I have complete confidence that Beane will find a impact player with that 30th pick

[John from Riverside]

T. White was in that area of the draft.........Beane found him....he can do it again.

 

The key is to not get boxed in a specific position......ie. if Running Back is the best value.......go with running back......if linebacker is the best player available.....go there

[FireChans]

Beane didn’t draft Tre. McD did.

 

Tough premise to start a topic on.

Beane will find a playmaker with speed.  My guess is WR.

Tough to say that that Beane didn’t draft Tre.  He wasn’t the GM but all signs point towards him drafting Zay and dawkins. 
 

I’m not claiming to know who drafted him.....just that i don’t know for sure.  Beane may have had a lot of influence on the pick, it just can’t be proven because it wouldve been illegal

I absolutely believe that Beane was involved with that pick.

He was in the Carolina War Room drafting Bills players all night? Going to the bathroom to call McD every 30 minutes?

Travis Etienne would look good in a Bills jersey....Brian Daboll's version of CJ Spiller.

If Beane found him the Panthers aren’t going to be happy about it.

 

but your idea is interesting, instead of drafting for a position take the available player that looks like the best.

That says more about problems with your thinking than it does about McDermott.

 

Doing that would literally have been stealing from his ownership. It would have been industrial espionage. 

 

It did not happen. But if you feel the need to believe that, go right ahead. There's plenty of room for completel nuttiness in the world. You might want to look in on the "JFK and Elvis are alive and living together on the moon" thing. I hear they've got a few vacancies over there.

No. Maybe one call.  Maybe a couple text messages.  It’s not hard.  
 

 Think what you like.  All I know is.....we don’t know and shouldn’t act like we do know.

We absolutely “know” that Brandon F. Beane was employed in the FO of the Carolina Football Panthers on draft night. We also “know” that he was not hired until after said draft was over.

 

Drawing the conclusion that he was “making picks” for Bills means you need a new set of crayons.

Perhaps the worst sales pitch in the history of the NFL draft.

^ Probably will be long gone.  “Fixing” the running game may have more to do with a stud OG than spending pick 30 on a RB.  
 

At pick 30 he will likely find a solid starter that is ready to play soon than an impact player.  At least based on my definition of an impact player.  You never know.

Etienne and Spiller are both excellent and very similar. In fact, here is a picture of both of them together:

Yup.  While we know he was employed in Carolina, you 💯 don’t know that he didn’t have any influence on the picks in that draft.  
 

Childish insults never prove anything.  Continue on.  

[Charles Romes]

Taking a page from the Diggs trade playbook I actually think the sweet spot In value is trading that pick for a proven player who is in the top 10 in his position.  Let’s be honest a pick at 30 is essentially a 2nd round pick. At the same time it can still be sold to a trade partner’s fan base as a first round pick. Why not eliminate all the doubt and get a proved top ten at his position player. Plenty of teams will be unloading assets this off-season.

It’s probably just a coincidence that we traded up ahead of the panthers to draft WR, Zay Jones.  The panthers then select a WR, Curtis Samuel.

 

then later in the same round, the bills trade up to the pick ahead of Carolina to take OL Dawkins.  Carolina selects OL Taylor Moton

 

Pure coincidence 💯

A top guard could be had at that pick, which we definitely need opposite of Feliciano ( who needs to be resigned) . Our line was poor at run and pass blocking until Feliciano came back and went to solid pass blocking and ok run blocking. We really need to improve both lines if we want to take the next step ( better press coverage as well)
