Here comes the meltdown! Beane was genius for round 1 and 2, but now he's going to be a disaster because he didn't take a WR in the 7th round.

 

Now we know what that Bills tweet a few minutes ago was about....

You never know, the Bills have shown they can really make those UFA selections count and they let them know they will grab them if they are not drafted.

 

Curious what WR UFA's they will bring in...Johnson may be on their short list.

easy with the hyperbole there... I don’t think anyone is saying he, or the draft, was a disaster but it’s more than a little surprising they didn’t pick up at least one WR in the draft.

To be fair nobody else did either, and it's not exactly a great idea to favor a player just because they're local.

 

I really though Johnson and Jackson could be drafted QB and WR would have been good positions to take a 7th round flyer on.

 

Feel bad because in one offseason UB football got ripped to shreds and none of the guys made hay in the draft

Seems that they are happy with those on the roster.

The time for this, IMO was to trade up in the 3rd and grab Metcalf instead of taking a RB. 

 

I think you are underestimating the impact the 4th string RB can have on a team's fortunes.

I have to admit that the RB in the 3rd and no WR seems odd to me. A 3rd round pick should be a starter or a highly contributing backup. I trust this administration though, they really seem to know what they are doing. 

I think it was a selection for the future.  McCoy and Gore might be gone after this season.

I don't know if it's cause we didn't have as much to do this year, but overall this felt like a really boring draft... Anyone else? 

First time in years I had that feeling.  I think the lack of big name star power in the draft had something to do with it.  All the talent was in the trenches.  The star positions (QB, WR, CB and RB) were lean in first round talent.

2020 draft is in Las Vegas.  It was supposed to coincide with the Raiders moving there.  This can be awkward if they do not.  Would the city of Buffalo ever put in for the draft?  Nashville has done a great job.

Don't like the Dolphins getting Myles Gaskin.. I like him for no explainable reason. 

I was mildly surprised that he lasted this long.

I was into the 2nd and 3rd rounds, a lot of guys I wanted and the trades were happening all over the place.

 

Then we grabbed a RB that I am not sure we could not have gotten later, but no glaring needs to fill with all the plug & play FA pickups.

 

As to receivers most scouts and evaluaters had 2nd round grades on this class, other than some standout TEs and a couple 1/2 graded WRs.

 

Looks like NFL execs and scouting depts agreed and the draft fell that way.

 

Not a lot of great QBs for this class to showcase their skills so who knows which WRs are going to excel at the next level with better opportunities to grow.

@whatdrought I had him going as high as the 4th round in some mock simulations I ran. I feel like the Phins got a gem.

 

Also, it's odd that they took back to back 7th round RB's... anyone else notice that?

So trust them then - the RB is a pick looking ahead - like a real front office does.

 

There was almost no WR in this draft that was significantly better than the 9 guys we already have - we can get the same level of talent as an UDFA.

 

I have no issues with it because they seem to have a real plan as to what they want from this roster.

 

Great Job Beane!

Down to 10 guys on my board who haven't been picked. Worth saying the first three of those are guys I had in my top 100.

And, at #251, the Rams took Last Chance U fan favorite, Dakota Allen. Pretty cool story. Glad to see this kid get a shot. If anyone watched season 1, he had a pretty big role in it. 

 

Was it series 1? I thought Dakota was series 2?
