Hapless Bills Fan

They look furious. 

 

It's kind of pathetic how sensitive Bills fans are.

Personally, still stung by Gilmore. Never forget his look when we drafted him. Been oversensitive ever since. Can't help it.

 

However, I am totally relaxed about Cook now having seen the context and early intervview.

I love this pick for the next 4 years.  
 

I thought we missed the boat by not trading up in rd 2 for Skyy moore, Pickens, McBride or Pierce.  We missed the boat on the top playmakers and RBs so trading back was the right move.  Getting 2 additional picks and drafting the best playmaker on the board.  Sure, it would’ve been nice to trade back further, but missing out on him would’ve really stunk.  
 

It might not be the value that some like, but we added someone that’s dangerous with the ball in his hands and catching out of the backfield.  Great teams can afford luxuries.  Let’s enjoy him.  He’s fun  

I'm still kind of upset we watched all those WRs go before us and didn't make a move. But at the end of the day we added a playmaker on O, which was needed big time. I like it.

great post for only your 26th post. seems like a good number to walk away at. wishing IR on our 2nd rd pick because your legendary scouting is better than beane? draft really brings out the worst of our fanbase

Completely unfair. Nobody's wishing IR it's just injuries are a large part of the game. This guy is not your inside bruising type he's finesse and doesn't fit the need everyone is excited he might fill. He's gonna disappear in this climate

not sure what that has to do with it.  if Knox was just a blocking TE and someone said he's going to come in and catch a bunch of TD's i would say no he's just a blocking TE.  Cook is just a receiving change of pace RB, he's not a starter


he had over 1000 yards of production last year (728/284) as a “not starter” in a “running back by committee” GA program. Who gives a crap

if he doesn’t start? None of our current backups could come close to that.

Cody Ford, Epenesa and Boogie haven't blown anybody away yet.

 

Not the same thing as throwing it in the garbage. This wasn't the Jets taking Christian Hackenberg in the second a few years ago, this is a shifty and explosive back that we really needed.

And? Did he start? All I said was he's not a starter why would you think he would come in and be a starter here after never starting in college? He's a 3rd down pass catching back, change of pace

😅 the saving grace…. “Allen can do it all… especially when McBeane force his hand”.

Mellow dramatic much? You do this every season, please control your desire to post your displeasure/ opinion on this fifty plus times, try this instead; Count the number of pass catchers that we so far have on this offense, lots of play makers, and now yet another weapon for opposing defenses to have to plan for, 

 

Go Bills!!!

It’s kinda funny I was telling everyone I talk to we just need to find our Dalvin Cook in this draft and our offense will be unstoppable!! And guess what? We got his younger faster brother! His vision and catching are top notch! This is going to be fun to watch next year!! I love this team and what they do!! 🍻

While I can see the excitement he is not anywhere close to the runner that Dalvin is. He is similar as a pass catcher but Dalvin is a better runner and blocker by a mile

Amen brother.  It was painful to watch those WR go.  So painful.  Knowing all along that the chiefs would get Moore.  The perfect fit for that system. Meanwhile schoen drafts Robinson and Bb drafts Thornton…..wtf

Is this how incredibly petty you are? 
 

You typically are strong with WR draft picks…remember when you called Denzel Mims a weapon? 😂

Also Crowder >> Beasley 

 

oh wait … that backfired as he’s now here so now what

Death, taxes, and Beane throwing his second round pick in the garbage.

 

 

There is a bit of a "needy" fill to this draft so far. ;)

 

Like maybe if Levi Wallace had been wearing different underwear and JD McKissic hadn't reneged they might have drafted 2 players at entirely different positions. :lol:

 

If $7M worth of free agents changed your round 1 and 2 draft process......that's not a great sign.

 

I like both players though.    Cooks is the best RB in the pass game in this draft IMO.

I wonder if players sometimes make it clear where they want to go, and if the feeling is mutual other franchises decide to leave well alone?

i forgot only power backs can play in the one snow game we get every two years, but not shifty guys. just ask powerhouse straight line runner Shady McCoy

Another weapon for Josh that makes us even more dangerous. Absolutely love the pick.

I told my buddy last week, if the bills answer the question at cb, get a rb that can take a check down and burn a linebacker, ill be happy. So to say the least I'm happy.
