  • Beane is evolving!!!! We NEEDED depth with all these cuts last month and no money -31m cap hit on Diggs this year, 40m plus to Josh...We probably have 20 starting caliber players. got decimated on Defense last year due to injuries. This is how you build depth to sustain runs in the NFL. Not to sound condescending but I'm so proud of Beane. I didn't think he had it in him to wait. DeJean or Mitchell may be BPA that also fills a starting hole. Take whomever you want BBB!!

    Brandon Beane is so articulate and well thought out in his responses. I love him as our GM!!! He cracks me up too…”Vegas lost” 😂😂😂

    Beane wanted Brian Thomas JR at 22nd pick and wasn’t willing to give a 2nd to Philly. Time to move back.
  • @ryanbach6726
    I hope we use some of those 5ths to get a 3rd 2nd rounder. We could get Cooper DeJean, Powers-Johnson, and maybe even Mitchell. That would cover our holes pretty good
  • @moose_tracks41
    The pick swaps involved in those trades gave better placement in the middle rounds than the Bills had beforehand. This is a brilliant move because the Bills have a lot of pieces needing youth and friendly contracts.
  • “We are always looking for speed.” - Brandon Beane Gives the Chiefs the fastest WR in history
  • moved back just 5 spots to turn a 4 into a 3 and a 6 into a 5 while still having mconkey, mitchell, and dejean still on the board at their pick at 33. Great move! 28 to 33 isnt a huge deal at all

    Looking forward to seeing what we do tonight and tomorrow.

    Chiefs fan here, I think Beane did a great job . He knew Worthy would have fallen to the Chiefs anyway . So he did right by getting more picks to fill holes. So it was not a bad decision. Good Luck Mafia!!!
  • We, as Bills fans, can be mad. Asking ourselves, "What the heck is he thinking?🤔 At the end of the day. Mr. B is the one with the plan. He is the one who gets paid to make those hard decisions that involve 💰, positioning, carater evaluation, among other factors, and I believe we have to be patient, which is hard to sometimes 😉. Go Bills 👏 🤘 💪

    I hate not taking legette but I think beane knows what he is doing
  • @coyvlogs5276
    The jags picked our wide now it’s time to get value I love what we did now get cooper at 33 or even move back again and get more this is a deep draft we have 3 good picks all will be starters on this roster
  • @straka125
    Traded up 126 spots to trade back 5 spots AND still get AD Mitchell, who we didn’t think would fall to 28 in the 1st place
  • @Donnybrook10
    Ignore the shade from some of the mafia. They know not what they do. I remember when they complained about the Josh Allen pick.
  • @jasoncrandall73
    Xavier Worthy is only 165lbs. He needs to add about 15 more pounds. Santana was the only WR to get 1000yds who ran the fastest combine time. T. Hill is more stocky than Worthy & he was a 5th round draft pick.
