Still a handful of quality 1-Techs on the board and a lot of draft left.

 

Those guys are always available later 👍

With 97% of the experts on the board questioning this pick, I know it’s a good one. 
 

Thx, fellas. 
 

 

Everyone hated the Allen, Torrence, Bernard, Williams etc picks, so the vitriol over people calling for McBeane to be fired all but assures this kid will be a hall of famer.

They should.  We were 25th against the run and got man handled at the LOS last year.  

There are several large 1Ts available. Anybody surprised by this did not here Beanes "2 or 2.5 down buckets" yesterday

Sure he does, hence we haven’t made any progress of dismantling the chiefs in 3 plus years 

 

sure man, Josh Allen Carries their ass so hard 

 Complete trash take

Riiiggghhhht stopping the run is what really matters and is keeping the Bills out of the superbowl year after year. C’mon be better.

 

The Chiefs averaged 4.6 yards per carry in 2024 and had about 30 yards more than their total average in 2025.  So, literally yes.   

[Don Otreply]

So what specifically was the trade up cost? 

[Success]

I see a lot of praise for his intelligence & leadership.

 

Definitely a pattern for this regime - which I don't mind.

Thank you for letting me know you're somebody who measures DT's by sack numbers.

I'm out.

sack numbers against Mahomes in the playoffs is all that matters at this point. Oh wait you're "out"

[BuffaloBillies]

297 is 3 away from 300. If he was listed as 300 would posters still say "undersized"? He can gain 3 at lunch tomorrow. They can get him 10-20 lbs heavier if they want. It's all good

Love that the "experts" on here hates the pick 

 

I know nothing and appreciate both the positive and negative takes. Tougher to read the negatives but when you consider that the experts that actually get paid to make the choices are often wrong  it's easier to take the negative and positive with the same grain of salt.

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. 

 

D line or DT's?

 

I'm trying to follow your saying.

1 of those players is a HoFer lol. The others are the worst player on the OL, and the backup WLB.

He's already listed over 300 by some draft pros

Umm … I‘ll just leave you to it if you believe that was a factor

[Alphadawg7]

Amazing - this kid has been a Bill for all of 10 minutes and already has a false fan myth - "He is too small"

 

I don't know who needs to hear this (although it seems to be most of you) - but he is not undersized or small...not to mention he just said he is comfortable playing at 310 without losing any of his explosiveness.  

 

That is neither undersized or small.

CJ West please

Lmao dude, you're gonna be waiting until his retirement. He's good for 11-13 wins a year, and as much as this is going to sound ludicrous, the moment he gets that first Lombardi it guarantees his legacy. 

 

He's a good coach whether we agree with that statement or not. He's disciplined and runs a good ship. The locker room is more jelly than Welches. He literally used the 9/11 hijackers, some of the most infamous people to walk our soil, as a good example of teamwork making the dream work. 

 

His job is more secure than Ft Knox. 

Haha if he gets a Lombardi everyone will forget we could've had as many as the Chiefs by now if it weren't for him.

Traded up for a sub 300 pound DT. I absolutely despise beane and can’t wait for this regime to be over with. Excited we had 2 2nd rounders and we just lit them on fire. 

 

Sounds like you went into the draft with an open mind on Beane,  as your post comes across as very objective, but then he happened to  deeply disappoint you with THIS move.

 

So now you loathe him.

 

Based on one draft pick.

 

Don't worry, I think you will get over this soon and start to feel the good will again you have always felt for Beane and 'this regime'.

That’s encouraging but I wonder how the Bills see him.

[Warriorspikes51]

Let’s just say he’s 6’4  310 

 

because why not.  Close enough

 

he could make an immediate impact on 3rd downs
