Does this front office know how to make a trade?

Who are they going to trade? Kevin Williams might get a mid-rounder and that would leave them with no talent in the front 7. Lee Evans? Any teams in desperate straights for a guy that only wants to run 9 routes? Jackson? Any teams want to pony up for a RB on the wrong side of 30? Marshawn? We could get a 4th for him, but we're probably looking for something higher. Might be able to pedal McLovin to a team with a decimated secondary. Oh, and we could dump CJ Spiller for a 4th too. :D The rest is garbage. And if any of them do develop, then they'll be snapped up in free agency.

If trading is so hard then why do the Patriots, for example, get it done on a regular basis. Maroney this year. Deon Branch for a 1st round pick years ago! Draft picks during the draft. Remember Randy Moss. I have to admit, at least Donahue knew how to execute trades. Peerless Price to Atlanta for 1st Rounder. Bledsoe even though he didn't work out so well but funny thing is, he has been the best QB since Kelly. Lawyer Miloy was a nice pickup too. Donahue, of course, made mistakes and many blame him for the current demise.

 

Lawyer was not a trade. He was cut by the Pats* and signed by us. Bledsoe was not worth a number 1 for one half good season and setting us back from getting and developing a good young QB. Peerless was good deal, they franchise tagged him, forcing Atlanta to give up a number 1 pick to get him.

 

But there is no one we can really trade at this point and get fair value. Lynch and Spiller are a good one-two punch. Jackson is getting old and no one will give you anything for him. No one will give you much for Evans either, but all it would do if we traded him is put pressure on the Bills to use a very high draft pick next year on a WR, probably a higher pick than we would get for Evans. Most of the time a 3rd round pick doesn't even start for you and people want to give up say Lynch, who is a very good RB, for a player that won't even start next year. Look at the success of our 3rd round picks over the last 10 years.
