Grading Brandon Beane: Mastermind or Misstep in building the Bills’ 2024 roster around Josh Allen?

Can the Buffalo Bills' 2024 roster, crafted by General Manager Brandon Bean, lead them to a Super Bowl victory? With the team navigating a challenging $50 million salary cap deficit, every decision is under scrutiny.
Host Joe Marino evaluates key roster moves, including trading away Stefon Diggs, letting Gabe Davis walk in free agency and the strategic extensions of Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown. The episode also examines the impact of free agent signings like Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins, alongside a critical review of the 2024 NFL Draft picks, featuring Keon Coleman and Cole Bishop. Marino's analysis highlights the Bills' in-season trades, such as acquiring Amari Cooper, and assesses Bean's overall strategy in building a competitive team.
Tune in to discover whether the Buffalo Bills have the right mix of talent and strategy to achieve their Super Bowl aspirations.

Kincade and Bishop having an offseason to heal, grow, and compete with one another, will be great for both of them

[@Currnation22]

I mean, they're a Kincaid grab away from possibly going to the Superbowl with the current roster, so to me it seems obvious we were good enough.

[@danielfishback6348]

Exactly!! This isn’t Madden where every first round draft pick pans out… too many people complaining about being one of the best teams in the league again!

[@pran1111]

They were one Xavier worthy away from superbowl. They had him and let him slip away..

[@BillsMafiaExperience]

​​​​@@pran1111don't exaggerate Worthy. It wasn't a catch, he had help. Obviously. We need a game wrecker on D who can STOP Mahomes cold on his drives and for god-damned ONCE hold the Chiefs to less than 20 points. Our D is averaging like 30 points per game allowed in the 4 Chiefs playoff games. Go get Garrett! That's how we win. Bold moves, the right ones. #BillsMafia4Life

[@davidmccullough3762]

Yep this whole Worthy thing is funny. He’s a fine player but we had Shakir and Samuel. If Worthy is getting a lot of slot snaps then where is he playing here? Sure he’s a speedster but whenever I watched the Chiefs he was running a lot of the same type of packages and role as Curtis. I don’t think we were ever drafting him nor should we. They were looking for someone to develop outside and be a big physical target. If anything they would have drafted Ladd imo if they were willing to go for a smaller guy who lined up inside a lot. Before the injuries Coleman and Carter for Worthy didn’t look like s bad deal. Give it time, I have feeling that one will be just fine when they all come up for contracts

[@SteveLewczyk]

B - Great job managing the salary cap. Getting rid of Diggs and not signing Davis huge kudos. Trading 28 for more draft capital a win. Drafting Coleman a massive question mark in my book. Love Ray Davis pick. Jury out on Cole Bishop. Carter another high character, not tough enough in the trenches Dlineman.

[@NYMets1969-u5]

Joe.Thanks for bringing the objective content.

[@LockedOnBills]

Thank you!

[@aabarber9]

Joe did a great job debunking the "Salary Cap isnt real" arguement, it's the story of the season.

[@ronwest217]

Was Dan Fetes paying attention?

[@DeepThinker-gc8nz]

A+ Made the Bills Cap healthy, and had more success than the year prior. Unrealistic expectations should not dilute the exceptional job Beane did this year.

[@Currnation22]

Healthier, but still near the worst in the league.

[@DeepThinker-gc8nz]

@ It’s a fluid thing Bills already have peices in place they needed some room to extend a few. There will be space to make some additions and leverage the cap again for a big name free agent, hopefully on the D-line. I imagine this will be the strategy for the next five years until they needed to cut a bunch again.

[@bellarose6218]

Beane should have worked on the defense last season. That "D" has been horrific 😢

[@kevinwalter2242]

I’m more concerned with them getting a pass rusher. Seems like they never had a good one in Allen’s 7 years

[@BillsMafiaExperience]

They haven't. Last year they had what's his face he was good early and tailed off late. Injury or exhaustion.

[@todddambrosio2819]

Great show Joe! Honestly I thought it was a very successful season with what we had to work with. Mac Hollins was a smash hit. I hope he’s back. We just need a monster on the line and a true CB next to Benford. Hendrickson I think would be perfect.

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

Coleman a starter … he seems like what elam is on Defense .. he started because of anticipation …. Don’t think he really earned anything Can’t separate , misjudges passes … drops balls… no moves … very disappointed particularly what worthy is doing with KC …

[@kevinwalter2242]

Ya seems he passes on talent for being a good person lol

[@BillsMafiaExperience]

Worthy is not great and we will see what they're worth next year and in 2-3 more years. Can't judge players much after just 1 year. Coleman was inured by idiot Jordan Poyer needlessly on last couple plays of that futile game. Total dick move on Poyer's part. That hurt Coleman a lot. Just for context. Worthy didn't make the catch in the AFCCG it was an interception or an incomplete pass.

[@dutchflats]

Brandon Beane seems to find some valuable players in later rounds of the draft, but apart from Josh, continuously misses in the early rounds? Why might that be?

[@brookslarry730]

It looks like our DT Coach is failing these guys that we bring in. Ford and Settle are busts here but go on to have great years elsewhere. Our DT's were pretty invisible for most of this year as well. Hmmm!

[@TimSettle-d4y]

Fact 💯💯💯💯

[@ericaures4734]

Yeah! Glad I’m not alone. If we had a guy like Aaron Kromer coaching the DL, it would be a lot better.

[@erivej]

For a letter grade, I'd give him a B. Got through the cap troubles, navigated through key injuries and ended up winning 2 more regular season games and getting to the AFC title game. Not to mention putting them in a good spot cap and roster wise this year.

[@cannafarmer]

a B level GM grade will NEVER beat the chiefs

[@erivej]

@cannafarmer I'm saying a B grade for this season. He's still one of the best GMs in football.

[@pran1111]

You didn’t mention the Worthy trade! Beane single-handedly cost his team a Super Bowl appearance with that one move-his biggest failure to date. In a single trade, he took a star wide receiver away from Josh Allen and gifted Patrick Mahomes the one thing the Chiefs were missing after the Tyreek Hill departure: a blazing-fast receiver. The result? Worthy torched the Bills' defense for nearly 100 yards and a touchdown in the AFC Championship. Buffalo lost by just three points. Take Worthy out of the equation, and the Bills likely win by multiple touchdowns. This wasn’t just a bad trade-it was a history-altering, dynasty-defining mistake that enabled a potential Chiefs three-peat. The worst trade in NFL history since the Mahomes deal.

[@poppilovice6827]

Interesting point, and Buffalo needs to get a receiver who can get down field

[@chrisjahnke2439]

Love this Pod Joe!

[@davidmccullough3762]

Beanes drafts rarely come out hot out the gate. I think this one will age well like some other recent drafts. He’s drafting late every round, not impossible to find instant impact guys but certainly harder. I was down on Carter too but keep in mind he made 3-4 MONSTER plays in those Titans and Jets games that altered the game in key moments. Then he got hurt. I still like him to become a good number 3 d tackle. Keon will be fine , the only issue there is he needs to be able to move around some and there isn’t many slot snaps for him. He has big YAC potential and getting him some underneath stuff and screens would unlock his game more. Davis is self explanatory. Bishop looked solid in the Chiefs game, so that gave me hope. I’m very high on Solomon as a pass rushing specialist and thought he needed more looks there late. Good pick imo. Both o linemen look like they have potential. I think this draft looks much better in two years.

[@TyButts-b3z]

Well Joe i tried to tag you but not sure how on KZbin but I’m glad you brought up Mack and his influence outside of just production bc that was a question I’ve been meaning to ask you,bc I want us to resign him as much or maybe even more than almost anyone else( within reason obviously lol) but I think his overall impact far exceeds just his on field production, he does all the little things and seems to be the ultimate team player even on small things like how he celebrates with teammates when they get a first down n just good overall energy,and that kinda stuff Is contagious and I think he genuinely makes a team and team chemistry better and to me I think that makes up for some of his other deficiencies in WR talent but all my life I’ve heard about teams having” glue guys” and I think that the exact definition of him and would be bummed to see him anywhere else( although I do know that’s a possibility), and my other question i have is who would you consider to be an ideal backup QB to JA17?? And like you said hopefully it won’t matter but just curious who you would feel comfortable with realistically in that role??? Thanks for all the great content!!

[@brookslarry730]

Great analysis Joe!!

[@brianbaulsir6955]

Good stuff Joe! Go Bills

[@billsrelectric]

I am very pleased with the 2024 results. I thought we would finish the season 11-6 or so. Anyone not pleased with the season and or roster doesn't understand the CAP is a real thing and while Beane would have loved to have signed Derrick Henry in Free Agency, BB had no money available. Beane would have liked to have kept Leonard Floyd, but again he had no money. He pretty much moved all the bananas around that he could.

[@ryantongen]

Love me some Joe Marino

[@user-kv9hr3ps1g]

I have a solution to the KC problem! Hire Steve Spagnuolo to be the Co-Head Coach! Pay him what Sean McDermott makes, approx 8 million / year. Sean would still be in charge of whatever aspects he wanted and give Spags the parts he doesn’t like (maybe press conferences). While it would be a Co-Coach, Sean still has final say if there is a disagreement. Spags should call the defensive plays and may or may not also be the defensive coordinator (depending on what they want to do with Bobby Babbich) WHY Spags would do it? -He has PUBLICLY said he wants to be a head coach again! -Head coach MONEY is WAY more than DC money! (Almost double what he is reported to be making) -Has a HORRIBLE reputation and record as a head coach and this ALMOST certainly would fix that as he is mostly guaranteed to make the playoffs first year AND could be remembered as the guy “that came in is as head coach and then the Bills won the Super Bowl.” Why Sean would do it? -Drain the Chiefs of their Defensive Coordinator -Get to collaborate with one of the best -Hand off some responsibility (especially his least favorite parts) to a competent partner Why Terry Pegula should do it? -Drain the Chiefs of their Defensive Coordinator (The Chiefs should get remarkably worse on defense for at least one transition year but possibly FOREVER! And the Bills defensive play calling should see a big upgrade.) -8 Million for additional salary for another head coach is A LOT cheaper than ELITE defensive talent and more guaranteed toward results and no worry about injury. PLUS 8 million for additional brain talent is FAR better use of money than paying 30 MILLION for a guy NOT to be on your team (Diggs) AND you don’t have to worry about injuries.

[@amydarley3822]

Don’t envy Beane and the heavy load he carries piecing together a SB-contending roster. Every player is a gamble and all you can do is role the dice with the information at hand. I’m already excited for the upcoming season! 😊

[@dannymorrisWNY]

This. Predicting performance and value is essentially impossible. There really is a lot of randomness. Beane has this team contending, now it’s up to players and coaches to get over the hump.

[@markrbrown8463]

My concern is the scouting department. Too many misses in first two rounds and trading up to draft inferior player: Elam over McCreary, Kincaid over LaPorta. Then Ford and Basham in second rounds

[@matthewmolina3326]

Beans gets a C+. Outside of 2018 and 2022 draft he hasn’t been great. Has hit on a few starters but not a single all-pro level player outside of Allen and Taron. Free agency he hasn’t been great either. Diggs was a good deal but idk who else he has brought that has been a big hit. Several decent players but no all-pros. Contracts paying Miller, Knox, Oliver all bad moves. Idk why everyone loves him. He hasn’t done much since drafting Allen. (Outside of 2022 being a good draft but the Elam move is awful)

[@LanceBaker-b6f]

What will Beane do this draft to help KC improve for next season?

Is the D-line coach an issue, given the performance of Puna Ford & Tim Settle elsewhere?

[@LockedOnBills]

Year 1 of Marcus West as the DL coach. I think Settle benefitted from better DL talent around him in Houston. Poona is a better fit for a 3-4 defense like the Chargers. I think it's fair to have questions about the DL development though.

[@ericaures4734]

Apparently Marcus West is a rising talent as our DL coach, IDK. Hope it’s true but expected more from them. I had hoped the team would improve upon Smiley as our Special Teams coach. Hope they’re both a lot better going forward. Trey Hendrickson and Milton Williams may be good DL signings. The 2025 draft is loaded with DL players and hopefully they use at least two picks from rounds 2 & 3 on DL..maybe all three. CBs Tre White and Jeff Okudah may be good signings. Rasul didn’t play well until he went to the Packers, thus Jeff may hit his potential elsewhere. Tre will be recovered for another year from his injuries and would likely take a prove it deal, plus he’d be back on a team he knows extremely well. Neither would be expensive.

[@pedrobarreto4335]

There are quite a few things that can be stated at the end of the Bills season.: 1- The Roster is not good enough. Going into the season the Bills had a roster outside the top 10 in the league (with this in mind what was achieved was very good - but expected to come short at some point). One could say that the coaching staff manage to do well with what was provided... in the end you need eggs to make omelettes!!! 2- The team has a big shortage of superstars/reliable play makers/reliable difference makers - that is reflected in the team statistics and the Pro Bowl selections. The team had players with outstanding games but not reliable enough to sustain those efforts across multiple games or to be impactful when it mattered!!! 3- Why do we see across other teams rookies being impactful on their first year and not with the Bills?? The Bills had 2 second round picks that had very little contributions!!!! 4- Let's look at rankings....10th in Total Offense rankings and 17th on Total Defense rankings!!!! How do you expect to win something specially with this defense!!!! The Bills could not stop the run!!! The pass rush was ineffective when needed!!! The WR's could not get separation!!!! 5- In the playoffs we won as expected when being favorites (against the Broncos even though some analysts earmarked the Bills for a possible upset due to the Broncos defense); won almost against all odds in the divisional round even though in the second half we could not stop the Ravens and were lucky in the end of the game; and then in the AFC final ..... all the shortcomings showed up on Defense ... on Offense ... on coaching staff (decisions on both O and D) ... and even the refs decided all 50/50 call against the Bills!!!!! 6- Even tough Josh did not have his best game in the AFC final .... he was the main difference maker and the reason the Bills got this far!!! In the true definition of the words MVP he should be it this year!!!!! Compare the OLine, WR and RB rooms of the Bills with the other front runners!!!!! In the end what can be done!!!! The are plenty of other teams that have better rosters and also much more loaded on studs/difference makers .... Are we really fooling ourselves that this Front Office and Coaching staff can turn this around???!!!!! After the draft and free agency I wrote that was not expecting much of this team !!!! I have very little trust that 1 more draft and free agency will turn things around .... unless they manage to hit on a potential future hall of fame stud that helps the margins on Bills behalf!!!

[@erivej]

@pedrobarreto4335 i don't see KCs RB, OL and WR rooms better than the Bills.

[@pedrobarreto4335]

@@erivej My comments were most on the overall team and the lack of impact players or difference makers when it really matters!!! Their OL was porous all season but only allowed 1 sack in the AFC final... Their RB group is not as good as ours (specially after their injuries) but made the plays when it mattered (see their last drive to close the game) and their WR room had better plays than our as well ... I still state that the roster is not good enough and has been loosing quality year on year ... with poor drafting and free agency overall... Josh and Cook have been saving our Offense stats with albeit an improved OLine (the only improvement from previous years) but the Defense has been getting worse since the 13 sec game .... with not a single key game wrecker.....

They did all this in a reset year with no cap space and still paying diggs.... Your points are all a good arguments for giving them another year, I don't understand how you come to the conclusion you do... Like you said they exceeded expectations!

@@donkeybus Also good arguments!!! The Bills are not in year 1 or 2 of Josh Allen's career... we are on his seventh year!!! The Team got bumped up with the investment on Diggs and the Defense was way better then .... but still fell short due to coaching mistakes... the last few years I feel the team has stagnated on offense and regressed badly on defense!!!
