You need to watch the crazy kicks Arazia has had, from the goal line the ball FLEW to the opposing 18. The kid can bomb it. I honestly don’t think Allen can throw it that far. That said, Bojo has a huge leg and is gone, JaMarcus Russle had a huge arm and was gone in no time, none of it matters unless it’s refined. The kid has a lot to prove just to take Haacks job.

That’s a 5th round pick, where you are taking fliers and looking for ST players, 3rd round picks are still top 100 players, you are looking for starters, completely different.

They don’t use WRs anyway, why waste a pick on one? This, all this. I think the Chiefs drafted some names and I think a couple of them Karlaftis specifically, will struggle to translate, but I get the love they have gotten, especially if those guys do find success I don’t project. Ravens killed it. The Jets really shined, but there are a couple there I wonder about translating to NFL too.

I think it’s based on what you came away with based on your available capital. The Bills look to have reached in at least the second and third rounds and gave up their 4th for a guy that most had as a borderline 1st round pick. To be clear, I have no problem with the first round pick or giving up the 4th to make sure they got their guy. I do think Cook was an obvious reach, even to them as they traded down TWICE, before picking him. I think they wanted McBride and completely panicked when he went 1 pick before them, no proof, just a hunch. He was a good pick at a position of high value, especially looking at next year, and what he could bring this year. Immediately, they traded down and down, to take a third round player in the late second and I still feel they over drafted him. Then there’s the real WTF pick of the draft in the third. Nothing in the 4th and from there on out, I view it as fliers on potential. They got great potential in the back half of the draft. Honestly, I think the draft sucked. I see exactly 1 player in the first 5 rounds that looks like a starter and that would hold for the whole draft, but there is a punter in there that has potential. To me, and I’m a nobody, this is the worst draft of the McBeane era. Anyway, long and short, you work with what you have and you need to maximize the players you can get. You get the best talent or you don’t. This is the first draft where I strongly believe they picked for needs instead of BPA. I get it, they needed a CB and I like Elam. Everything else, besides possibly Arizia was a need pick (yeah it’s still a need, but at least I can buy the BPA argument). This was more Buddy Nix than Beane to me. I have the Bills draft closer to the bottom 1/4 on this draft than the top half, but we shall see.

I think the back half of the Bills draft saved them on the ratings. No surprise the Jets got the top grade, they look to have crushed it. The Ravens and Chiefs also looked good. The best part is seeing the Pats dead ass last, which is not so Strange.

I still see White as the better player overall and would fill the same need, also drafted later. I think this was a reach and Beane knew it or he wouldn’t have traded down twice before doing it. Based on their track record, they do not deserve the benefit of the doubt on RB evaluation.

Yep, this is what I see, especially the Rachaad White comment. Don’t get this pick at all

His leg is insane and as an emergency place kicker, he’s a great option too. Really interesting player, but definitely has some work ahead of him to win the job. He will have to prove he can hold and he’s going to have to tweak his punts for hang time vs raw distance. No reason to believe he can’t do both, I just hope he can do it in time for cut downs. I’d hate to see another pick cut and snatched up elsewhere who goes on to perform well. Great risk/reward for a 6th.

I can guarantee you the Jets are coming away with one of the top draft grades and the Bills will get one of the worst and I can’t disagree with it thus far. Elam has a lot of potential and great measurables so I’m optimistic. Cook is not his brother, has some explosive traits, but goes down from a stiff breeze and WTF was the third round? On paper, I believe the Bills have the worst draft going so far. For a team that has “the most complete roster in the NFL”, why are you stacking 6th round picks, when you couldn’t protect your 5th rounders last year? Hopefully, they package them all and don’t make more than 3 more picks.

Way too slow for safety

Yeah.. I’m going to say it, Beane thinks he’s smarter than everyone else and history proves otherwise. Without Allen, McBeane is bagging groceries.

No impressed, hope I’m wrong.

He can hope to get a Mariota career out of his skill set and Mariota is far better overall. Hurts is awful, his only “production” as a passer is garbage time when D’s just role in a prevent because they are already blowing the iggles out.

Hurts is closer to Tebow that anybody, he’ll be a backup soon enough.

I could see them trying to do what Tenn did with Brown and trading the player for the pick to replace him. I like that move, replace a contract and in theory get better in the process.

I think he’s a great talent, but let’s not pretend he’s taken on the best even in college. He’s going to be licking sauce off his wounds for a bit in the NFL. I wouldn’t run my mouth about any All-Pros without stepping foot on an NFL field. Diggs is going to light him up as will Hill, those are not guys you see in college. Hill is sincerely a generational type of talent (and #######), Diggs is damn near impossible for the very best DBs in the league to cover one on one with Allen throwing to him. I’d expect them to throw it right at the kid from play one when they get on the field.

The Pats are done, their drafting has been poor for years, but this one takes the cake. BB should retire, seriously.

I wonder if they have the balls to flip Lamar to Carolina or Seattle if they can pick up Corall or Willis in the 2nd.

Hoping they can flip Edmunds for a top end pick and go get his replacement , still keep the 2nd round pick for something on the O

The fact Lamar doesn’t have a new contract tells you everything you need to know about Baltimore’s opinion on Lamar.

Hey, real quick, what did the Bills trade to draft Allen? Do you really give a *****?

About to see just how bad Lamar is when his #1 goes off in AZ.

Yep, absolutely insane when they touch the ball less than 10x a game. Even crazier when you don’t have a QB. The Eagles are a horribly run team.

You don’t know who might have chosen to move up to 23 to take him or move w Dallas to get him. It’s not about the next team it’s about ALL the others.

Why is anybody surprised? Everyone is laughing at Cleveland for paying Mayfield right now and he was 2x the QB Jones ever has shown to be. He was an obvious reach at the time and it didn’t work out. If Dabs can get him going, they can still re-sign him to a prove it deal.
