This is an entirely reasonable post, but I won't believe it until Beane actually acts upon these suppositions.

Given the height on the DL, I'm hoping blocked shots, too.

That's got to change.

I agree with all of this, but it is also now true that the expectation is and should be that the defense is not going to be a liability, especially when it matters in the playoffs.

Praying hands emoji.

It is really the opposite of due diligence if this was not thoroughly investigated by the Bills. It's not like the media posts haven't been around for years, apparently.

Nope. Everyone knows it was bad. It wasn't bad, you can't take a WR in the draft bad.

Wow, I figured he'd be gone by now.

Sad thing is I would take Dolac at 240. If I get one pick at 206, I'd like Elijhah Badger.

Says as the Bills take another CB. You can have 206 and 240 . . .

He's perfect if you want a TE that is only good at blocking. He's good at that, though.

I think we found Beane's burner account @Mister Defense.

The Meltdown is well-deserved.

Wonder if anyone is blinking in Morse code?

I took him in about half my mock drafts. I also took a WR.

We just spent the bulk of FA and the prime day 1 and 2 draft picks on defense, and let's keep going and ignore WR? Terrible. Trade up from 132 and get someone like Horton, Royals, or Ayomanor. You might be able to wait at 132 for Thornton, I dunno, but take one and make Josh Allen's job easier, and just be decent about the other side of the ball, McBeane.

They think he brings significant interior pass rush; that's the only calculus that makes the trade worth it. And we don't have 3 or 4 guys right now who do that.

Einstein bad at math, who knew?

@Kirby Jackson

He'd be a great pick, and a top 10 talent, imo.

I've got backups to make sure there is repetitive heartbreak.

Don't like him, so you're probably right.

I really thought he would go earlier, but I guess positional value has him falling within range. Grant is still my favorite, though I'm probably seeing more potential pass rush, because most of the folks that are keen on film study and the like don't seem to share my enthusiasm. I'm not sure about Nolen's character, and he's a 3T, but really good. Harmon is impressive, but there are some kind of injury concerns, and I just like Grant better, though again, I sense I'm in the minority there. Still, I'd be really happy with Starks, and if we trade up to get him, I won't be one of the many of the board who will be blowing a gasket. (I'd rather get him at 30, however.)

I really like him, though I'm an UGA fan, so you can write that off as a built in bias. I personally think he's a bit better than your assessment in the excellent podcast you did with GunnerBill. In my view, he's a double that could stretch out to a triple, to use your analogy. Another way I'd put it. I think he has a high floor and a better ceiling than you may think. He has that intangible that makes plays.

Well, I live in Georgia, so that's probably outside the travel range. However, I can arrange to meet at Flanagan's & The Half Moon pub. They have Guinness on tap. The more I think about it, the more I think maybe Beane needs to loosen up a bit.
