Kipers Hair Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 If Sammy Watkins is there at 4, the Bills will trade their 1st, 2nd and Stevie Johnson to Cleveland for the rights to take Sammy Watkins. Something could change, but as of today, this is on the table...Not sure this makes us better, but they see something in Sammy and envision a long term relationship with EJ and him. If Sammy is not there, they are more than happy with Matthews or Ebron at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 :thumbsup: Need a go-to receiver and can address OT later. Coming away with both will help the young quarterback immeasurably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Um.... Why would the Browns want SJ when they could just draft Watkins for less than half his salary? CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 This seems like way too much to give up to move up 5 spots. Maybe I'm ignorant.. but what does Sammy Watkins offer that Robert Woods doesn't? He is sick on screens. But we don't run them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Um.... Why would the Browns want SJ when they could just draft Watkins for less than half his salary? CBF Exactly, they could have their pick of WR at #4 for a rookies salary, but they fleece the Bills? Nice proviso btw "Something could change..." gotta give yourself an out, when/if your wrong.

Yup... if we ran them properly, CJ would have had a much better year last year. And Goodwin, probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Um.... Why would the Browns want SJ when they could just draft Watkins for less than half his salary? CBF Supposing they want a QB they believe they can get at 9, they get a proven WR to play opposite Josh Gordon, get their QB, and have an extra pick early in the 2nd, all for moving back 5 spots.

Kipers Hair Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Um.... Why would the Browns want SJ when they could just draft Watkins for less than half his salary? CBF the only thing I can figure is that they (browns) can take Carr at 9 and feel better about it while also getting a capable Y receiver. Also, if they draft Sammy, your going to max pay for Josh Gordon and Sammy? Unlikely - works for 4 years, then one will leave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Actually a good deal for them. Carr probably at nine and a deep talented wide reciever class in the second. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sammy is not there, they are more than happy with Matthews or Ebron at 9. If true I would obviously welcome Watkins, but I'll also go on record against this deal because giving up a 2nd Round pick in this Draft is dumb, stupid, ill-advised, and...did I say dumb yet? The deepest Draft in recent memory and we are going to give up #41? Ugh...I HATE that idea...Hate, hate, hate it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice proviso btw "Something could change..." gotta give yourself an out, when/if your wrong. only reason for the caveat is we are still a week out and someone else might offer the Browns better. Too much time this year...will cement a final call the day of, but have heard too much about this (from people in Cleveland by the way) to ignore it...

Also, I think it is too much to give up for a WR considering we are more than one player away from a deep run at the playoffs.

BigBuff423 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm against trading UP for anyone....BUT, if they DO trade up, Watkins would be guy IMO to do it for.... Having said that, I would prefer for the BILLS to trade DOWN and get more picks in a deep Draft and solidify OT, LB and TE, in addition to getting a playmaking WR, that is a deep position this year so you could arguably get a good one in the 4th...IF the BILLS trade SJ, that might move the desire to Draft a top-flight WR to the 1st round, but you can do that at 9 or certainly at 41 with the depth of this Draft...
