John from Riverside Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Either a better player at the time of pick or picked before us so Beane moved onto another player......and any chances of a UDFA looks like it didnt happen So the question no is.....did Beane consider it a top priority or not. Star is back.....so there is a buffer here.....but past him there does not appear to be a true one tech on this team yet.
CaptnCoke11 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Good thing season doesn’t start until September or we’d be doomed!!! Omg!!! 3
billsfan1959 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 I think this team is always looking to upgrade any position they feel they can. They apparently felt there wasn't a 1T worth taking over the specific player they chose with each pick. There will still be options to add a 1T this offseason if they choose. 1 1

We will see, but with the DEs they drafted - I am wondering if they are going to go smaller, quicker, and attack gaps by formation and worry less about a big 1T tackle. If you fill the gaps and tackle RBs on your way to the QB and you do it right from the snap - it can clog inside lanes and force more outside runs where athletic LBs and Safeties can make tackles. I think Beane was considering larger, quicker DEs with inside ability to be a larger priority. Edited May 2, 2021 by Rochesterfan 3 1
GunnerBill Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 I would still like to see competition there. I don't think we should just assume a 31 year old big man off a year of not playing picks up where he left off and Harrison Phillips (though he had a good December) was pretty atrocious for most of last season. 6 5
Matt_In_NH Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 The draft was limited in talent. The bills went for good talent when it was their pick. When we are complaining about not drafting a backup we know the roster is strong. Anyway also no te and they did not address DB til the sixth when there was basically UDFA level guys left. Would you really feel great if they used a sixth in a one tech? They have seven roster spots and can sign a guy still. They also went to the afc championship game without a one tech. Not they have Star back. This was not a huge need.

Freddie's Dead Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Was hoping for Khyiris Tonga in the 7th. But he was only 6'4", too small. 1

ghostwriter Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 He did upgrade IDL quite significantly by adding Rousseau and Boogie. 1T will probably be between Star, Oliver, Butler and Phillips. Don’t forget that a few players may shake loose from the tree during preseason cuts. Ertz may still be an option and likely a solid corner.
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Lotulelei and Phillips will be fine this year. That's a plug and play position that will be easy to fill next year if necessary. Not a need. 1 1

If it is so easy to fill, and if the claims of missing Star was such a big loss, then why did they do nothing to address this last season? 2 1

It's hard to defend that. Been there with the pets though, although one of my cats seems to love Brandon Beane (is staring at his press conference as if he were a bird).

I think he’s the best GM in the league. But he’s not perfect. We don’t have to love everything he does. I’m just saying he should be open to criticism. I didn’t agree with all the draft picks. But it’s like if you say that then it’s “how dare you!” 1
TheBeaneBandit Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 I believe once the draft madness has settled they will be hoping some veterans at 1T and CB shake loose. Hell, they may even sign Richard Sherman at CB they seem to like guys drivin down the street with a donut tire on lol.
