Agree with Wawrow 100%. This is by far the best I’ve felt about any Bills regime since Polian. I actually have faith in our front office and coaching staff, and it feels great! I mean..... Just listen to their press conference. how could you Not love these guys?

i love these 2!

Can’t say I know much about him. From what they said on ESPN it sounds like he needs a lot of development? But has a high ceiling? Seems like Beane likes those high ceiling picks and trusts his coaching staff to develop guys.

thought this was interesting (not that it really means anything). Raiders stick out.

https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp seems fair based on the draft pick value chart. #112 (70pts) + #131 (41pts) for #96 (116pt)

Must be after someone left that’s stickong out on their board. Anxious to see who it is!

Really like this pick. Exciting player. He is so fun to watch! Bills fans ar going to love watching this kid run. He’s a touchdown and highlight reel machine. I was hoping the Bills would draft a good young RB. We needed one, and you may as well take advantage of having 2 future hall of fame RBs to learn from while we still have them (assuming both stay). I love that the Bills are focused on building an offensive line and run game for Allen. He still has a ways to go as a passer. Building a good o line and run game will help his development (IMO).

What good are wide receivers if your QB doesn’t have time to throw the ball? I love that they are building from the lines out. Plus, there was a run on offensive linemen. Bills traded up just in time. Their guy was likely gone with the next pick. There are still a bunch of WR’s on the board.

Exactly. Strength is a pretty easy fix, relatively speaking.

he definitely looks like a kid.

Welcome! You sure you really want to be a buffalo fan? Do you know what type of heartbreak and misery your signing up for? lol (j/k). Can’t be worse than losing your team though, I’ll say that. Seriously though, Glad to have you! Welcome aboard. Most of us a very hopeful that we have some good days ahead. Thanks! Seems like that’s not the best reason to pass on the better player, especially when we are talking about a top 5 pick. Rookie contracts are basically set. You get a 5th year option and then the franchise tag for 2 seasons. So you’re talking about having a player for 7 years even if you can’t work out a 2nd contract. A LOT can happen in 7 years.... But hey, I’m glad they went off board!

Just curious, does anyone know what he means by “it took an unreasonable agent”? What players agent? And what happened?

I am honestly not sure. Has to be a broadcast delay thing, I’d think.

Wow that is quite some outfit Devin! Wtf is that thing strapped around his chest?

Following this NFL draft diamonds twitter account is cool, getting to see all the picks early. But it also kind of spoils the suspense and surprise waiting to hear the pick announced.

Oliver! Sweet!

Could we trade down here?
