Roster Support over the past three years (Beane)

[Rousseauisnoschmo]

Thanks for the work OP. Pretty much nailed why we can't make that next step. Look at the firepower KC has replenished itself with. Then theres NE and Indy. Meanwhile were just gonna keep spinning our tires when eight years has been plenty of time to break through for this regime. Do I trust Terry to get it right as someone else suggested. Nope. What were doing however isnt cutting it so you have nothing to lose by cutting McBeane loose. This is Dan Reeves the sequel. Question is whose our Mike Shanahan.

[Pete]

I’m anti Beane until he gets Josh a quality WR.  

[Rigotz]

It's amazing how quickly this fan base turned from "Beane is a wizard" to "Beane needs to be fired."

 

I'm seemingly one of the few people in the middle. The overreaction isn't necessary.

 

Beane has had some good years when we were all singing his praise.

 

Lately, he has been very cold in the draft and gave out some bad contracts. It happens.

 

You don't need to burn the whole village down just yet .... lets revisit this thread in a few weeks.

They've been very trait focused in the draft at times,  and other times they seem to almost completely ignore traits because they like the film.  I get the idea behind it because you're looking for potential growth in a faster/stronger player, but sometimes the player just isn't up to the task.  

 

I also think people are quick to judge a player both positively and negatively week-to-week.  Players have bad games, it happens to all of them, even HOFers.  I'm not going to come out and say Coleman sucks when the plan after palmer gets injured is to just line him up outside 1x1 with AJ Terrell in a game where the Falcons were getting most of the calls.  If he's struggled all game in press man, you need to find ways to get a player involved differently just to get the juice flowing again.  A successful play can often lead to additional positive plays.  

 

Somehow the team lost their way in the Falcons game and there's a number of factors - the falcons defense being better than people expect is a big one, but the failures were about on the game and not all of them can be traced back to the teams inability to shed man coverage.

I compared the last three drafts (not the current season, too soon) of Buffalo compared to a few other teams who have been in  similar situations as the Bills (Division winners since 2020, high end QB).  That pretty much leaves Baltimore and Kansas City.  And with that, Baltimore had a few down years (21-22 and 22-23).

 

Bills:

Draft Picks:

2024: 

Coleman - Meh so far

Bishop - Meh so far

Carter - Bust

Davis - Meh

Van-Prager - Bust

Ulofisho - Bust

Solomon - Bust

Grable - Unknown (they like him a lot)

Hardy - Bust

Clayton - Bust

No standout talent

 

Ravens:

2024:

Wiggins - Good

Rosengarten - Meh

Isaac - Bust

Walker - Bust

Tampa - Meh (bad year so far)

Ali - Bust

Leary - Bust

Samac - Bust

Kane - Bust

 

KC:

2024:

Worthy - Meh/Good (He has had big games, but his career stats are almost EXACTLY like Colemans')

Kingsley - Meh

Wiley - Bust

Hicks - Meh

Nourzad - Meh

Hadden - Bust

Hanson - Bust

 

2024 Summary:

None of the teams hit on a stud in this draft.  Worthy has shown a flash or two, but the production doesnt match the way some speak of him here.  Wiggins is probably the best player of the group to date.  No superstars or even stars out of the group yet (maybe Wiggins, but I'd say that's a stretch)

 

2023:

Bills:

Kincaid - Meh/Good (Trending well but injured frequently)

Torrence - Good (Maybe really good)

Williams - Meh

Shorter - Bust

Broeker - Bust

Austin - Bust for the Bills, Meh pick overall

 

Ravens:

Flowers - Good

Simpson - Good

Robinson - Meh

Kelly - Bust

Laulu - Bust

Vorehees - meh

 

KC:

Uzomah - Bust

Rice - Good 

Morris - Bust

Conners - Meh (decent player though)

Thompson - Bust

Coburn - Bust

Jones - Bust

 

2023 Summary: Again, all similar results to date.  Baltimore with probably the best results, but you could argue the Bills have had two legit impact players on their offense in Kincaid and Torrence.  KC with the worst draft of the group, Uzomah was a massive bust

 

2022 Draft:

Bills:

Elam: Bust

Cook - Great

Bernard - Good

Shakir - Good

Araiza - Good (Bust for Bills)

Benford - Good

Tenuta - Bust

Spector - Bust

 

Ravens:

Hamilton - Great

Linderbaum - Good

Ojabo - Bust

Jones - Good

Faalele - Meh

Armour-Davis - Bust

Kolar - Bust

Stout - Good

Likely - Good

Williams - Bust

Badie - Bust

 

KC:

McDuffie - Great

Karlaftis - Good

Moore - Bust

Cook - Good

Chenal - Good

Williams - Good

Kinnard - Bust

Watson - Meh

Pacheco - Meh

Johnson - Bust

 

Summary: Really strong draft year.  Baltimore really lucked into Hamilton this season, the fact that he fell is crazy.  Elam bust stick out, but the Bills had a really strong rest of the draft.  Overall, I'd say all three teams had a great draft - hard to differentiate impact.

 

Overall summary - None of the teams have been head or shoulders above the others over the past three drafts (22-24).  Each team have had their share of hits (McDuffie, Hamilton, Cook), and their share of busts (Uzomah, Elam).  If you try to compare the Bills draft to any other teams, they tend to have picked much earlier than them from 2020-2025, which drastically impacts the results.  At the end of the day, if you are upset with the Bills draft results from the past few years, you could be a fan of KC or Baltimore and saying the exact same thing.

 

I'll need to cover FA in another post

I know it won't be (to be fair, the board may not have the capability) BUT THIS SHOULD BE PINNED AS THE 2ND COMMENT IN THE POST.

 

I know several posters would just pick the narrative that fits their narrative and crusade with it... but this is a well done post that brings a lot of context!  The only fair way to look at this, is to look at both of these posts.  I was furious until I got to this one, and Im certain there are improvements to make from all 3 of these teams.

 

I'd be really interested in seeing the FA Side of this post, which is likely the more damning comparison.  I'm not assigning work to anyone, just adding a thought. I think a great way to add additional context would be to chart out the teams who picked in top 3 of each round too, and then ONLY EXAMINE the picks made a round down, so how the bad teams picked BEHIND US.  i.e END OF 1ST RD -> TOP OF 2ND // BOTTOM 2ND -> TOP OF 3RD ETC ETC

that 24 draft is so f ing brutal🤣🤣

In total fairness.  There are ZERO Pro Bowlers drafted after #23 overall in the entire draft!  Thats kinda mind blowing, even if it was only 1year ago.  A quick glance as I dont have time to dig in, is that 2024 was a pretty weak Draft overall.  That doesnt fully let Beane off the hook; but Baltimore & KC having similar results as us makes it much less egregious.

We say Coleman sucks by his body of work in the NFL and College.  I told you Coleman sucked when he was at college.  He was slow then too.

Beane prefers all the many every body eats pieces.  We don’t need a Chase that completely takes over game. We would rather spend $20m+ on Moore, Samuel, Knox, etc. 

People looking at this emotionally is going to happen.... but it completely kills any/all attempts to look at this objectively.  I'm screaming WR, as much/more than 99% of the board but.....  where was the chance to get a Chase?  There wasn't.  Theres a good post showing/comparing KC & Baltimores draft to ours, since all 3 were picking in very similar range.... and they all 3 are almost identical.

 

Yes, I f'n hate the Samuel/Knox money too... Samuel was pretty universally looked at as a HR signing here.  Knox was much more split, but leaned towards approved.

 

Im furious we are where we are too. DK should certainly be a Bill right now. I'm not here to defend Beane, depending on how this season turns out I could be swayed towards firing him.  At the same time, people posting emotionally when their is a solid chunk of really good context, soooooo close to OP's.  It's intentionally/unintentionally ignorant, hitting send on posts like that ^^^

Clearly Chase was not available. But the point is Beane is not even looking for a poor man's version of Chase. He has chosen to go the route of gadget pieces, thinking you can combine 4 guys abilities into one dominant WR profile. I think this approach is wrong. I would have preferred to go for guys like Pickens, D Adams, DK Metcalf, etc. that have shown they can be #1's. Heck there are a handful of guys in the top 20 rec yards that were all available - Pickens, Adams, Allen, Diggs. Beane chose Palmer and Moore. He had a similar mindset in the most obvious WR drafter, instead of moving up for a clear #1 in Thomas, he moved back for Coleman. It has been just a very risk averse approach to the position yet all the small bets have added up in resources used.

Virgil, you're usually a really strong poster, but this post is just awful.

 

Just addressing these first few line I found several misguided

 

We have four starters, not three from the last three drafts. Coleman, Bishop, Kincaid and Torrence. Hell, Hawes has started two of the last three games. And expecting starters from the first year particularly on a loaded roster this early in the season goes against history, especially with McDermott at coach. Would Hairston have started sometime this year, without the injury? Very very likely, and still possible.

 

Plus you've got several guys contributing a lot of snaps already, as platoon players or in sub-packages.

Levy had the same philosophy. It's hard to start early on a good roster.

 

You claim to have bolded the guys who've contributed in a meaningful way. Seriously? You didn't bold Coleman, Hawes, Bishop, Ray Davies or Dorian Williams, who's started five games and played 64% of snaps. You didn't bold Taron Johnson. I mean ...

 

 

 

 

Or maybe that they could have found ways to handle that situation by the time Cook was gone in 2026.

 

Or maybe they thought that - and I grant this thought is way way out there - Cook might end up signing a deal that was closer to what the Bills thought was reasonable than the $15M per year Cook had publicly asked for.

Trusting you on this .... No trading partner came through. Hmmm. Wonder why that was. 

 

Couldn't have been that maybe nobody else wanted to give him $15M/year either, could it?

 

He may turn out to be worth $15M/year. But he hadn't proven it at the time. He had legitimate blocking issues and he hadn't put up a lot of snaps. Could he now put up a ton of snaps and prove that he could have been doing it from day one? That's one possibility. Or he could wear down if they use him that much, that's another. And there are many more.

 

One reason that GMs give players permission to seek out a trade is that they think this will give the player a realistic look at what his market is. And Cook didn't just play out his contract, he signed a deal with the Bills. Again, hmmmm.

 

There's more than one way to look at that.

 

 

 

I dont have much to add here, but just wanted to say Great posts, and show the other side of the coin, that not many will bring up or acknowledge here (at least, understandably so, right now they won't).

 

Personally, I have been in support of Beane, while admitting plenty of disappointment over, moves or lack thereof, over the last 2 years.  When I first opened this thread, I was 100% ready to move on from Beane.  @Virgil Im a "fan" of yours, not only for hard work/thoughtful quality threads and responses you put out at the board.... and in no way did I think OP was intended to be misleading or crusading or anything like that.  But I'd imagine you feel at least a biiiiiit different after having seen some context in the responses.  I literally, just wanted to point out how things are not black/white, even when they may seem that way.

 

Between the response showing Chiefs/Ravens by comparison, I know I feel quite differently than I did at first.  Going in and looking at the '24 Draft as a whole, it's been a very unimpressive draft as a whole.  We can all agree the ProBowl isnt some elite or impossible feat.  2024 draft had 0 ProBowler's past the 23rd overall pick.  While there are certainly some good players in there, even a quick glance at that class will leave most realizing it was slim pickings.

 

Again coming back to this thought "point out how things are not black/white, even when they may seem that way".... another one of my fav posters (username escapes me, I recognize pictures best here) is the one about 'we gave permission to Cook to seek a trade'... I was fired up, trying to imagine our current situation minus Cook now.

 

But the two posts quoted above, bring some very good context. And again, certainly would not state he was trying to mislead, as hes likely the most 'connected' poster here.  But just a great reminder that the things we're PO'd about, can be looked at it a completely different light and make a ton of sense.  Maybe Beane was trying to show Cook his real value, as a courtesy like 'hey, if that was going right, we'd be the first one to give that to you... but thats not your market'.

 

Id imagine even Cook went through same emotions "trade me?!? $15M, I'll show you".... how would a player know the actual market.  Kind of a genius move to let Cook go do that if you're confident in your position.... not only is that great leverage to get a deal done, but its a helluva de-escalation tactic with a guy you want to keep, and make sure that he isn't disgruntled. 

 

A different GM and in the same scenario (wanting to retain their guy) could've landed on a 1 year deal at the same dollar amount.... but now they have a disgruntled player who believes he IS being ripped off for the entire year.  If Beane IS wrong, he gets additional info to make his decision... hell, maybe somebody wants to pay him $20M and send us a boatload of picks (unlikely, but not the point).

 

Beane still has a ton to prove, and Im firmly on the hot seat with him, pending how this season finishes out.  Just wanted to share what I noticed that even in my head I flip-flopped, and realized most likely, neither position was correct about the drafts or Cook or FA, but likely somewhere in the middle. Ohhh, And don't let the folks posting in here who scrolled to the bottom of page 1, clicked post, and then went to the next thread sway your opinion either LOL cause they're in here!

Beane has had some good years when we were all singing his praise.

 

Lately, he has been very cold in the draft and gave out some bad contracts. It happens.

 

You don't need to burn the whole village down just yet .... lets revisit this thread in a few weeks.

 

Sometimes it takes time to properly judge a General Manager.  

The early returns were very good, and it was easy to ignore poor roster management when the team is winning.  But as the sample size has gotten bigger, the worse Brandon Beane's decisions are turning out.

 

As everyone probably recalls, the timing on Beane's hiring was very abnormal.  He wasn't brought into the General Manager position until after the 2017 free agency and the draft.  And for some strange reason, our previous GM (Doug Whaley) waited until his closing months to hit an absolutely homerun in player additions.  The Bills literally added Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Tre White, Dion Dawkins and Matt Milano just before Beane was hired.  So five of the main cornerstone pieces that we've had over the years were NOT added by Beane, although he basically got credit for their performance.

 

Of course, Beane's first real moves were trading away several of our top players (Sammy Watkins, Ronald Darby, Marcel Dareus, Cordy Glenn) for draft ammo... and then nailing his first pick with Josh Allen.  I like to point out that Allen was the third QB drafted.  If we knew he was going to be the guy we have now, we sell the farm to move up and take him.  So while Beane does get ultimate credit for getting it right, there is an element of luck here.

 

Beane's next most impactful move was trading a 1st Round Pick for Stefon Diggs.  It's hard to argue anytime you add a player with the production he gave us for 4 years.  But it's also hard not to consider that Minnesota used the same pick on Justin Jefferson (a far superior player), and that Diggs baggage ended up killing us in the end.  

 

When you step back and look at our drafting from 2018-now, the results have been really ugly.  So many wasted early picks.  So many positions he can't get right.  The NFL draft is a team's lifeblood.  Our original cornerstones are aging out, regressing or leaving for other reasons... and we have nobody there to step into the void.  Cornerback is a mess.  Safety is a mess.  Wide Receiver is a mess.  Linebacker is an underrated need.  We still haven't been able to add a young and high-impact pass rusher.  

 

Everyone (including myself) vastly overrated Beane and the 2025 Buffalo Bills from the start.  Only about half the fanbase realizes it right now.  The rest are holding out hope that we turn this around, and will soon be coming to the same conclusion.  Truthfully, the failings on this roster SHOULD have been expected, considering how poorly the last several drafts and free agent classes have gone.  You can't just lose good NFL players and replace them with significant downgrades, and then expect to keep playing at the same level.

• Hyde and Poyer were not properly replaced.  Taylor Rapp needs to be benched, and Cole Bishop has been a below-average starter so far.
• Christian Benford is not prime White.  And our current version of White is not an adequate starter.
• Milano will never be able to stay healthy.  Terrell Bernard was a one-year wonder and is still too small to play MLB.
• Keon Coleman is a decent replacement for Gabe Davis.  They have never replaced Diggs.

Thanks for the callout, I meant to do an FA review but it's incredibly time consuming.

 

I'll address it in a shorter form.  If I look at the last three offseasons, here are the key acquisitions made by the Chiefs/Ravens/Bills by year

 

2023:

Bills:

Damian Harris - Bust

Connor McGovern - Great pickup

Latavius Murray - Meh

Poona Ford - Bust

Taylor Rapp - Meh

Trent Sherfield - Bust

David Edwards - Good

Deonte Hardy - Bust

 

Overall - Meh.  The team had Diggs/Davis at this time, and wanted to protect Allen.  They did secure 40% of their O-line for the next 3 seasons with this class, but not much else.  3 guys still on roster

 

Ravens:

Beckham - Meh

Nelson Agholor - Bust

Geno Stone - Good

Clowney - Good

Van Noy - GREAT

Darby - Bust

Rock Ya Sin - Bust

Laquan Treadwell - Bust

 

Overall - Van Noy was a huge find, Geno Stone was a one year wonder, and Clowney was as well.  One guy still on the roster in Van Noy

 

Chiefs:

Drue Tranquill - Good

Bryan Cowert - Bust

Mike Edwards - Meh

Jawaan Taylor - Meh

Charles Omenihu - Good

 

Overall - Decent.  Tranquill was a good find, Taylor has been their RT for a while, Omenihu is decent.  3 players still with team

 

2023 OVERALL: No one really sticks out.  The Bills did a nice job bringing in O-line starters, who ran a top 5 group last year.  Nothing else really stands out

 

2024:

Bills:

Samuel - Bust

Ty Johnson - good (was a midseason pickup in 2023 but counting here)

Mack Hollins - Meh

Morrow - Bust

Will Clapp - Bust

Casey Toohill - Bust

 

Overall - bad class.  A lot of nothing, but this was considered the transition year eating Digg's contract

 

Ravens:

Henry - GREAT

Josh Jones - Bust

Chris Board - Bust

 

Overall - Henry was a major get.  Helped the offense a TON.  Otherwise, nothing

 

Chiefs:

Marquise Brown - Meh

Irv Smith - Bust

Juju - Meh

 

Overall - Brown and Juju are fine, but replacement level players for KC

 

2024 OVERALL: Ravens win with Henry, but again, not a ton here.  Some depth guys.  Brown has been ok for KC, Samuel as bust for the Bills

 

I wont go into 2025 yet, too early in the year.  Again, the theme here is these top teams focus most of their assets in drafted, developing, and retaining talent.  In FA, each team has obtained 3-4 starters out of the 22 possible players on the field, but other than Henry, no one that's really top top end.  Van Noy/Tranquill/McGovern/Edwards have been good finds that have helped their teams, but other than that, it's a lot of bleh or straight up crappy.

Looking back at all the offseason moves to support this team the past three years is a lot more eye opening than I expected.  I went and bolded all the players who are contributing this season in a meaningful way, it's a scary sight.  On draft classes alone, you could argue Beane should be fired.  3 total starters from the last three drafts.  That's horrific.  Add to that the new contact extensions that we can't get out of, and it looks to be time....

Re-signed OL Ike Boetger: 

The 2024 draft looks poor.   Coleman and Bishop need to step up.  Neither are solid starters.  

 

The 2025 might be a good one if Hairston becomes a real CB#1.    Walker, Hancock and Hawes have flashed potential as well. 

 

The rest of it driven by cap management decisions.  Since 2023 Beane has improved the OL but has not found enough help at WR.  His inability to find impact players on defense is his biggest problem.  

 

Is this fireable?  Not to me.   

 

Most of you guys do not follow the Sabres.   Give Pegula a chance to change GMs and I fully expect he will blow it in a big way.  

[LABILLBACKER]

All I know is BB has failed miserably over these last 2 drafts. Only 1 quality player (Walker) out of 16 players.  Putting aside the egregious inability to draft a WR1,  Beane's hot seat should be scalding if for no other reason than these last 2 drafts. And whatever input McD has had on some of these picks, sheds a very poor light on him too.
