No_Matter_What

As for Torrence - I understand your concern, but there really should be one. If he is as good as borderline 1st round pick, we just have to find the way to use him. Period. Adjust scheme if need be. I for one LOVE that we tried to bolster Oline. I couldn't be happier with our first two picks. Williams - hate the approach. Did someone ask Beane if he was BPA? I am not able to evaluate player myself, but my approach is following - if he was BPA in their eyes, then fine, even if he won't replace Edmunds, or if we are not sure how to use him. But if he wasn't, and we reached for "need", and we are not even sure if he fits the need, then it is an awful way how to build the roster. And I don't care about Bernard. If we made mistake with Bernard, I am completely fine with them admiting so and drafting another guy. All I care is proper roster building strategy, and that does not include reaching for need.

I say let's wait how today shakes out and then I post my comments. I have my own roster chart I'll post it here tonight.

Well apparently you didn't show up today, which is weird, so hopefully everything is fine and you just didn't have internet or something.😟

Go on record, who did you want when we were on the clock? I considered including "should've try to trade up for Trenton Simpson using our 5th rounder" option but we have no idea if anybody was willing to trade with us and how far it would get us so I just left it with available guys.

Not knowing the player, so can't judge him, but from what I read you are correct - we reached for the need. And that is a bad thing. We didn't "have to". We should've taken BPA on almost any position in 3rd and figure out who plays instead of Edmunds later. Loved first two picks, don't like this one (not a player, but the approach). Let's just hope he turns out to be a long-term starter. @gonzo1105 I hope you're right

They don't have to love Spector. They love Josh Allen and wanted to invest in offense. That is what we all wanted.

Not necessarily. Just don't overthink it Beane. Draft BPA now, whatever it is, CB, DE, DT, S, LB, WR, whatever. Just no RBs pls

Yeah but they keep mocking "consensus" guy out there, and it is not happening in reality. There will be some of these players when we pick for sure.

Hyatt, Simpson, Adewabore, Johnson, Tillman, Downs, Ika, Clark Phillips, hell maybe even Washington Lots of good options.

Go on record, who did you want when we were on the clock?

Haha you never know what can happen

I have no idea how good he is. But he was apparently much higher on consensus big board and he is an OL so I LOVE THIS PICK. Finally we are trying to invest in OL properly. Love it.

So drafting defense only is in McD DNA, right?

From what I read here I don't want Jones otherwise pretty nice list, I'd add 2 names but I won't do it, since I don't want to jinx them. I prefer OL.

FYP

@GunnerBill are you alive? I hope its just a broken alarm clock...

I hate Jets

Ewan McGregor? Yeah he's a good actor, he can play whatever he wants

Well this is not going well so far

If true, he passed on 3rd and gave up 4th. Quite a lot. Doesn't matter if DK pans out.

In two hours, one of these guys will be a Bill: Schmitz, Avila, Bergeron, Tippmann, Mauch, Hyatt, Tillman, Simpson, Sanders, Johnson. I hope its any of OLine. We either stay put, or trade up using 4th next year (or even 3rd next year, having that compensatory one). Mark my words (or not).

LoL. That seems as incompetent take as it gets to me. He needs a weapon, he gets a weapon and therefore he is a loser? Yeah that makes sense.

Yep, I know, duly noted. But as a judge, I also need to hear other side's opinion

I tend to agree but I still want to see an OL help to be drafted today in the 2nd.

Thing is that even though you have only 19 2nd round grades and there are 27 picks in front of us I can all but guarantee that teams will be all over the place as usual and my guess is that there will be at least 5-7 players with your 2nd round grade available when we pick. There will be plenty to choose from. I agree that not having that 4th sucks big time but from different reason - we lost our ability to trade up in the 2nd for one of OL guys, which was my preference (and Beane's preference imo). Now we have to hope one of them slides. Anyway, do you see ANY OL value in the 3rd round in case we miss out in 2nd? Anyone who you would be content with?
