    Rumor: Bills trying aggressively to move up for a WR in round one

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    28 is such a hard spot the more I look at this.  Top WRs will be gone.  At best we’re looking at one of Chop (exciting player - good value, but doesn’t instantly make this team better), (Latu many teams have passed over)  and Cooper DeJean (similar to chop in that it’s not a huge immediate upgrade).    And no guarantees any of them will even make it to 28. 
     

    So at the end of the day I think we either need to move up to get a WR, or move down and pick up a 2nd 2nd and a 3rd.  Then grab 2 WRs with those 3 picks.

    I get diggs was a good player - but I dont know why everyone is so worried about this.  A couple moves and our WR corps could easily be:

     

    WR1: Troy Franklin (or substitute in your favorite at ~pick 18 to 28)

    WR2: Tyler Boyd

    WR2: Curtis Samuel

    WR4: Kalil Shakir

    WR5: Justin Shorter (I think people are sleeping on him - but he needs to prove it)

     

    TE1: Dalton Kincaid

    TE2: Dawson Knox

     

    That...seems...more than okay - and ENTIRELY possible once Tre comes off the books officially.  In may not look exactly like that (and it probably won't) - but thats the level which we can pretty easily get to.  

     

    My bigger concern is that we now HAVE to focus on offense.  We have some glaring holes on the defensive side.  I think the real impact will be felt on defense where we have to start someone like Rapp because the resources have flown to the offensive side of the ball.

    Maybe, I'm not so sure. Is there any team that has achieved major success pulling off a trade like for a non-QB player? 

     

    When you're desperately trying to get younger, you need those picks. Who's to say you don't find a great WR with those 2 x 1st rounders & 2 x 2nd rounders? 

     

    Even the Diggs to Buffalo trade showed how thar works. Vikings just replaced him with Jefferson, an even better WR. Same could even be said about the 2017 draft. We got Tre White out of it & a pick that helped us move up for Josh, but the Chiefs got Mahomes. 

     

    Point is, we sound desperate right now, but a great player could be right there at all those spots if we just stay patient. 

     I love Harrison - and I’d be thrilled to have him.  But…it’s too much of a gamble.  You hit - and you’re fine here.  But if you miss - you’ve lost 3 or 4 years here.  
     

    For a thought exercise only - imagine if you took a WR with every one of those picks.  2 first round WRs and 2 second round WRs.   Now pick the best of those 4.  How much better is Marvin Harrison?  And how much more likely is it that Marvin Harrison will be a bust vs *all* 4 of those selections?

     

    protect the downside here.  That’s too much to give up.

    Don't worry too much.  The Jests haven't hit on a QB in 2 decades (Chad Pennington, 2000), and they've only hit on 2 QBs in the draft in 60 years (Namath).   It's not that they haven't tried: Mark Sanchez (#5) in 2009, Sam Darnold (#3) in 2018, Zach Wilson (#2) in 2021.   Chicago, Washington, and NE all need QBs, so I doubt they'll trade out of the top three spots.  The Giants may take a QB at #6.  That leaves the Jests to go for one of the lesser QBs -- or trade up to get ahead of the Giants for the fourth best QB in the draft. 

     

     

    Pay back is a you-know-what!!!!   Then again, I have to thank them for their sacrifice!


    ya. Same as us until Josh.   And a “lesser QB” because they are drafted later is a bad rubric.  By this measure, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Roger’s and Ben Roethlisbirger were all “lesser QBs”.

    The thing that scares me is if they hit on a QB.  A good defense.  A solid offense.  And if they get a young QB playing on a rookie deal - they could be a real contender.  Not concerned with Aaron Rodgers though.  Dude is done.
