sven233 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I'll admit I don't know anything about this guy. He may turn out to be a fine player. But, if you wanted to get an undersized LB that can run, why not trade up a handful of spots and get Dean? Oh well...... We'll see what happens. Some people are saying he is just like Milano. Time will tell. Edited April 30, 2022 by sven233 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 1 minute ago, Shake_My_Head said: Yes, it does. Almost makes you think they're preparing for Milano to go in favor of keeping Edmunds. A real head scratcher. I thought that but then remembered they kicked the can on Milano's deal this spring... so there is no easy out next year.

PauleeeWalnuts Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I can’t wrap my head around that pick in the 3rd, or what their board must look like. Very underwhelming, head-scratchy draft for Beane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 What's confusing for me is not the pick, don't know I'll trust Beane and McDermott on that, but we have no 4th round pick and a buttload of 6th round ones, so are we going to be moving up into the 4th and 5th rounds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFBillsfan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Really headscratching pick. Seems pretty likely he would have been there in a later round.

I don't have any view at all on Bernard. Not saying he is a bad pick. I just haven't watched any of him. Did watch some Baylor defense for JT Woods' evaluation and I can't say he flashed to me in the course of that but I'll have to try and find some of his film to watch. Breece Hall destroyed their defense!! But I digress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I'd love to hear McBeane's reasoning on this - Elam made sense, Cook made sense, Bernard...?

Yantha Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) The newest LB Bernard is the answer to some blown plays in the playoffs by linebackers.... Bernard may not start, but he IS fast and is described as a hybrid safety/linebacker, with excellent coverage skills. In a pass-happy league, Bernard may bring a new element to our depth chart. I'm very surprised with a round 3 pick on this prospect....... but he's a Bill. Hope he becomes everything Beane feels he can be. Is he the answer to Kelce?? Time will tell.

davefan66 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Athlon Sports has Bernard rated 10th outside LB. Projected 4th/5th round. Great pursuit. Sideline to sideline. Good burst. Fast enough in coverage to cover TE's. Undersized. Tough to shed blocks at 2nd level. Gets out of position. Developmental Will. Interesting Brown and Glab have not gotten on the Bills app to talk about his pick. Edited April 30, 2022 by davefan66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious draft grades are subjective but don’t see how this pick is any better than a C. IOL or TE would have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydboy12 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I don’t hate the pick. I do think the Bills have overthought this draft. This guy competes and can be a good back up for Milano. My problem is I think there were opportunities to draft Edmunds replacement in the second and they punted. And I wish we had traded down out of the first and taken McCreary in the second. Think he’s a better player than Elam. But we will see and I hope it pans out. Edited April 30, 2022 by Floydboy12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
