    Ford wasn't nearly as bad last year as fans want to make him out to be. I don't think the Bills have given up on their former second-round pick, and you have Kromer coming in to work with him. No one is asking Ford to be an elite player; we're asking him to be a reasonable backup guard, and he is more than capable of that.

     

    Say what you will about Mancz, but he's played a lot in the NFL. I think he's probably the 10th OL and cut though since Bates could be the pinch backup center and then plug in Boettger at guard.

    I think Ford looked worse than he was because Daryll Williams was sucking it up bad at Tackle too. I'm not saying he was good, but I don't want to see the Bills invest a 2nd into IOL really.  Give me a skill position guy like Skyy Moore, Christain Watson,  or Breece Hall.  I want to see an offensive impact moving forward.

    I actually just read that "Tommy Doyle needs competition" as justification for holding on to the 4th round pick...

     

    Gonna go wash my eyes and down about 8 more beers. There will be trainwreck, look-at-me takes, regardless of the pick. We filled a huge need. On to tomorrow.

    If Bills fans are this upset, I can't imagine what it must be like to be a Patriots fan when they traded back to take a late 3rd round guard at 29.

    They are the most quarterback centric team Greg Cosell has ever seen as in if Josh Allen isn’t Superman they don’t win games 

    Okay. So I'm going to ask you again, who was available at 23 or 25 that would contribute to alleviate that?  Last time I asked you, you gave me a linebacker, which wouldn't do anything to answer the problem that you're putting out there.

     

    You seem upset with the Elam pick, mainly because you think the offense needs shoring up, right?  Well I'm saying that there's nobody left in that first round that makes sense to take for our offense.  So you're left with trading down, or filling that clear need at CB with a guy with incredible tools, something that Beane loves. 

     

    I'm just trying to understand why you're upset. It just seems irrational.

    What was the problem with the Bills offense last year? 

    I don't really think there was a clear problem. They were very good, one of the best in the league.  I don't know why you're asking me that though.  If you think there was a problem, by all means enlighten me.

    It’s pretty obvious Devin Lloyd should be a Buffalo bill now. Elam was a reach at 23 and a waste of an asset to trade up for him 

     

    I don't see how that's obvious at all. Why would the Bills draft a LB to sit all year when there's a big, gaping hole at CB. You don't have to agree with the Bills but it's clear they like Edmunds.

     

    You were also talking this whole time about how the Bills are doing Allen dirty, so I don't see how drafting a LB supports what you were saying previously.

    The trade for Diggs doesn't mean they get a pass on drafting WR for 2 years.  In fact, they've used 1 pick from rounds 1-3 on a WR from 2017-21.  Likely to change tomorrow, Buffalo has used UFA liberally at WR and OL.  Need to draft and develop play-makers on offense.  Davis isn't a lock at this point with his 6 career regular/postseason games with more than 80 yards receiving. 

    I mostly agree, I was just arguing with the other poster who said the Bills were doing the same thing to Allen that Green Bay has done historically to Rodgers.  Just pointing out that the Bills have used premium assets to help out Allen.  I'm all for drafting weapons in rounds 2-3, I just don't see how it wouldn't be a big reach to have done that at pick 23, where just about all of the 1st round WR talent was already spoken for.

    My mistake he’s using the Carolina Panthers model with Can Newton 

    Ah yeah, the great Can Newton.

     

    You know they went to a superbowl right? You could do a lot worse than that run of years Carolina had when he was at his peak. That's really not the insult you're trying to make it out to be. Allen has a much better throwing motion too so the window is just going to be open longer. 

     

    Full disclosure, I wanted a WR too, but I don't want them to reach for one.  There was no WR left on that board that had a 1st round consensus.  It's just a fact.  The IOL was gone. Going RB is just bad business. CB2 is a logical and good place for them to invest in, and now we have a cost controlled asset opposite White for the next five years.

     

    I really don't understand your logic here. Who was on the board that was the obvious pick over Elam, or even CB?

    Beane is using the Green Bay that they use with Aaron Rogers 

    I know what you're trying to say, but re-read that sentence and tell me it makes sense.

     

    Beane used the 2020 first round pick to get Diggs, so you're objectively wrong about that. Green Bay hasn't hit really on any WR draft picks, we have with Davis. We've signed decent FA depth historically as well, while Green Bay has certainly had more trouble than this.

     

    It sounds like to me that you're having a tantrum instead of thinking about this logically.

    Do you want me to go over this again? They have a starting guard on a 1 year contract…they have a starting receiver on a 1 year contract…they have no rb under contract after this year…they have no TE under contract after this year…🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

     

    -The top IOL were already gone.

    -There was a huge run on receiver, leaving scraps and mostly 2nd round prospects

    -RB is never a position the Bills have heavily invested in, and Zack Moss is still under contract (although I think he's garbage).

    -There are zero 1st round rated TEs this year.

     

    Do you think the draft is over? They literally have 6 more picks.  This is just a poor take.

    Thank you!!!

     

    God forbid we roll with the receivers we got and Diggs or the inconsistent Davis are hurt come playoff time…. Jake ***** Kumerow time. 🤮

    Did you not see the run on WR? Any WR left would be a much bigger reach than Elam.  You could easily trade up and get somebody in 2nd-3rd if you're that worried about it.

    SECOND IN THE ENTIRE FBS IN PASSER RATING ALLOWED. SECOND.

    College production + speed and size + elite work ethic + he's only 20.

    Pretty good, Beane. Pretty, pretty, prreeeettttttty good.

    THANK YOU.  I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with all the people obsessed about losing a 4th rounder to move up. This player is going to be a killer fit for this team because of the athletic profile and his work ethic.   He's exactly what we should want in a CB2 role and has the tools that Levi Wallace straight up didn't have.

  12. I'm seriously surprised to see the disdain on this board with this pick.  Elam is going to be great opposite Tre.  He has a speed element that the secondary is seriously lacking and he has great measurements.  When we're playing guys like Hill, Waddle, and now Jameson Williams multiple times a year we're going to need this kind of speedy man element to ensure we don't get killed in YAC. 

     

    This is a great piece to make our defense that much more dominant.

    I think Brady and Manning have raised the bar.

     

    Actually not so sure Josh is an much of a gym rat, workout maniac or health food nut.  Strong work ethic for sure, but there are lots of those at that level. 
     

    Guys like Derek Henry do insane things like special sleep chambers.  Jerry Rice was a maniac 

    Yeah, there are a ton of dedicated guys who push their bodies to extremes.  Josh though has (in my opinion) a really unique ability to self reflect and improve.  There basically has never been a QB who has changed his mechanics so drastically (and consistently). The guy is a unicorn in that regard. He also is probably a top 10 athlete to ever play the position, honestly.  

  14. I think Max Borghi is a guy who might be a sneaky target for the Bills.  He seems like a value pass catching back who can be grabbed day 3. I think RB is a need for the Bills this draft but I don't think it's a need I would want to spend a high draft pick on.

     

    He's also said he's spoken to the Bills a few times.

  15. My guess is that the Bills extended him a lowish offer before signing Lawson again, and Hughes just decided it wasn't worth the beating his body has been taking.  He was a solid pressure style rusher, even though he didn't get home enough.  Appreciate everything he did for the Bills over the years.
