Last year's draft was incredibly successful, and Beane had nothing to do with it. you truly have to wonder if McD was calling the shots. I know everyone wants to say 'yeah he was', but I just want it confirmed. Then Beane came in and made some trades. I was stunned at first, mad even. But that worked out. They're smart guys and they got rid of some boat anchors. They managed to free up like 60 million for 2019.

I would say the fact that Whaley knew he was getting fired right after the draft tells me that Beane was the one calling the shots

Did you notice that the Bills jumped Carolina several times to get the guys they wanted? You (frank)ing know Beane was like.. yo.. we want this guy, you gotta jump us to grab him. There was total collusion!

I love speed so I'm usually the one that goes 90 and you say I hope that jackass gets a ticket
- gerbe75pts



I got two tickets on the 15 for 137 in a 70. So no, i don't say that.

McDermott was probably in those draft discussions prior to him being hired by the Bills.

They had the opportunity to draft the best QB in college and passed. Now they are scrambling to move up and get one.

I can agree to a certain extent. But he was never around for the big board and all. But you'd think he would know who they like more than others.

Didn't it come out that McD is the one that did the draft? I cannot remember but i thought that was the case.

They traded down to be a part of this qb class, not last years. Clearly a plan is in place and there's no "scrambling". However, in hindsight, I'd wish they drafted Watson.

He was at the draft for the Bills, and they surely didn't let Doug Whaley pick. It was probably him in conjuncture with the scouts and maybe they let Whaley give input after the 4th round

That was a very risky move. And now if they don't get one it will be a major fail.

Erod Casey Reinhart

I like that line

- Stripes77


No..not Reinhart. He was invisible the first half of the season. He is trying to up his stats because he is in a contract year, period.

Trubisky was taken
Mahomes
Watson

So my guess is they weren't sold on Mahomes and they didn't want their offense built on a QB with legs, they wanted a pure pocket passer so that's why they didn't want Watson.

So I mean looking at what they have now, the picks and the trades they made to clear up cap space, they knew this roster didn't just need a QB, it needs a lot of key players.

"Meddling" Roger Goodell keeps trying to slander the Bills Draft. There was no Collusion. Total Witch hunt! They should be looking into Crooked Kraft!

Shows understanding of the game and our current situation. My praise for Beane et al comes from those trades panning out coupled with a great draft. We needed both and they got it done down on 1 Bills Dr for once.

If they come out of this draft with one of the top guys, I wont care. But they will look incredibly foolish if Mahomes and Watson are franchise players and they miss on the top guys this year.
