Brandon Beane mid round picks looking great

Recommended Posts

I felt like this deserved its own thread since hes been critisized of late. 

Taron Johnson- forth rounder, one of the best slot cbs in the league 

Dawson Knox- third round, quiet today but has become one of the best tight ends in football

Devin Singletary third round has looked great the last month. When he gets carries he steps up.

Harrison Phillips third round, looks like we have a 1 tech and hes been playing hurt all year

Dane Jackson seventh round hes no Tre but hes more than held his own 

Gabe Davis fourth round, our second best receiver and a future long term starter.

Sorry but I'd still rather see him hit on the high picks because that's what usually matters.

 

At least Groot showed signs of life today with the SS fumble after weeks of being dormant. Really need one of these young guys to emerge in the playoffs if this team truly fancies a SB run.

I did yes late 3rd and a long term tight tackle is a home run pick

I feel like we’re used to having early round draft picks and now we’re picking late each round…not many sure things left late in the first

I would say that 1st round picks have been mostly good. Groot hasn’t been bad for a rookie jury still out. Diggs was acquired primarily by a first round pick and that has paid off. Ed Oliver in my opinion is a very good player on this defense and I expect him to be a key cog in the defense going forward. Josh Allen was obviously a great first round pick and I know everyone like to pick on Edumonds but I think Edumonds has been a good player for the defense. 
 

Second round picks are another issue. 2018 they didn’t have one but Cody Ford has yet to pan out, AJ Epenesa has not done much and Boogie has been at best decent as a rookie role player.

 

Hopefully the second round pick issue is more just bad luck than anything else.

Dawson Knox is not one of the best tight ends in football.

Devin Singletary and Harrison Phillips have had a good one month, the last month.

Dane Jackson is good enough to make the roster, so that's a win.

 

Other than that, sure.

Knox is a Top 10 TE.   Not Kelce/Kittle level but he’s very good.

Everybody could say whatever they want about a couple of missed picks here and there 

 

The bills have been one of the best drafting teams in the NFL since McDermott got here

Just now, BillsFanThru-N-Thru said:

Still one of his best picks isn’t even on the Bills anymore Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller in the 5th Rd.  Of course he gave him away for 5th and 6th rounder which the 5th ended up going to Minni for Diggs and the 6th was Bass. Bass at least should’ve also been mentioned

Yeah but it wasn't one of his best picks when he was here 

 

People don't understand that people get fires lit under their butts and they improve

When healthy this year, Knox is the best TE this team has had in a long time.

 

You don't have to be "one of the best" at your position in the entire league to be a very good player.

 

For TE's, he's tied at #1 for most TD's with Mark Andrews (Bal) & Hunter Henry (NE) while having played 2 less games.

 

He's done this while only being targeted 64 times. In comparison, we have others like:
 

Mark Andrews - 132 targets

Travis Kelce - 122 targets

Mike Gesicki - 102 targets

Kyle Pitts - 101 targets

Zach Ertz - 93 targets

George Kittle - 85 targets

 

So, I think it's more a matter of making the most of your opportunities, and the Bills having so many viable receiving options. He's also caught a much higher % of targets this year, so that shows he still hasn't reached his ceiling. Guys like him & Gabe Davis are just getting better.

I've been pleased with Tre'Davious White, Josh Allen, Dion Dawkins, Ed Oliver, and Greg Rousseau. No one bats a thousand and the hits outweigh the misses. Especially when you take into account the mid round success.
