Expand Agree. The dread years brought lots of interesting UDFAs to town, but now the opportunities are elsewhere. So use those late picks to get that guy you otherwise might have seen as an UDFA. 1

kjack151 Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 All I can say is Beane has a pretty decent track record managing the club, and I feel like he has earned my trust until proven otherwise. 1

Bass, hodgins and Dane Jackson were 6th and 7th rounds picks last year. But let’s jump to conclusions why Don’t we?? Expand Expand Yes a year ago. They aren't adding another kicker. They signed Wallace and they have Jackson. So where do you see an open roster spot? Third TE and maybe fourth safety? They had to phantom IR Hodgins just to keep him. He too will find it hard to make the roster this year.

Moving the picks for a fourth next year would have been smarter You are probably correct Expand Teams are viewing it two different ways this year it would appear. Low number of eligible players, opt outs, and lack of contact equals a poor draft class. Other teams are seeing it as a way to find gems that might have been higher picks in the more traditional years. It looks like Beane is leaning towards the latter. 1

psuscott16 Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Calling it now. They take a punter. James Smith as a guess 1

To me its a numbers game and I just don't see the roster spots that are up for grabs that will make a difference. If he swung for a TE or a DT I'd understand but another swing OT? Neither seem capable of playing center or guard so I'm perplexed

billsfan89 Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Smart trade, hopefully they get some good depth players at LB and in the secondary.

He likes these picks and can possibly trade some of the vets he has picked up on the oline for mid rounders next year once camp injuries hit. 2

Victory Formation Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 I wanted Tedarrell Slaton, but Beane and McD know better than I do. Very interesting draft and I mean that in a good way. First three picks were fantastic.
