Coach Tuesday

I'm kind of with you - I get the thinking, Shady is probably here for one more year only and they don't want to be forced to take a RB high next year, but it's just not a value position (unlike CB, WR, EDGE). In fact other than Oliver they haven't drafted any value positions - they've drafted the same positions they could easily be crate-digging for in free agency. That said, I like all of the players they drafted. I'm just concerned that next year they're going to be forced to pay big $$ or a high pick for a DE, CB and WR.

In watching his clips, I came away interested in recruiting his offensive line coach to join our staff - not sure who it is (suppose it could be Googled), but man - those are some solid blocking concepts.

In what decade are we going to finally have a tight end? I wonder if Beane doesn’t even trust his own pass catcher evals anymore.

He’s a bit country for sure. NYC will be an interesting spot for him. Oliver will bring some much-needed character to the Bills’ D...

I disagree. Haskins will struggle there - offensive line is just meh, Gruden might not last until 2020, front office is full of back-stabbers. Sweat is a dog, I get the sense he lacks professionalism.

But when you factor in the stupidity of last year's draft - taking a running back at 2 in a QB-heavy draft where everyone knew that the 2019 crop of QBs was going to be a huge downgrade - he's a moron. They could have Darnold throwing to OBJ with Josh Jacobs taking handoffs this year. Gettleman is a clown show.

192 tackles (53 for a loss - 25% of his tackles were for a loss!), 13.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 11 pass deflections over three seasons - most of that AS A NOSE TACKLE!

If Ya Sin and Metcalf are both there at 40 it's going to be an interesting conversation in the war room. I'm sure McD is eyeing another corner, and it'll be up to Beane to reign in his coach's defensive tendencies.

This. They really struggle to evaluate college WRs. They’ve never really hit on one. Harry is going to be used as a “big slot” WR to help offset the loss of Gronk in their offense. It’s still a major downgrade and a big projection on their part. I lose no sleep over this pick.

James Harrison?

You should be tarred and feathered, amateur.

Dude SPELL

Folks who quote the entire OP for a one sentence response should be tarred and feathered.

Lawrence not Wilkins.

You are starting to convince me...

Good stuff.

Sure - if this franchise is trying to set some sort of record for trading away good LTs.

Keep in mind that 2020 is supposed to be a really bad year for offensive linemen. This is the year to scoop one, especially if you can grab a decent TE in later rounds.

I don’t believe you.

Eh you may be right. Some of us (myself included) probably need to stop opining that McBeane can’t afford to be taking risks - you’re probably more correct in saying that they can’t afford NOT to... Kearse is an interesting comp - freak was a great name for him - I remember him chasing down receivers 25 yards downfield, he played with his hair on fire when he came into the league. If only Clowney had Kearse’s mentality... But back to Metcalf, man I don’t see it. I see the explosiveness sure, but he is so stiff and has decent (at best) hands... if they’re focused on adding an explosive playmaker on offense why not take Hollywood Brown, he can take the top off of a defense and has shown legit production... Metcalf just doesn’t seem built for the modern game, to me. But you’re right about the concept - a bunch of Jonah Williams or Christian Wilkins drafts will get you fired, ultimately, even if you get to join the Dick Jauron Genial Ex-Coach Alumni Group.

Didnt you just make an argument in favor of trading down?

He had some injury issues for sure, but when he was healthy he was a solid RT. But top ten? Take the best right tackle in the game, whomever that is. Are they worth a top ten pick? I'm really not sure.

Was Brian Bulaga worth a #9?

Can't I just enjoy Draft Week in peace?

They have been doing it for a couple decades.
