NoSaint Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) A little rain on the parade: Sammy is represented by Eugene Parker. Lucky we have him 5 years minimum and can tag him after even Edited May 9, 2014 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Why are people bitching about the 2015 draft, lets worry about the 2014 season. Sammy Watkins is the #1 offense player in the draft, is probably a future Pro Bowler and makes EJ a better QB. When the Bills go 10-6 all the whiners will grow silent.

PIZ Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If this draft is so deep, then our second is like a normal year's low 1st rounder. So it was either give them our 2014 second round pick or our 2015 1st round pick. Hopefully this translates into the playoffs. They are living for the now. I love it!

Agreed. Plus, if this team is a winner, the job of retaining talent becomes easier. Byrd very well could have wanted to stay if he hadn't been endlessly frustrated by all the change here.

34-78-83 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Bill - i have reservations about the cost, but you can't knock the player selected. He's the best offensive player in a loaded draft. This is not donte whitner. He'll get on board once he sees the kid play a bit. He's a bruising, fast, high twitch, workaholic, humble WR. I am shocked they pulled the trigger but LOVE the player.

todd Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 He is definitely spectacular. He's also expensive and spectacular. Guys knocking watkins as a TALENT (not as an expensive buy) really should watch him. He's spectacular. Best offensive prospect in the draft.

juno999 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I think he would have been available at 9. Maybe Tampa would have picked him but doubt it. Not a fan of this trade. nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) 2 1's and a 4. Stiff but not deadly It’s really only a 1 and 4. They just swapped 9 for 4. And for all those that wonder what happens if EJ doesn’t work out, they still have a 2nd round pick. They can grab a QB there.

thewildrabbit Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I hate what we gave up, hate that Cleveland got such a good deal (though they shouldn't have selected gilbert), but love Sammy. Overall I'm not exactly thrilled with the king's ransom. I hope we take offensive line the rest of the draft. EJ is !@#$ED without a new RT and LG. It remains to be seen what happens next. Better picks in next years draft then in this years, and who knows what will happen this fall. This FO is showing so much confidence in what they are doing it almost gives me hope.

dr.fishopolis Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Pittsburgh doesn't trade up New England doesn't trade up Except, you know, when they do. Like in 2012, when NE traded up twice in the first round: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2012/04/27/patriots_trade_picks_get_jones_hightower/ or in 2006, when PITT traded up for Santonio Holmes: http://triblive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_448709.html#axzz31BANkNoM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 A lot of what ifs here. If Watkins is the player they wanted, and think will make this offense legit, then it'll be worth it. Very risky, yes. But it's silly to say "Watkins would've been available at 9." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 2 firsts and a 4th. He better be Jerry Fricken' Rice or we just got B'slapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) 2 firsts and a 4th. He better be Jerry Fricken' Rice or we just got B'slapped. Using more picks on one player raises the bar. Is Watkins is 3 picks worth of player? Edited May 9, 2014 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingon Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 2 firsts and a 4th. He better be Jerry Fricken' Rice or we just got B'slapped. You mean one 1st and a 4th? Unless you would consider the Bills getting the fourth overall pick straight up for the ninth overall pick as giving up a 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
