BuffaloBill Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Cook looks like he has the opportunity to strongly contribute Shakir will make the roster and might be the steal of the draft Benford is supposedly outplaying a first round pick and if Shakir wasn’t the steal of the draft maybe he is Araiza may live up to his nickname Spector may be playing himself on to the roster Ok its only preseason but man if Elam comes around as expected the draft may look to be huge a couple of years down the road. 15 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yeah but Tenuda looked pretty awful at times, so you have to admit Beane really ***** the bed on that one, proving once again he sucks at evaluating OL talent. /sarcasm 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 One thing about this draft class, compared to last years… Last year our impact picks were two EDGE and a very raw, elite traits Tackle prospect. Followed by another raw, traits Tackle prospect. Two late round picks got scooped off the PS. Hamlin buried on the depth chart but people are high on him. Lots of development in the positions drafted last year. EDGE and Tackle typically aren’t just plug, play and look amazing, unless you draft Top 10 guys. This year we drafted positions that can plug, play and make an impact … CB, RB, LB, WR with a Punter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that you can deny that the guy had physical talent. The Bills front office has done a good job of assessing talent. They have picked well outside of RB, O-line and d-line picks (maybe) as the jury is still out on several. They also do a very good job picking players with a “want to” attitude and physical talent. I did not say in my OP that all of the picks were locks. I simply said the early view is that several will make the roster and contribute. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry but I thought as a group we came to the conclusion that, since all of Beane’s picks aren’t all-pros (unlike other teams that only draft all-pros), Dane is a terrible GM.

Sure looks like its going to be gold (very early however). It would be a unique one I'd say, usually a team that is the the Vegas favorite I'd assume is hard for rookies to make, but it seems as if Beane nailed this draft!!!

All but one of your links are threads created the day after the draft in April. meanwhile, the OPs post was triggered by and consists of talk of actual play of the rookies in preseason and training camp….mid august. if you think those posts are the same, than you probably think Lamar Jackson and Tyrod Taylor are the similar. Tyrod is a scrambling qb that doesn’t scramble that well. LJ is the best QB runner ever. Tyrod has 59 TDs passes in 78 games. Lamar has 84 TDs in 58 games. They are both dual threat QBs.
