That at is actually a little false
how many high 1st or 2nd round picks they have signed to second contracts and not see them walk or traded them away or forced to retire dye to injury?
.
a big issue is head coach stability and stick to a defense system.
New England, San Diego, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Giants, Washington need a QB of the future
Miami, Denver, Minnesota, Detroit, Cincinnati, Indianapolis could be included based on this season
Depends on draft talent.
trading down from 1-3 will cost teams additional 1sts on top of the pick you would flip with.
team needs in 2019 are...OL , RB, WR, OLB/DE CB, Some of these can be addressed in free agency with buffalo having I think the 2nd most available capspace.
Shady is a trade chip.
if peterman starts at q.v. and buffali is competitive then he likely gets trade value of a puck higher than where drafted.
Clay also is a trade chip
If he fsucceeds it makes national media lose credibility if they said he sucks
i think bills gave up to much to trade up for him. If he doesn’t succeed it’s a big black mark on beane
My rule use of thumb.....
3 QB
4 RB/FB
6 WR
3 TE
8 OL
24 offense
8 DL
6 LB
9 DB
23 on defense
K, P, LS
3 special teamers
50 roster spits
the 3 extra would fill in fir short term injured players or young rookie picks, ir other raw talent you fear won’t get to PS
if AJ injury is a 6 week injury then buffalo likely has a 4th QB on the roster
The other 2 spots
1 on offense between RB, TE, WRm and IL
1 on defense would be between a LB and DB
I aleays felt columnists...especial sports columnists are supposed to stir the pot and cause controversy and create click bait.
as far as newspapers in thus day...
eith the internet niw now you don’t have to rely on the newspapers to hear the news. On top that people don’t understand that people are paid to write.p rpthus fees cgarged.
with something like newspapers you don’t need to pay high salary for beat reporters.
in BN they skew older where many are 15 or more years vets.
i see newspapers becoming in ways like sports teams where only a few get hugh salary and stay around while 80% if the team us churned every 4 or so years.
Rosen is the only one I'd trade up for, but he's not worth the price to get yo #1.
I don't have a problem to move from 21 to 13-15 abd then trading 22 down to make up some of who was given up.
You regularly get starters from 1st-3rd round.
I have said this before...they trade 2nd 1st down and pick up another 2nd/3rd round pick that is 6 players, sthey pick a qb with one who competes for a job, then with other 5 picks they get 4 starters by mid season.
With teams only have at most 4 years of team control uou don't sit on high picks.
