Allen2Moulds

I can't dispute that, but conveniently it seems that Beane's BPA is always the biggest hole on our roster. He does great in the late rounds. If he can't stop skewing his grade by need, I believe it would go even better.

I agree. If Beane stops trying to force the pick, and just sticks to BPA, he hit more homeruns on day 1 or 2 of the draft.

WOW....I never want to here another Burrow/Allen comparison. This guy gets hurt every other year, and last year didn't make the playoffs.

Report that Burrow was spotted in a walking boot, and also with crutches. Seems like a lot for just a toe Injury, but I'm no doctor.

I just purchased mine from Fanatics. They have 2 different versions, the more expensive of the 2 is $189.00. Not really sure what the difference is between the cheaper version, so they suckered me into getting the one for $189.00.

Too many for me to keep track, but I like your list. The Robert Foster one, is still the most insane throw I've ever seen. It looks like a house collapsed onto Josh, but he was still able to throw it 50-60 yards in the air.

I can't remember a game, where Ed had this many impactful plays. I won't say best, because we were so God awful against the run, it has to factor in.

Rapp is not starting material. I know Bishop gets bashed a lot, but at least he's only a year 2 player.

I know that we have issues at safety, but last night had a lot more to do with our front 7. I also will not crucify Bishop, because he got put to the ground by Henry. The fact that Henry made it to the second level untouched, full speed ahead, was again, a front 7 issue. This team loves Rapp, and unfortunately, we are stuck with him. I love Rapp as backup safety, but not as a starter. His physical limitations are painfully obvious. As the other poster wrote on here, I would also rather live with some mistakes from Bishop, and pair him up with Hancock. Rapp is who he is.

The one thing I don't understand about the construction of this roster, is the lack of size on the dline, and the lack of speed on the back end. This has been a glaring problem for many years now. Hopefully the rookies develop as the year go on and become factors in the playoffs. That being said, I understand that Mad Max is extremely fast, and he could certainly add some to the back end, but Dorian Strong was far from the problem last night. Rapp is average size, but extremely slow. Bishop is faster, but lacks play recognition, and is a very slight build. I'm holding out hope, that we hit on another late round gem, with Hancock at safety. He seems to have a better pedigree than both Rapp and Bishop. The rookies also need to develop as the year goes, and hopefully becomes a factor by playoff time. The last thing I'm hopeful about, is the Hoect signing. Maybe he'll be part of a big package, in that Lorenzo Alexander type of hybrid OLB/DE role. Only time well tell. I am happy with what I saw from Kincaid and Coleman. The 2 guys with the most pressure to step up on the offensive side of the ball.

I love what I saw last night. It matches the offseason buzz. Let's keep it going and see if he can string a few good games together. I'm hopeful that he can/will.

I don't understand how Benford let old man D-Hop by him. Oh well, that kind of night for the defense.

3 straight runs by Cook, followed by 2 receiver screens. Not a fan. On the previous drive, on 2nd and short, I hate the run call. That's when it's best to take shot. Quit playing so timid. Josh Allen is your QB

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure we all watched the same game. Hurts constantly didn't like what he was seeing, and looked to tuck and run all night. AJ Brown didn't even have a target until late in the 4th quarter. He did get beat on the long pass down the seam, and do agree that his awareness could've been better, but where are the safety's on that play? It's one thing to be on the boundary with no safety help, because you have the sideline to aid you. Down the seam, with no safety help, that's almost an automatic completion.

Solid start for Elam. Still pulling for the young man.

It was a horrible idea to trade for the current odds on favorite to win DPOY, at the second most important position on the field.

For those that say that he isn't worth it. I really hope and pray when we play the likes of Mahomes and Burrow in the playoffs, they don't have all day to throw.

For those relieved it wasn't us, I have no words for you. I agree with 100% of this.

I agree with 100% of this.

I have high hopes for Mad Max. I think it's ok to be critical of Beane, with the understanding that expectations are sky high. We're trying to win a SB. He's certainly done a lot of things really well, but his also missed on a few. Even the best GM's have some swings and misses. I still believe that Beane's failures are directly tied to drafting for need, rather than BPA. No one here can convince me otherwise. That being said, I'm hopeful that his second go round goes much better than his 1st, when it comes to (G,CB, DL). 1st time around it was: Cody Ford (2nd) Bust Elam (1st) Bust. Boogie (2nd). Major bust 2nd time around O'Cyrus (2nd round) good pick Max Max (1st round) TBD, but already better than Elam at this point, although very limited time. TJ Sanders (TBD) but early signs are encouraging. Strong preseason/camp. I did not put Benford or Rosseau here, as I am only comparing similar picks when it comes to draft round/position.

I mostly agree, but would say that relative to value, AJE was a miss. Day 2 pick doesn't have to be a day one starter, but should be there by year 2 or 3 at latest. If Bishop starts and finishes as a starter, and were not looking to replace him, I would say that's a hit. If there's still a hole, it's a miss. I also should disclose that at this point, since we're chasing a Championship, I'm only comparing Beane to the top tier GMs in the league. No GM is perfect, and they all have their misses. Beanes last few 2nds have been better then his first 3.

Beane does a fantastic job in the later rounds. He obviously has an eye for NFL talent. I think he gets a bit lost sometimes in the earlier rounds, but I will also say that his 2nd round picks, seem to be improving. Cook, Cybo, Bishop (lets hope). His first 3 2nd round selections. Were Cody Ford, AJE, and Boogie Basham. AJE and Cody Ford are both playing like day 3 picks, and Boogie has no business being in the NFL.

Someone should take the controls from Beane during round 2. It has not gone well for him there. The exception is James Cook, but drafting a RB in Round 2, is almost cheating.

Flame away, but he was the guy that served as our closer vs. KC. Gave the offense a chance to win the game. Because if his size, people are frustrated that he can't be the answer to our pourus run defense, but he's been a good situational pass rusher that has made plays for us. Give me him over bust, Dewayne Carter.
