[An Idea for a potential Bills draft trade down with Atlanta!]

Of course, just because you DRAFT a guy in the first round doesn't mean that he will be worthy of that pick, especially at 25 or higher.  The value has to be there or you whole premise is faulty from the jump.

 

I have just checked rosters from last league year for the entire AFC and 1 of the 4 divisions in the NFC so far, and I have only found 14 number 1 picks.  So I'm not at all sure that I'll even find the 27 first round picks which represent the top 32 corners.  And of those 14, there are at least 2 or 3 that are so-so journeymen like Eli Apple who is on his fourth team and now possibly his fifth.

You are right.   1st round picks are NOT slam dunks to be good NFL players.   

Thus trading a 1st round pick for Stefon Diggs was a good value proposition.

I love how all these draft day trades always include "and Zack Moss", like it's the cherry on top.

The Bills have a strong roster, yes?  They need players who can crack the roster, not be camp fodder. Trade up? For the right guy absolutely. Trade down for more/lower picks? Does not compute.

Could a 4th round pick (Gab Davis) make the roster?
Or a 4th round pick like Taron Johnson?

Sure, 4th rounders tend to be should performers.

 

Honestly, an extra 4th round WR selection could easily push Marquez Stevenson or Isaiah Hodgins off the roster.  Which would improve the roster.  

[Tank for Sam Darnold SC QB , 2nd coming of Brady]

If you could get a brand new head coach to buy in to a tank, that would be amazing.

 

The reality is Sean McDermott is going to fight for every win he can get.

 

Now, if you are asking if "we" the fans should get a say, then I could see a tank in 2017. But let's make sure we do it right. Ending up picking 5th or 6th will be close, but not close enough.
