RD 2, Pick 29 (61): Boogie Basham, DE (Wake Forest)

[TheNorwoodStrangler]

We need to stop Mahomes, we're all in on this year.. How do people not see this?

[Big Turk]

Comparison in one scouting report is Cam Jordan...that would be pretty nice if he turns into that.

Lucky for you we have a history of RB in round 3

Any good ones left in the draft?

I think they all make the roster.

 

Hughes

Addison 

Obada

Epenesa 

Rousseau

Basham 

Then you are cutting some DTs.

McD has talked about wishing Carolina kept more leaders in each position group back in Carolina. They want to get the youth into the building while Jerry and Mario are still around.

Darryl Johnson was just spotted heading to the outlet mall to be first in line at the Samsonite store tomorrow morning.

We finally replace lorenzo alexander

Where are all those posters that said Beane drafts BPA?  Another pass rusher!  I would have taken the center from OK because I don't think much of Morse.  But I've been beating the drum of needing to address the pass rush for three years so I can live with this move.

 

Biggest issue is he struggles with a shot gun snap - not sure you want that in a center for the Bills.  They run shotgun so much.

I like the Basham pick. I think he could be a great DE.

 

No, I do not like the draft strategy. Again, Rousseau was the wrong pick when CB or another position could have been addressed.

 

They picked two DE's for two reasons:

 

First, they don't draft DL well. Second, more importantly, they are going to cut a few DE's on our current roster to save or create cap space.

 

When Allen gets paid and if Edmunds gets extended, got to go cheap other places. Our DL costs too much versus production.

 

This is why I would have preferred JOK, LB from Notre Dame in Round 1 to replace Edmunds in 1-2 years because of cost.

 

Basham and Rousseau will replace Butler and maybe Addison. Ultimately, this is meant to replace Hughes next year.

 

DL will have Hughes (last year with team), the new guy we got in FA, Epenesa, Rousseau, and Basham going forward.

 

Hope youth movement will get coached up to cheap but more effective run and pass defense on DL.

Yep, BPA is a great fable that gets retold every year. I like taking two bites of the apple here. Ups our chances to hit on one and if really lucky, both. 

[Chicharito]

I like it . The bills are addressing their bigger than need! This is how you win championships. 

[bills_fan]

Throwing enough stuff against a wall and seeing what sticks on edge is not the worst idea.  Its gonna be a big need soon and we have to get to the opposing qb.  Use draft capital rather than spend big in free agency is not the worst plan I ever heard.  Hope they evaluated it right bc if they did we will have a monster pass rush.

I like the pick but Beane needs to draft a RB. We need a RB to help take some pressure off of Allen’s shoulders.

What RB do you want to draft who’s better than the backs we already have?

[jimmy10]

I might get his jersey based on his awesome name alone. 

[John from Riverside]

Beane do you want to complain about edge rusher is well here you go

[KOKBILLS]

I was as shocked as anyone else by this pick...

 

But I've been telling everyone that will listen to me these past few months that TB cracked the code...And it's pretty clear to me that McBeane watched the SB and thought the same thing...

 

The Bills intend on beating KC with their front 7...I think that's pretty obvious at this point...😎

I like him as a player but how much does he improve this team... that just means we are gonna have to cut some pretty good ends later. Between  Epenesa, Addison, Hughes, Basham, Rousseau and Obada the room looks really crowded. And then add to it that the staff likes Johnson.
