There are only defensive guys here right now outside of TEs so this list is going to be defense heavy starting out 

 

Thank you.

 

Offensive players don't report until Friday and afterwards.

It's nice to see but ultimately most teams meet with a lot of players at the combine. It's kind of footballs version of speed dating.

The more I watch Mike Green the more I think he could be a pretty good contributor year 1. I’m interested to see his combine results 

He doesnt have Bills DNA.  I heard he had multiple sexual assaults, and that he was thrown off one college team for one of the attacks.

hopefully Bean drafts the correct people this time, unlike the last time he sold-out D heavy and over drafted Groot and then took Basham.  Oh, and the time he took Elam in the first.  And another time when he traded back into the first for Edmunds.  

 

I really hope we get a vet D player with our number 30 pick in a trade and get a 1 tech later in the draft.  Grab FA WRs.  

Over drafted Rousseau.  lol.  Good grief

When Beane trades up, watch out. He traded up for Edmunds in 2018, up for Cody Ford in 2020, up for Elam in 2021, and up for Kincaid in 2022. Not exactly an all-star lineup. Plus, who knows if he would have hit, if only by chance, on all those picks he surrendered to trade up.

 

No GM hits on everything, and they all have picks that are howlers. But for whatever reason, Beane tends to do worse than his top peers in the early rounds and better in the later ones. Given this, maybe he should be looking to trade way down, like into the third and fourth rounds, when he may tend to rely on the judgment of his experts instead of his own and McDermott's.

Good.  We all know it’s the defense keeping this team back.

Added 5 more guys so far this morning

For what it's worth I like that list.  Grant, Amos, and Collins would be my favorites.  Green is pretty interesting also.  

People need to forget Grant. Literally every team’s local media have identified Grant as their main sleeper if he is there. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in the top 10.

The bills should look into Jordan schultz, apparently he almost started a fight with Ian Rappaport in a starbucks yesterday.

 

Rich kids.  

 

I find this story pretty funny.  I wish they got into a hair pulling fight and were rolling around the starbucks floor.  It would have been hillarious.

This is why it is sometimes so difficult to discuss Beane's drafting here. People say complete nonsense like this and it derails any rational discussion.

 

First two redrafts I opened:

Groot 18 to Miami

Groot 12 do Dallas.

 

Yeah, overdrafted.

Agreed…I do not trust Beane to make the right pick…

[TheFunPolice]

Draft both Caldwell and Grant at DT. Both 340+ pounds. 

 

Grant late 1st

Caldwell 4th round

 

Perfect!

[jahnyc]

Surprised that they are meeting with more safeties than CBs.  Would think that FS can be filled through free agency rather than in the draft.  Understand that these combine meetings do not indicate much, but CB seems like more of an overall need than safety (although safety definitely is a need).

I may have some questions for you on this one, its sounds like you may have a very weird fetish

It was all defensive players because only the defensive players report there first and offense doesn't get there until Friday.

most likely because they haven't rolled out the offensive players yet.....

Well my suggestion is you make that clear in your OP then, because the way you wrote didn't imply that info and there are several posts in here that seem to think we are intentionally meeting with D over O which is misleading and not the case.

What isn’t clear about obviously so far it’s defensive right in the OP. The TEs are technically here interviewing which is why I didn’t state that explicitly. 
 

Obviously as a football fan you should also know that the combine is taking place and the  defense is only here right now. The schedule has been plastered multiple times on this forum. 
 

Come at me correct next time in a different manner and I’ll take your suggestion better as I’ve already explained that in a later post as well as others but you’d know that if you read through it.
 

Maybe hey man saw you’ve been correcting people in the thread and thanks for putting this together, could you make it more clear in the original post.
