I am looking to buy a horse farm in East Aurora and if Ed Oliver were traded away I could get a real cushy deal.
Buffalo drafted some much bigger defensive players, Ed is small 6'1" and has a fairly big contract. Branden Beane needs cap space for the next superstar wide receiver. You probably don't care about stupid wide receivers but I do.
Anyway....
I am hoping to get the horses too. 🐎
I am all on board on the next superstar wide receiver train however that recently drafted 7th rounder looks promising.......NOT.
I sure hope that now that we have drafted a 1DT -- yes he did NOT play 1DT at Kentucky but we will use him that way -- to slide next to Ed Oliver when he is ready, that Ed Oliver can be the backfield disrupter that he was in college.
So I hope Mr Beane finds that money elsewhere.
With respect to your horse need that requires filling, perhaps you can acquire a horse from this guy?

I'm surprised Brownie and Tasker were as polite to your idea.
You need to have more faith in humanity during this Lent season Bills Brethren.
I am sure like lawyers/attorneys that are buried at the bottom of the ocean, deep deep deep deep down those two are good people.
You have to remember that there are good peeps on both sides of the butthole dividing line.

Anything's a possibility but it all hinges on how the draft plays out and Beane's board.
You don't necessarily go into a draft saying, "We need four second-rounders," because you don't know who will be there and who will be gone when the Bills' first-round pick comes up.
It's a possibility later on, not a must-do right now.YES , of course.
Those are all draft day trades that are made only if Beane sees players drop into the 2nd round from he had 1st round grade on or are still available in the 2nd round within an accessible trade reach.
I am NOT suggesting Beane start accumulating draft picks before the the draft.
Just a plan for the happiest day of all happy days.
NO prep needed now.
No stockings need to be filed now.
No gifts need to be wrapped now.
Our "Christmas" is a very long way off...

Great Offensive Tackles can play late into their 30's. Jason Peters was starting at LT when he was damn near 40.
Dion Dawkins is under contract until 2028. Spencer Brown is under contract until 2029. Both are coming off perhaps the best seasons of their careers. They're playing at an incredibly high level.
It's an absolutely insane notion to look at the play of our Tackles last season and think we need a succession plan in place. You don't spend a pick on an OT that high to be a Backup for what is most likely the entirety of their Rookie contract.
You just like that BIG personality of Dion eh?
SHOWTIME!!!
So you point to an outlier anomaly of Jason Peters who played TE in college and we drafted and molded into a LT as the rule of thumb that OL play into their late 30's?
The truth is these are very big men with quick feet to be successful at the LT position in the NFL so as they gain age and weight playing excellent NFL football late into a career becomes difficult and often when the drop off in performance happens it is very rapid.
So rotating a 2d round drafted OT in 2025 is by no means insane.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
That would be drafting yet another CB in the 1st round.

Not your Draft. That was awful. Even without you spending a 2nd on an Undraftable Player who's been criminally charged with Sexual Assault with an affidavit released to the public that shows an open and shut case.
Why would we spend a 2nd on an OT with Dawkins and Brown locked up for years, still young, and each playing at a very high level?
You want to roll out Dane Jackson or a 5th Rounder (at best) as our starting CB opposite Benford?
Dion will be 31 years old in 2 weeks. NOT young.
Brown hasn't got the feet to ever be a NFL LT. It wasn't that long ago that there was some discussion of the Bills cutting bait on him until he had a good enough season to warrant a post-rookie contract.
The recent development on Bond is well recent => https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/more-details-emerge-regarding-allegation-against-isaiah-bond
I am not married to the pick and quite frankly my huge team of crack researchers were hitting the pipe hard that day.
A WR in the 2nd round with speed makes sense and NO a 6'5" slow as a giraffe WR is NOT needed given our draft and salary cap investment in our 2 TEs.
With respect to a CB, I am NOT adverse to drafting a CB although our history of drafting CBs too high or if they do work out, watching them leave always made me wonder who were these Bills fans who got excited when the Bills drafted yet another early round CB.
Thank you for the revelation.
I was hoping we would address our #2 CB starting position in Free Agency however perhaps the Bills see something in the CBs on the roster that you and I do NOT see.

Using this ==>. https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp
Our two 2nd round picks => 56th = 340 points and 62nd = 284 points
Our 1st round pick => 30th = 620 points
Our two 4th round picks => 109th = 76 points and 132nd = 40 points
Our three 6th round picks => 169th = 23.8 points and 170th = 23.4 points and 173rd = 22.2 points`
Total points available to attempt to trade for four 2nd round picks = 1,429.4 points
2nd round picks range from 580 points (33rd) to 270 points (270th)
Therefore we certainly have the resources to obtain four 2nd round picks assuming we find willing trade partners.

Should I do the work and actually attach names to a Bills 2025 Draft of four 2nd round picks and whatever is left late after the trades needed to obtain four 2nd round picks?
If you push me, I will do it.
I work well under pressure.

I would keep the 1st rounder and trade every 4th, 5th and 6th rounder to move back into the 3rd round at least.
Bills don't have good picks this year and not a single 3rd rounder.
4th, 5th and 6th rounders won't even make this roster
Wise
7 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said:That's why OP's idea of giving up like everything above Round 6 on Day 3 doesn't really track with me. 4th's and later don't often become stars. But you never know when you're going to land on a Khalil Shakir, Taron Johnson, Matt Milano, or Christian Benford. So you don't want to just say "F it - take a million of these picks".
We'll definitely move around the board as we don't need 10 picks. But we will be leaning on this Draft more than I expected. We didn't do as much as I expected in Free Agency and then the suspensions came in for Hoecht and Ogunjobi. So we won't need 10. But we're not in a position to just be like "take 4 players in the 2nd and call it a day".
That's why if I were to see something like what OP is suggesting - it would make more sense to trade down, pick up an 11th pick, and then move 2 or 3 in Rounds 4 and/or 5 to get back into the 3rd. Still maintaining picks in 4 and 5. You could move up in those Rounds too if there's guys he likes.
I am THE OP.

I don't see all *that* happening.
But I could see a scenario where they trade out of the 1st Round to the top of the 2nd, pick up another pick, have 3 picks in the 2nd Round - then move up from the 4th into the 3rd with extra picks. Having 3 2nd's and a 3rd, while still having quite a bit in Rounds 4-6.
Right!!
Get as many picks in this draft's sweet spot however some here think there is a chance of finding that diamond in the rough in the 5th or 6th rounds where I suspect unpolished turds is the reality in those rounds and you know what they say about polishing a turd.

He is still one of my all time favorite Bills, he was absolutely awesome when he was here. He is one big man, there is no denying that, in today’s league he probably would be called an EDGE and be primarily used as a DE or OLB in a 34. I could see him being an absolute menace if he was used like Parsons etc. I feel like he was actually quite underrated, his first 6 seasons he had over 100 tackles, injuries got to him, but he was an absolute monster.Yeah it seemed to be one injury after another.

I only came here because of your screen name...my wife literally met Takeo Spikes today in Vegas at NAB and sent me a picture with him. She said he is "huge"...and I was like, hold up, what kind of "work" meeting was this? LMAO All kidding aside, she said he was really nice and told him her husband was a die hard Bills fan. He said Bills fan base is best in all sports
So he is still built like a truck.
He had a relatively short career in Buffalo but he was so fun to watch.

I’m not sure id describe trading up for Kaiir Elam as a wizard move
Was evil witchcraft involved?
NO one is going to defend that move by Beane.
Nonetheless, every draft he seems to be able to trade around the board.

Cost control and cheap labor for 4 years! 🙃
Excellent idea!!!
None of those 20 5th round picks will make the team and will probably be a very miserable bunch given they will quickly know that.
You got room at your place to house 20 angry athletes for a few months?

The thing about trades like this is that all the other GMs in NFL have similar ideas on where the “value” is in this draft.
So really, why would any opposing GM do this?
The only reason is if they have a player they covet when we pick. And even then, do they covet them enough to take them in round 1 and basically miss out on day 2?
They are all trying to rob the same train.
Wisdom.
I have NO idea how Beane was able to make trades in previous drafts.
He seems to be able to do it each and every year despite all GMs having the same information and desires.
Are we so lucky as to have some sorta wizard as a GM?

1 hour ago, Virgil said:For a draft with very few first round talent grades, I would be fine with this.
However, I’m also fine with trading a 2nd and 1st to move up for a defensive game wrecker.
Those were my initial thoughts however I don't see one falling to where our 1st and one of our 2nd round picks gets us this defensive "game changer".
-
My reading for what it is worth is that the 2nd round is particularly deep with plenty of "value" this year.
We already pick twice in the 2nd round at #56 and #62.
Our 1st round pick at #30 is essence a high 2nd round pick.
What do you think if we trade our 1st round pick and our two 4th round picks (#109 and #132) plus our three 5th round picks (#169, #170 and #173) in a series of trades so we end up with four 2nd round picks?
That would still leave us with our two 6th round picks (#177 and #206) for flyers.
I just think this team's roster is currently too deep for a 4th or 5th round drafted player to make the line up unless he is a specialist of some sort.
On the other hand, we may NOT get four 2025 starters from four 2nd round picks but we very well may get 4 starters by 2026.
Four 2nd round picks could get the Bills a DT, a OL, a WR....whatever that would either start in 2025 or rotate in enough to become a starter in 2025.
