I agree with this take

Yeah - he also tore a biceps in college. When your musculature routinely rips from your skeletal frame, something "unnatural" is going on

Slightly OT - my son got me good yesterday (April 1) - txted "I can't believe the Bills just signed Cam Newton! What a waste of cap space, and risk ruining Josh Allen" - totally fell for it - I was like wtf and immediately jumped here and... nothing.

Man Beane is killing it with some of these quotes

Got dusty in here when I got to the froot loops story

Would prob pick Cribbs over McGahee, but I'm sure there's a bias towards players who played when the game existed (and player already instantiated in game)

Except for the Boldin comparison... ?

Had to read the last one like 4 times - kept seeing "provide groceries to undeserved and unemployed"

Found this from last years TC

Somehow I totally missed that NRC was avail

Land for sale east of Buffalo

yeah thought this was interesting

And when he figures out other teams don't radio the defensive call to the QB just before the snap

Austin Proehl next

It's sad the thing that came to mind watching the vid was social distancing and gathering size

F them - straight to hell

I'm trying to get through their TBD threads

This is an excellent post. The other point that the late round pick hand-wringers are completely missing is Beane was never going to use those extra 5th and 6th roumd picks to draft players in this draft. Never. They were acquired as draft captital exclusively to use to trade for targeted players. The other thing i think that people are missing with Beane is that he is not hung up on what the perceived chart value of a trade is. His MO is to get draft captital to make moves, and use what it takes to get the guy he wants. The extra picks were stockpiled for that purpose, and that's what he used them for. Same as what he did to get Josh.

Yep - system of cheating. Absolutely can't wait for the epic fail - and the resulting crying and whining from Tommy and the media that poor Tommy "DOESN'T HAVE THE WEAPONS!" "DOESN'T HAVE THE PROTECTION!" "DOESN't HAVE THE SYSTEM!" WHAAAA WHAAA WHAAA. I pray, PRAY the fail is enough to tarnish his fraudulent cheating legacy. What a douche.

Yep - with him, Lee Smith and Trent Murphy the Bills lead the league in Tormund Giantsbane

I'm glad you noted the de-value for a future pick with the 4th - some people on here are valuing it as a 2020 4th. Worth noting too that with the trade value of those picks - moving up a few spots would not have been enough to get one of the very top WRs in the draft regardless. AND we still have all our picks after rd 1 this year. The REASON Beane acquired the extra picks was to use them as capital to go after guys he targeted, not to use them to draft extra players this year. I also wouldn't be surprised to see him use more picks this year to move up and target specific players in this draft - as others have said, we have the luxury now of having some depth, and with a few FA moves the draft now is more about quality than quantity.

Equally notable is that the very top WRs in this draft wouldnt have been avail at 18

Beane has shown a willingness to use draft capital to get "his guy" - regardless of whether the "value" on paper is perceived as overpay. He acquires additional picks for the purpose of having capital to make deals to get players he targets, not to draft 11 players each year.
