Beane as usual has done a great job of drafting the right players to fill the teams positional scheme needs, he has a very good crew assessing that needed talent. You are absolutely correct in your assessment of how Beane has set up the team for a high likelihood of continued success, and as you said no wtf picks. Nothing like a competent front office. This season is going to be fun to watch unfold. ? Go Bills!!!

Don’t be so obtuse, We used draft capital to get him, just like we did with the rest of this years draftees.

I like these roster groupings, some minor rearranging within a group or two...

Will someone raise the compensation?

All in all a good draft, combined with FA and our existing roster we are looking pretty well set. Go Bills!!!

Six hundred pounds of sin, staring in my window all I said was come on in... don’t murder me... Go Bills!!!

Yup, I quoted that very statement by Sean several times in threads post combine. It is the single most important trait for any receiver, nothing else matters if ya can’t do the one thing consistently. Of our current receivers Duke has the 4th highest catch percentage at 63.2 percent, behind Diggs, Brown, and Beasley iirc. Imo Foster, Nick and Ray Ray should be goners. Roberts, Williams and Mckenzie are all on the bubble. Roberts although good as a returner is not a good WR, sure wish the would assign someone else to do returns and gain a roster position for another scoring option on offense, and let the chips fall where they may with the remaining receivers. Jmo. Go Bills!!!

63.2 catch percentage, 4th best on the team at present.

Might be so, McKittrick ain’t safe either. Nick and Ray Ray are goners.

He is an official member of the gang of six, that mighty group of permanently disgruntled supposed Bills fans, to get in to this club ya gotta complain about pretty much anything the Bills do as an organization, all the time, Great isn’t it... ??

How about my winds ?

Ooh, sweater kittens, ?

I think you are right in that Foster is not long for this team, DW has a 63.2 catch percentage so at least he is likely to actually catch what’s thrown to him, McKittrick may be a goner too, relevant to who else gets brought in.

Lots of sacks, TFL FF, good against the run, what’s not to like? That 16 points is an average, good as it is, there were games where it was worse..

Strict BPA is indeed nonsense, draft selections are made to fit scheme need, it is the reality of how selections are made. Believe it or not, Beane just yesterday stated that he drafted Edge and RB and traded our first for a WR because they were needs, so we who know how it is actually done have some confirmation that GMs draft for need all the time. Go Bills!!!

Ethan, the draft is 100% need driven, from guys who will be starters to the late round developmental picks, they are all needs. Show us all a team that drafts guys they don’t need. Be it to gain talent, depth, development you name it, it’s all need based. Go Bills!!!

We can close this thread now. TW is a 49er now

I agree with what you said, to including the way Beane operates, all the things you stated are part of what in my mind is need ? Go Bills!!!

All that is true, the point i was making is that a teams needs, real or perceived are a determining factor in all draft selections, its always been that way. Yes some GMs are way better at it than others, we’re talking humans here after all... Go Bills!!!

Good to see!! Go Bills!!!

The team felt they had a need, it’s that simple, good or bad choice doesn’t change that need is always a determining factor. Yes our teams GMs have made bad choices over the the past years, that doesn’t change what determines draft selections. Beane even says need is a determining factor. Go Bills!!!

BPA has always been a myth, need is always factored into player acquisitions. Being that regardless of draft position, teams don’t draft players they don’t feel they have a need for, that being a starter or all the way down to developmental selections. One can play semantics with descriptions, but at the end of the day BPA is need driven. It’s good that Beane has said that need is a determining factor, maybe folk will come to understand. BPA, you keep saying this, I do not think it means what you think it means... Go Bills!!!

Nice opinion, True to form as always... GoBills!!!

Maybe a nice single malt,

Remember according to him it’s his draft... so the whole world needs to step aside in deference to his needs...
