    I still can’t get over all the wasted DE picks. Epinesa and Basham have not lived up to their draft status and are teetering on busy. Rousseau hasn’t shown he can be “the guy” since he pretty much fell off after Von went down. They’re still young but I would have liked to see more from them.

    Buffalo has had some bad luck with, what were lockdown corners in their history, losing them to injury I mean.

    I think of Robert James tearing a knee in his prime.

    Derrick Burroughs hurting his neck in his prime.

    Marlon Kerner tearing his knee.

    Now Tre White.

    I'm sure there have been others.

    Passing on Creed Humphrey for Basham was maddening at the time. Now I hate it more.

    Before that was the trade down that gave KC Patrick Mahomes.

    And then we got to watch two KC 7th rounders, Watson and Pacheco, become playoff impact players.

    Are they that lucky or are they just that smart?

    Everything they do seems to work while we spin our wheels and hope Josh Allen can make it happen.

    Harrumph.

    But put a shine on some okay picks and talk about the bright bright future.

    The Reid system drafts on the fit ...... speed means a lot with him.

    He know's how to exploit skills and take advantage.

    They scout based on that qualifier.

    Reid's use of a player like Edmunds would be different than how we use him.

    Exactly. Speed kills and we need more of it.

    A great O-Line wouldn't hurt either.
