Bill from NYC

OK but if the above is indeed true, shouldn't McDermott shoulder some of the blame for any draft blunders? I see post after post singling out Beane, and Beane certainly doesn't appear to be making these picks in a vacuum. I have never worked in a place where more than one person had "final" say. Is it even possible? As I have previously stated, my opinion of McDermott as a coach has improved. That said, most of our early draft picks look to have his signature on it, if trading away Mahomes to the Chiefs and selecting a first round corner (before the arrival of Beane) is to be used as evidence, or at the very least suspicion of this.

Do you think that Beane has to answer to McDermott much more than Howie must answer to anyone?

You thought that you had got me in your grip Babe, it looks like you was not so smart And I became too slippery for you But, let me tell ya' that was nothing new I'm a dark horse Running on a dark race course I'm a blue moon Since I picked up my first spoon I've been a cool jerk Just looking for the source I'm a dark horse

I was at the game. He tore Alabama apart. Here are the stats..... https://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore/_/gameId/401520316

Correct. At least I had the right state!

Yes and Bryce Paup was a 6th rounder of Green Bay iirc.

It was so long ago that I don't remember the year, but it was the game where Flutie went in for a 1 or 2 yard TD against Tampa Bay in the last seconds of a game to win, after a tremendous stop by Pat Williams. The TD looked to be on a busted play. I was at this game in Rich Stadium and the fans went beserk. Old ladies actually fell on me and I wound up on the bottom of a pile of people. The madness continued into the parking lot. Great times!

Soft summer breeze and the surf rolls in To laughter of small children playin' Someone's radio has the news tuned in But nobody cares what he's sayin' Don't you know It's a turn down day, nothin' on my mind It's a turn down day and I dig it

This song brings back memories from my time in Midtown Manhattan. I actually encounterd a lunatic dressed in a plastic bag and he WAS directing traffic. The video is what the Pre Giullani NYC looked like.

Surf's up, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm Aboard a tidal wave Come about hard and join The young and often spring you gave I heard the word Wonderful thing A children's song

Leon Lett (at least for a few years) was the best I ever saw Joe Greene Aaron Donald Bob Lilly

I hate it. Not enough emphasis on safeties and corners.

Once beneath the stars The universe was ours Love was all we knew And all I knew was you I wonder if you know I wonder if you think about it Once upon a time In your wildest dreams

The thing is, I am by no means obligated to like this, or any other Bills draft. Looking back at other horrid drafts, if I thought that most of them were good I would look rather foolish. We have an all time great quarterback and did little to nothing to help him. In round one we drafted another revolving door cornerback, and didn't stop there. I am pretty sure that even those who somehow are happy with this draft will admit that the NFL is now an offense oriented league. The days of the "Steel Curtain" and the "Fearsome Foursome" are long gone. Like you, I hope for the best and will always support the Bills. That said, I have lived through some very dumb defense oriented drafts, and they didn't work even before the rule changes that favor offenses. Either way.....GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No but he can cover.

Sounds great.

I don't think so. I'm expecting a saftey and MAYBE a running back.

Are you surprised? What did you think that McDermott would do?

OK but under great restraint and on my best behavior, no? Btw which one?

I am just so proud of myself. More self control than I ever knew I had. Maybe it's because I'm not drinking lol! That said, this draft is putrid enough to make me want to run out and buy a 4 pack of Collective Arts Life in the Clouds.

You really couldn't make this up. I do however think that nobody who follows the Bills should have expected any other draft philosophy from McDermott. 🙄😔

I know that it doesn't seem to be a position of need, but I would like to see the Bills draft Alabama TE CJ Dippre. He has very good hands and can really block. He's a bg kid and I think he did 26 reps with 225 at the combines. His numbers were hindered by playing with Milroe at QB. Dippre would be great to have on the roster in case of injuries to Knox or Kincaid. Jmo.

At least we are not neglecting offensive weapons. Who needs them?

This kid is going to be great imo. I was at the Alabama vs. Arkansas in 2023 and Jackson was unstoppable. I have no idea how or why he lasted this long. I would have been perfectly happy if we took him in the second round, if not round one. Check out these game stats...... https://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore/_/gameId/401520316

Yeah it's confusing because we never make dumb draft trades, or draft undersized defensive tackles. Wait.....never mind.
