Rasul Douglas to Bills - per Rap

[Big Turk]

Also made a hell of a play against the Bills last year to pick off Allen.

Nice, I like play-making CB's.

I like PFF and what they do, but their ratings for certain positions are terrible. CB rankings are as bad as you get because they only grade plays where the CB’s coverage responsibility is targeted by a pass (which is absurd IMO). I’m not ripping the move or player, just PFF’s CB ratings. 

 

For the record I’m glad we made at least one move. Douglas should be able to help. He’s a competent, experienced mid-tier starter at CB, which is among the things we needed. While we gave up a fairly valuable 3rd round draft pick, at least we got back GB’s 5th. 

 

Next Gen stats also says Douglas has been excellent and so do people who break down film, so this isn't simply going on one site.

So we now have a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6?

 

That’s a lot of Day 3 picks…

Bean seems to do good on the later round picks---good for the salary cap too--lol.

Step back the Chiefs have scored 20, 17, 19 and 9 against the Lions, Jags and Broncos twice and added Mecole "butter fingers" Hedman at WR. But I know we should work on scoring more than stopping the opposition cuz that worked in 13 seconds game.

To be fair, we punted 4 times in that game. If that number is 3, we win.

Last year we had Tre. This year if Jackson or Benford go down we got Josh Norman. This is a solid pick up and if Tre does come back, a potentially great CB tandem.

Norman should only play if we face Titans in the playoffs so he can get his revenge & smack Henry down.

Why would he smack down his own teammate? Seems odd…wait, we didn’t trade for him? I was told it was a done deal?!!?

Also you have to figure they will do some draft day trades either punting picks away for future selections or to move up in other rounds. 10 picks is good for this team but given that the Bills couldn’t roster more than 3 draft picks from 2023’s draft (they had to IR Shorter and then their back two picks were waived and picked up by the Texans) that volume will have to come down a bit to 6-7 selections at minimum.

Don't confuse me, I'm old--I think we signed him a couple of weeks ago.

[muppy]

a shocker. Beane did pull the trigger for some D help. Atta boy!

 

I am very late to the thread but it seems the consensus is overall very positive. That is the best news !!

 

GO BILLS

To the folks who are freaking out about losing a third round pick: they weren’t going to pick the guy you wanted anyhow trust me. 

[BuffaloRebound]

probably upgrade over post ACL injury Tre.

Didn’t chase young go for a 3rd? Former top 3 pick and considered franchise guy. I like the player the Bills got but giving up such a high pick seems like a lot? My guess is that there was competition.

well hell yeah were chasing Miami and Jaz and Balt is improved and our safeties are older-slower and as far as corners go..the best is seriously hurt - again - a 6th rounder beats out a first rounder and the rest are backups one of which had to start, one is 35 and out of football for over a year...and oh yeah Dean Marlowe is not available 

[Ben]

We flipped a third for a fifth and got a legit starting corner whos only 28. This seems like a win no?

And that poster isn’t part of our fan base. They need or like attention so come to another’s teams board to make snarky comments, I feel bad for them really. 

 

Ha?  That poster?  You should feel bad for our endlessly suffering fans.

Is the defense like the offense where it’s so complicated that it takes two years to figure out how to use a guy and get him on the field?

Not blindly trusting anything or anyone. It's just one more small piece of news for people to digest. Most people, including myself, will for our own opinions after watching him play in our system for a few games.

I will hope and try to trust that McBeane know how to evaluate veteran corners, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

All the trade deadline winners and losers takes have the Bills consistently as winners.  So there is that too.
