Bills are a depth Corner and mercenary post 6/1 DE away from having a “no holes” top tier defense.
Von, Rousseau, AJE
Ed, Jones, Johnson, Carter
Milano, Bernard, Morrow, Williams
Johnson
Benford, Douglas, Elam
Bishop, Rapp, Edwards
Forgot Cam Lewis, and he matters because he can back up both nickel and boundary CB

My favorite of the 3 picks. I still want more receivers but Carter can play. That was a position of need and the Bills added some pass rush.
Since you know something about him...looking at his draft profile, he projects as a 3TDT?

Weird that Beane isn’t even attempting to move up. We have so many draft picks. Aren’t there guys he covets and sees value in?
I think what it says is that they have a number of guys about equal on their board with no one sticking out

Ohkay dokay so we're not trading up
Anyone got a list of BPA?

Beane said his GPS tracking is more 4.5 than 4.6
I would believe it. Watch him run the gauntlet - I don't have "scout's eyes" for estimating speed by sight like @Buffalo716, but it's marked enough that I can see the difference between his speed in the gauntlet when catching footballs is the order of business, -vs- the 40 yd dash where he was trying to run fast.
Someone said he reached 21 mph in the gauntlet

It'll be interesting to see what Beane does now. We have 4 4th round picks, 2 of them reasonably high.
Would not surprise me to see Beane use a 4th rounder and a later pick to try to move up in the 3rd.
We're coming into the range where I thought we might find a trade partner for 1 of our 5th round picks and the KC 3rd to move us up 3-5 slots if we want

Idk Rapp is not strong at coverage. That's a nice way of putting it.
Rapp is a danger to his fellow defenders. That's a real way of putting it.

RGIII can be so corny, but when he’s on, he’s on..
Loved this follow up to RGIII here:

How do you figure McDermott of all coaches, is going to bench Rapp for a rookie? Not happening, look at Rapps contract combined with the fact he has a year in the system.
Easy. If the rookie picks up the system and is the better baller, McDermott will play him.
This crap about McDermott not playing rookies is baloney.
O'Cyrus Torrance started 17 games.
Kincaid played 16 games, 63% of the snaps and Knox, who had the 9th or 10th highest cap hit on the team, saw his snap count drop 20%.
Rapp is getting a salary of $1.77M this year and has a cap hit of $2.8M, 18th on the team right now. It's not like he's getting paid superstar $$

Maybe they did the work and then concluded they didn't want him.
Or maybe they did the work, concluded they did want him, but had Cole Bishop higher on their board?

Exhibit 2 that Beane does not draft BPA in Rd 1 or 2, but rather by need. In case you forget this, you can come back and read it.
So what teams DO draft 100% BPA if I may ask?
Once you have a reasonably good team, seems to me you can't draft entirely BPA, or you wind up with too many OLmen and no DB or vice versa.
I think all the good teams draft need-modified or need-influenced BPA.

So for you guys who don't like the pick, Greg Cosell is lukewarm about it, based on film.

He really likes Adonai Mitchell, based on film

Colts are having a hell of a draft. They're taking some chances on medicals with both players, I guess, but I like those picks.
I actually came here to say just that. High risk/High reward Draft Board for the Ponies. They're either going to be much better, or much sad.

He also ran the fastest gauntlet and only dropped 2 passes in 2023.
Yeah, I was watching the gauntlet vs. his 40 yd dash, and what a difference. He looked much faster.

Yeah I know right. All of these “stupid” people on here who wanted:
dk metcalf>cody ford
creed Humphrey >boogie basham
brian orkapo >aaron maybin
holoti ngata> Donte whitner
And then my favorite the trade up for Sammy Watkins when some of us thought it was for Khalil Mack from ub.
Yes, there are occasions where the fans have been more right.
But what about the occasions where the fans couldn't have been more wrong? This place melted down when we drafted Josh Allen, "when Josh Rosen was RIGHT THERE!". I myself was a "Wrong Josh" but I ate my serving of humble pie and I'm a better person today.

Coleman is a football player. Bills fans will realize this kid can ball soon enough. If you think you know Coleman because of his 40 time then you don't know anything about him.
Sounds a little like Josh Allen talking about his 4.76 - 40 time. He said something about "I run faster when there are guys trying to catch up and hit me"

One thing I notice watching him is that he seems faster than he looks.
I mean, he kind of looks like he's lumbering along, and then you notice that the guys chasing him are eating dust
That was kind of Josh Allen's thing his first years in the league, players would take an angle on him based on his perceived speed and ..Oops!

“Coleman might lack the athletic traits to be a well-rounded WR2. Instead, keep an eye on him as a big slot receiver who can be a red-zone specialist.” NFL.com
vomit.
slower Gabe with slightly better hands? Beane being to clever by half me thinks.
Pro Tip: don't pay attention to Zierlein's round or NFL outcome predictions. They are all over the place.
Do pay attention to his strengths and weakness listings. They are what I nod when I come back to.
Example: Matt Milano was assessed as an "average backup or special teamer" with an overall 5.9 grade. But his strengths listing had this to say:"Wonderfully aggressive. Heat-seeking missile who looks for contact. Form tackler looking to strike, lift, and bury. Former safety with disciplined vision and above-average instincts. Can get home as blitzer. Reacts quickly to play-action screen passes and reverses. Good straight-line speed and revved motor for extended tackle range. Has some coverage ability in space. Durable two-year starter playing more than 94 percent of his team's defensive snaps. Accelerates through contact. Speed and toughness creates potential opportunities at multiple linebacker spots." [That's my little Guido Torpedo]
So Zierlein analysis of Coleman's strengths:"Above-the-rim artist with circus catches resembling a scene from the tents of Cirque du Soleil. Coleman has excellent size and ball skills. He’s not sudden and doesn’t have great speed, so beating press and creating breathing room against tight man coverages will depend on his ability to improve as a route-runner. The former star basketball player has a rebounder’s blend of extension and timing to give jump-ball defenders the blues. He’s big and strong with soft hands"
I've been complaining that our WR get shoved off their routes by physical coverage, that we seldom see the 'circus catch' from them, that our guys give us 'focus drops' at key situations. Sounds as though Beane set out to change that, and feels as though for a basketball player, the release moves can be coached up.
The interesting thing is that Beane feels he excels against press coverage. Hmmm.

Stuff I'm not loving here
-Press coverage can blanket his release and catch a ride.
-Below-average acceleration getting out of breaks and cuts.
-Could struggle finding separation to avoid excessive contested catches.
Stuff that sounds good:-Prototypical size and high-end ball skills.
-Attacks underneath throws with extended, sticky hands.
-Works aggressively back on short and intermediate throws.
-Unlikely to see focus drops when watching his tape.
-Meets jump balls with full extension to the high-point.
-Uses size to gain advantage over the cornerback on jump-ball wins.
-Hard to bring down after the catch and as a punt returner.

Well, judging by the negative reactions here this ought to work out as well for us as Josh Allen did
