Just kidding (sort of). He has a good name. A stud based on what? Let's be honest, how much do truly know of these kids outside what the media has been telling you? How much do you know of them outside of YouTube highlight reels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver was clearly BPA on everyone's board and a huge need as well. They had their choice of a number of RT but Ford was the guy they wanted. They tried to trade back into the first for him and passed on other players at the same position. I believe he was BPA. Singeltary is a running back, not really a need, and there were a bunch of players of positions of need in the board at the time. And finally, he traded up for Knox as well, and a whole bunch of tight ends have been drafted since then. I don't think he would have been there in the 4th. He targeted guys and grabbed them. So Oliver and Singeltary had to be BPAs, and he went and got Ford and Knox. 2 Yep. Plus BPA means different things to different people. Listening to Beane talk, his definition of BPA is not "Best Player Available Regardless of Position and the Buffalo Bills." His definition of BPA is the "Best Player Available in positions of need that we moved up our board higher than better players that we are not going to or likely to pick because of who we have and who is left." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every GM says this, and then every GM picks for need. They weren't coming out of this draft without a TE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I recognize that Beane cannot fall into the trap of being so tied to a pick that he gets into a bidding war situation that ruins their board. I get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think AJ Brown will have a nice career as number 2. I wasn’t a huge DK fan but he landed in a great situation and we will see him making big plays there even if he is inconsistent. And these scouts and front office people aren’t Gods. They make huge mistakes all the time. I think this will be a guy that will fall in category of whatever TEs of Bills past. I do hope I’m wrong but you figured out how to a guy with skills more than 0 tds. Especially after your big receiver gets hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 What is with the fascination of drafting a WR in the 3rd round over Singletary. You get a value pick at RB over a WR that may not even have the opportunity to make an impact for a few years, much less at all. Have you seen our receiving core lately? Gore and Shady are only 1 year. TJ Yeldon isn't a franchise guy. Singletary can be that guy for 8+ years. I love the pick. Yet some couch potato that has read some media guy's mock draft think they know more than scouts and executives getting paid 6 figures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 He runs like a battleship, but without a battleship's agility. He's a TE, alright. He actually looks slow in the Ole Miss highlights I've checked...but no slower than anyone else playing for Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not make bs claims....you had a certain group of players you wanted that you didnt get.....it is as simple as that Coach McD was responsible for Zay. He hired his WR coach who recommended Zay heavily and then the coach was canned after a year with a golden parachute.

Someone needs to call Secret Service. 100 dollar bills are the most counterfeited bills by overseas producers (i.e. Korea) and we have one on the board.

He's a professional now, not a college kid, and he needs to act like it. Maybe Lorax or Frank Gore should kick his a$$. What? It's arguably the biggest night of his life and he recorded a friend jumping through a table. I'm having issues seeing what the big deal is here.
