Outside of Josh Allen, who do YOU believe the Bills have DRAFTED that's all Pro caliber?

2 of those showed up before beane. Taron Johnson isn't an all pro

I’m a little confused by the question. I assumed you meant by the current GM, but then I read that’s not what was meant. Are we talking about players currently on the team? Drafted by Beane? Ever? What’s the question here?

Milano?

Tre White?

 

Who you got? The reasoning for this will be revealed, I think, over the course of this thread.

Expand  

Truly all-pro caliber? Other than Josh, not a one, not by Beane. He has drafted some nice players though, but no elite ones.

 

If you go to the draft before he came, Milano did have a good year, like to see him keep it up & work on his tackling. Dawkins has always been very overrated, and so was Tre White even pre-injury. 
 

No doubt this upcoming draft / off-season is a big one for him if they are to break through.

I agree Taron if he stepped up more but he isn’t it either. All so close

He'd better perform or he needs to hit the bricks

You're right. This thread makes it clear, no? 5 years, no all pro draftees by Beane outside of Allen

Unless next season is a disaster from the get-go, I will give them another year before I start calling for heads.

That'll be seven years for Beane. Very generous.

Beane has gotten the big things right: QB, salary cap, primary trades/FA (Diggs, Miller). But the drafting has been average. Can’t have everything.

Salary cap? Have you seen the situation lately

Seven years with many, many wins. 
 

If they only won 7-8 games this year, then maybe yeah.

I love Knox, but neither he nor TJ are AP

Well factually White and Milano are the two picks of this regime to have been first team all pros. 

 

Even Josh has only been a 2nd team all pro (though I think he was robbed in 2020). 

 

Knox is the one other with the ability to be in the conversation (though beating out Kelce is always going to be tough) but would require the Bills to actually feature him more.

Expand  

 

But Beane didn’t pick either one of them. Do we give McD credit for the 2017 draft?

I think they are.

 

Are they the absolute best at their position in the entire league? No.

 

Yet, they are good enough to be considered all-pro.

It’s amazing McDermott could do anything with these losers
 

We like winning

That was the 2017 draft, which yes, I give McDermott credit for. 2018 on are the Beane drafts. But ultimately this regime is very aligned they jointly own it all IMO.

I think Knox could be. He is open a LOT. The Bills need to feature him more. It would need a down year from Kelce too for him to be 1st team all pro but as he ages....

Taron Johnson and Bass are the only two on your list that Beane drafted.
