    I like trading down, but there's no way Beane will trade down.   He'll either trade up or stay put.   Trade up if there's a guy they rate really high who fills a perceived need.   That's like there's a guy at 22 who they rated 12.   Something like that.  

     

    Or they'll take someone at 30?   Why?  Because there will almost certainly be someone they rated around 20 available then.  Why?   Well, because quarterbacks are so highly valued, some teams will take QBs who aren't really rated as first rounders but who are too valuable to them to pass on.   Plus, teams rate players differently.   Plus, there are some really talented guys, first round talent, that don't have the character, the emotional makeup that McBeane are looking for, and those guys aren't on Beane's board at all.   The result of all of that is that by 30, some guys McBeane really like will still be there.  

    Completely agree. Some act as if every teams board is the same. The boards are going to be different for a variety of reasons as stated. There will be someone available at 30 for Beane who may be 20 on his board but 35 on another team’s.

    I really think he stays at 30.

    This made me laugh.  I guess it's true that the picks helped in the Diggs trade, but it's not like the Diggs trade wouldn't have happened if the Bills hadn't made the Teller trade.  

     

    I don't think the Teller trade was a disaster or to use your word, a "fail," but it IS amusing the extent to which people will go to defend Beane.   I think Beane has been excellent, but nobody gets them all right.  If Beane had a chance to undo that one, I'm sure he would.  

     

    Mickey Mantle struck out once in a while, and so does Beane.  

    True that no one is perfect, but Beane is the best in the business, as voted on by his peers.

    He’s tied for 7th in most fumbles. It’s a problem and needs to get better. It’s his only glaring weakness.

    Disagree. You need to look at the rate of fumbles. It’s like saying a QB who threw 3 interceptions out of 300 throws is worse than a QB who threw 2 picks in 10 throws. Josh is required to run much much more than most QB’s. It’s about as bad as the accuracy narrative.
