YoloinOhio Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I LOVE THIS MOVE. No picks given up this year.Possibly the best player/weapon in the draft. I truly think they intend to give EJ more than next year, and other needs can always be picked up in FA next year to overcome the 1st round pick. Fortune favors the bold. Why not try something new??? Bennett 2.0. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm shocked at some of the stupid comments. We did NOT trade 2 -1st rd picks!! We swapped 1sts this year and used next years 1st & 4th to get the best offensive talent in the Draft. BTW, I agree with Beerball, its ALL on EJ now.

bbb Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This will set back the franchise for 5 years or so. Other than that, I am all over this pick. If EJ sucks, this post will be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Really hate this trade. Giving up next year's #1 when Evans would have been available at 6 or 7 is foolish. We very likely traded two top-10 picks for #4. Not if you think Evans is more Wayne Chrebet than AJ Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 @buffalobills Whaley: #Bills gave up a No. 1 pick, but "we expect it to be a low pick" Russ Brandon: "This was a conversation during the week, but it was on-the-clock type conversations" @Browns #BillsDraft Whaley: "@sammywatkins is open when he's covered" #BillsDraft Whaley: "He was the best on our board" @sammywatkins Russ Brandon: "When Bortles was taken by @jaguars, (trade talks) picked up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Size is great but I think at WR a lot of posters overrate it.... Dynamic players come in a variety if sizes and it's not like these guys are 5'6 145lbs I'm only worried about it in the redzone, honestly. Hopefully EJ can see the field and predict routes better his second year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 They know they won't be here long, so they just rolled the dice on the franchise. Cowardly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If we believe the pre-draft analysis, Watkins is the only guy Bills should have traded up for. But it does likely signal the end of Stevie At the very least I'd bet next February will be a choice between Stevie and Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We very likely traded two top-10 picks for #4. Watkins is so much better. I'm pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Cleveland has a rich history of showing that they know what they are doing with multiple high draft picks. Be very afraid. hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If the team needs a QB next year, then yes, this will set us back 5 years. Really, because it sounds like you think they need a QB right now. Why will it suddenly set us back 5 years when this whole draft hasn't even finished, there will be 2015 free agency, and another draft to pull a QB from? And this is all insisting that they in fact need a QB next year. Loser mentality. Build a great team, and if the QB isn't the one, a new one comes in with tons of great weapons to work with.

Beerball Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 It's a first next year, screw whatever "chart" you are looking at. A #1 is a #1. No, not really. That aside, I'm happy that they did not give up any other 14 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If we believe the pre-draft analysis, Watkins is the only guy Bills should have traded up for. But it does likely signal the end of Stevie Idk if it signals the end for him this year. You have Williams who may or may not work out. I think it ends up being between Williams and SJ who the Bills keep after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully EJ can see the field and predict routes better his second year Well, ideally, that wouldn't be a 4 WR spread situation as much as Freddy, cmac, chandler etc...

Optometric Insight Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 In all these years, i would've never guessed that the Bills would draft Watkins! So happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 LOL! The usual suspects that B word about the team not being aggressive now B word about this pick, and the cost it took to make it...go figure. I'm happy to see a front office that has the balls to do something it believes in. The Ebron pick that was the 'conventional wisdom' probably would have resulted in the conventional results...nice player but not special. We now have a special guy in a pass-first league with enough complementary assets surrounding him that he doesn't have to carry the whole passing game on his back. The 2nd and 3rd pick will determine how this 'calculated risk' will be judged. Get two more instant starters (OL, TE) and next year's number one becomes less of a gamble, IMO.

Screwball Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 So Evans went to TB, means both WR's likely off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
