interesting that we have little clue what they will do. All those meetings suggest LB/TE, but I'd argue WR+IOL make more sense. I can also see them drafting a RB or S. My dream scenario is probably WR in 2nd and G in 3rd. If they really want a LB, then make it WR+LB and somehow find possible starter at G in the 5th. *To be clear I trust them on Elam and have no problem with the trade up if they had any intel or just a bad feeling that Dalls may take him or somebody might jump them.
