Ethan in Cleveland

Block better. Replace Morse in 2022

You guys are reaching to defend the Doyle selection. There is no defense for it. It was a bad pick. They should have gone pure center or 1-tech DT.

You forget future HOF OT Jason Peters - signed as a TE first though

His first ProBowl was an injury replacement and does not count. Oddly he deserved the first trip to the ProBowl but there is zero explanation for making the ProBowl last year. He was terrible.

He played like a bottom 10 LB last year. None of us know how much that was injury or just regression. He played as an above average to very good MLB for the second half of the 2019 season. If he can sustain that level of play he will be worth it. Picking up the option makes the most sense.

So picking Allen at 7 was bad? Ford or Bates would have been fine. They have enough guards that could take Ford's spot if needed. As it stands now, they probably dress Bates and Brown because both can be swing tackles and Bates can play any interior spot in a pinch.

Who cares about a year or two from now. Winning the SB is the goal now. Not a long string of playoff losses.

You will be. The pass rushers look good.

Beane to McD:”The roster is good enough to win the SB. Get out coached in the playoffs again and you are gone”

Overall B+ Really like the pass rushers. Don’t like that they did not come away with a 1-tech DT and added two swing tackles. l would have preferred a true center to replace an overpaid and average Morse in 2022. Knox had better develop because they did nothing to address TE. Rousseau - A. I might have gone Tryon but I have no issue with this selection. If Etienne was still on the board I take the dynamic RB, but I’ve been asking for a boost to the pass rush for a few years. Basham - A. I have no problem doubling down on DE. This kid is non-stop and will be a terror next to Oliver rushing from the inside in the nickel D Brown - B. Little help for 2021 but I understand the move. Dawkins and Williams will look very expensive when they have to sign Allen and Edmunds and neither of our tackles are elite. Taking a chance on this kid’s athleticism makes sense. Doyle - D. This pick makes no sense. They barely have a need for swing tackle now, let alone two. The greater need was a 1-tech DT. A move up for a big guy makes more sense here. Stevenson - A. I advocated for a return guy predraft but that was before the brought back McKenzie. Either way this guy has speed and should be the 6th WR. It will be a battle between McKenzie and Hodgins for the 5th WR spot. Hamlin - B. Again fills a need that I wanted predraft for backup safety and special teams. Nice length. Solid pick. Wildgoose - C - pencil him in for the PS now. There is no room in the defensive backfield. Tweener not fast enough for outside, but could develop as an option behind Taron Johnson. Anderson - B. Gave him a B because he looks like Incognito and might be a developmental center. No chance he makes the roster but a PS center project in round 7 is fine.

Pretty sure I advocated for a safety late in my wish list pre-draft. Like the height. Good pick.

The OP is spot on. The swing tackle will line up in jumbo sets and will report as eligible from time to time. Bates did last year.

Recently, I wanted Winters to get playing time at guard early last year. The coaching staff apparently agreed but wow was he bad.

Keep posting your opinions. Don't listen to this board. Most are just Beane sycophants and most of them don't know what sycophant means. I'd be down with that!

Good choice. Might challenge McKenzie for the last WR spot

Looks like short arms for 6'8"??? Love the blocking air technique with the right hand. Just humor guys...not being serious

Hope so.

Seems that way. To me its a numbers game and I just don't see the roster spots that are up for grabs that will make a difference. If he swung for a TE or a DT I'd understand but another swing OT? Neither seem capable of playing center or guard so I'm perplexed

Yes a year ago. They aren't adding another kicker. They signed Wallace and they have Jackson. So where do you see an open roster spot? Third TE and maybe fourth safety? They had to phantom IR Hodgins just to keep him. He too will find it hard to make the roster this year.

If there is no available talent there, why would there be talent a round later?

The two 6th round picks will not make the roster and have a better chance of being Wyatt Teller on another team than doing anything for the Bills now or in the future. A backup or Ertz has a better chance of making a difference in 2021 than do two project swing tackles.

Did anyone go into this draft thinking we needed two 6-8" swing tackles? Where is the project DT to replace Star? Where is the speed that Beane spoke about? Love the two pass rushers. After that Beane crapped the bed.

If he is cut then the other 31 teams have a shot at him. Trading worthless picks ensures you get him Who cares about the future. Win a SB now.

They likey could have packaged the second 5th rounder and a 6th for a 4 next year. But you are correct. Need two to make a deal. Just don't understand picking up more late round picks.

Trade the rest of the draft for Ertz Depth where? There is no place on the roster for these guys. Maybe they plan to make one of them the blocking TE in heavy sets.
