EmotionallyUnstable Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Once again, the Bills PR team knocks it out of the park. Love it. Thanks for posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Really great insights just from watching. Look at Beane's intensity. He is completely locked into what he's doing. And he doesn't even ask McDermott - he hears the trade offer, picks up the phone and says "we'll do it." THEN he tells McD and presumably the Pegulas what he's doing. Surely, he already knew that McDermott would be happy with the pick. Didn't have to check. And Elam's reaction when he realized that (1) he's going to the Bills and (2) that they traded up for him. Bills must have been high on his list, and for good reason: A chance to start from day one on a Super Bowl contender. Great video. Thanks for posting. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Not sure if this was happening at OBD during the live shots, but some of the war rooms were way over the top in terms of hugs, handshakes, fist bumps and high fives after making a pick. It seemed more ridiculous especially for Day 3 picks. 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateHookerMD Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I always love these. This one is relatively tame and bland compared to years past. Still fun to watch. Didn't give much away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 This video says it all. Dude has a notebook at the Combine of how each receiver beat him, techniques they used, and how he will counter that technique next game. How do you not move up to grab him? Interesting that they were talking about "points". Good to know all those draft "points" charts aren't just so much bull####. Great look inside the inner workings of the draft. 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 McD looks like a he wants to marry him once he starts explaining his notebook. You can see McD right at the end of that section trying not to smile and doing everything he can to restrain his glee. 1 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Fascinating and fun to watch. What they don't show is also interesting, namely any discussion about any other cornerbacks. For whatever reason, there is stuff they are going to keep in house, and death to anyone who leaks it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 With the snippet from the pre-draft interview, no wonder Beane told him he knocked it out the park. Seems like he's into the process of his own accord, no surprise they felt good about his 'character'. I think it was interesting that the guys who were just doing a quick review of the tape, were in no doubt Elam was a guy who would fit well for us. Indicates that he was pretty well up on their board, and that Beane was not messing about when he said that need, fit and value, all came together to get the pick done - even at the cost of the 4th rounder.

Also pretty ridiculous the chart had it at a 4th and 6th rounder to move up 2 spots (with Bills losing 5 pts). They didn’t maximize their value in those 2nd round trades, ended up losing points, but at least one of those 6s landed Araiza. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Anyone noticed they used Pro Football Focus. A lot of PFF haters will be angry. Also I think McDermott got a little chubby when Kaiir broke out the notes.

They cut out a lot so we don't know what was being discussed behind the scenes. But it's clear that Beane is in charge of the draft process.

But it's clear that Beane is in charge of the draft process. Definitely would be interesting to see the unedited version. Everything we hear from these guys is that they collaborate on everything, so if we saw ten or 15 minutes unedited, I'd guess that Beane was prowling the room, talking to people. I don't think Beane made the decision without a lot of input, but I was interested, as you, in his decisiveness. No fear. Just answer the question and make the call. Interesting also to see them using their draft value chart to make the decision. Overpaying by literally a few points did not phase Beane in the least. He wasn't going to let pennies get in the way of what he thought was the right decision. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 We will have the best CB duo in the league by December and for the next 3-5 years. That is a necessity in this conference. The only contenders with a defense like this is the Chargers and maybe the Browns I can't take either team seriously right now as they are doing it by bringing in guys looking to get paid and are so elite at what they do they've been traded twice (Mack.) And I think the Broncos D is grossly overrated. It's ok. Just not this force the media hypes it to be. No way. Team comradare matters. The other teams will look like sure they have it to some extent. But no way is there any team in the league with a locker room like this as talented as this. That's what we have over everyone else. Oh yea and 17.

Yes, I think this is just a teaser for the full "Embedded" draft video to air later---as the final title card said "Buffalo Bills Embedded: Coming Soon" Love seeing inside the draft room, player meetings, and when the players arrive, etc. The Bills media team under the Pegulas (PSE) is top notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't they saying that two picks would have been overpaying by a few points, so they decided to only offer the 4th because he thought just the 4th would get it done? That's how I interpreted it. I'll have to watch that part again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying the fourth and pick 185 would be overpaying by five points. Then they said "being that close, the fourth should get it done" and they all agreed. And then when Beane was on the phone with the Ravens he only mentioned pick 130 as part of the trade. So I bet the Bills came out ahead in the value according to whatever chart they were using, ultimately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of another player who plays (played?) for us, a defense lineman, who had a book with every play he played, what he could have done, etc. I cannot remember player's name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
