What ARE the Patriots doing? I actually like Jack Jones as a day 3 prospect, but he is strictly a slot and they already took Marcus Jones who is also strictly a slot. It makes no sense to me. 

Marcus Jones will be forced to only play on ST and Jack Jones will be turned into a Safety.

Badly handled, huh?  With 3 picks we got a potentially great CB, a speedy and super fast and athletic pass receiving RB, and a small, but highly productive LB (does 20 tackles, 2 sacks in a bowl game ring a bell).  I think that we have done just fine thus far. 

 

Elam was a good pick but we lost the fourth round pick to get him; Cook was a slight reach as he's more of a third round pick though I can see exactly why we went for him. Bernard was a fourth or fifth rounder again picked early.

 

This could be a draft that is looked back upon as a stunning one if they come off; I really hope so. But we have ended up with a trade which resulted us in losing our fourth round pick, reaching for two other players and a bizarre number of six round picks which are very unlikely to make any real impact. If you're going to put the franchises in order of success I think the Bills come in the bottom third.

I personally hope they stay put and keep those 6th rounders, this staff has found numerous late round steals - Levi Wallace, Taron Johnson, Dane Jackson, Matt Milano, Gabriel Dais come to mind. I know Davis and Johnson were 4th round picks but still I mean mid to late round pick.

Two commercials I’m absolutely sick of so far during the draft:

 

1. Ewan McGregor Travel

2. Pizza Hut big box 

 

You should try watching it in the UK on Sky. The same trailers over and over again. It'll be the same for the evening games from September; no originality whatsoever!

Stud rookies can contribute. I didn’t say they’re as good as Buffalo.. just said they have picked up some solid prospects and have seemingly closed the gap some. If Wilson can be serviceable and the rookies play well, might not be the dumpster fire everyone is still expecting. 

The Jets have to deal with Becton’s weight issue and a generally sour locker room , hoping the young studs don’t fall into the poor culture…

 

tough ask.

I know he's a tiny smurf, but I'm really surprised that WR Calvin Austin III hasn't gone yet. Game changing speed and athleticism, and won out wide -- not just in the slot -- in college.

 

He tested better than his actual athleticism showed on film. I had him a little higher than this - late 3rd - but I can understand why he is sliding.

OK, maybe I need to take my comment back about the sixth rounders!

If McKissic doesn't renege on his signing with the Bills I wonder who Beane would have taken in the 2nd? But yeah, in retrospect, the Cook selection is now quite obvious as he has a similar skill set to McKissic in the passing game.

Cook probably has a higher ceiling.  But yeah, is he drafted if McKissic was signed?

Gabriel Davis, Taron Johnson were 4th rounders but still, mid to late picks haven't been horrible at all for us and I still think late round pick WR Isiah Hoggins will find a place on our roster possibly this year.

That's why I really wish we had a fourth round pick.

Yeah, best kicker by far for a team with the worst kicker by far. And Winfrey earlier. Just terrible......

Im sorry. It’s very bad in my opinion. I hope it works out for you! My buddy is a browns fan and is texting me on suicide watch. Normally a homer, he’s finally turned

Thank goodness for all the football experts here who know more than the Bills’ professional staff. I wouldn’t know what to think, otherwise.

With all these WRs going earlier,  it may just be that most teams are done at WR and there's more supply through the mid rounds than demand.  That could be good for the Bills if they want to take a WR in R5 or trade up at some point.

Yeah that pick at 130 would have put the Bills over the top.  (sarcasm  alert).   Beane has a great track record.  ELam is a rock solid pick.  Cook was taken in the second to last selection of the second round (the range where he was slotted).  Bernard is productive player.  He is a tweener like Milano and will surprise with his play.

“Draft value” according to whom?  The talking heads whose job entails playing pretend GM who have no accountability with the predictions they make?

 

The bottom line is finding players that will contribute to the overall success of the team.  We won’t know that for another year or two but on the surface it appears to me that Both Cook and Elam could very well be upgrades over what we had and that hopefully Terrell can be a quality Special team we who provides quality depth and a situational piece when called upon.

I mean, not saying he's a HoF player.  But people on here were talking about taking a punter in the 4th. Kickers are WAY more important.

With respect, as fans why do we even rate the players. General managers know everything and have all the tools they need. As a fan, there is no need to project, critique, or predict draft choices.  Trust Beane and give him the benefit of the doubt. It is silly to disagree with his picks. Doing so will only make you look foolish

in response to the bolded for me I believe that Beane has earned the right for me to give him the benefit of the doubt as far as draft picks are concerned.

 

Is his record perfect? NO Is Brandon Beane a perfect General Manager? One of the best in the business but noone is 100% perfect. In my view his

 

true record won't be told until we know how many Lombardi trophies his tenure garnered. I think he is doing Everything humanly possible to

 

accomplish just that.
