LIVE ***NFL Draft, Day 3, coverage at noon.

[MrEpsYtown]

Also trading with terrible teams, so these picks should be higher in the rounds. 

[ScorpionZero]

Mr. Beane wants to draft Mr. Irrelevant this year.

9 picks next year - pretty cool.

 

10

Next years picks have more value, good job. HOU and LAR should both be bottom 10 teams

Stock piling picks is fine. 

 

Hyde poyer von all nearing the end

 

0 DTs under contract for 2024 

 

Basham and AJ both gone soon

 

We are going to need to add a lot of young bodies on defense the next couple of years

[SCBills]

Is Voorhees still available?

 

If we’re basically done with this draft, might as well take a flyer on him before the draft ends as, basically, another pick for ‘24. 

[No_Matter_What]

I absolutely love this. We don't have roster spots, we didn't have many picks, and if there is a reasonable chance then 2024 will be stronger draft then Beane is doing best thing he could possibly do.

They've had success at it in recent years,  but I wouldn't necessarily expect that as the norm.  In the longer term,  I think this is a better late round strategy.  

I'm liking beane getting picks for next year. We can make a trade or 2 into the 4th/5th

[jkeerie]

I'm fine with stock piling picks for next year when we'll have more available roster spots.  I've got a spread sheet with the Bills current roster plus the new additions and there is no room.  Presuming all the rookies make the team, we are going to have to cut some name players.

This is a crap draft. The 6th round next year will have better players. Gives us likely 10 picks for next year's draft. 

Next year is always better…

That's the end of the draft for the bills this year for sure.

 

Only if Beane can somehow trade out of 252 for solely 2024 picks.

[BigDingus]

Yes, I'm sure the excess of 6th & 7th round picks next year will really put us over the edge! 

 

I don't really care much tbh, but still, figured they'd at least want some fresh prospects to at least add depth or compete in camp. We were cap strapped this offseason, didn't make any big moves, and the team obviously needs more to advance, but yeah... not going to overreact over a 6th round pick either way.

[Warcodered]

Somebody basically said it earlier and it makes sense, basically trading and getting picks for next year and also to have picks to take UDFA we want to make sure want to get in the 7th.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Beane pounding the F5 trade back button to unfreeze his screen.

Assuming the Rams struggle next season, their 2024 6th is close to a late 5th. I like how Beane is building draft capital for next year.

Agreed. With our roster, we're just taking camp bodies at this point. Stock draft capital for next year

[frostbitmic]

I think we've seen our final pick of the day, nothing left to do but trade the 7th for a 2026 7th

Another extra 6th next year.... plus #252 this year. 

 

And the Rams took Evans (who I like) with the pick. 

I am really curious how Beane plans to trade down from 252

Ok now I'm really thinking maybe they are after Hopkins. I can't imagine we're using all those picks next year, or are we idk now lol.

 

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion this means we're loading up on picks specifically for Hopkins.

 

Next year's Draft is universally considered to be a deeper class. So if someone wants to give us a 7th and a 6th next year in a better class for our 6th this year, it's a no brainer.

 

Plus, Beane likes to move around the board. Extra ammo facilitates moving up if he wants next year.

[WideNine]

I was hoping for a 1-tech DT prospect - maybe Baylor's Ika, but he went right after we picked Williams in the 3rd. Pinned my hopes on taking a flyer on Coburn, but KC picked him up in the 6th.

Oh well... I can hope teams don't run on us, and Jones stays healthy. We can beat most teams with good secondary play and our offensive weapons, just gets a lot harder down the stretch when we play potent offenses that can run the ball to move the chains. Hard for me to forget the Bengals running the ball down our throats that last game.
