Matt Rhule is now 8/8 on taking defensive players in the draft. No wonder we were trying to hire him.
Yes, I was one who didn't agree with trading up when you suggested it, (although I don't think I said you were crazy). But I'm happy to be wrong in this instance.
Drafting an Edge would be fantastic. Saleh's entire 4-3 defense demands to the Front Four get to the QB every snap. Think the NY Sack Exchange, Thing how the Gmen front 4 beat NE twice, and how the Bucs front four just curb stomped Patrick Mahomes. This is Saleh's vision for our new team. Curb stomp the enemy with just your front 4. Having extreme talent on his front line drives the engine for everything else his defense does. Its far more important than any defense ran here over the last 10-15 years. And just behind edge, is DB. We really need them both this draft. Far more than any other position.
Boy if Ravens get Jenkins, they have just made the offense even better. Going to be another solid draft for Ozzie. Who will Bills take?
No, you didn't say I was crazy but nobody was into being as aggressive as I was with that 23rd pick and going up and getting the guy we want. We had picks next year to trade, so why not. The worst is when you're sitting there at 23 waiting for players you like to fall and then watching them fall of the board. Sort of like the CBs who went before Dallas. But Dallas still lucked out and got a great player & picks.
