Coach Tuesday

Yes. That is still the “missing piece” IMO - a better version of what McKenzie does.

Duvernay is gonna be sick in that offense. I would’ve been psyched if the Bills took him instead of Moss, although I like the way Moss plays and I think he’ll bring some juice and attitude to the offense.

So, you hope they’ve done a deep dive on his football character. Without elite (or even average) explosion, he’ll have to win on attitude and effort. Some of the anonymous scouting reviews are less than stellar, such as this one from The Athletic: ”“I just don’t know how much fire there is internally in him to achieve,” a third scout said. “It’s not like he’s a bad kid, by any stretch. I just don’t see that J.J. Watt-type desire and motivation to be great.” https://theathletic.com/1758253/2020/04/20/mcginns-nfl-draft-series-scouts-on-top-edge-rushers/?source=user_shared_article I worry about the bust factor with this guy. Personally I would’ve taken a chance on Uche as a high-upside explosive pass rusher. Not that I don’t like Epanesa, I am good with their ability to scout defense and I’ll assume they spoke to his coaches and feel confident he has enough compete. It just feels a bit like a “straight down the fairway” type pick. That said I’m sure they didn’t expect him to last to 54 and the value is undeniable.

Ravens another team trying to score points. I have yearly draft envy for the Ravens.

That’s more like it.

Zay Jones is nervous.

Bowden was the second to last guy I wanted. Then Edwards. All the playmakers are gone. Other teams took touchdown makers.

Fine with the player, not thrilled with the pick or strategy.

Safe pick for a milquetoast regime. In which decade are we going to try to score points?

All the players are gone.

Taylor was one of my sleepers - he’s a dude.

Eff it I want them to take Winfield now.

That's why Derrick Brown would've been the better pick IMO. Keep Slay if you need a corner - you've got a good one - and draft Brown who can blow up a passing game and has an A+ football character.

He replaces much of what Lorax did and gives them flexibility to sub in and out of nickel looks. Milano, Edmunds and Dugger on the field at the same time provides real problems for the offense. That said, I doubt he makes much of an impact on defense in year 1, and watching guys like Hamler and Pittman make plays while our top pick is a special teams gunner is going to be hard to stomach. As I keep saying - he’s a comfort zone pick for McBeane, because they know they can use him. I’d prefer they stretched a bit more...

I mean, isn’t that why they keep drafting in the top 10?

Re the Lions, I don’t know what the exact right strategy was but using a Top 5 pick on replacing a good player with a slightly cheaper player at the same position can’t be it.

Taylor is going between 33-44.

As I see it the picks themselves are only half the issue. Both Detroit and Jacksonville traded away highly skilled CBs in their primes so that they could draft uncertain replacements. I understand the cap management reasons but neither team needed to do it that way - both could have afforded the CBs they had with some creative roster management. What they did was tread water (or worse, if the rookies end up being busts, which Henderson at least might). We as Bills fans have seen plenty of that kind of approach, not just at CB but at RB and other positions as well. I feel like lots of teams have no real plan and decide to change out players at the same position just to look like they have a plan. But they don't. Marrone has no idea what he's doing and it amazes me that he still has a job, but I guess he found one of the few completely unaccountable organizations left in the NFL. It took Coughlin starting fights with everyone to finally get him ejected there.

I'm thinking there is like a 75% chance the Bills take a DB at 54, either Chinn/Dugger or Hall/Johnson.

No, because he might rob a Walmart. YES FOR THE BILLS PICK, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT

Joe B keeps saying it’ll be Dugger...

Is he being held hostage somewhere in the south?

Kiper looks like a freaking muppet.
