I don't see why it's so out of the question. Unlikely, yes. But nothing TD does tommorrow will surprise me.
I do think he should go WR. He said it himself, we need a better offense. J.P. could use another weapon. Mike Williams would definitely help. But do I think we'd trade our first next year and our 2nd? No.
If Williams (forget about Edwards) is going to end up in the Red, White, and Blue; it would come off of the rumored Nate Clements trade.
If I were TD and I could get #9 for Nate, i'd pull the trigger on it. I have a sinking feeling that MW will fall there. Then i'd trade TH to Arizona for L.J. and a switch of our 2nd's and land Mike Nugent.
In the 3rd, i'd go CB with preferrably Stanley Wilson and a Center in the 4th. After acquiring L.J. and a center for the future, our line would be set. Wilson would help fill the void that Vincent left and be our star of the future. I'd go after a veteran CB after the draft. Wilson and a veteran should be enough to fill the holes.

Here's what Mel says:
Rd 2 Luis Castillo DT North Western
Rd 3 Kevin Everett TE Miami
Rd 4 Chis Myers OL Miami
Scouts:
Rd 2 Anttaj Hawthorne DT Wisc
Rd 3 Antonio Perkins DC Ok
Rd 4 Jason Brown OC North Carolina
Rd 5 Calvin Armstrong OT Wash St
Rd 6 Eric Moore DC FSU
Rd 7 Tony Curtis (Spartacus!) TE Portland St
Both have us taking a DT in round 2 and the first O-lineman in round 4.
Now is this before or after the Castillo Steroids bombshell?
-
Yeah, I don't like this trade idea much.
Rod Gardner is no better than Josh Reed. Nobody really wants the guy. Not to mention, Doug Jolley just went for #26; so i'd venture to say that Nate Clements is worth a LOT more than a #25.

The Skins are $1.4 million under the cap right now...how are they going to pay a "top 5" CB salary to anyone?
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...john&id=2004973
The same way they'd be expected to pay for a top 10 pick in the draft. I'm sure they'd re-structure some contracts and/or cut some people to free cap space.
How are we so sure Nate's looking for top 5 CB money? I bet he's asking a lot, but maybe it's not much worse than what they offered Smoot?
Yes, it's unlikely that it will happen. But you have to admit, it does make sense if TD knows in his heart of hearts that he won't be able to keep Nate anyways. It's unlikely, but you can't completely rule it out.
-
I think that's a great move!
Jolley's good, but he's not "trade your first round pick" good.
-
It's definitely plausible, but I don't think it will happen. I'd bet that the Dolphins are going to use that pick for Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, or Aaron Rodgers.
The Redskins are going to stay put if you ask me. They'll take Pac-Man Jones at 9 and Jason Campbell at 25.
I think you'll see Minnesota package their #7 and #18 to move up to Cleveland's #3 to ensure that they get Braylon Edwards to replace Randy Moss though.

Jason Brown, Center from North Carolina
I don't think we're going to draft a rookie for LT. As it is we have:
Mike Williams
Bennie Anderson
Trey Teague
Chris Villarial
Mike Gandy
Justin Bannan
Ross Tucker
Lawrence Smith
Ben Sobieski
Dylan McFarland
Jason Peters
After picking a Center, we'll have 12 OL. I think we'll sign another tackle at some point. Whether we just pick up Shelton after he's cut or sign the best available 6/1 cut, it doesn't matter.
-
Draft:
#2 - Matt Jones (QB/WR/TE, Arkansas)
#2 - Mike Nugent (K, Ohio State)
#3 - Stanley Wilson (CB, Stanford)
#4 - Jason Brown (C, North Carolina)
#5 - Maurice Clarrett (RB, Ohio State)
#6 - David McMillan (DE, Kansas)
#7 - Jason White (QB, Oklahoma)
Bills trade Travis Henry to the Eagles for #35.

Victor Riley is one of the top tackles in the league. He plays RT, but I think he's versatile enough to play LT. If not, Mike Williams could be switched to LT and Victor put in at RT.
Is there something wrong with him that I don't know about? I think he would be the perfect addition if we really don't like Shelton.

Unless the NFL has added several teams, that's a low 2nd.
I don't get the logic of this scenario. Then again, it was conjured by armchair NFL pundits. There's lots of them these days.
TD will get something tangible for Travis, not merely moving up a few spots in a craptacular draft. If not, expect to see #20 back in red, white, two shades of blue, and silver.
I disagree with you guys.
If there's a player that TD wants (like Matt Jones) at 35, who won't be available at 55; a trading Travis Henry to move TWENTY spots up is worth it.
-
Meh.... It doesn't shock me.
That doesn't mean he'll be a Bill this season. We often go into training camp with more than 3 QB's.

I like the guy.
I mean do disrespect, but I like that this guy seemed awake. I understand John Paul II was getting up there in age and was ill. But I just don't agree with the whole, Pope until you die or relinquish the title.

I'll make this short and sweet:

#25? hmmm.....
Definitely not for a #1 next year! We'd be in the same boat we're in now and next year's crop will most likely be better. If Denver wants themselves a RB (which I don't think they do) and a #55, then it'd be good.
But I think they'd draft Matt Jones before Jamal Brown. There's OT's still on the market who would be better than him and cheaper.

East Coast (the place that brought us our Nate Clements info first) projects us trading Travis Henry and our 2nd to Phili for their #35. Thus selecting Matt Jones.
They are also reporting that San Fran has agreed to draft Alex smith #1!
"04/17...The latest news around the league starts in Buffalo where the Travis Henry sweepstakes appears to be heating up...the Arizona Cardinals were one of the first teams to express their interest in Henry... but within the last week the Tampa Bay Bucs and Philadelphia Eagles have both contacted the Bills about the possibility of trading for Henry...these teams realize that although this Draft appears to be full of Halfbacks that will be available in rounds three through five...they also know that there is a HUGE dropoff after the top three backs...the Eagles own two picks in the top 35 of this Draft (picks #31 and #35) could be "dangling " one of those picks to acquire Henry from the Bills in a trade down with the team...the Bills first pick in the Draft is at #55 and a package deal of that pick and Travis Henry could be headed to Philly for one of the Eagles first two picks...this is nothing more than speculation at this time...but stay tuned come Draft Day...
Bills Gm Tom Donahoe stated this week at the Bills Pre-Draft Luncheon that several NFL teams have contacted him about trading their first pick in the Draft and getting out of the first round...the general feeling around the league is there are about 15 Top Prospects in this Draft but the next 15 to 20 prospects all carry a similar grade...some teams that are drafting in that area feel they would rather move down into the second round of the Draft and not have to pay first round money to a prospect...they would then acquire an extra third or fourth round pick for trading down where there will be several solid prospects still on the board in round three through four......just a reminder...Al will be tweaking his two round Mock several times between now and the Draft...before posting his Final Mock next Friday.

I'll admit, i'd be pretty peeved.
I at least expect a Travis trade to go down. I'd like to see us try and get in the top 10 to get a guy like Mike Williams. But I think a Travis trade is going to go down and we're going to package things to get high enough to pick Matt Jones.
-
EVERYTHING is posturing.
I don't trust a word that comes out of TD's or any GM's mouth before the draft.

Uncapped year? That's a joke right?
As for the "tag and trade", Charles Woodson provided the antidote for that situation when he signed the franchise tender forcing Oakland to pay. I think you won't see that move going down anymore. Plus, tagging Nate won't get us anywhere near a 9th. Teams will know that we have to trade him and that puts the cards in their hands.
No one in this draft worth trading for? I disagree.
We don't need a QB and we don't need a RB. The OL is weak in this draft. But this year is rich in CB's and WR's. We need a guy like Mike Williams, Braylon Edwards, or Matt Jones.
We have Eric Moulds who is getting old and starting to show it. Lee Evans is amazing, but Josh Reed is worthless. TD says we need help on offense. Any of those three guys are worth it (of course Jones will go MUCH later than 9).
Alex Barron at OT and Heath Miller at TE would be worth trading for as well. From 9, you could trade down and pick up a couple picks to get one (if not both) of those guys.
Would you trade Clements and next year's

Yeah, I would. But only next year's 2nd, not this year's. And ONLY if Mike Williams is available.
