I can almost guarantee he's pissed because he wanted Parham as he was talking about him as a 2nd round pick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone will post a clip ABC didn't say a single word about either Bills pick this evening. If there was some pre-draft hype about a player, they'll talk about him. Otherwise they're too busy having guest stars banter with the host and commentators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think of is Bernard and Cross were looked at for the same position. More for a big nickel TE stopper than a traditional LB or Safety. Might have just preferred Bernard over Cross and others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Brandt was incredible but this was a truly puzzling pick. LB only makes sense if it's an Edmunds replacement. This is a Milano backup I think they'll regret passing on some much better players here 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Is he the 3rd LB if Bills play more 3 LB sets? Seems like he could put on some extra muscle... probably can cover TEs pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the attitude is "We have Josh Allen, so who needs playmakers on offense. And while we're at it, let's draft a 5th rounder in the 3rd." Are we becoming the Packers of the AFC?

Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 1 minute ago, LEBills said: Total McDermott pick Baylor’s coach Dave Aranda is a close buddy of McD. I think this is a poor pick being the third round is early for him. they must have been worried he would go prior to our fifth round pick. However, last pick McDermott got Aranda’s incite on was Tre White as he had been Tre’s DC at LSU. So let’s hope they know a lot more than we do! Tre was a consensus 1st rounder. This guy is an undersized LB that will be lucky to replace Matakevich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScorpionZero Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Strengths Scouts rave about his leadership and character. Never-quit attitude despite adversity. Film junkie who rang up 100-plus tackles in 2019 and 2021. Rapid read and response against play-action. On a continuous quest to go get the football. Loose and fluid in pursuit and change of direction. Bends and flattens off the corner as a blitzer. Speed to cover man targets underneath. Weaknesses Slender frame might be maxed out. Gets caught up too easily in the clutter. Engulfed by size if he's not proactive. Struggles to fit and hold a gap. Knocked off-balance by redirect blocks. Loses pursuit leverage, allowing back to cross his face. Angles to runner leave little margin for error as tackler. Average coverage recognition. Has had foot, shoulder and knee injuries at Baylor. Sources Tell Us "If you don't like Bernard, then you don't like smart team leaders who can run. It's that simple." -- Scout for NFC team. I don't have any input, I'm lost. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Dude certainly checks a lot of the boxes for them, experience, character, leadership, productive, etc. It doesn’t appear to be the most popular pick but I’m gonna wait and see how they utilize the guy and how they coach him up and all that. Again, BBB gets the benefit of the doubt from me, way more hits than misses. It ain’t exactly the Cadillac of prospect groups for this year either so… 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Murdock Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Even Kiper couldn't really find anything good to say. Likes his height. I guess this another "Trust Beans" pick?
