Yes, I agree that they concluded the defense needed an overhaul, and they were correct about that. Let's hope there is some strategic change in the schema to go along with the personnel adds. Surely it would help if Coleman makes a leap and Kincaid returns to form. They still need that outside field stretcher. I just think they paid a lot for Palmer, and I'll be surprised if he is more than adequate at best.

So, the opposite of investing a lot in the DL, allowing for competition, and letting the cream rise to the top. They just don't value the position sufficiently, imo. They count on Josh Allen to elevate the room, where I think they should add plus talent at the position and make it easier on Josh, and also more likely that a clutch play will happen in a must have situation in the playoffs.

My favorite pick of the draft for us.

Plausible surmise.

Is Amari washed? I think trade is likely the best option just on the basis of not much to hope for otherwise, though I'm not sure whose potentially available.

Yes, but they are not vertical speed guys who are going to separate and stretch the field, which leads to explosive plays and opens up space for the rest of the offense.

There absolutely were some mid-round WRs with the potential to help the WR room. Royals, Horton, Ayomanor, Thornton, just to name a few. There were plenty of options, but we traded up in the fourth for a top-heavy 3T who just had a bad year because of a back injury. (I hope the gamble works out, but replace that move with a WR -- Thornton went at 108, so he was off the board), and this draft looks much more rational and acknowledges a genuine need on offense.

This is an entirely reasonable post, but I won't believe it until Beane actually acts upon these suppositions.

Given the height on the DL, I'm hoping blocked shots, too.

That's got to change.

I agree with all of this, but it is also now true that the expectation is and should be that the defense is not going to be a liability, especially when it matters in the playoffs.

Praying hands emoji.

It is really the opposite of due diligence if this was not thoroughly investigated by the Bills. It's not like the media posts haven't been around for years, apparently.

Nope. Everyone knows it was bad. It wasn't bad, you can't take a WR in the draft bad.

Wow, I figured he'd be gone by now.

Sad thing is I would take Dolac at 240. If I get one pick at 206, I'd like Elijhah Badger.

Says as the Bills take another CB. You can have 206 and 240 . . .

He's perfect if you want a TE that is only good at blocking. He's good at that, though.

I think we found Beane's burner account @Mister Defense.

The Meltdown is well-deserved.

Wonder if anyone is blinking in Morse code?

I took him in about half my mock drafts. I also took a WR.

We just spent the bulk of FA and the prime day 1 and 2 draft picks on defense, and let's keep going and ignore WR? Terrible. Trade up from 132 and get someone like Horton, Royals, or Ayomanor. You might be able to wait at 132 for Thornton, I dunno, but take one and make Josh Allen's job easier, and just be decent about the other side of the ball, McBeane.

They think he brings significant interior pass rush; that's the only calculus that makes the trade worth it. And we don't have 3 or 4 guys right now who do that.

Einstein bad at math, who knew?
