Every morning there's a halo hangin' from the corner
Of my girlfriend's four-post bed
I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it
For the weekend or a one-night standCouldn't understand
How to work it out
Once again as predicted, left my broken heart open
And you ripped it out -

I think it's a blend of both. Drafting a OT, TE, or Center at 30 isn't going to help us any time soon. Safety is in that argument as well.
The above is really not a given. We all know every team has multiple injuries every season. If the Bills see an OT that they have a really high rating on it wouldn't be a mistake to draft him imo. Dion Dawkins is playing very well, but he will be 31 in April. This isn't old but again, injuries do occur and imo; the most important things that the Bills can do are to protect Josh Allen and provide him with weapons. Using our best draft picks on the secondary is Jauron style "playing not to lose."
Of course, this is jmo.

First three selections on days 1 & 2:
CB, S, CB, just for you my friend
It wouldn't shock me but I expect one DT in the first 3 along with two DBs. Wait and see. Maybe this will be 2006 revisited.

Beane drafts his biggest need with his first pick. Always. His biggest need is a corner.
True. I'm sure that better receivers are a "secondary" need.
8 hours ago, Stenbar said:He did that with Elam, I'm not so sure he would take a chance with a 1st rd pick on a if come maybe CB again. I despise drafting CB's in the first rd. Very few make a huge impact, let alone stay more than one contract. Just aint worth it.
Off the charts, EXCELLENT post!!!

I know todays NFL salaries are incredibly insane, but Wiley still has a net worth North of 5M, that’s more than 99% of the population and still plenty enough of pot to piss in for a wrongdoer to take advantage of.
That being said, who the fawk knows these days. Hopefully the truth prevails, Shannon Sharp just a couple days ago stated he won’t even get into an elevator alone with a women lol.
Probably good advice for men who have resources and notoriety.
For the sake of this post, I am going to assume that his two accusers might be Columbia graduates. If so, the possibility exists that they might be worth more than 5 million dollars each. A college degree was much more of a ticket to success 30 years ago than it is today. An Ivy League degree was gold.
I don't know the facts of the case and refuse to speculate innocence or guilt. What I will say is that some great athletes are accustomed to getting their way. It has now come full circle with college players being given Lamborghinis to play on a football team, but; this mentality didn't just start.
I don't know if Wiley is guilty. None of us do but I refuse to cast and aspersions on these women for coming forward. I hope that the truth prevails.

yeah, thankfully this is a CB deep draft. I'm starting to wonder if we grab 2. Something like Amos/Morrisson, then Strong/Dotson/Parrish/Dotson/Bryant later.
Maybe even three or four.

Back then, receivers were hit at the line but then could not be grabbed, ridden around and water-skied all over the field like they are today without drawing a flag. Defense's instead dealt with them by gratuitous violence as the ball arrived and after the catch.
This is SO true. I suspect that many young fans don't realize that defensive backs were the most violent defenders. After them I would say linebackers were next and the least dangerous defenders would be the linemen.
The Oakland Raiders secondary consisted of blood thirsty, dangerous men. I remenber seeing receivers over the middle getting speared in the back, often on incomplete, overthrown passes. Receivers over the middle would leap for a ball and get wiped out. Many dbs bordered on criminal behavior imo. Today it does appear to be pass interference on a huge portion of plays.
Looking back, it is clear that the violence was excessive and players did pay the price with serious health issues. It really had to change. That said, why do you think that they now allow so much contact in the secondary?

What if said DB drafted is from bama … does it soften the blow slightly
any wrestlers at bama we should have our eye on btw
Despite being criticized last year for "thinking that I am a scout" lol, i do plan to do my usual post on Alabama draft eligible players.
Sneak Preview: Safety Malachi Moore is a VERY good player. If he was more durable I would classify him as great. The good news is that he hits like a linebacker. The bad news is that he hits like a linebacker and isn't really big or durable enough to do so. This kid is great in coverage and the run and he is very smart. If he goes in round two or three and stays healthy, he will be a star and make a team very happy.
Just my non-scout opinion.

… and @Bill from NYC will lose his mind
Sadly you are not wrong, although I am better than I used to be because I am used to it. In 2022 I was in Vegas for the draft (by mistake mind you). I made the reservations way in advance. We were in a lounge at New York, New York waiting for a table at Gallaghers and watching the draft. I told my wife they would draft a corner, but I didn't even think that they would trade up for one. She said, "I'm so sorry Honey." I was not about to lose it in front of her, and it was the best steak of my entire life.
Now, no move that McDermott makes will surprise me. I give him a 90% chance of drafting a first round corner. If not, probably a safety.

It is easy to blame the Elam trade up and selection on Beane, but who was a defensive coach for many years, McDermott or Beane? Who knows the complexities of playing cornerback, McDermott or Beane?
I am far less critical of McDermott as a coach than I once was. I do not blame him for having lost the Taylor Swift playoff game. It was stolen imo. That said, this was not his first round one cornerback fiasco. He passed on Mahomes to draft a corner 17 picks later (and was undercompensated for doing so). In 2022 he not only passed on several very good players, he actually traded UP to do so and draft Elam.
It is seemingly easier to blame Beame for these debacles, but McDermott is clearly at fault imo. He is a better coach than I originally thought but he has far too much power in the organization and should stick primarily to coaching, not team building, which he seems to be unsuited for.
Jmo.

2022 NFL Draft:
Pick 21: 1st Team All-Pro CB Trent McDuffie
Pick 22: Respectable LB - Quay Walker
Pick 23: Kaiir Elam
Pick 24: 2nd Team All-Pro OT Tyler Smith
Pick 25: Two-time Pro-Bowl C Tyler Lindenbaum
It takes skill to screw this up so badly.George Karlaftis was also there, but who needs Pro Bowl blockers and fine pass rushers when you have a chance to trade UP for a corner?

I would have given him away for free honestly. Getting rid of his cap space is a win on its own.
The amazing thing about this situation is that the Bills actually traded UP in round one to draft this cornerback. Then again, maybe it wasn't so amazing.
Pitiful nonetheless.

I fully agree. I would expand on it but it would get political and I don't want to piss off @Simon, and I swore off the Politics Board some time ago.

Or Bosa has 5 sacks and it becomes a dribbler back to the mound for Beane. You know a fa acquisition is bad when you hear dozens of comments like "when healthy" or "it's only a 1 yr deal".
I'm not so sure. Times have really changed. That deal is now considered cheap. Decades ago, when we signed the great Bryce Paup, iirc he got 3 years for 7.5 million. That was considered good money in those days.
This contract could turn out to be a bargain of sorts. Let's hope!

If it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but you call me
Tell me, and I'll be around -
Not enough emphasis on defense. We should draft defensive backs with the first four picks at the very least, and trading away picks to our rivals should not be ruled out, as long as we can get secondary help. Trading up for dbs would be a great option.
Also, why waste a 6th round pick on a receiver? There is zero reason to make life easier for Josh Allen.

What a sad, horrific story. Sadly, I have seen people who had similar experiences. I hope that somehow the person that you speak of will be OK.
