    For Consideration The Next 3 Days…

    The draft debate has been very fun for the past several months.  I enjoy reading everyone’s opinions.

     

    Tonight the Bills make their first pick (or not!).  The pick will make some happy and some will be apoplectic that who they picked is clearly inferior to another player/isn’t a player at a premium position/has an average RAS score, etc…

     

    Whatever your view, let’s remember that:

    1. We are not privy to any player’s medical evaluation.  This is very important.

    2. We don’t have an opportunity to evaluate a player by interviewing him, his coaches, teammates, etc.

    3. We don’t have a sense for the work ethic of most prospects 

    4. It is hard for us to evaluate any players aptitude to learn

    5. Most of us can’t tell how a player fits the Bills’ current scheme and none of us know what scheme changes they are considering.

    5. It is very hard for us to know what room any prospect has to improve strength/skills (are they maxed out or just need NFL strength training?)

     

    All of the above are very important considerations when evaluating any player.

     

    Looking forward to the excitement and debates!

     


    let’s also remember that we all are bills fans.

     

    ”I love you man!”

     

    ………..even when we disagree, which is always possible……..

    Disclaimer:  I may get cranky.  Don’t mind me….

    What are your plans for draft night?

    Lol go buds go !!! Three finals appearances in a row is enough for Tampa.
     I wouldn’t be surprised or upset if Campbell is the pick

     

    I have a confession to make.  I live north of Toronto.

    Go Leafs! (but I'm just a bandwagon playoff Leafs fan....).  

    DIE HARD Bills fan though!

    TSW Mock Draft 3.0 Poll - Who should the Bills take at #27

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Okay, so I didn't vote for the trade option because I thought is was a bit too "pie in the sky"....... and random.

     

    BUT

     

    I'm trying to find out if the Cardinals would even be interested in Oliver, if they need a DT.

    I found this:  https://cardswire.usatoday.com/2019/03/29/ed-oliver-private-visit-az-arizona-cardinals/

    So, I think that there would be mutual interest between the Bills and Cardinals for moving Olver in a trade.  Expect a high pick on DT since most of our DL is in a contract year.....  Moving Oliver helps with that just a bit.

     

    I'm trying to find out if the Cardinals have a DL draft need.

    I found this (I'll take this information for what it's worth):  https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/cardinals-draft-needs-team-nfl-2023/

    So, yes, the Cards could use an upgrade at DT.

     

    Do the Bills want to swap contracts?  How would that look?

    I found this:  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/deandre-hopkins-12307/.  About $19.5 Mill

    And this:  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/ed-oliver-29044/.  About $10.7 Mill

    And this:  https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/buffalo-bills

    I'm not much of a cap expert but we're dealing with an increase in $$ of $9 Million.....

    Someone else let me know if this works......

     

    Do the Bills want to trade down?

    Yes.  Beane has eluded to that even.....

     

    Is Pick 34 a good spot?

    Yes.  I think that Jack Campbell might be there, as well as a few OT options that I think will slide.

     

    Consider my vote changed to the Hopkins trade.

    You missed Jack Campbell :devil:

    I don't consider him a "top ranked" first rounder!  ;)

     

     

    Hot take #2. 

    We draft Flowers and then he's WR 4 (and does nothing....) underneath a contract-year-motivated Gabe Davis, and Shakir who becomes a pro-bowl caliber slot WR after his training wheels rookie year.  (I'm just poking fun here......)
