I would love this pick. He’s a “sleep good at night” pick. I am not sure he will be there.

QB of the defense?? 👀

George Pickens

I’m traveling for work all day tomorrow which means something big will happen 😈

A thinly veiled Breece Hall thread. Nicely done. He’s in Zach Ertz territory with threads, true rare air. Another honorary Buffalo Bill regardless of what happens.

Stef still thinks he’s fat

Personally, I am worried about his reckless running style catching up to him. He gets hit a lot and sometimes I am surprised that he gets up. His stature makes him tough to bring down in the pocket but in the open field he’s fair game.

And Najee

Bills met with him 3x

I don’t know what the gap is in their scouting of the 2 but I do know there is no mention of them meeting with walker and sparty’s scheme was mostly gap, he also didn’t do much of anything in the passing game in college. Singletary didn’t either and they thought he could learn it, he didn’t thrive in key moments there

The biggest reason that guys like Joe B and Cover 1 are going extra on Hall seems to be that they think the Bills want Allen to not “need” to run as much. Because if his running style he’s taking a lot of hits and they are really playing with fire there. He said he’s working on sliding in the off-season but that’s a quarter of a billion dollar investment and one that 100% drives the success of the team - therefore Beane is going to keep trying to protect that asset. This would be one way that they haven’t yet been about to successfully do. Compare it to how Green Bay utilizes Aaron Jones. Rodgers is still throwing the ball for 4000 yards. It’s not about de-emphasizing the passing game. Does it have to be Hall specifically? No, but he’s coming from a similar blocking scheme to what Kromer runs. Allen runs the ball like cam Newton. Gotta evolve if he’s going to last.

They did pass on JK Dobbins for AJ Epenesa

We are assuming he will be there.

Beane has had 2 drafts where he had a 1st round pick and they were able to do visits. All 3 picks - Allen, Edmunds, Oliver - visited. You only get 30 and as the draft moves along a lot of guys who visited are going to come off the board, there are runs on positions, trades, etc and guys who visited are unavailable to be drafted, so it is truly only meaningful that they visited and had the team medical check (most important part of the visit) in the 1st round imo the interesting thing about Breece Hall’s visit is that he also visited the giants. There is almost no chance they take a RB in the 1st or early second. I think shoen is doing Beane a favor with his input.

McDermott would be making this call. Don’t forget he made a comment in his presser that he wished you could mash the corners together in terms of traits to make a perfect prospect. Basically they all have some flaw. If he picks him, he thinks he has traits he wants and areas he can develop. His mock says “I do my best to connect the dots off things I’ve been able to gather” and he says he finished top 15 in his mock last year. No one knows what will happen but I’m guessing he believes something for a reason.

Maybe they want a different type of DB to complement the others? Just a thought. all I know is, if they take him, McDermott has watched hundreds of hours of film on him and wants him on his defense, believing he is a significant upgrade to what he has behind Tre.

This guy says the Bills are secretly in love with Elam He tweeted this yesterday:

They met with Zach Moss via zoom as well and had a visit with vosean Joseph. Regardless, it’s most meaningful for 1st round because you don’t know who will even be available past that, to align with the small sample size of visits that you can actually draft. zoom meetings were not the same meaning or investment as visits where you can do individual workouts and team medical checks. Beane only had 3 1st round picks he could make so far where visits were allowed and they all visited - Allen, Edmunds, Oliver.

Why sign one now when there will be more vets likely available after the draft

Nah, this is from back in early January. Pretty clear that Saleh is the one wants him gone. GM probably wants to try to salvage his draft pick. https://sportsnaut.com/new-york-jets-mekhi-becton-future/amp/
