Draft, develop, re-sign
Beane has long emphasized the importance of developing draft picks and retaining them with contract extensions. What was once an on-paper philosophy is now coming to fruition with the long-term extensions awarded to corner Tre'Davious White and left tackle Dion Dawkins.
The ability to hit on those draft picks speaks to the talented and hardworking staff Beane has surrounded himself with in terms of both scouting and development. But it's also a testament to the value of character emphasized both by Beane and McDermott.
Look no further than White and Dawkins for examples of players who have embraced Buffalo, winning over fans not only with their play but with their affable personalities, as well. Count Allen in that group, too – which, Beane explained, is no accident.
"That's important about the quarterback position," Beane said. "You go back to that and whether you agreed with Josh being selected or how these guys got drafted, the order of them, whatever, a lot of people look at stats. They look at highlights. They look at some throws in this game. They look at was he in the Heisman race? All the things, the media hype.
"But the thing you have to do with the quarterback, you have to get to know these guys. And you have to do your research. And you've got to talk to teammates. You've got to talk to obviously coaches. You've got to talk to people in the school.
"How does this person treat an intern? How does this person treat a classmate? How does this person treat the lowest guy? You know they're going to treat their head coach well. But how do they treat a position coach?"
When the Bills brought Allen in for a visit, Beane paid attention to how the quarterback treated everyone from the person who picked him up at the airport to the employees in the cafeteria.
"Anybody can put on a façade," he said. "And I think what we saw, Josh passed every test with flying colors."
