Logic Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I just wanted to make a quick mention of the fact that the 2020 draft is said to be filled with high quality skill position players, but quite bereft of quality offensive and defensive linemen. I know there are some fans here who are worried about the WR Corps. I'm not one of them, as I feel that Foster and Brown on the outside with Jones and Beasley (and Duke Williams?) inside will be a big improvement over last year. I believe they're following the New England model of having a platoon of guys who can do specific things and win specific matchups. But for those that ARE concerned, well... Strengthening the protection in front of Allen and the defensive line were the right things to do in this draft. Not only is building from the trenches out the right way to build a team, but that's where the value and impact was in this draft. Next year, as I said, will have a lot of quality WRs and RBs on the board, and oh by the way, the Bills are set to be in the top 3 in available cap space AGAIN in 2020. Breathe in, breathe out. Our offense has more firepower this year, and there will be more available upgrades next year, too. Beane's got this. Trust the Process. GO BILLS! 14 1 1
MakeBuffaloGreatAgain Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Very few times I agree with you... but just like Trump agreed with Cher about not letting terrorists vote, I agree with you on this topic. 2
billspro Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I believe this front office has a great vision and is able to incorporate information like this into their long term plan. 1
YattaOkasan Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Been a pain trying to tell people this all draft. 1
BillsfanAZ Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 If the Bills didnt think a 3rd round WR would beat out who they currently have, why pick him? You can only get so many impact players out of one draft. 2

I agree, but also not sure we're done yet at WR, or Edge for that matter.
Warcodered Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 So what your saying they went with the strength of the draft class what kind of madness is this. 1

Bockeye Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted this in another thread but probably belongs here. Hmmmm....maybe the front office knows more than all you hand wringers. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/the-2020-wr-class-could-truly-be-historic Oh yeah, there’s this too. Some STUD FA WR’s next year. I’d take every single one over any that were taken in this draft. https://clutchpoints.com/top-10-nfl-free-agents-2020-class/ 1

I mean...in terms of actual drafting average, I think if you get THREE solid starters, you've done well. Very few draft classes, over time, produce 5 solid starters. 1
row_33 Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Not a clue how they could possibly know this as of today oh yeah, they say this every year

New to the board, but just wanted to quickly mention that I agree and appreciate the insight for next year's draft class. I'm excited about the RB from FAU as well. I have a good feeling that he's going to turn into something special for us. Hopefully all the new pieces (and coaching) for our o-line will get that group improved. If so, that alone will be a big boon to our passing attack
MJS Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I agree completely. And to be honest, I've been hoping for John Brown for a couple years now. Maybe I'm a little higher on him than some. I think he can be very good. 1 hour ago, row_33 said: Not a clue how they could possibly know this as of today oh yeah, they say this every year Hmm. Not that I've noticed. I do think a common thing to say is that the QB's aren't that great this year, but next year they'll be amazing. I seem to hear that every year, with exception to the 2018 class. Everyone knew that was a strong QB class.
