Damn there goes Joe Milton. At this point, I thought he'd be a good grab as a PS player to develop as potentially a long term backup to Josh.

Because from some reason, they did not want Franklin. They couldn't do more work on him, and still did nothing to get him. Maybe they made a wrong decision, but their final evaluation was clearly very different than yours.
He wasn't taken until Day 3. EVERY team in the league passed on him multiple times. There were more flaws on the tape then his fans wanted to admit. He had quite possibly the worst Combine I've ever seen. And then he reportedly bombed in interviews with teams questioning his love of the game and desire to work to be great.
We did a lot of work on him. We interviewed him at the Combine. We had him do a private workout for us. It's clear that he simply didn't pass the tests and it wasn't for a lack of trying on our part and we obviously weren't the only ones that felt that way.

What did we get in the Trade Down?

Javon Solomon is really good value here.

we need all the Alpha’s we can getLol at thinking a WR left at the bottom of the 5th is an "Alpha".

Damn! OT Christian Jones goes right before our pick. I had us taking him with our first 5th and would have loved to have gotten him with our last.

You've never had a mosquito bite that you just can't reach? THAT'S what waiting this long for a WR feels like. I've gone well beyond reason, at this point.
You know we took a WR at 33, right?
The "Double Down" was never a given. We lost 4 WR's, signed 2, and Drafted one. We have Shorter coming off his red shirt year. And probably are going back to the veteran market (maybe).

I betcha Miami takes Washington and KC takes Flournoy. That's life, as a Bills fan 😭
Again, anyone we're taking here has a Year 1 ceiling as either playing Justin Shorter off the roster or more likely being this year's Justin Shorter as a Red Shirt Rookie. I don't understand your urgency to fill the last WR roster spot with a Late Day 3 Pick.

I'm actually surprised Joe Milton hasn't gone because of his traits. I am not a fan btw but I thought someone would take a shot earlier because of his raw ability.
I mean, if Spencer Rattler wasn't taken until just now - I'm not surprised Milton is still available. I had Milton as a 6th Rounder before Rattler dropped.

I think he wore it in college at some point though so at least it makes some sense i suppose. He’s not getting 4 from Cook that’s for sure.
Also, I thought 24 was Elam’s number but maybe he changed it this offseason and I forgot. Would have loved him to wear 8 personally.

Beane- what number you want kid?
bishop- I’d love 24 but that’s elams number
Beane- yeah, sorry, your gonna have to pick ano….
McDermott jumps in- you want 24, you got it kid.
Kaiir Elan switched to #5 earlier in the Offseason.

Yes it was. Pure stupidity or they're going after Aiyuk? Nothing else makes sense? Rice still available but the wise pick will probably be Kamara.
Said it once, I'll say it a million times - we've replaced one of Diggs or Davis with Coleman, replaced Harty with Samuel, and replaced Sherfield with Hollins.
We still have Khalil Shakir and drafted Justin Shorter with a 5th last year that will probably be on the 53.
Anyone we take on Day 3 isn't replacing Diggs or Davis. At most, they'd play Shorter off the bottom of the roster - essentially throwing last year's 5th into the fire.
There's probably only one WR spot open, if we're keeping more than 5. And with what's left and who's left, a vet with our 6/1 money is going to provide MUCH more than a Day 3 Rookie in Year 1.

What was the Bills trade compensation?
Chicago's 4th in 2025. Very solid return. Could be a high 4th.

Nope. Just rewound and watched a third time. Spectrum espn channel 26. They were talking lions pick, showed eagles pick is in. Never went to podium or vocally mentioned that pick but did show it at bottom of screen. Adverts. Returns to 49s 129 pick is in. Talked head coach of viking for 10 mins.
Found it - about 15 minutes after pick 128 espn first mentions what the pick was and shows some davis love. But I only knew of the pick from here. Switched to nfl network.
Yeah, NFL Network covered it well. ESPN is fine for Day 1 and Day 2, but they're awful on Day 3.

And keeping with the theme of people trading into our picks for guys I like - Chicago takes the highest rated player left on my board 😂

That might be the best trade of the draft for us if it indeed is a 4th

Great pick! I forgot he was still on the board.

My guess is OT Christian Jones.

Ok in 5th round, one our picks HAS to be WR right?
It really doesn't. We lost Diggs, Davis, Harty, and Sherfield. Coleman replaces Davis, Samuel replaces Harty, and Hollins replaces Sherfield. We also have Khalil Shakir and Justin Shorter, who we spent a 5th on last year.
We probably only have one WR roster spot left on the 53. I don't see any of the WR's left being a given to make the roster. And I'd expect we're looking at a vet for that last real spot.
The double down was never a given. Especially if we plan on bringing in another vet. We took a WR with our first pick. People are acting like we've completely ignored it.

We desperately need wr help after 456 years of not drafting a wr in the top 3 rounds and we enter the deepest Wr draft in decades. We trade away a pick to the arch enemy who proceeds to draft the player that consensus would say Buffalo should have drafted. You then proceed to trade away the again to a team that takes the next best option. You then choose to draft a WR you probably could have got much later, and draft 2 defensive pieces. We walk away with only Coleman in the deep wr pool. Wow
*Much* later? Uh, no. Maybe we could have moved down a pick or two. But even that wasn't a guarantee.
When it came to X's with Size that weren't a character question mark (ie Mitchell and Franklin), which is what we were obviously looking for - Coleman and Ja'Lynn Polk was all that was really left.
If you think we could have gotten Coleman "much later" when Ja'Lynn Polk went at Pick 37 - you're just being obtuse because you don't like the pick.

1) Booker at 95, or Hunt after small trade up from 95. Young guys to develop into that top-end while insulated in a rotational scheme.
B) Then you take Rakestraw at 60 instead of Bishop since it's a premium position and look for Hicks or Mustapha or Taylor-Demerson or Hampton or {insert here} R4. Or maybe Bishop is still there lol.
iii) Still think Anderson will play C with McFreeagent at LG. It'll be the Bills best 5.
Beane had the chance to fill exactly the holes you pointed out, and did not. That DT is a process-reach and i think that should be a term going forward.
Carter was not remotely a reach. If we took him at 60, it would have been a little high. But after all 7 DT's I had rated above him went from Picks 35 to 54 - I thought we'd have to take him at 60 if we wanted him.
Getting him at 95 was not only not a reach, it was damn lucky given how Round 2 went. If you didn't have Carter on your radar and think he was a reach where we got him - you didn't do enough work on DT or him. He was pretty consistently the guy coming off the board next after Michael Hall Jr. amongst the guys I trust.

Not to pick on you personally, but someone makes this claim every single year. Go back and look at the wide receivers selected before Stefon Diggs. Or Davante Adams. Or Tyreek Hill. Or… you get my point. I remember badly wanting the freakishly athletic Arkansas TE Jason Peters and many on this board were clamoring for him too, but he went undrafted. These evaluators - even though they’re equipped with much more information than we have - get things wrong all the time.
Of course there are outliers. But they're generally the exception and not the rule.
If you're taking a guy who's talented, but still on the board in Round 4 - they're generally the very definition of "Boom or Bust". If the league felt Troy Franklin had little to no potential of not working out, he'd have been taken by now. It's obvious that they do think he's far from a sure thing.

Gabe Hall still available. That's a surprise to me. Would be a good grab at this point. As is Brendan Rice.
At this point, we're just getting a jump on UDFA's.
