I wouldn’t complain one bit if one of Duke, McK or Foster get cut in favor of a 2nd round WR who outperfoms them. Sure we will have used a first and second on WR. So what? If we draft an OT, then we used a second two years in a row at that position. If we draft an RB, then we have spent a 2nd and 3rd in that timespan. An LB? 1st and 2nd. The draft is about building the best roster over the long game. The strategy is not, “we drafted a LB high last year so we can’t do that this year.” That’s need based drafting. That’s how you take inferior players and don’t accumulate winning talent.

Seeing as we just exited the late first, I doubt there’s anyone we’re truly enamored with around there.

More importantly, they will allow us to not have to reach for a WR in the first two rounds next season and possibly even 2022 if we DO need one. That’s why BPA is the best strategy and Beane deserves a ton of credit for building a well-developed roster where we have that luxury.

There is no position on this team that a rookie will be getting >500 snaps barring injuring. It has nothing to do with “being in trouble.” It has everything to do with “we shouldn’t draft BPA because everyone will definitely be healthy all year and there’s no reason to have a quality player in the wings.” The crux of the whole discussion is that you will have early 2nd round grade players in the middle 2nd and third rounds at WR in this draft. That’s a value you simply cannot pass with the 22nd pick in the second round. If there’s a LB or RB that Beane ranks higher at our pick, then that’s the guy I want. But if the BPA is a WR, you don’t reach for a DE or OT or whatever.

Maybe Brown battles a hammy all year and he gets a ton of playing time this year. Maybe Diggs breaks his arm and misses 7 weeks. It’s silly to pretend any unit is set at this point.

EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeJjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

Jarvis Landry was the 12th WR taken in 2014 and put up 758 yards as a rookie.

Fans liked Orton because he wasn’t the human disaster EJ Manuel.

The overarching point is if you traded up for say, Lamb. (IMO the best all around WR in this draft), the best you could reasonable hope for is that he turns out to be as good of a player as Diggs. But there’s no guarantee he would have been. And you’d have to trade more capital to secure it. Diggs is the bird in the hand. Out of the top 3 guys, maybe one of them will turn out to be better than Diggs. But there’s also a significant chance none of them will be better than him at all. Bird in the hand. Known commodity. Easy decision.

That’s just not true. Not sure anyone is calling Josh a bust. But Bills fans sure are quick to laugh at Darnold, Mayfield, Wentz, Dak, and Goff. I guess they don’t deserve patience those BUMS!

This is an embarrassing tough guy spiel.

It’s catnip to the insane Bills fans though. We had a few back in the day who said EJ still had more upside and potential when he was competing with Matt Cassell.

You’re insane.

These remind of those ridiculous “Would you trade EJ for Tannehill” threads some troll would always start.

I love Milano but the choice is easy. It’s a Value Over Replacement analysis. You can barely find OT’s that are good backups in FA. Decent LBers are always available.

If you can intubate and throw an A line, they want you in the ICU.

Kaep is out of the league, but everyone else who protested with him is still in the league. What are some key differences?

Ooph, even worse. May start having to brush up on your critical care lol.

Oh that’s right, surgeons. Hopefully they don’t ask you guys to cover the ICU lol.

Surprised they don’t have you working overtime.

Incredible. 4/4. I was shocked at Rodgers myself. Peyton and Flacco I think were easy, but Rodgers has been a perennial pro bowler for so long I was shocked he didn’t make it.

Oh *****, forgot Wentz didn’t play. There’s a fourth then.

No. But even so, if that means you draw the conclusion, “beating women = ok,” well then.

Here’s a fun stat. Since 2009, only 3 QB’s of the Super Bowl winning teams didn’t make the ProBowl the same year. Conclusion? You have to be in the better third of QB’s to win a SuperBowl. Guys who do that consistently end up making lots of money. Bonus points to anybody who guesses the 3 QB’s

Yeah but you’re trying to draw a conclusion from 10 data points and you started out by throwing out 3 right off the bat. It’s just not great analysis. The Seahawks could have easily beaten the Pats and the Falcons also could have beaten the Pats. You draw can all kinds of faulty comparisons if you avoid using a reasonable amount of data.
