Coach Tuesday

Correct. He’s basically Kareem Hunt with a lot of wear and tear. Nice to have but not at the cost of a first round pick.

You do see some Kamara there. Kamara is low key a power back and ETN has some pop to his runs.

Pic?

Yup.

Yup. That’s how Beane gets himself into the 4th round.

I don't think that's what he's saying. You've got several positions - on both offense and defense - which disproportionately affect the game and which, consequently, cost more and are harder to find. Those positions (in today's passing-based NFL) are QB, LT, WR on offense, and DE (EDGE) and CB on defense. The Bills could definitely import a Diggs-like factor on defense in the form of a pass rush specialist. If they added Von Miller to this defense he'd have a similar impact that adding Diggs had to the offense last year, for example.

Hard to say that picking an All Pro corner is a bad selection at any point in the draft unless there was a franchise QB passed on.

I can’t draft a corner who has had back surgery from lifting weights. He’s off my board entirely. Too bad.

Wouldn’t go that far, at all. They’ve gotten better at cutting bait. Kelvin Benjamin, Quinten Spain, Juan Castillo.

I think they call it “innovation consulting” nowadays…

Lawrence’s frame would scare me. He’s built like Rob Johnson, I could totally see him dislocating his ribs by falling on the ball.

As I said elsewhere, a third round pick on Werner solves all problems on defense. There’s your instinctive Mike, and Edmunds becomes a 10-15 sack guy.

ETN struggles with pass protection. He’s just as likely to get Allen injured.

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CITED GETTLEMAN. But I’ll ask you: when is the last time a first round running back helped his team win a Super Bowl? It’s extremely rare.

Because the rules overwhelmingly favor the offense.

Gettleman was fired for mismanaging the roster three months after drafting McCaffrey. He promptly went to the Giants and took Barkley at 2, receiving a ton of criticism for refusing to trade down, passing on QBs, and picking another top 10 back who failed to help his team win games. Mara put Gettleman on public notice this offseason. So hopefully Beane has been paying close attention to the saga of his former boss. Dave Gettleman has left a clear road map of how NOT to build a roster.

Carolina makes a ton of sense. He went to college there.

I like big Boettgers, I’m not gonna lie.

You know who else thinks so? Calais Campbell.

But they’d have the money to do it. Plus coach salaries don’t count against the cap. Paying the best passing game coordinator on the market is far cheaper than paying top dollar to a QB. Again, I don’t think anyone seriously expects this to happen but it’s a cool idea and it’s far more interesting than most of the draft-related takes the media is spitting out this week.

I did read that. I would like more information. Is the goal to be faster? Is that what he thinks the "missing element" is? How does that relate to his drop? Does he want to become a better third-down back to make it harder for them to take him off the field in passing downs?

It's an asset allocation issue. Are they gonna give Lamar a $150M contract if he's already hit his ceiling? They might be able to get the same baseline production out of a guy like Fields at a fraction of the cost, allowing them to stock up in other areas.

I read the article. Didn't answer any of my questions. He watches the clip. Great, put "Super Bowl - 2022" in ink.

Per PFT: "They [could] take a collegiate approach to the quarterback position,” Brooks said on NFL Network’s Path to the Draft. “They cash in on a Justin Fields. And then maybe they operate like a college team. One quarterback graduates, the other quarterback steps into the starter’s role. You now have the opportunity to keep a starting quarterback potentially on a young deal, build up the rest of the assets, and then play smash mouth football the way that they play, and continue to build a better team around the quarterback. It’s something to think about." That's actually kind of brilliant and it's super-creative. Why not maximize your salary cap space by going another 4 years with a QB on a rookie deal? Their roster is set up to win without elite QB play, and if they think Jackson has hit his ceiling as a passer, it's not crazy. I'm sure they won't do it but I love outside-the-box ideas like this one.

Sure he can get better. BUT TELL US WHAT HE'S DOING TO GET BETTER (Dunne, not you). That article is just a puff piece.
