Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Rounds 4-7 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)

[MarlinTheMagician]

All kidding around aside, I humbly submit we have had a very good draft, which will go from very good to great if Coleman pans out.

possibly, but does that matter? they drafted 4 players that will likely play a large amount of snaps year 1. That's a pretty big deal. If we can do it again in 2025, they'll be ina  good position for the next few years.

Agreed. The first 3 picks definitely are going to get a lot of playing time and even starts.

Bills on the clock.

 

Special teams guy.

 

 

[JMM]

I wonder with Flornay  if they will wait, and if not drafted sign him as a priority UDFA 

[MarlinTheMagician]

A kicker went ahead of Rice!  I was hoping they would take Flourney so we could not.

Is there a chance that the Bills didn’t draft a single day 1 starter for 24-25? 

 

Nah. Keon is gonna start and so is Cole. The third most likely is Sedrick Van-Pran.

Yes…it matters!  You don’t draft non starters in the first 2 rounds.

I don't think i've ever seen you this positive lol

I'm generally positive when I have reason to be and negative when I have reason to be. I think it was a solid draft for depth given what we walked into it with. I have concerns about where our elite defensive players for the next 1-3 years are going to come from, but we weren't in much of a position to do anything about that this year. I would expect next year we'll have to focus on a couple of playmaking defenders. I anticipate needing at least a dominant pass rusher and corner, if not a LB too.

Cmon

Take Rice

This guy is a real dog

Pick is in for 2 minutes now, can we stall long enough to go to commercial?

 

Yes we can.

Draft time is always a good time to remind myself how many obsessive compulsive people there are in this world

[ROCBillsBeliever]

Tylan Who? 

 

Whelp, developmental, athletic OT. Okay. Need is probably there.

You do when you draft 28th and the talent isn't there. The Safety will be starter this year, just maybe not "day 1". The WR will likely get 60% reps - that's starter level even if he starts the year as "WR3". The RB will likely get 30-40% snaps - that's a significant role. The DT will likley get 40% of the defensive snaps. Does it really matter if they dont get another 10-15% that the "starter" gets?

The biggest deal is at the safety spot where whoever starts will have 80-90% of the snaps.

Beane is actively avoiding WR

[BuffaloBillyG]

Just for the heck of it...I want the Bills to take Cole Burgess WR from SUNY Cortland.

[MarlinTheMagician]

Back-up tackle woo-hoo.  I guess Shorter was able to block Van Den Mark's attempt to take control of the draft.

I had him in a couple mocks at 248

Did he fetch your wallet by chance?

[SoonerBillsFan]

Is Beane for some reason intentionally not drafting WR's that are there?
