I would take a stab at Franklin. Maybe Walker out of UNC. Raw but has good RAS score.

TE Sanders out of Texas. Let him sit a year and be TE2 next year when Knox is gone.

Kamara

Another corner.

Big RB. Developmental corner and separation wr. Rotational edge, rotational LB, rotational S.

Carter was a great pickup.

Right. People lose their (frank)ing minds on one side of the spectrum or the other. You can't do that.

You. Don't. Know.

nope

focus on team needs and hope you hit

I do think he has done well so far in the draft though as they got 3 spots filled when we thought 2 days ago it would be 2 spots and the extra 5ths give him decent lottery tickets for today

I bet on the history of this staff, not on what the picks look like today. like I said they've got a great hit rate in comparison to the league in the mid rounds. To me, they have the benefit of the doubt.

Beyond that, you can look at the fits, the intangibles and how these guys might develop.

I love the Keon Coleman pick. First blink you think Gabe Davis, but this kid is way more.

Could take a dude at end of draft. Allen if he's still there. Bigger dude

the more research I was doing made it clear it was coleman or ladd

trading down thursday , twice, made that pretty obvious

Yep, he is almost better at his job at this point of the draft. Hopefully he grabs a couple more gems

I agree. My only knock from moving from 32 to 33 is the missing out on the 5th year option

If Coleman goes off. Resigned WRs are becoming expensive

If you're 50% hitting on picks in the 4th and 5th rounds, that's not a mixed bag. That's killing it.

they let teller go, did not see his talent

shakir IMO was their best 5th round pick and a lot of blah with beane

the fact they traded the pick to carolina showed that legette was plan C or D

Bills have enough to move up.


Also some of the holes. June 1st cuts. We could see a few more free agent signings

Beane admitted learning a very large lesson about that. I know this instance is one of your favorite callbacks, but sometimes GMs (frank) up.
