Explains a lot! No wonder he was a bit dazed after the mayhem.

 this is a great pick and makes sense, was expecting later rounds but everyone got picked up

They look furious. 

 

It's kind of pathetic how sensitive Bills fans are.

Personally, still stung by Gilmore. Never forget his look when we drafted him. Been oversensitive ever since. Can't help it.

 

However, I am totally relaxed about Cook now having seen the context and early intervview.

Death, taxes, and Beane throwing his second round pick in the garbage.

And a 4th.

How rude

I love this pick for the next 4 years.  
 

I thought we missed the boat by not trading up in rd 2 for Skyy moore, Pickens, McBride or Pierce.  We missed the boat on the top playmakers and RBs so trading back was the right move.  Getting 2 additional picks and drafting the best playmaker on the board.  Sure, it would’ve been nice to trade back further, but missing out on him would’ve really stunk.  
 

It might not be the value that some like, but we added someone that’s dangerous with the ball in his hands and catching out of the backfield.  Great teams can afford luxuries.  Let’s enjoy him.  He’s fun  

I'm still kind of upset we watched all those WRs go before us and didn't make a move. But at the end of the day we added a playmaker on O, which was needed big time. I like it.

Singletary and Cook will compliment each other well. Cook will soon become a fan favorite. Guy is explosive in open field. Singletary will be our grinder.

great post for only your 26th post. seems like a good number to walk away at. wishing IR on our 2nd rd pick because your legendary scouting is better than beane? draft really brings out the worst of our fanbase

Completely unfair. Nobody's wishing IR it's just injuries are a large part of the game. This guy is not your inside bruising type he's finesse and doesn't fit the need everyone is excited he might fill. He's gonna disappear in this climate

Cody Ford, Epenesa and Boogie haven't blown anybody away yet.

not sure what that has to do with it.  if Knox was just a blocking TE and someone said he's going to come in and catch a bunch of TD's i would say no he's just a blocking TE.  Cook is just a receiving change of pace RB, he's not a starter

he had over 1000 yards of production last year (728/284) as a “not starter” in a “running back by committee” GA program. Who gives a crap

if he doesn’t start? None of our current backups could come close to that.

Beane said we needed speed and they drafted two 4.4 speed athletes to start the draft

Guessing they're refering to Ford, Epenesa, and Basham. And doesnt like Cook. Just using context clues

Not the same thing as throwing it in the garbage. This wasn't the Jets taking Christian Hackenberg in the second a few years ago, this is a shifty and explosive back that we really needed.

Overreact much!

Did I say we should cut him tonight? It's an observation. Maybe you should unbunch your undies

[PayDaBill$]

Cook is a solid pick!

Josh Gordon and Sky Moore… I’ll take that over Kumerow brotha😉

Is this how incredibly petty you are? 
 

You typically are strong with WR draft picks…remember when you called Denzel Mims a weapon? 😂

And? Did he start? All I said was he's not a starter why would you think he would come in and be a starter here after never starting in college? He's a 3rd down pass catching back, change of pace

Another weapon for Josh that makes us even more dangerous. Absolutely love the pick.
