Not the best of reads, to be fair.

I have no issue with Elam or Cook, nor Bernard due to Shakir being a steal in the fifth. And obviously Araiza is a punter with a massive upside. Benford seems to be someone the scouting team have a lot of time for. I know it sounds stupid but it's our second sixth and seventh picks which bug me - Lecitus Smith and Dohnovan West were there and we decided to go with neither?

I think Beane said Bass and Ferguson would be helping Arazia in terms of holding. I remember referencing it at the time, why Haack wouldn’t help too. Especially as, in the same comment, Beane called him an elite holder.

According to Pro Football Network, we have signed Prince Emili, DT, Penn. A scout report for him is in the link below: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/ivy-league-2022-nfl-draft-scouting-reports-include-ej-perry-and-melvin-rouse-ii/

Wydermyer was projected to be a late day two/early day three pick so a nice signing as a UDFA.

Diesch and McKinley III have gone to the Dolphins. Thomas to the Cowboys. Monday and Koerner to the Saints. Austin to the Jaguars. Warren to Steelers.

Confirmed signings of the above: Carson Strong - Eagles Alec Lindstrom - Cowboys Charleston Rambo - PantherS

Can certainly see the upside on Elam, Cook, Shakir and Araiza. Bernard and Benford are decent picks for the franchise though reached on both. Appreciate the point he’s putting across, though.

This was posted an hour ago, you started that thread 15 minutes ago?

To be fair, that refers to the Bills rather than being for across the NFL, which is how I read this thread title.

Would love to know his reasoning!

Even at the most positive ahead of the Jets, the Ravens, the Chiefs, possibly the Giants…?

Mr Irrelevant is Brock Purdy, QB from Iowa State, drafted to the 49ers.

When a pick is generally disliked: these are all the reasons we should like this When a pick is generally liked: these are all the reasons we should hate this

NFLN having the same conversation about Baker Mayfield as they did an hour ago.

Yes. I guess it results in the question why. It always happens, where the GMs/coaches/scouts see something different to the media draft 'experts'.

Buffaloe Billes.

I think for most it's the reach to the third that bothered people, rather than the pick itself. But I think that's been offset by stealing Shakir in the fifth.

Lecitus Smith and Dohnovan West.

It would make sense to train in holding with Haack, at least alongside Ferguson and Bass.

Think I'm at: Love Araiza and Shakir Like Elam and Cook (trading up and losing the fourth for Elam and slightly reaching for Cook takes me away from love. Still should add a lot to the team) OK with Bernard and Benford (Bernard was a reach in the third but balanced out by the Shakir pick; there were perceived better options on the board than Benford but he has a big upside) Disappointed with Tenuta and Spector (picks with a greater upside seemed available) Of course, reality could change all of this!

Benford I had a knee-jerk reaction over but reading the reports I can see why they went with him. Tanuta (other than his size) and Spector I have no idea. A couple of very odd choices to see out our draft; it feels like there were better options available. But, hey, it's low sixth and seventh.

My brain said Cardinals, my fingers typed Falcons. ☹️

Smith has somewhat unsurprisingly been picked, by the (edited) Cardinals.

OK - trusting the process.
