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.

If they want to meet up at the pub, I'd be happy to explain it to them, especially if they're willing to pick up the tab.

I've become bipolar on Higgins. For a number of weeks, he was my favorite day 2 WR, but then I was convinced by the pundits and some folks here that he isn't the answer at boundary WR because of lack of deep speed. Still, my natural inclination is to really like the guy. Another fella that probably is a good choice as day 2 WR is Jalen Royals. (I didn't know about Blue's fumbling issues; that's not good.) I wouldn't mind doubling up at DT. I like all the ones you mentioned. Folks appear to have cooled on Grant. Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I believe there is some hidden pass rush there. Anyway, I've already got his nickname picked out: Unconditional Surrender.

Bills have been looking at some day 2 LBs. It might be a surprise position of priority. For me, it should be DT, CB, Edge, and boundary WR with speed. (I'm not sold on Palmer being much more than replacement level, even though they spent a decent amount on him in FA.) Early on, over on some other sites, I saw a fair amount of speculation that they want to upgrade G. Personally, I would take a day 3 developmental fella, but there was some innuendo there. I don't know if it was about some dissatisfaction with Torrence or not. And overall, I agree that Beane needs to go after impact players, even if that means having less depth.

I agree. I was just pushing back on that narrow focus, though as I said, I'll certainly be fine if they decide to use some picks to improve draft position. This is also a function of spending far too much time on mock drafts, and discovering one has left out a position, or forgotten what one drafted just five minutes ago, so you end up with something embarrassing like two safeties and the like. My advice, don't drink and draft.
