Bean is allergic to offensive picks not named Josh Allen above the 3rd round. I swear he must call the Green Bay front office a lot cause this is exactly what they do with Aaron Rogers 

 

Before this season, this regime has drafted 14 players in the Top 3 rounds.  8 on offense.  7 on defense.  

If you count the pick traded for Stephon Diggs, that would be 9 picks on offense.

 

The Bills have the top 3 positions on offense locked down.  Quarterback, Left Tackle and Wide Receiver #1.

Positions like Running Back, Interior O-Line and Tight End can usually be addressed later in the draft.

Defenses are a little more evenly spread between positional importance.

Slightly.  
 

Still way too dependent on Josh Allen being superhuman. 
 

-Moderate upgrade at Guard with Saffold over Williams. 
 

-Slight upgrade with Crowder over Beasley. 
 

-Big upgrade of Howard over Sweeney. 
 

-As of now we have no outside WR3 without Sanders. 
 

-Not much of significance done at RB. 
 

Im seeing a slight upgrade of the Offense as of today, with a major worry at outside WR3. 

Wouldn’t hate it. We’d have an absolutely filthy TE room in ‘22. 
 

Also, ESPN will run approximately 45,000 stories on his family. 

So you realize that all of those small changes put together means that the top offense in the league has gotten better. I’m not saying they keep goi my defense I think we would all like to see them draft some more speed/blocking for Josh but all of those small changes put together could end up being a significant upgrade

So an upgrade nonetheless correct? I'm not trying to be a tool but some act is if it's Josh Allen all by himself. We will always be way too dependent on Josh Allen, he's a super human elite QB, we've finally arrived! Name teams with 2 elite WR, 2 elite TE's , an OL full of Pro Bowlers? 2 elite RBs, yes you can name a few here and there but in reality we have a superbowl roster as is imo. I'm not against offense, I'd like some competition in certain areas like RG, RT, more WR depth etc.

WR3 in this offense isn’t a luxury.. Dont want to upgrade RB, fine.  Don’t want to invest in a monster OL, fine.  We can get by with a below average RB room and average/above average OL.  Could it be better, sure.. but you can’t spend everywhere. 
 

We have NOTHING outside after Diggs and Davis.  If one goes down for a few games, as of now, take your pick of Kumerow, Hodgins or Stevenson.   If CB was a five alarm fire need last night, I believe WR is that tonight.

If we take another defensive player at 57, Josh Allen should be permitted one polite face slap of Brandon Beane.  

 

If Josh gently slaps Beane he'll end up in the Atlantic.

This is how I envision it too. 

We literally dedicate most of our draft capital on the defense and we still have defensive issues. It’s sad really.

Boy, you're really going to be pissed when 3 of our remaining picks are on defense as well.😉 🤣

If Levi Wallace wasn't staring at his underwear we won't be in this mess

Like him. Also like Damien Pierce as well. Heck, I'd take Jerome Ford over Cook. Need someone bigger.😁

I like Ford, nice size speed combo, quick feet, gets North quickly.

Yes, we have some issues, but we did finish with the no. 1 overall defense last year (though the quality of our offensive opponents is still definitely open for debate).  Sure, we've focused on defense in the first round the past three years, but our draft picks have been spread pretty evenly between O and D during Beane's tenure.

I've been running through a bunch of trade scenarios and it doesn't seem that hard to recoup the 4th round pick the Bills gave up yesterday (assuming they find a willing trade partner).   For example:

 

1.)  Trade with 49ers:    Drop down 4 spots in round 2.   Bills trade #57 (330 points), receive #61 and #134 (331 points)

 

2.)  Trade with Broncos:   Drop down 7 spots in round 2.   Bills trade #57 (330 points), receive #64 and #116 (332 points)

 

3.)  Trade with Giants:     Drop down 10 spots in round 2.     Bills trade #57 (330 points), receive #67 and #112 (325 points)

 

I hope Beane is thinking about / working the phones on this kind of wheeling and dealing.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.... Did we not upgrade the offense in FA? 

We literally spent the bulk of FA dollars on Von Miller and then added across the DL. Crowder, oft injured OJ Howard, Duke Johnson and 34 year old coming off an injury Saffold on offense. We need playmakers and still need to bolster the oline.

I’ll be wondering if they can still ***** up 13 seconds with all the money and picks they threw at it if that’s the case.😅

Well considering it was the coaches that cost us in that spot, I highly doubt it…

We neglect the offense like its the plague, especially the o-line. I guess the plan is to rehabilitate Ford into a Ferrari.

Don’t forget that every single one of the offensive players are on cheap one year deals.  Not necessarily evenly spread at all when you look at the big picture.

Completely agree with all of this, but it's possible that they find their WR3 in FA after the draft with a guy like Julio Jones.  Not the best of options and I'd prefer a WR in the draft, but I'm okay with BPA over WR if it's a significant difference in talent level.

I honestly feel sorry for Josh Allen. Imagine what he would do if we actually gave him the support he deserves.

This. I’m pretty tired of hearing Beane blow off about how important it is to help out Allen and then goes out and gives him some patchwork offensive help and drafts a first round DB. 
 

Oh by the way…I think the smokescreen about a first round running back has completely run it’s course after last night.

In these scenarios you have the Bills trading out of the second round just so they can get back a 4th round pick-that doesnt make any sense to me

Here’s my thing…I know the dude is a good team player and all, but at what point is he having a face to face with Beane about why they don’t spend premium resources on the offense (outside of Diggs).

If Allen gets hurt because we failed to protect him, I’m going to beyond livid.
