That was McDermott and Whaley. Beane has fantastic while the GM for the Bills. If anything passing on Metcalf could be a mistake but I still believe in Cody Ford. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it worked out just fine with Allen. Had Arizona beat us in the bidding war to draft Allen we would have been forced to draft Josh Rosen.

It comes with the territory. But with that being said, bean & McD are going to have to be willing to spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on an offensive skill player - something they seem reluctant to do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo drafted up for Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmunds. The book isn't finished being written on them, but they should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have made a hell of a 2nd round pick I was a big Metcalf fan. Ooo well. now I am a big Shenault Jr fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad we lost when we did we’re going to be right in his range. He reminds me of Sammy but in all the good ways and without the diva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I know this thread is about Metcalf but even if you assume that Beane did not see the value, it does not excuse adding more talent at the receiving position. Emmanuel Sanders was available in the middle of the season. He could be had and yet we did not try/outbid the 49ers. He would have been a great vet presence on and off the field for a young QB. There was no excuse not to get him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 During the game they also mentioned that Metcalf was very undisciplined early in the season when it came to route running. That doesn't sound like a good match with Allen. Alot different too when you have Russell Wilson throwing you the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would not be singing his praises the same way as a result. That said, he'd be a nice toy to play with. Duke Williams is Kmart DK Metcalf. The only problem Josh had with Duke was getting the ball to stick to his hands. Saying DK wouldn’t have been productive here is a stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I really like Josh but I'll admit when you have accuracy issues as a QB a WR with height, size and hands is a best friend in waiting. DK would've been a great fit and I'm sure McBeane won't make the same mistake this off season. You have to be Brees/Rodgers accurate when you have smallish receivers like Smoke and Sauce.

0017 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I still want Bryant Johnson Mia culpa.? but seriously DK would be awesome and I can’t help but watch him play and think it would be awesome to watch Josh throw it ten yards over his head?

Doc Brown Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Besides Ford I'm very happy with our other picks in the first five rounds (Oliver, Singletary, Knox, Joseph). It's really hard to knock all your picks out of the park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put it somewhere in his vicinity to go up and get it. He would have wonderful to have here, it was a mistake not taking him in the second. Every team makes mistakes though. 1 hour ago, BillsPride12 said: The craziest part about it to me is everything I have read and seen on the kid he totally seems like a McDermott process guy. I think even back then they knew they would be going after a WR in this upcoming draft. At the end of the day you cannot fill every hole at once(that's what she said) She is wrong, I have 2 hands as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
