He's got a knack for finding the ball and I always think that kind of stuff you just can't teach. And yes Taylor Rapp has injury history and could very well be playing his last year in Buffalo... But all that being said if they are all healthy Watts, Rapp, and Bishop are not all going to be on the field together more than maybe 5% of the snaps in 2025... If that... And the Bills safety positions are hard to learn as a Rookie under McD... It's a lot to absorb... Watts would be a pick with 2026 in mind... And that's fine... But I'm not sure the Bills are in that mindset this year. I though think they may very well trade down a couple spots from 30...I think they are coming up from those late 2nd's because of this exact possible scenario... Plus, maybe I'm dreamer, but I'm very interested in what Babich and McD can get out of Darrick Forrest. I think this is fairly likely, too. I think they can get about the same level prospect 10 spots later as they can get at 30. Quote

It doesn't matter what Beane would do, vote should be about what TSW would do. As for the second, I don't know and don't care. Take BPA on reasonable position in Nolen and figure your next moves then. Maybe there will be a CB we like when we pick, maybe we will need a little trade up, maybe we end up with taking WR and DE and then take two shots on CBs in the fifth round. All I know is that you DO NOT DRAFT FOR NEED in early rounds. That is just bad business. I totally agree with you, but Beane clearly doesn’t and he drafts for need early every year. It’s unfortunate, but it is how he operates. Thats why the roster has Josh and a bunch of ok players. It’s part of why we can’t get over the hump. Quote

The Bills are tight on cap space and they have leveraged a number of contracts to create current cap space. Almost any team who has a top CB is going to have to count on cheap rookie contracts for some positions. I’m sure Beane doesn’t like being in position to be forced to fill holes - he has said as much on many occasions. Quote

I feel like the good teams who win super bowls tend to lend more towards BPA…but I will say that I think Beane really does it backwards. Top of the draft should always be BPA. You can use the rest of the draft to plug holes. He plugs holes early and drafts BPA later. I truly believe that is why he has done well later in the draft. Quote
