Just from the short amount I’ve seen I really like it. So so decisive. Instincts out the wazoo. Definitely not an Edmunds so there is that. I've done a ton of mock drafts, and I was honestly stunned bc he never came up for me. That's just who he reminds of of after watching a few highlights and looking at his measurements.

He’s more right than wrong Truthfully he's not, but no team is. his drafting overall is very meh. But he's hit two HR's in Allen and Gabe Davis. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) He is stupid fast on his tape. Looks like he’s playing at 1.5 speed compared to everyone else. Edited April 30, 2022 by SCBills 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCofNC Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Yeah.. I’m going to say it, Beane thinks he’s smarter than everyone else and history proves otherwise. Without Allen, McBeane is bagging groceries. 1 2 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milanos Milano Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Look how fluid he is in the lanes. He just fully weaves his way in and is constantly around the LOS. That is such a odd sighting for this team, he will help for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruffalo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I'm still not convinced that it was the best pick, but I can kind of understand the logic after watching some of his highlights and seeing how he profiles. Beane has earned trust and I love picks 1 and 2, this one is just more of that reach. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I believe BBB knows a bit more about football than myself. I'll say he's a good pick, until proven otherwise. Honestly. Gotta stop freaking out about a backup. 5 years ago up to the 4th round, and sometimes the 5th round, we needed to hit on every player. Not anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring an injury, is he pushing Milano or Edmunds for a spot? I don't think that's likely. Are we running more base package? I don't know about that either.

ScorpionZero Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Why when you look up bills draft picks does it say we drafted McBride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Noggin Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) It's a Belichickian reach, in that there was trusted insider intel on the prospect (his college coach and McD are tight), and the team is therefore confident in the fit. (The traits are there, too.) Again, while it doesn't maximize draft value, nabbing Logan Mankins at the end of rd 1 to the ridicule of everyone on the outside, worked out pretty well for BB back when. (And of course Brady is a HUGE part of that. Luckily, we've got a guy, too.) Edited April 30, 2022 by Richard Noggin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Welcome to Buffalo Terrell Bernard - I hope you have a recipe for Crow. Can see him in a Milano/ Neal role. Also if he can replace Matakevitch on ST that clears up 2.5 Million He does play fast and has a sh!t ton of instinct. Put his football processor in Edmunds and you have a beast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Not addressing WR depth and our IOL being two “we hope they’re good” guys and then Ford/Quessenberry/Mancz being the healthy depth has probably skewed my initial reaction of a guy I’ve never heard of. His tape is pretty filthy. Beane wanted to get faster on defense and this linebacker is decisive, explosive and fast. What we do with him.. no idea. But his tape is intriguing. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He never made a visit or talked with the Bills as far as we know, right? It’s interesting they’d choose him over some players who did meet with the team. I’ll reserve judgment on if they could’ve got him at the end of round 5, but I would’ve rolled the dice with a couple of the other prospects first. Hopefully this is a Terrence McGee level steal, haven’t had one of those in quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
