This thread is becoming comedy gold lol. Can’t wIt to revisit it in a year or two

Agreed, people are sleeping on Crowder. I suggest people go look at what he has done the last few years while playing with weak QBs.

No GM is ever perfect, but Beane is up there probably leading the NFL in batting over the last 4 years on how many hits he has and home runs

Love this pick and draft!!!

Love this pick! He was a guy I thought we could target in rounds 3 or 4 heading into draft if we didn’t go WR early. Man, I can not wait to see this offense this year

Wow that’s early for a Punter

Exactly and quite honestly, outside of CB (which we drafted) and Punter (assume we draft one later) there are not any positions really where we are not locked in this year in terms of starters. Im actually not that familiar with Bernard like most, but I have really liked what I have read and seen so far. He really stands out as a Milano type player, and that excites me as Milano has flourished in our system. Which is probably why he has a higher grade on Beanes board as his tweener size isn’t a deterrent to them the way they have developed Milano.

Jordan Spout will be the pick IMHO in the 6th.

I love this kid already! Everything about him from his pre-draft visit, interviews, meeting Tre, wanting the playbook on the plane, etc just screams someone whose determined to be the best player he’s capable of at the next level. And this is exactly the kind of player that thrives with our coaches. I don’t know the future, but I feel like he’s going to be a great player for us and can’t wait to see him on the field.

Here is the thing. It’s not a reach. Anyone calling it reach is just making that up. Nobody here is qualified to grade these players. Mel Kiper isn’t either. So people are calling it a reach because everything people here know about him is what they read about from unqualified internet and media people giving him a guess of a grade. No teams draft board looks like the next teams either. Our front office placed a grade on him for how he fits in their plans and system. They do not know how the other teams graded him or where they might take him. So based on how we graded him we took him where they felt comfortable taking him based on how he graded against all the remaining players they had on the board. Just like people falsely claiming we reached for Elam. Which is non sense when Beane literally said he was the only guy on their board left with a first round grade. Which means had he taken any of the other players some people wanted him to take Beane would have actually been reaching because they were literally all graded lower than Elam by Beane and his staff as a second round player or less. And when you get down to the 3rd round and later, these grades vary even more wildly from team to team. And media grades and mocks literally have no value in how a team grades a player. FWIW: No one thought much of the Milano pick either at the time it was made and most didn’t even know who he was.

Ha I only saw the one. I don’t know what to say if someone didn’t enjoy that. I mean I feel like you almost have to hate fun to hate that.

Houston Texans are a team are a team who I really like what they have done so far in the draft. Means nothing until they hit the field, but on paper it’s been a strong draft IMHO.

I will say this…Jets had an excellent draft based on what we know today before anyone steps on the field. But…once they step on the field, they are still the Jets. How many times did Browns look like they had an excellent draft and then were still the browns. Also not first time Jets appeared to have a strong draft just to prove they still are the Jets.

I hope this is sarcasm because that was epic. And I’m 45 and been a die hard Bills fan (with never even going to Buffalo until 2021) 35 years.

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.
