Like they did on the offense three drafts ago I don't recall. Who was that? Never mind. I just realized you were talking about Mahomes in 2017.

Augie Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I’ve said it before, but I’d rather be in a war room for a Bills draft than a Super Bowl, Masters, Final Four or any other “sporting event” I can think of. It just fascinates me, and I’ve had a taste of some of the others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder what it is about Greg Little that caused the Panthers to prefer him over Cody Ford. Oh, and I LOL'd when the Bears offered NEXT YEAR'S 4th round pick to move up to our spot in the third round. Get real. Beane's expression said the same. My favorite part of the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was cool that Beane mentioned in one of his interviews this week that he flew in his dad and McDermott’s dad to be in the war room. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is SO COOL! You’re always happy and proud of the success of your kids, regardless of age, but that’s a grand slam! I wonder if they had to stay in the awful hotels that haunt WNY? Maybe Tommy’s dad has a therapist who could help them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 There was a vibe of professionalism that seemed to permeate the war room. Very interesting, and maybe not exactly what you would expect from an effort to draft college football players. I view it as a real positive, mature and a sense that they were confident in what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my feeling, but I think Henderson and or Montgomery both of whom went just picks before the Bills would've been the guy if they were still there. I like the both of them much more than Singletary. Yes. Methinks they scrubbed the footage to give us the instances where the Bills got the guy they were targeting. Worked out in Rounds 1 and 2 so this draft has to be viewed as a big success when you get 2 guys you were hoping you’d get in a best case scenario. But you’re not gonna get that lucky on every pick.

eball Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Man, they really wanted Ford. I like it. I’ve said it in other threads, but I think the Buffalo/Oliver match is a dream come true. 57 minutes ago, Estro said: I think there's a reason we didn't see any of that.

Ha, you guys are kidding right? They didn’t need to take a RB in the 3rd; in fact most fans figured they wouldn’t take one at all. Singletary was the highest rated player on their board at 74 by a wide margin. Edited May 3, 2019 by eball 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they genuinely felt like they got 2 1st round picks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just the way I envisioned he'd be, methodical, organized, detailed with a clear vision. I wouldn't be surprised if Pegula views Beane as the more indispensable one between he and McD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing they didn't show it out of respect for the Raiders. Also, note how many people are in the draft room. Wonder what the Raiders' draft room looked like since they sent everyone home. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Man, the NFL should find a way to sell tickets to all the draft rooms or outright sell the video of the each room or even the final draft board of every team. How cool would it be to sit in the room instead of in front of some TV? BTW in BEANE I TRUST! Edited May 3, 2019 by qwksilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
