    I don't think you understand how odds work.

    If there were literal odds on how successful each draftable DT's career will be (maybe there are? Bovada.com maybe?) in the NFL, I would be willing to bet that Quinnen Williams has the best odds, from an actual, literal betting perspective. It's why he's going to be a top 5 pick. It's why he's considered possibly the best player in the class.

     

     

    He probably won’t be the best DT and even if he is won’t be that much better than the next best. 

     

    Also now there’s a rumor it’s for Oliver so lol

    Let me just say one thing: If the Bills DO trade up for Quinnen Williams and he winds up turning into a beast, like Aaron Donald 2.0 and launches the Bills defense into another stratosphere, we better keep receipts on all the people already pre-emptively calling to fire Beane in this thread. No Quinnen Williams jerseys for ANY of you chumps! :P

     

    It’s still a bad idea. There’s no way you know that’s the case.

     

    Odds are one of the other DTs has a better career.

     

    If not, knowing what we know now it’s a bad idea.

    Oh you’re implying that I’m actually not in a good mood. It’s sarcasm huh?

    I'll take the word of an actual NFL defender over the analytics wizards over at Profootballfocus.

    https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/01/bills-lorenzo-alexander-says-star-lotulelei-earned-every-bit-of-big-contract.html

     

    Buffalo linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, who called Lotulelei “disruptive,” said that the former Panthers tackle was well worth it and is going to be a staple on the team for years to come.


    “Obviously he (doesn’t play) a sexy position, but he allows other people around him to make plays,” Alexander said. “I’ve definitely been able to have a pretty good year this year. A lot of it is contributed to what he’s been able to do as far as keeping guys off me, allowing me to run free.


    “In the pass rush, people can’t step up. On first or second down I know a couple of guys that have gotten sacks throughout the year just because Star has gotten that great push. He’s earned every bit of what he’s got with that five-year deal.”

     

    It’s hard to argue with the results that the Bills defense had this season, finishing the year ranked second in the NFL in total defense and No. 1 in pass defense.

     

     

    Ok well I won’t

    The Locked on Bills podcast is a good replacement for my work commute. Haven't listened to WGR in over a year. 

     

    The guest he had on today thinks we should take a corner at 9 and  said “you can literally never have too many good corners”.

     

    Oh yeah? What about 20?

    Nah. Talk to players and coaches who are quoted for lauding Star’s work.

     

    He’s 90% the player Dareus WAS at half the price.

     

    And Dareus has mailed it in to the point he’s barely an nfl starter at this point. 

     

    Total non topic. 

     

     Wrong. Completely wrong

    It's debatable. We are gathered in a corner of the internet specifically for debate...about football...and the Bills...and their current draft situation...which will change numerous times over this weekend. 

     

    Trading up to three is a terrible idea. I won’t debate it with you. That’s where I draw the line.

    Right? Sheesh. "Muh draft picks! Not muh precious draft picks!" Either way people wanna slice it, I guarantee Beane does NOT leave this draft with 10 prospects. He will move around the board and try to turn those 10 picks into 5 or 6 picks happening in the first five rounds. 

     

    This isn’t even debatable. This is a terrible idea. Stop talking yourself into it.

    Ummm... so then the Dareus contract was 2 albatrosses or 3? And is more than 1 albatri? 

    I don’t see your point. 

    At least Dareus is a decent player.

    star is our highest paid player this year and we used a 3rd on a DT last draft and signed a former 2nd Rd pick yet for somehow DT is a need. Maybe because star is not good and his contract is atrocious. I’d rather have Dareus for 14 mil next couple years than star for 10. We have the cap space.

    Be honest? Ok in 2013 the Dolphins moved from 12 to 3 for their 2nd round pick. I'm not saying it will happen, saying it's happened before. The Raiders were desperate to move out. Desperate teams make desperate moves.

     

    This is the same GM that drafted Christian Hackenberg in the 2nd...

     

    I was saying be honest with yourself to everyone who wants this to happen. 

     

    If it was proposed yesterday and not about to happen most would be against it. They’re only talking themselves into it now because it looks like it might happen.

    If it's only for the Bills 2nd(40) are people still upset with this trade? 

    Yes and it won’t be. 

     

    If someone suggested this yesterday they would have been destroyed.

     

     Be honest and stop trying to talk yourselves into this because it looks like it could happen. This will be a disaster.

    It's deep, but there are no DTs in this draft like Q Williams.  Big drop off in talent after Q Williams.

     

     

    Heard the same about Dareus. You don’t trade up for a DT. Especially when he won’t even be on the field every play. Best case scenario he’s good and we are paying him 20plus million in 4 years to play 60% of the defensive snaps

    Williams is an animal. As long as we don't give up picks in the first 2 rounds of next year, I'm good with whatever we have to do to trade up.

     

    Really? I thought this was a deep DT draft? I couldn’t even come up with a more depressing scenario if you asked me this morning.
