McDermott has a different strategy, needs a different kind of player in some instances. So while the players themselves may not seem equal in skill set. Coaches putting players in the right position/system to succeed can make the difference IMO.

good point lol, touche

ty for the link Moose

I agree, White is the kind of young player/ leader you want to build the team around. Drop out of the 1st and its less likely a player of his value to fill a team need is still available. Deep draft, I get that, but if you see a guy available that really goes well in the grand scheme of things to come, you get him.

The way I look at it, while from a points standpoint Buffao's 1st gained in the trade gets reduced to a 2nd, next year If and when a trade occurs Buffalo's extra 1st becomes a bargaining chip most teams can't compete with without Buffalo being forced to give up anything the following year/draft. If next years draft is more lucrative / better draft class per team needs the trade becomes even more beneficial in my humble opinion.

thanks for this post Very much appreciated

Houston... ...we have a problem... ...no O J Howard... ...another CB... ...no oxygen...

thanks, If next years draft turns out to be a better draft class to meet needs say for instance at the QB position, then the points lost could become a moot point, eh wilcoam

Maybe Buffalo will be pursuing the best Defensive player in the draft? Or maybe the Browns found a QB they like, but still end up picking 1st overall?

I think he's telling us we grow CB's well

You have to figure in a really sweet trade on this pick.

I liked the trade and the pick makes sense IMO. We need a CB, extra pick now in the 3rd, an extra 1st in next years draft (which could open up the door to something special). crazy 1st round... ...enjoyed it...

McDermott needs solid play out of the CB position, I like this pick, nice trade

Foster would be nice

nice work

trade

O J Howard...O J Howard...O J Howard...

I almost made the mistake of commenting before reading.

absolutely, in my humble opinion.

I don't think scouts or GM's are trying to create a racial divide when it comes to race as it relates to skill set. It is what it is...

Denver won a championship with good D, best in the league. BB D doesn't get the credit it deserves with Tom Brady. Picking two isolated cases/games the TE play wasn't a big factor in the outcome is reaching don't you think? We're not just talking about the best teams in football. TE security blanket is important to the success of a QB in my humble opinion. K-Gun never happens without good play from the TE position. and yes, guilty as charged...

TE play not in any way related to the success of a QB? Do you think its by coincidence BB has the best TE in the league?. lol, Buffalo must agree with you though bandit

If you want success at the QB position draft an elite TE. Good grief, its not rocket science bandit, so why can't Buffalo do a better job helping our QB's

Good points NoSaint, I never really thought about it that way. On the other hand If I had J K for an uncle and wanted to pursue a career in pro football, Let me start over, if I had J K as a uncle the time spent with him would really be important to me. Playing for the Bills makes it easier for both of them in my humble opinion. and brings a very interesting QB prospect to Buffalo... ...I'm a Billiever...

Not looking bad then for a shot at O J, thanks OP
