    Breakdown of McBeane's Team Building Tendencies (So Far)

    The thing I’ve always thought about a Josh Allen led offense is, at no time in his life before the NFL, did his offenses score a lot of points...same for his own personal stats- he never put up great numbers...

     

    Thats why I always felt it was going to be difficult to have a high powered offense with him as the QB...it’s just never been in his nature to be that kind of QB...

     

    In addition, I feel with McD as his HC, it hinders Josh as well, because McD doesn’t encourage an explosive offense...Once McD has the slightest of leads, he just wants to get the game over with as soon as possible- he doesn’t go into every game with the mind set of trying to score 30 points, regardless of what the other team is doing...


    Yupp. McDermott needs to learn to keep his foot on the gas.

    I have to believe that the drop off in DE from round 2 to round 3 was greater than the drop off in RB....because Dobbins sure did look like a sweet pick!  I wonder how they had Moss rated vs Dobbins? These guys know infinitely more about this than I do, and they have a great track record, so I trust this was the best way to go. 

     

    I bet some of Beane’s angst leading up to the Moss pick was because he knew it was a gamble to go DE first.

    They could have gone Dobbins and Joe Greenard in the 3rd. All water under the bridge, though, because they picked who they did.

    i'm going to say we had a deal in place with the Cowboys and we were going to trade up for Jacob Eason, who went 1 pick in front of the Boys. That's just specualtion of course but Eason is the type of QB that the front office usually covets (Cam Newton/Josh Allen) which I was a little bit surprised to see them go Fromm since this offense looks like it's built for the long ball and Eason would have made alot of sense. I still like the Fromm pick alot and I don't think Barkley has a chance in hell to retain his job, just my opinion.


    I agree, think it was Eason too. Would have made a lot more sense than Fromm. Though I’m optimistic Fromm can become a solid backup in a few years.

    I will say this as well.  Beane is smart and if we had that bad of a line he would have grabbed a guy with one of the first two picks or made a bigger splash move in free agency.  I truly feel we have a very good line if we shore up the right tackle spot.  Josh Allen holds on to the ball longer than any QB in the NFL and that's a fact.  This obviously results in more sacks and more penalties.  This reminds me of when Rob Johnson was getting smashed for 7 or 8 sacks a game and everyone said our line is not good.  Then Flutie comes in and the guy gets rid of the ball in a timely manner and the sack numbers go way down.  I know you aren't saying we are terrible Bob but we also might be a lot better than most realize at that position.


    I think Beane is hoping another year of those 5 guys gelling will make them into an above average offensive line.

    This could have a huge impact on the draft.  I think it's good to find out today rather than after the draft.  At least Beane knows the market has blown up.  We may end up drafting a guy and grooming him, and trading Dawkins next year.  Hell, we went through this with Jason Peters, but he pretty much forced our hands.  We signed him after the draft, developed him, and he moved on.

     

    Dawkins seems like a good dude, though. I think he likes being on our team.  

     

    Perhaps the rest of the league will recognize the Tunsil deal as an insane aberration.


    Yeah he likes it here, but if someone wants to pay him significantly more than the Bills value him, I don’t think it would be hard for him to learn to like that new team.
