another early round bean blunder

Hmmmm, do I think Beane and McDermott have a better handle on NFL CB prospects and what is happening in NFL draft rooms...or does RyanC883 know better?

Tough call. 

[JDubya76]

Don’t hate the pick but I am almost positive he’d have been there at 25. I didn’t see a lot of first round grades on him

[starrymessenger]

not feelin it. pure need pick. ok in press but gets beat with speed.

There has to be a legit reason for the trade up. 

I’m sure it’ll be addressed.. I think much of the fan base would love to know. 

[jkeerie]

Steve Tasker called this pick on One Bills Live today!

I guess those medical concerns on Booth were pretty bad.

the best ability is availability

Protecting himself from somebody trading in front of him because everybody knows they need a corner.

Ok for the unlikely chance they didn't get him, there's Booth, Kyler Gordon available?

[DasNootz]

I’m guessing Baltimore had someone else on the line as leverage and Buffalo had reason to believe TeamX was taking him.

The best part about this pick is it is not a running back

BUT BREEECE!!!!!! 🤪

Want Lloyd out of East

[Carmel Corn]

Hoping Dallas takes Johnson, would hate to see him go to the Ravens.

like u have one either.  He is a poor tackler. Not worth trading 2 spots for a poor tackling Cb with bad int numbers

If Dallas wanted him it explains the trade up.

Nobody can criticize the pick.  The biggest need has been filled.  Now open season to go after our other big needs.  I’d love to land Breece with the second rounder but we will see. 

 

we won’t land him.   we gave up Breece Hall, our 4th, to grt Elam with Booth still likely there at 25

If McD likes a first round CB, I can’t second guess it. Measurables are there. Not a ball hawk, but a strong tackler and great in press coverage.

Tre was pick 27 right. Dane has competition! We are stacked.

Only 21 players attended the draft tonight.

Just now, Iverwig said:

I agree but there was probably another team that was going to trade up for a CB. 

Ya That's definitely  possible

yes

 

buffalo isn’t keeping all their picks. Roster is too deep.

 

you figure picks 1, 2, and 3 are on roster. Others are PS unless a major impressive camp occurs

I mean Gabe Davis was a 4th round pick at 128.    That's potentially what we just gave up.

[Bookie Man]

Seems like they like lengthy players at cb2

NO!  Never trade up!

 

WE LOVE TO DO DUMB STUFF LIKE THIS.

 

 

Yeah, what a dumb franchise, huh? I mean, when are we ever going to make the playoffs?

[OldTimer1960]

My untrained eye liked Booth and Gordon better, but if Beane thinks Elam is better, I trust him.

[Protocal69]

runs a 4.39 at 6'1. They will coach him up. Trust that

Or they played the old ring Buffalo and say "look we like a corner... if we make this pick that is what we are taking.... but if you want to come up for a 4th round pick...."

[TPS]

He must've been the only remaining CB they had an R1 grade on.

fair point.   but I think Booth is better or just as good so no reason to jump dallas.  Elam does not scream stud.

Let me know how many 6th rounders turned out to be HOFers like Brady.

[DallasMac]

Preferred Booth but I don't hate the pick.  Feel like they had the option to stay put.

[RyanC883]

whats wrong with the fsu DE that no one has taken him??

That's like being upset about giving up a 6th rounder bc that's where TB was drafted. You go get the  players you believe in.

I mean, Deion Sanders was a 1st round pick. That’s potentially who we just drafted.

 

Am I doing this right?

 

I bet you were pissed when we traded up for Allen, huh?

If they liked those guys as much as Elam they wouldn't have traded up. So they must have been pretty convinced that Elam was the best choice and didn't want to lose him.

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Friggin greenbay 😂😂😂😂

[SDS]

We do this every year. There is a specific thread to talk about the bills pack. There’s no need to weave that into a generic topic. Please post Bills stuff on the first round pick in the appropriate place.

A 5th, 2 6ths and a 7th.. wouldn’t be surprised if we’re not still drafting in the 4th.

Like I said, you don’t have a clue, probably hated the Allen pick too…

Booth’s medicals may be poor. Beane gets antsy, it’s maybe a weakness of him but Elam will be much better in McD’s zone scheme then what he was playing in college
