Although I agree in general and prefer other players to Hall, your argument is something that can be twisted in any direction. In 2016 the Bills waited until later to pick RB Jonathan Williams because they “needed” DE and took Shaq Lawson. Had they prioritized RB they could have taken Derrick Henry and “settled” for Yannick Ngakoue. We wouldn’t even have had to pass over the great Reggie Ragland.
The point is you can do this comparison for any two positions in either direction all day long. Five years from now fans of 31 teams will be complaining they passed 4 times on some guy drafted this Saturday in round 5. That guy might be a QB, RB, DE or maybe even one of each. It’s Beane’s job to discern which PLAYERS are more likely to help the Bills short and long term. Shirley this takes into account what position they play but cannot be reliant on only that.
With all that said I am also guilty of positional bias as I want the Bills to draft corner at all costs tonight, possibly even trading up. I make no claims about how the pick will work out beyond its impact on @Bill from NYC That alone makes it a steal.
