Cook won’t start, Devin will. But Cook will play a lot and is going to make a big impact this season as a receiving weapon out of the backfield. Him and Devin already work out together in the off-season and are going to be a great 1-2 punch for us. IMHO it’s gonna look a bit like Ingram and Kamara did for the Saints

Yeah not sure he specified a number, just was definitely lower than where we picked is all I was getting at

I don’t remember if he said specifically how many first round grades he had, but I read or listened to something where he said or implied he didn’t have 25 first round grades. So it was less than 25

He said it leading up to the draft as well

Kiper is wrong a lot more than he is right. His fellow mock draft “expert” Mayock just might be the worst GM of the last 20 years too. Who cares what Kiper thinks

Geezus you people over react and and force too much conspiracy theory stuff into everything. All evidence shows he’s excited to be here. Stop pushing this false narrative

Seriously have you even not complained about a Bills move ever?

Love this pick!

Don’t forget Davis, Dawkins, Levi, Taron, Dane, and Milano. McBeane has been better than most at the very least of not the best.

Stop using all this logic and facts. It interferes with the base less, fact less, and pointless whining for the sake of whining around here.

So why don’t the fans trust the front office knowing more than them that just turned a 2 decade losing franchise into a perennial playoff team and SB contender with probably the best roster in the NFL? Had they listened to the fans, Josh Rosen would have been our QB and we wouldn’t have Diggs or Tre White. And let’s be real, not only is this the best shot at a SB for the Bills in nearly 30 years, it might be the best shot in franchise history. Those SB teams played in a weak AFC where the truly elite teams were in the NFC. Now, AFC is the powerhouse side and we are arguably the best team In the AFC with no team in the NFC really being that scary to meet in the SB. So people should realize by now, our FO knows what they are doing.

I think Stevenson is penciled in at this point, but not in pen obviously. His ability to return kicks isn't really something someone else is threatening to take away from him as we sit today, although lot of drafting still to come that could bring in competition for that. I don't think they plan to use McKenzie as a returner this year, although I thought he did a pretty good job last year at it.

Want to know what the dumbest thing anyone can say about any draft pick? We only got the "X" best player at "X" position. That is such a ridiculous statement to make on draft night. Take WR for example, 7 of the top 10 WR's were NOT taken in the first round, were NOT close to being the first couple WRs taken in their respective drafts. This includes our own Diggs, Adams, Kupp, Hill, etc. Prospects are graded, and what can separate a guy from going first round and third round can be splitting hairs in some cases, teams passing over other needs or players at other positions sliding, etc etc.. There are a certain amount of players coming out every year at each position, and people have to arbitrarily rank them, and EVERYONE ranks them DIFFERENT, and mocks drafts are pre draft rankings are never remotely accurate...literally never. For any poster to sit here and complain well now we have to settle for the "Xth best WR" (or whatever position) on the board is being foolish. You have no idea how good or not that player will be at the next level. Nobody knows how these guys will pan out, and every team looks at them differently for their own systems, fit, and style of play...not to mention people range in grading skills across the NFL too. The draft is entirely about finding value, and truly successful NFL teams are ones who build their teams in the middle rounds, thats what separates teams who win consistently or not. And the best part...our FO took a perennial losing franchise for almost 2 decades and got them immediately in the playoffs and are now not just a playoff team, but probably the best roster in the NFL and a major SB favorite with a perennial MVP candidate on the roster.

People need to move on man. Seriously, all this whining over a 4th round pick used to get the best player on Beanes board is approaching "Wrong Josh" levels...or "We way overpaid for Diggs" levels. I mean seriously, all this same nonsense happened when we traded for Diggs and people lost their minds over that extra 4th that was included. Then Diggs shut you all up. Just like Josh Allen shut you all up. Just like Tre White shut you all up when you freaked out we traded down and took him. You would think people would learn after being wrong so many times about these freak outs to trust the fact they don't know a fraction of what our Front Office does and that pissing and moaning to know end after a pick or trade is unbelievably premature and pretty pointless. Bottom line, he was the only player on Beanes board worthy of a first round selection, so he went and got him. Everything about this kid is exciting from his speed, size, skills, and most importantly his apparent work ethic and commitment to being the best he can be from all we have seen and heard from him so far. So make it stop already...move on, who cares about this stupid 4th round pick if Elam becomes a high end corner opposite Tre for years to come. And don't think I didn't notice many of the people freaking out in the Elam thread are literally some of the same people who ironically spent the past 3 years complaining about Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson and how we needed a better corner too.

Good post, nice to see people come back and look at it rationally even if they initially were not on board. Also keep in mind, the trade up wasn’t just to get ahead of Dallas (although both Balt and Dal were capable of taking a corner there), but the first round had trades firing left and right. And everyone and their mom knew Buffalo really needed a corner. So if anyone wanted a corner, they would need to trade ahead of us to get one. Our trade up was about making sure someone didn’t move ahead of us to take him. You know how I feel, I love the pick. I personally thought it would be Booth as I thought he seemed more like a McD style fit, but I also loved Elam. We got size and speed with him, and the 2020 version of him would have made him probably the a top 15 pick. But 2021 they struggled as a team overall and he battled through a knee injury so he had a slightly lesser year as a result (although still very good). This kid seems dedicated to being great too from what I have read about him so far too. He seems like the kind of player we will help develop to his full potential, and having him and Tre on opposite sides for the next several years might become the best tandem in the league if he does.

Have fun wining 5 games at his year and battling NE for last place

Im all for getting Allen more help too, just saying this notion that the defenses can’t stop elite QBs and offenses no matter what is just not accurate at all.

How can you not be excited about this kid?

You sure think a lot of things you literally just made up in your head

Ok you deserve kudos, this got me laughing hahaha

I love it and hilarious to see pats fan melting down and McVay laughing at them. But…if I’m BB I am tweeting a pic of the SB ring I got holding McVays offense to 3 points in the SB.

What team do you scout for? Cuz you seem to know where Elam was graded, so let me know who you scout grades for. Thanks I’ll wait.

This is ridiculous and fact less. Ask KC about that. Bucs D crushed them in the SB. Bengals D bounced them a week after they dropped 42 on us this year. Ask the high scoring Cowboys and MVP led Packers about getting bounced by Niners Defense this year. Ask the vaunted Rams offense that scored 3 points in the SB. Ask Denver, the highest scoring offense in NFL history about getting smashed by Seattles D in the SB 43-8 Ask the Patriots former highest scoring offense in the NFL about losing to the Giants D while only scoring 19 points. I mean I can keep going about this, and I’ve told you this before, but you keep saying this same fact less and baseless claim over and over again. Wasn’t true then, still not true now.
