Don't sleep on Joseph. The last 5th round undersized linebacker we took worked out pretty darn well.

Great pick.  One of the best LBs in the country.

Haven't done a ton of film work on Joseph, but his name rules, he's speedy and instinctive, and we need backup LB's. Good fit behind Milano, both in terms of learning under another undersized scrapper of an LB and in case The Cookie goes down. I'm with you, McBeane! ???

I don't think there are any elite traits. I had a late third on him so he would have been value but to me he is in the NFL what Justin Hunter has been. A guy who is a 4th or 5th receiver but has redzone value 

 

The drops were a show-stopper for me on Hakeem. Maybe not the most fair assessment, but I had little tolerance for guys who can get open only to have the pass "doink" off their hands. Drove him down my list as well.

Had (really hopeful) mid to late 3rd and 4th round grades on Josh Oliver and Jalen Hurd and it crushed me watching both exit in the early 3rd before our pick. But glad they did not go to NE.

 

Evaluators were all hating on Hurd last year, but it did not take much digging to see that they just were not doing their homework. Once you get past the Tennessee transfer decision you are left with a 6'5" 226lb receiver who has clocked a 4.37 40, with really good hands and quickness, who has been willing to run between the tackles, and leaves it all on the field. A bit of a deep thinker and loner, but no indication that he does not have a love for the game. New to WR and a project at the position sure, but hard to ignore the upside.

 

Apparently, I was not alone :(

 

Beane did get decent value prospects on most considering where he picked and my only question was around the RB selection, but I concede that with all the running backs the Bills had on their roster (even factoring age) I did not really look too hard at RB prospects this draft so I know nada about this kid.

Yep. I used to sleep on later round picks and just hope that maybe one would pan out but the way this regime has been so far finding talent there, and in the undrafted guys, I get a lot more excited about them now

I haven’t been home all day and can’t find it on the google machine, what happened in the 4th round? Did the Bills trade out? If so, what did they get in return.

Traded both fourths last night.

Looking at the summaries of the edge guys left, I can't help but think we aren't adding any of them. Maybe we have decided to sign Ansah to a prove you are healthy 1 or 2 year deal or maybe we are just rolling with the edge guys we already have.

 

Note: Oliver is twitchy enough to be moved outside on occasion also.
