Sure thing. Just like Carter was last year when we DESPERATELY needed him in the third round, so much so we got out of the first.

 

Is Carter now the water boy?

 

We also signed the 3 from pitt. Plus hoecht will move around and play some 3. 

 

By my count, we just drafted a fourth string player.

On the Rich Hill chart Bills give up 212 to get 210. They didn't really get reamed, except in this draft I'd want to be maximizing the top-100/110 picks.

 

Very slight overpay then. This is definitely not the kind of draft class where the Bills can use ten picks. Once again the Beane m.o is to get the guys they like by using picks to move around. Shouldn’t be a surprise at all.

I don’t think he’s as undersized as people say

All out pass rush - generally means obvious passing down and you just get your four best pass rushers out there

Gotcha. Thanks.

I am whelmed. Uninspiring pick to trade up for, frankly.

 

i don’t understand the obsession with drafting Ed Oliver profile-ish players when we are missing the piece that really lets them play free.

I have no idea how he’s gonna do but if the bills like him they 100% had to jump San Fran or he was gone

It seems a did a fair bit of 1T work in college and has some success there, no? 

Are we judging him strictly on his weight?

 

 

He did a little bit in 2023. Less so in 2024 and he was better for it. He is a 3T.

So, what was the deal and when do we pick again? Thanks

 

 

Don't know the deal exactly, but they have a 3rd rnd pick now and won't be up again until then, unless they trade up again.

Friend of mine went to SC.  Said he's a monster DT and we'll love him.  Constantly in the back field and scouts are dumb for not getting him in the first round.  He thinks he'll be a 10 year starter.  

He will be staring over Oliver, or even alongside?  It's possible, but not every play is speed and timing backed with power into the OL.  Sometimes they have big guys that push you around. 

[NickelCity]

I kind of feel like we'll double dip in round 5 with a size-based 1T......

I'm not saying I don't wish we had a 340 lb guy but if you educated yourself, Beane couldn't have been more clear that's not what they want.

 

If you're surprised it's on you.  If you just disagree, I get it.

I’m not surprised, he’s been burning premium picks on bad d line selections for years. He just can’t get out of his own way.

Love that the "experts" on here hate the pick 

Oh it’s great it’s comedy gold watching the meltdowns

People whining about the defensive scheme…are you sure it’s not that the players (Phillips, Jones) are just mediocre? 

 

Beane, and I assume McD, say enough with that nonsense, the spinning of the wheel.

 

Time to build a championship defense, on the cheap too.

 

And give Josh Allen a defense that can stop the best of the best.

 

More to do, and I hope it comes soon, spending the play money that are the draft picks on more d  lineman and cornerbacks.  Then we can have a nice farewell for some of the 'done' guys..

 

 

[Doc]

Not understanding the hand wringing over the 2-2nds.  They moved up 15 spots on the front end and down 10 spots on the back end.

oh yeah???  Well, Kiper’s “big board” sucks!

You don’t like Shaduer Sanders at #1?

[Dablitzkrieg]

I honestly don't know if this is a good pick or not.  I never trust anything on this board, so I'm assuming he's going to the HoF

[KOKBILLS]

Interesting...

 

Sanders is a player on the rise for sure. I'm down here so I've heard a lot about him for a while. 

 

He'll be 22 in July... He's definitely a player on the rise. 9.38 RAS... He's a handful.

 

I can't see how this is a good thing for DeWayne Carter because I would imagine Sanders is immediately in the rotation behind Ed, and they'll play together a lot on 3rd down. I do think Sanders is a huge upgrade in that role. Sanders did play a lot off the center in college, and he was really effective in there. But I'm not sure about that in the NFL...

 

I think the Bills still need another DT to back-up Jones. 

 

But I like Sanders, and I don't mind this pick...I especially like what he'll bring on 3rd down next to Ed. He's no-joke.

I hate winning these division titles and having a shot at the Super Bowl. Blow it up!!!!

 

the amount of skepticism and dire attitude really shouldn't surprise me but it does.

 

I don't think we all need to always agree but calling Bust on draft day is IMO weak smack

 

NOT YOU if I wasn't clear. I read your post rightly as sarcasm,

Agreed.  Most of the 1Ts in this draft were around 310.   I think he’ll be fine.
