I suspect the Bills had Coleman and Leggette rated about the same. I suspect that was close to how most evaluators had them rated, it happens. Coleman is slow, Leggette is a one hit wonder. So what do you do in that case? Pass on extra picks to look "fearless"? Not following your criticism there.

The funny thing about your other comments is Beane is constantly being criticized for doing exactly what you say he didn't do this year. He's always picking the uber athletes instead of higher production/character guys. Sounds like he can't win.

My criticism was calling him fearless for trading back, but you didn't want to hear that.

And which Uber athletes from past drafts was I highly critical of?

Not really. The odds of a 3rd rounder becoming a quality NFL starter are about 16%. If you get a guy taking 40% of the snaps and doing a good job with them that's above average. I doubt Carter will be a total bust, probably a fairly useful player at a position we needed depth.

What are the odds of a 3rd rounder sticking if he has starting potential vs a 3rd rounder who has only backup potential??

Don't know. Don't care.

I don't think he was fearless for trading back. Just doing what was right for the team under the circumstances.

I wasn't referring to you specifically criticizing the uber athletes drafted but he certainly has been by a number of posters here, you know that. My point is no matter what he does some will be unhappy.

I didn't say I was unhappy he traded back. Nor can you come up with past Uber athletic picks I was unhappy with for being Uber athletic.

Good job!

I am somebody that criticizes Beane for leaning toward 'freak' attributes and/or measurables, but I will admit a couple of his picks this year were more from the "just plays ball" mold. Looking forward to seeing how they pan out. And it still wasn't smart to double-up on OTs, I don't care if the kid from England is "only" a seventh-rounder. I would have preferred another receiver if we were going to take more than one kick at a position.
