NewEra Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I think Wayne is a bit overrated. I think he's a product of playing with one of the best qbs ever.

RyanC883 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I just disagree with this, adding mature veterans with playoff/super bowl experience is a good thing for a young team. I also agree. And we need another top WR. Most great teams have 2 top WR's. If the price is only a 4th, I'd def take that. Just think of it as an Evans for Reggie Wayne trade. When you look at it that way, it's a no brainer. Yes, a grown man in green tights dressed like peter pan! Tom Brady's off season workout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I think we'd get more out him than a 4th rd pick. My only worry is paying him too much.Looking at our recent 4th rd picks, its a no brainer. Funny. I disagree. I think Reggie Wayne is an awesome player. As for 4th rounders drafted by this regime, if Easley ever commences his career, I have very high hopes for him. And Chris Hairston is looking like a player. He could start at tackle for the Bills for many years. If your team drafts well, a 4th rounder is a valuable pick. With the revamping of the scouting department this year (the replacing of Modrak with Chuck Cook, the hiring of Tom Gibbons, the promotion of Darrell Moody, etc), I believe the Bills will be a team which drafts well. I think the 2011 draft is an exceptional one. Edited October 14, 2011 by San Jose Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Well the attitude around here is improving some what. It went from "Looks like we get Luck" to " we are rebuilding-no draft choices for vets". Seriously why can we not win the S.B THIS year? What team do you think stands in our way? If we can add a important player [and I know nothing about Wayne] do it NOW. Edited October 14, 2011 by Jim in Anchorage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can add a important player [and I know nothing about Wayne] do it NOW. I agree. Look around and no one other than pats or ravens scare me. Would be tough to beat Pats 2x for sure but easier than having lost the first and feeling fatalistic about losing. Ravens are of even greater concern because they can beat up the QB, have a big play guy in the secondary and they can run. Big match up issues for us. But hey being one of the top 3 gives you a shot and worth looking for that extra ingriedient or two now.

SouthGeorgiaBillsFan Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Again, no thanks. Giving up draft picks for old players is the opposite of what we are trying to do, isn't it? What good is perpetually getting younger? That is no good whatsoever. We have a chance to make a run - we should get what help we can find. That being said, Reggie Wayne isn't really what I had in mind. The Brandon Lloyd speculation did intrigue me though. And Brandon Lloyd never had Peyton Manning inflating his numbers.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Per schefter on ESPN just now the Bills may look to acquire R Wayne from the Colts for a 4th....Why not we have a 4th to spare We don't need no almost done WRs for a 4th. We got the guys we need already and this allows us to use more 2 TE sets and the Fullback which will let us to run the ball more effectively.

8-8 Forever? Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Again, no thanks. Giving up draft picks for old players is the opposite of what we are trying to do, isn't it? Stupid move. Jones back in 3 games.. Chan will game plan and package his way around this until the guys get back . It is what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthymcnasty08 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The 4th Rd. pick from Balt is starting to look more and more like a bottom of the round pick.....almost a 5th. For 2-3 years of solid production, another SB ring in the locker room, tons of playoff experience with a top 5 all-time QB, and a pretty damn good receiver. I would.

No harm done sjbf! I feel as such because think we have a legit shot to make a move THIS season. That 4th rd pick may or may not ever help us. One things for sure....it won't help us this year. Our wrs are depleted and we needed some help IMO. I'd love to bring up Aiken, but until I see it, I won't believe it. I don't believe it's likely that a 4th round pick has a good chance to significantly help our team. There's a chance, yes, but I think wayne hasna much better chance of helping our team this year, and the 3 following years. Planning the future is our game plan, but at 4-1, don't you think we should take a shot deep? It's a 4th rd pick, we traded a 1'dimensional Wr for it, let's add someone that can do more than that, nd hopefully help us make a push for a championship....the ONLY thing that matters.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Am I the only one that sees that this guy starts to run lazy routes when he doesn't get the ball? We don't need lazy route runners in this offensive system. I'm torn with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnutinphoenix Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 If we were 1-4,I'd say no way...But, since we are winning and our WR corps is decimated, it seems that we should make a move...a 4th rounder would be okay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps, sorry about the typos, can't stand typing on my ipad I feel ya but at this point, I'm thinking the Bills are not yet a Super Bowl contender. If we were one or two players away, then I'd be for the trade. Because I perceive us to be in the 2nd year of a 3-year rebuild (well ahead of schedule, however), I'd prefer to hold onto a 4th as opposed to sending one in a hypothetical trade for Wayne… or Lloyd. But I understand where you and many others are coming from… why not make a grab for the ring (right here and right now)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
