Aussie Joe Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Just now, 1ManRaid said: Yes. Once Etienne was gone, and they failed to trade down as evidenced by taking nearly the full time allotted to get the pick in. Like I said... we will find when the war room doco comes out

I think he was referencing the song "Juke Box Hero" (RB...box...juke...get it?)

You can't wish a top 15 talent DE into our #30 draft pick. Well hey Y'all, Beane just tried.

I think he may be confusing Benjamin (who had Etienne falling to us at 30) with McShay (who had the Bills trying to trade up above pick 23 for Etienne) Since Harris went at 24 and Etienne at 25, seems like good intelligence out there about where Etienne was likely to go. But either no one was interested, the price was higher than Beane wanted to pay, or, the player Beane was actually interested was not Etienne and was actually gone already before the possible trade partner was on the clock.

Once Etienne was gone, and they failed to trade down as evidenced by taking nearly the full time allotted to get the pick in. Everyone is saying the Bills took the full time but on draft night there was a clip of a celebration in the war room with 4:45 left to go. It was on NFL network. So either there was a slight delay in announcing the pick or maybe the paperwork was being filed. At 4:45 they had made their choice though.
