BillsFanM.D. Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It's about the coaching staff and the QB. The Bills have as much talent as the Patriots everywhere else. Probably a very fair assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Probably a very fair assessment. I bet Belichick would swap defenses with the Bills ( at least last season). Edited March 14, 2014 by Marauder'sMicro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
respk Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't trade up for any player unless it is a franchise QB. With all of the holes the Bills have they need all of the draft picks they have and more not less. I wouldn't mind seeing them trade down again this year to garner another pick or two.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) If Watkins fell to maybe #7 so the price isn't too much, then maybe try and trade up. Though I'd be very happy with Evens. The Bill's already have a Watkins clone in Woods, what they don't have a is a big WR which Evens would bring. so IMO if they could get Evens at #9 I wouldn't waste picks moving up.

NoSaint Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I could see the front office looking at this roster like its the bengals and getting AJ Green being huge for their middle of the pack qb, and elite defense being playoff ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 there is no need to trade up in this draft. in every scenario a stud is available at #9. my preference is to just stay there and pick an OT [bills gave up the 4th most sacks]. if anything, they would be more inclined to trade down and pickup a bonus kiko again. but after the 3 QB's , mack, clowney, watkins, robinson, Matthews and lewan there is a drop off to barr, evans, ebron, gilbert. regarding taylor lewan, most scouts say he is better than all 3 of the OT's that went early last year.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I could see the front office looking at this roster like its the bengals and getting AJ Green being huge for their middle of the pack qb, and elite defense being playoff ready That is what my brother and I were talking about. If EJ can get to Dalton level this team will be pretty good. There are not many holes left especially if Hairston is ready. They could still use a tackle, maybe a safety and certainly a WR. I know that they love him (don't know how much). Everyone keeps talking about trading down because of the depth of the draft but I am starting to lean the other way. The depth of the draft should mean that the cost to go up is cheaper because of the teams looking to go back. If you see a player (specifically Watkins) that could be the difference go get him.

Like all of them or not, we added 5 guys so far in free agency (and resigned chandler). That's a good chunk of the roster, and not lost anything but Byrd. We may have done most of the heavy lifting for patching holes and now be looking for final pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas55 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 There's a very good chance, based on a number of mocks ( including Kipers) that Sammy Watkins falls to the 7 spot. The Bills should be prepared to make a move to that spot and grab him. Number One playmaker/receiver in this draft, and the pure #1 type receiver the Bills need. Keep Stevie around for another year, and allow Watkins in year 2 to blossom into that role as Bills # 1 threat for years to come. Hopefully Bills will not be in position to draft a player like this for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PO'14 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 IM DOWN WITH THAT! Watkins IMO is the most NFL ready college player out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I would do it in a heartbeat.Whether WR or TE the Bills need a game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I am completely against trading up and giving up picks especially in this draft I have recently climbed aboard the Ebron train if neither of the tackles are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 No. No such thing as an NFL ready WR outside of Randy Moss, and you don't trade away picks in a draft this deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Welcome aboard the Ebron train I just hopped on about 10 days ago.Would love Buffalo getting Watkins or Ebron. With the Fa they've had so far seems like a good year to go after a play maker.How about trade down a few spots and get Ebron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmalibu Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I guess the big question is "what would it cost to trade up?" If it requires a 2nd or maybe a 3rd round pick, not a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Nice idea, and I love Watkins, but I would echo others' sentiment in that you don't trade away early picks in a draft this deep. I'd be more in favor of trading back 3 or 4 spots and picking up an extra 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBLESS Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 We still need a very good OT to pair with Cordy. I still think this should be our first priority. It's very possible we could trade down a few spaces and find an OT plus pickup another 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just refreshed my familiarity with sammys highlights and he certainly looks like the real deal to me. But damn I don't wanna give up that second rounder. Could the bucs possibly willing to swap for our 3rd assuming Vikings are going QB? Maybe they really want one of the big three linemen. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 For Watkins, I'd trade up. Not for anyone else though. He's that type of special player that we need to get this offense going. I could care less that he's not 6'4. He's a ball player with the mentality that we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
