    Healthy Skepticism for This Year's Draft Class...

    It's obvious what OBD is drafting for with their picks. 

     

    Buffalo has a culture and a style now that they have a competent front office. 

     

    In their 3rd draft, they are drafting for pieces to complement what they already have. 

     

    Think of New England for a moment.   They have always had a Welker type of player,  always had strong pass catching TEs, a versatile running back, etc. 

     

    They draft players to fit their scheme, and thats exactly what Buffalo is beginning to do. 

     

    Epenesa...power DE and INSIDE rusher...worst place a Qb can have pressure is up the middle.   Buffalo's identity is pressure up the middle, De's clean it up. 

     

    Moss...fills the role of Gore.   Its clear now more than ever Gore wasn't brought here so much for his veteran presence but because Buffalo has an identity and the wanted to fit it.   They want a power back and evasive back. 

     

    WR....They went out and brought in a number 1 who does everything well and demands attention.   Opposite of that a great route runner with tons of speed in Brown, and a slot reciever in Beasley who gains consistent seperation underneath and across the middle.   What were they missing?   A huge Wr who can stretch the field consistently and create mismatches on deep routes every time hes on the field.  He's their home run hitter. 

     

    Its clear to me going into year 4 what they are now doing with the draft.   They have their base roster in place and are now drafting for scheme and depth. 

     

    This is the most competent front office and coaching staff Buffalo has had in 20 years and the on field results verify that. 

     

    I was a skeptic the first two years, not anymore.   

     

    Is every pick going to pan out?   Hell no.   But as long as the majority of them do I'll keep the faith. 

     

    Trust the process.... 

    If there were a FO Pro Bowl ... Pegs, Beane and McD would be on it.  Beane would be the friggin QB. 

     

    I cant think of a better regime.  Not even RW/Polian/Levy.  We are on our way.

    Just watched the Holy Grail, during which god came from on high and shed his holy light on this troubling situation, conveying that anyone named baker is a sissy boy, and as such Joshua has the almighty’s blessings to put the opponent to the sword, it has been spoken, it shall be so, praise be to god... 

    I had to drink a shot every time “king of the Britons was said, Christ, I didn’t think I would last through the whole flick..,

     

    Go Bills!!!

    King of the who?

    Tom Cousineau was indeed the first overall pick in 1979 - and he never played for us - chose to play in Canada instead. While this was an incredibly bad pick in the short term (wasting the 1st overall pick - how is that even possible!). In the longer term - we maintained his NFL rights and when he wanted to leave Canada & finally play in the NFL - we then traded him to the Cleveland Browns for what was the 14th overall pick in the 1st round. That pick turned out to be Jim Kelly - so I guess in the big picture the pick was actually a good one.

    mind ... blown ?

      People overrate GMs and coaches.  There’s like 3 who are real difference makers.  It all starts with the qb and then building the team around him.  We build our teams around Trent and JP.  That was the problem.  They drafted HOFers.

     

    You realize the GMs and coaches are the ones drafting and building around QBs right?

     

    If the QBs consistently suck, there is only one place to look ... 

     

    So its the GMs and coaches after all.  And they have to both be good at the same time, and they have to share the same vision of the team.  We didn't have all three of those conditions present for two decades.  Now we do.
