RB Christian Wade had to wait for his blockers to be BEHIND him.
I don't see that as a problem for a OG/OT. Perhaps we can give this guy a chance before dismissing him.
Not dismissing him. Anything can happen. But even late picks that have played the sport their whole life, trained and have experience for 15 years have difficulty making a career for themselves. Doing it while trying to learn and train your body at the highest level of the sport adds many new layers of difficulty and unlikeliness. Anything can happen for sure. The road just is a bit tougher.

Like Jordan Mailata??
Cool. Now lost off every International Pathway player and judge the success rate on the whole. Or do you also profess that pick 199 is the best pick of any draft because of Tom Brady?
-
Not for nothing, but I feel like the majority of picks spent on the International Pathways players are just wasted picks.

Just for the heck of it...I want the Bills to take Cole Burgess WR from SUNY Cortland.
LMAO!!! They just did him on Stump the Truck. And they had video on him😂😂😂

This is the guy we pick late that ends up scooped up after final cuts and we can't get back on the PS. Calling it now.

Is Beane for some reason intentionally not drafting WR's that are there?
Yes. It's intentional. He drafts by his board. This is what he's always done.
At this point an UDFA WR is just as likely to make an impact as a guy taken anyway IMO.

Boyd's gone. Kinda bummed about that, as we seemed to have interest.
This has been a draft that has strayed from how Beane normally conducts things. In the past if we saw multiple visits, top 30 ect they were a good bet.
This year all of the guys that they showed the most interest in...they passed over multiple times.

Is there a chance that the Bills didn’t draft a single day 1 starter for 24-25?
Well, I think Bishop will have his chance. If not start I think he'll see some significant snaps. The Center from Georgia supposed is good enough to complete. And while most don't want to think about it right now...Keon Coleman starts day 1. Beane pretty much laid that out last night IMO.

Gabe Hall still available. That's a surprise to me. Would be a good grab at this point. As is Brendan Rice.
At this point, we're just getting a jump on UDFA's.
Our late picks are important for that reason. With a team without as many projected open roster spots it makes it harder for an UDFA to make teams like Buffalo, KC, SF. So if there's someone there they want better draft em.

Did I see that right? 16 sacks last year? Man, dude can close it down.
Add into that the ONE thing that we can still count on with Von Miller is his teaching camp being pretty good...this guy has potential to learn from someone with a ton of knowledge. This could be a steal. Or he could flame out of the league. What the hell do I know😂

Here’s a hint: because no one’s ever heard of him. The Bills brass found him on a corner in Somalia I think
When he meets Matt Milano in TC:

Then why in the world didn’t Beane trade all of this 5th round picks to move up? I guess I don’t understand your position. Do you really think there are no players left who will make NFL rosters or have solid careers?
As for your first question, he said yesterday he wasn't planning on moving up round 4. This shouldn't be a shock. There was still value on the board when they picked as per his draft board. And he has already turned one of those 5ths into a 4th next year. Pretty nice day at the office.
As per your second question, of course there will be guys drafted that make rosters drafted late. Practice squads as well. It's about finding value meeting need meeting fit this late.

Woo!! I can replate my Edwards jersey...
I get that. After the way Bass finished the year last year I'm considering moving my #2 jersey back to a Peterman jersey.

Brugler is one of the most respected draft analysts in the business. If you don’t have his top overall Safety as a draftable player then you’re doing something wrong. Brenden Rice is still on the board, and that’s his 103rd overall player. Gabriel Murphy is his 127th overall, and he’s still available.
Super.
Again, what do their medicals (which he does not have access to) look like? What about their interviews with teams? How deep does he dip into each players background and interview past teammates?
A draft analyst looks at film and gives his perspective based off that (which is subjective).
We are in the 150s. If his opinion was shared by the teams those players wouldn't have gotten passed over. Obviously, for whatever reason 32 NFL GMs disagree.

I think he wore it in college at some point though so at least it makes some sense i suppose. He’s not getting 4 from Cook that’s for sure.
Also, I thought 24 was Elam’s number but maybe he changed it this offseason and I forgot. Would have loved him to wear 8 personally.
Elam switched to 5

Jaden Hicks was Brugler’s #1 Safety, 39th best player overall, and he went 133rd. There’s plenty of draftable players still out there.
Cool. What team is Brugler working for?
As we all should know by now media and "experts" draft boards are very different than actual teams draft boards. Bet Brugler had T'Vondre Sweat and AD Mitchell taking up spots on his board as well. I can say with confidence that they (along with many other players) were off of some team boards like players are every year. When experts say they have "150" draftable grades, it's not taking into account medicals, behavioral issues, scheme specific gradings. Many teams boards are much smaller

I really like that trade. Honestly a no brainer. Next year we will likely have three 4ths because of Gabe Davis' comp pick.
So far those 3 4th with the 2 2nds. Beans has a chance to be really active at the trade deadline this year and not cost us any net loss.

Did we just trade a 5th this year for a 4th next year?

Sirius xm NFL loves it. Just said he's gonna end up starting this year. 44 starts, big games.
Said that he switched two very different QBs and styles play that it was impressive that he could communicate, lead, and call plays with both is admirable.
This is why I like this idea. If he needs a year to get up to speed and learn we have the spot covered. McGovern can hold it down for a bit. If he ends up starting now, McGovern can slide back to LG and it improves both positions.

Love this pick. Physical player. Starting to notice a trend these last 2 drafts yet? If he eventually starts...him next to Torrence will blow open some holes in the run game.
With the DT position being so deep with impact players these days this is exactly the type of OL that needs to be built. No more finesse. Strength up the middle bof the OL.

I'm fully expecting to see Buffalo snag MJ Devonshire this round.

As I said in the discussion thread Ray Davis was my favorite RB in this draft. He is a complete 3 down back who can block in pass pro and has great hands out of the backfield with a strong compact body to run between the tackles. Yes he's older but that doesn't matter with RB's as most of them only get 1 contract anyways.
I think too with NIL in place we're going to see guys that are 23-24 coming out of the draft more often. We're seeing it a bit at an extreme right now as many of these kids come from the extra COVID eligibility as well.

We have ty Johnson
Why do we need another of him
Ah yes. Ty Johnson. 30 carries for 132 years last year. He's a fun guy to watch, but he's a RB3/KR at BEST. He's not a "1 play away from a starting role" player. Needed a younger upgrade there

I really thought that said we signed @GunnerBillfor a second. May need to find my reading glasses.
