Ok. Name the impact players Brandon Beane has selected in the first two rounds over the past six seasons. 

Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, James Cook, and O'Cyrus Torrence.   Funny you set the limit at 6 years, because of course it helps your narrative a great deal to completely ignore he drafted the reigning NFL MVP in his first year as GM.   Also very telling you set the limit at 2 rounds, when he has drafted guys like Chrisitan Benford, Spencer Brown, Khalil Shakir, Dawson Knox, and Terrel Bernard in rounds 3-6 in those same drafts.  He isnt bad at drafting.  Definitely not any worse than average.   Just complete non-sense.

James Cook?!

 

There’s one in six years. At the least impactful position on the field and the easiest one to find talent.

The real question is why is Ray Davis still playing. This game doesn’t matter so get him out of there if he’s part of the offense like you say he is.

Oh I can. Mike White is my least fav player in the nfl. How he’s in the league is incredible. And then of course he ends up on the team I love. That’s how it goes

 

He probably won't be on this roster much longer.

Enough with the Tre to safety crap. He’s not a safety. Just no

Not a great tackler, so no that is not a good move

[Maine-iac]

Beaner ............ love it.

Working on that defensive culture.

Those are not “impact” game-changing players. They are JAGs on legitimate teams. 

 

I chose six years specifically because that’s the time frame Beane has had to build around Josh Allen, so of course he’s not included. 

 

Those first two rounds are premium picks. You need to hit on those occasionally — George Karlaftis, Chris Jones, etc...

 

The late round guys you mentioned are nice players, but they are lottery tickets. GM’s make their money in the early rounds and Beane has whiffed just about every year.

He looks very slow and indecisive. Granted the line play has not been good but he does not look like the same back as last year so far.

 

Gore has looked better. And I'm no big fan of his given his athletic limitations but at least he finds the right hole and bounces off of guys.

[Nitro]

Bad throw or route run?  

[PromoTheRobot]

Does anyone look for a pass?

[TFBillsfan]

Mitch not looking much better than White!

[zow2]

Gosh Mitch was trying to hype you up a bit lol. just bad, no timing whatsoever.

[JP51]

Good lord put White back in... or just punt on 1st down

Hoecht had a sack on 4th down that led to a missed Bills FG.

 

In other news: Bills HAVE GOT to find a competent backup QB. I’d take a Gardner Minshew/Tyler Bagent/Jameis Winston type. Done with White and Trubisky, they both suck.
