Let’s hope poor Matt Milano doesn’t see this. He will feel like Leo DiCaprio’s girlfriend on their 25th birthday.

 

Matt's still on the list, but losing Stef and JoPo in a single offseason was a blow.

I really like these, they give you a small insight on what's going on behind the scenes which is always really cool. The only thing that struck me that Brandon Beane said is that in a deep defensive draft like this he had no problem doubling up on a position. Wasn't last year one of the deepest WR classes? We only came away with Keon Coleman which I thought we should have doubled up on WR, Imagine if we could have drafted Coleman and traded up to get Ladd McKonkey? I think we'd be in a much better spot (I like Bishop but I'd rather have that WR duo right now). Anyways it is what it is that was my only gripe, the rest of the video was awesome, alot of dreams came true for these guys which is always good to see.

This is something I’ve had an issue with since last year. Beane had the chance to get a burner (that they have been talking about for several years) in the mid rounds and didn’t do it. I am still baffled at how he didn’t double down, especially after losing Diggs. That one doesn’t make sense and probably never will. IMO, he deserves the criticism about not valuing wr like he should.

This makes me feel more confident in my theory that the whole thing was somewhat of a planned stunt. I don't think Beane goes off like that unless he gets the okay from Pegula. Wouldn't surprise me if WGR knew about it ahead of time too, free content for them for a full week in a slow part of the NFL offseason schedule.

I just watched it and see it a bit differently. There was geninune excitement ,for the first three picks. it was a good mix of being patient/aggressive when they needed to be.  They also struck favorable draft deals. I think they walked out feeling elated. I think Beane was genuinely taken aback by Jeremy's comments.

This could be an epic draft class. Pretty exciting.

Curious why you think the Bills would plan a stunt like that? What would you say their reason for it was and what do you think they had to gain from it? (genuinely asking, not trying to be a jerk). Beane is definitely not the type to do it just for headlines. If he did it on purpose I feel like there would have to be some strategic reason for it and I can’t think of one that makes sense to me. 

 

Personally, I feel like it just created drama with no real benefit to the Bills. I also feel like it puts a target on Beane’s back if the wide receiver room (or Allen) struggle this season. The clip of him going on a rant about WR’s will be played on an endless loop if that happens.

Well they're ultimately an entertainment business and that appearance earned them a lot of positive attention, which is a very profitable outcome for the organization. The rant to me also felt rehearsed. Like when Beane paused for a second and Jeremy White started stammering "uh, uh" and Beane interrupted him "let me finish" like he was waiting to say that. I'm not a conspiracy nut and I'm not saying I know for sure it was a stunt, but everything this regime has done on the public facing side has been very calculated from day one. So that's my theory.

I don't know if WGR was in on it but I think Beane knew what he was doing and what the reaction would be.  I'm not convinced anymore that he just flew off the handle willy nilly.

Great watch, but I wonder how heavily cut up this film is. All the “we gotta get him” and “idk how long can we wait” makes me wonder if they’re ever talking about a different player or scenario and it’s cut out to be made as if everything fell exactly as they wanted or hoped for. Every time one of these comes out it’s “I can’t believe this guy was this there, perfect fit, great dude, etc) 

 

Just once it’s be nice to know itw real and hear “ah shucks really wanted X here but I guess we’re good with Y or Z as next best”

Love these insight videos!

 

Excited about these guys. Hairston and Landon Jackson are my favorite picks. Expect both of them to contribute this year.  

 

Gotta say, the opening?? Beane, drop it already.  Didn’t realize he was that thin skinned. WGR guys have opinions and I happen to agree with them, WR is important.

This was one of my favorite parts in the whole thing.

 

Dude was really like "c'monnnnn it's just a little ole' 7th" 😄
