st pete gogolak Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 In 2020, the Eagles desperately needed WR help. First round pick was Jalen Reagor. Very next pick was Justin Jefferson. Reagor is no longer with the Eagles. Jefferson is one of the best two or three WR in the league. Maybe the best. Yet, Eagles are in NFC Championship a couple of years later. Beane's been far from perfect and we all know the list trading Wyatt Teller, picking Ford over Metcalf and A.J. Brown, Basham instead of Humphrey, Bernard instead of Parham, hell even Oliver instead of Simmons. Some of that is hindsight, some of it is not. Point is, none of those "mistakes" are fatal. This is, however, an enormously consequential off-season for Beane and the team. He needs to make rebuild of the offensive line number one priority (same as KC did after Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay), establish a legitimate running game that doesn't depend on Allen, somehow introduce flexibility into a defense that has grown way too stale and hope we can avoid serious injuries. Not saying it will happen but there is certainly hope that he can fix what is obviously broken. 7 2 3 Quote

Boatdrinks Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Of course they do. Those who make the fewest win championships. They have to hit on a QB ( check) a few mid rounders that outperform, and the high picks have to feature a few all pro level performers. Beane is out of Mulligans with the high picks. 3 2 1 Quote
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 It would easier to point out Beane's good moves than it would be to point out his multitude of mistakes. He's a joke. 2 3 1 1 1 2 Quote

Simon Says Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Nice breakdown 1. Rebuild OLine 2. Impoved run game with less reliance on Josh . Teams have learned that if they contain him,he is less dangerous 3. Stale defense Edited January 29, 2023 by Herb Nightly Quote

Expand Yep, they do, except some make less mistakes than others and that's what separates great GMs from average or poor GMs. If you strike out with draft picks for a few years, that's going to catch up to you. You're left with too many holes to fill and you don't have the cap space to fill those holes from free agency. Beane needs to ace this year's draft to keep the Bills competitive. Quote

The team won on the back of Allen and diggs. They spent 5 out of their last 7 1st or 2nd round picks on defense. The only 1st round picks they used for offense, was to trade for diggs. They need to get better on the side of the ball that they are paying their star players on. Edited January 29, 2023 by The Wiz Quote
