As everyone knows, Josh needs to step up this year, that’s a given. That, and good coaches are supposed to taylor their schemes to fit their players skill set (LJ), I will admit that at times I feel Daboll loses sight of this concept, maybe our GM & HC have had a chat with him, and as well stress heavily to the offense that execution is paramount to winning the division and more...?
I do believe that we have ample capacity on this team to achieve these and other things... not because they are easy, but because they are hard, ask not what your team can do for you, but what you can do for your team... I’m shooting for the moon baby!!! ??
Go Bills!!!

Just a Bills fan trying really hard to find something wrong with the Jets first round pick... that's all. Not much to see.
We are supposed to bust our opponents chops on a regular basis, that’s how sports work. So if their pick is a fat guy stoner he gets teased about ??
Go Bills!!!

Strict BPA is also stupid and no one would do it. Would you draft 5 RB's if they all happened to be the best player on the board?
Some posters here swear by strict BPA, even though it never actually happens. I’ve said it repeatedly, all player acquisitions are need driven, more specifically, scheme need driven, but fan opinions are like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you’re gonna get.
Go Bills!!!

I'd suggest listening to McBeane. They have been pretty good at doing what they say. They say they are building for sustained long term success.
Their intention is to be the Pats, not the Falcons, Packers, Chatgers or Saints.
That is how I see their intent as well.

Where do I begin? We missed out on all the good QBs and all the good offensive linemen? The Stud DBs and Wrs?
The Bills used their first pick to get a stud WR. Would you rather they had finished near the bottom so they could have draftet another QB ? What do you think teams who make the playoffs do? They don't get the top players. They already have them. We already have a stud DB. We have a solid line already. How were they supposed to get one of the top ones? By osmosis?
What kind of draft is this? It's the draft of a team who is already very good and is not in a position to draft the top players.
You're all over the place in your comments. You're not making sense. The draft is obviously not as exciting when You're not near the bottom each year. Do you want to go back to that?
You might want to re read it with a different eye ? it seems to have gone over your head just a wee bit.
nuthin but luv ??Go Bills!!!

After watching the highlights I will state he is definitely a good athlete but the ability to get off the line is huge at the next level and I don't know how to judge it when some of the lineman were clearly so overmatched.
That is always an issue when judging college players, look at Ed O he dominated in college but it is a big transition to the pro game, Ed is doing well imo but it took a few games for him to start to show more frequently, the same is likely for A.J. I trust Beane and his teams judgement.

And this says he is not quite JJ Watt. I will take almost JJWatt. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2878147-nfl-scouting-combine-notebook-did-aj-epenesa-crater-his-draft-stock
Watching video tonight, the guy plays like a monster.
That body and that attitude. Looks like a great value at 58. Goodness
He sure looks the part doesn’t he, ?

And he was available at 58 why? Quickness?
I read a while back he had slow feet or some such a thing, he appears to be athletic enough and reasonably quick/fast, and had a successful college career, we shall see how he adapts as a pro. Good scheme need pick imo.

well, they’ll have to come up with more ‘creative medical diagnosis’ again, following the final preseason game..
Never ceases to amaze me how promising, late Round rookies get “injured” significantly enough following the last preseason game that they’re ‘lost for the year’, yet never any update on their ‘rehab’ nor League investigations...?
So true, the league just doesn’t want to know, la la la la, I’m not listening... did you say ratings... ?

17 straight games played for 2018 to 2019, this man is not hurt anymore.
Why, he played 17 straight games from end of 2018 to 2019?
So they can keep him and get him healthier and not have him count towards the 53, like they did with Vosean this past year.
Go Bills!!!

We should trade/let go Roberts and McKittrick, and PS two ish of the following, Foster, RayRay, and that other PS guy who’s name I always forget. KR duties and sweeps can be assigned to a WR or even a RB for that matter.
We should run with Diggs, Brown, Beasley, and Williams, the guys with the best catch percentages on the team, and our two freshly drafted guys.
Its like the movie money ball. We all know the line, “he gets on base a lot” or in our case “ he catches the ball a lot”. You go with the most likely positive outcome, that in turn creates the points, that in turn gets you the wins.
Go Bills!!!

I think the Bills pretty much went BPA which I believe in. Having a decent roster means that the team doesn't have to "reach" to fill desperate needs on either side of the ball, consequently no 'WTF picks". Now, if the Bills can re-sign their top performers from recent drafts, they'll be on their way to doing what teams that consistently make the playoffs do -- grab talented players regardless of position rather than trying to fill holescreated by continually letting their top young starters leave in FA.
Beane as usual has done a great job of drafting the right players to fill the teams positional scheme needs, he has a very good crew assessing that needed talent.
You are absolutely correct in your assessment of how Beane has set up the team for a high likelihood of continued success, and as you said no wtf picks. Nothing like a competent front office. This season is going to be fun to watch unfold. ?Go Bills!!!

We didn’t draft Stefon Diggs!!!
Don’t be so obtuse,
We used draft capital to get him, just like we did with the rest of this years draftees. -

You forgot that it's not a 53 anymore. It's 55.
Allen / Barkley / Fromm
Moss / Singletary / Yeldon / Jones / DiMarco
Diggs / Brown / Beasley / Davis / Du. Williams / McKenzie / Roberts
Knox / Sweeney / Kroft / Smith
Dawkins / Spain / Morse / Ford / Da. Williams / Nsekhe / Bates / Long / Feliciano
Bass / Vedvik / Ferguson
Hughes / Phillips / Oliver / Epenesa / Addison / Butler / Lotulelei / Murphy / Jefferson
Klein / Edmunds / Milano / Matakevich / Joseph / Thompson
White / Norman / T. Johnson / Gaines / Wallace / Neal
Hyde / Poyer / J. Johnson
I like these roster groupings, some minor rearranging within a group or two...

All in all a good draft, combined with FA and our existing roster we are looking pretty well set.

Competition is king. And when McD was asked what he looked for in a WR he said “well they need to be able to catch the ball.” Word, Coach. He knows he would have won that playoff game if Duke caught that TD or John Brown gets his feet in bounds.
Yup, I quoted that very statement by Sean several times in threads post combine. It is the single most important trait for any receiver, nothing else matters if ya can’t do the one thing consistently.
Of our current receivers Duke has the 4th highest catch percentage at 63.2 percent, behind Diggs, Brown, and Beasley iirc. Imo Foster, Nick and Ray Ray should be goners. Roberts, Williams and Mckenzie are all on the bubble. Roberts although good as a returner is not a good WR, sure wish the would assign someone else to do returns and gain a roster position for another scoring option on offense, and let the chips fall where they may with the remaining receivers. Jmo.
Go Bills!!!

Duke and Foster Gone.
Might be so, McKittrick ain’t safe either. Nick and Ray Ray are goners.

You’re not the gm though right? They obviously have some familiarity with this kid and feel comfortable bringing him in. What qualifies you over Beane to say he can’t win the job? Cause you read an article?
How about the senior bowl? Read about that?He is an official member of the gang of six, that mighty group of permanently disgruntled supposed Bills fans, to get in to this club ya gotta complain about pretty much anything the Bills do as an organization, all the time, Great isn’t it... ??

Right after the long snapper, it’s coming!
Odd draft, this one.
A long of 50 yards does not make me swoon in our winds.
How about my winds ?
Love that they doubled down on WR in this draft

It’s all about execution, they all need to be on the same page, physically and mentally. Band of brothers and all. I am certain that the 2nd half of the playoff game still stings, a very good motivator I would think. With the new additions we are set for the division and more, imo.
Go Bills!!!
