Awful pick

Like you have a clue🙄

[LEBills]

Good player, wish we could have waited but maybe the ravens or cowboys would have taken him

[Helpmenow]

You knew that was going to happen getting a DB

[YoloinOhio]

I was praying for this 

[Big Blitz]

Love the player.  Great job - they knew Dallas wanted him.  

[GolfandBills]

Yes!!

[Blank Stare]

Great! Now we get to hear Sal mispronounce his name all the time! Haha. I like the pick. Not a big fan of the trade up, but in Beane we trust. 

[Aaronthebaron]

I really wanted Andrew Booth Jr, had a great feeling about him. I’ll trust McDermott knows CB’s better than me, though, it’s kind of his thing.

[Doc Brown]

Did we have to trade up?

[BillsfaninChicago]

I love it! We took a position of need and he has a huge amount of upside.

[drab08]

Not a huge fan.  Hope I'm wrong.  Definitely don't like having to move up to get him.

 

Just don't like the analysis I've heard that he doesn't like to tackle.

[YoloinOhio]

An absolute specimen

Wow! I figured the Bills would draft a CB but surprised they traded up for one. Dallas wasn’t taking a CB but maybe Beane got word of another team trading up. 

That was my guess too!

[Capco]

I think they saw the run on DBs and got antsy.

 

I like the selection tho.

[RyanC883]

another early round bean blunder

I don’t love it but I’m not going to second-guess McDermott on a CB…I do not understand the trade up though.

Dallas picks 24.

not worth losing a 4th pick for.  

Not many open roster positions on this team. For a Super Bowl contender go get your guys especially if you have them ranked higher on your board.

[716er]

One of the fastest CBs in the draft.

 

Beane wanted to get faster on defense.

 

[oldmanfan]

Big , athletic, fills a big need.  Needs to commit to tackling more aggressively against the run

I guess those medical concerns on Booth were pretty bad.
