But maybe that's why we are home and they are kings. Don't like Clemson players, not at all, not for the Bills. The team got better tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the opposite. If Zach isn’t the answer then nailing a draft this year actually hurts their ability to get a top Qb next season.

There are embedded pieces that talk about this. They don’t limit it to one position. If you believe Beane, then yes, they didn’t have a first round grade on Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Greg Cossell gave a precise evaluation on Elam. He will fit in very well opposite Tre. 4.39 speed and is a physical CB.

SuperBowl contenders bc of the GM, but heaven forbid we use the draft as intended to fill a need... you are right.... total clown show... Ease up fella. No need to get upset. I would hardly say I was complaining.. just stating that our hands seem to have been tied and teams somewhat knew it. I’m baffled that my comment triggered you that much. I’m a huge Beane supporter and I trust the guy, but I saw this exact scenario coming from a mile away. Is what it is. We needed a corner.

Ralonzo Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 3 minutes ago, Playoffs? said: Doubt Beane is very happy right now. Not about the pick itself, but because he was forced into a move and had to pay for it, versus waiting and or having leverage. Leaving that void at CB obviated taking BPA, I don't believe for a moment Lloyd didn't have a R1 grade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 1 minute ago, SCBills said: Not sure what happened with Jermaine Johnson, or why Beane apparently didn’t have a 1st RD grade on him, but the Jets - on paper - look to have had a great RD1 with 3 potential impact players. I definitely trust the Jets GM over Beane. Bills only had the #1 defense and #3 offense. Jets had the 32nd defense and 26th offense. Johnson had a 14% pass rush win rate which is not simply low, but truly abysmal. He may be good, but I wouldn't be sure he actually wins a position on actual production this year and they certainly couldn't put him on the practice squad.

No_Matter_What Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 5 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: It happens. It was an overpay by the value of trades in this first round, but it is pretty much bang on the JJ chart value. I am not talking about value of the trade. I am talking about being desperate to trade up because you have 1 player with 1st round grade left and it happens to be a player on the position of need and everybody knows it. It is not a big deal I love Beane just saying that this looks like a panic move (by his own words) and it was not his best moment. I am actually very surprised by what he said. It doesn't make him look good. And he could've say many different things. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post is sensible. The previous one was unnecessarily throwing shade. Nothing personal, its a message board. That said, ever read the Pats board or Chiefs planet? The ignorance and entitlement is unbearable. Bills fans are better than that. Winning is fun, but that previous 20 years sucked.

CaliBills Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Elam is the pick to try and counter Hill being on the dolphins and any other speed receiver because lets be frank, speed (especially hill) has killed this team in very important games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he thought McDuffie was going to be there then scrambled to get the last CB on their board. Im sure he will be a perfectly fine player but giving up a 4th was typical Beane head scratcher.
