  1. I think a lot of the older Bills fan have been so spoiled with the incredible talent of the past, that the last 20 years have been incredibly boring. When you get to watch amazing players like Bruce, OJ, Kelly, Thurman, etc, your eyes feed off it. Even other teams talent during those times was amazing. Lawrence Taylor, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Marino, Elway, etc you just get spoiled. Honestly the NFL is lacking in high quality stars like the golden days. 

     

    But it it does appear to be changing again. People like Barkley and Mahomes give you that same feeling once again.

    BPA and the phrase you use, BVA are the same thing. Mathematically speaking, if a guy is the best value available, that means he's the BPA, definitionally. I'm not sure I understand how there could be any difference. 

     

    And when you said that Beane had said "they had a higher rated player on the board at one point and took someone else," I thought, "Gee, I never heard that, I'd better go back and listen again." And he actually never said that. He said that in four of seven cases they took the highest rated guy. But he also said that in one specific case they had two guys rated equally and took the one because the other was at a position that was already strong so his chances of making the team were lower. That leaves two more, and he never made clear whether the other cases were just cases of having guys equal or not. They may have been. It sure sounded like he was saying that if they in fact weren't equal then they were extremely close.

     

    Certainly I agree that if guys are equal or virtually equal you should make strategic decisions factoring in such things as position strength, position depth and that kind of thing as part of your thought process on who to pick.

     

     

    I do see some similarities. For me, when I look at Dane Jackson tackling, I see a more violent Antoine Winfield (the pop, I don't know the son well).

    I dunno man, Winfield was violent. Dane is pretty mean, but Winfield is a whole another level.

    This guy was a 1-2nd rounder. Projected 5th this year. Played all of 2019. With injury background and COVID, made it hard for him to be checked out. Thought to go in 2019 draft and Mocks in 2018 had him as a Bills selection in the 5th so Bills have been watching this man for 3 years. They know him well and probably said to him this would happen later pick or this way. 

    This might be the steal of the UDFAs. I’d let him train and heal the whole year. I wouldn’t stash him on PS.

    Epenesa is completely the opposite of Schobel except for motor. Scholbel was quick and light in the ass. Epenesa is big, thick and stronk like bull. Reminds me personally more of Ben Williams who did have a 10 sack campaign just after the league started counting such things.

    Epenesa is a bull for sure. I’m a little worried though that only gets you so far in the NFL. Ultimately you need some speed to beat pro lineman. Bruce was a rare combination of bull and speed. A freak of nature! I miss him the most.

    Nice player to end up on PS give him a year in the facility and training staff 

    The nice thing about this signing is there is absolutely no risk. If he flops oh well. Talent is there just needs to work on footwork and conditioning.

    Ball skills like McKelvin?  Not exactly a ringing endorsement....

    It’s not, but that’s who Dane reminds me of. Especially his coverage and tackling style. He’s aggressive and is probably going to get PI just like him.

    Dane Jackson is also 5'11 180lbs.  I don't doubt his college record, but am skeptical he can repeat this in the pros; I say that just because the talent jump from college to professional.  At the least, he will need to add some muscle mass.

    5’11 180lbs, just like McKelvin. Just slower lol
