Both will be in the DL rotation this year. Rousseau has only played 15 games, and lacks any refined rush moves. Basham may not be developmental, but nothing in his skill set jumps off the page-- high effort guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breida? For all his speed, he is injured a lot and has moved around quite a bit. Little impact with Miami.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 23 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: So 2 OT's with both our Tackles signed long term, following 2 DE's? Now we've traded down to pick up extra picks when most felt we'd trade up because it'd be hard for 7 to make the roster? I don't get this Draft, at all. I understand the confusion. For a team that has been billed as win now, the first two players seem to be rotational pieces in 2021 and the two OTs are developmental players. It’s obvious that the Bills prioritized size and thought they were outweighed in the trenches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYfan Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I often wonder why I don't complain and think out loud that I am better at this than the Bill's FO. Maybe I am just a cool aid drinking sheeple. Trying to give the benefit of the doubt and see the best in people I instead think I see the theme and plan of this draft.

Good thing we have 3 6th rd picks instead of two As aeshetically pleasing as it would be to fill that spot with a draft pick...........the fact that I'd rather have Snacks Harrison and that he's a league minimum level free agent kinda' puts it in perspective for me.

SCBills Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I honestly would’ve liked Elijah Moore at 30, but doubling up Rousseau with Basham actually make me like the pick more. It seems we have an idea of what we want this DL to be, and both have talent and will play this year. The two OT’s, I get the frustration, but with Nsehke leaving, we didn’t have a swing tackle. Bobby Hart is a Tackle in name only. We throw the ball a ton and need to make sure Josh Allen is making all those throws. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the one saying that. Relax, there are many valid points that people are making that do not include the assertion that our 5th round pick will be a day one starter. Now, as for our three 6th round picks, I expect all-pros. I'm not responding to many people but rather to 1. Moreover, the better a team is built the less you are filling holes with 5th round picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah. I agree. Beane isn’t done. I expect him to sign another CB to compete for CB2. We’re months away still I’m just a huge Slaton fan. 4 years, making 700k would’ve been nice imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Hart is a Tackle in name only. We throw the ball a ton and need to make sure Josh Allen is making all those throws. When Schwartz went in Round 3 before the Bills, they looked at WR and didn’t think any of them could crack the lineup this year. And this was a weak Tight End draft on top of that. Same with these running backs, when the Memphis RB went, now you’d just be getting Singletary and Moss again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 47 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: People complaining the draft at this point is about drafting the best developmental traits. Yeah, this is kind of what Beane said they were going to do. Draft for the future. We didn't have many needs and we were picking late. So, how do you maximize your picks when selecting near the end of the draft and with a mind to building for sustained success? Pick the athletic monsters (who would have gone higher with more tape/experience, or whatever), knowing that you have time to groom them into NFl players, rather than selecting a decent player that might help some now, but might never turn into a stud. Yes, there is some risk involved (not all projects develop). But two things mitigate that, we have an excellent teaching staff who have proven they can groom players; and culture...all the guys they picked seem to have that "right DNA"...smart guys who are all about ball and improving, good people, great work ethic, competitive, and coachable. If they don't succeed, it won't be due to lack of effort. So, seems a bit lackluster now, but in 2-3 years we may look back at this draft and say Beane is a wizard. Time will tell.

Brand J Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 “So, Brandon, some would say the tackles were the strength of the offensive line last season, yet you drafted two this year when interior help was available.
