NoSaint Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Other than getting sacked in 0.8 seconds. As long as he doesn't get hurt I guess it's ok. Set at 3 positions on the line, and feel they got a starter at a 4th this year..... And can add a rt still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Alright...now that I have calmed down down for a moment. And now that I am resisting the twitch of Mike Evans going #7 Watkins better motherf*cking own it. This year. This F*cking year. That seems rational, right? It does, but, remember...it's all about the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oman128 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I find it funny how people complain the Bills don't take chances, it's the same old same old, they finally get bold and people complain. there's no pleasing some of you, obviously. Totally agree too many negative Nancy's, that piss and moan about everything. Have a little faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NastyNateSoldiers Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm gonna call this wide receiver core the Buffalo Pride!!! Sammy Watkins, Stevie & Big Mike all either from Buffalo love Buffalo or grew up watching Buffalo. We got us some Buffalo Pride fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26TrapDraw Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 there's way too many negative Nancys on this board we just got a f****** stud player, who cares what the f*** we gave up. We haven't been to the f****** playoffs in 15 years get over it +1 if you give up picks it needs to be for a dynamic kid like this wtf is wrong with you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity 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.

MRW Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 No clue why people are comparing Watkins to Spiller. Watkins is a physical WR who doesn't shy away from contact. The guy breaks tackles and uses his hands off the line of scrimmage to beat the press. He's not huge but he's not small - he's 6'1". How does he compare to Spiller exactly? Because he's fast? That's the depth of analysis here? He's a fast guy from Clemson, not just another fast guy. Plus the Bills originally had the #9 pick in the draft the year they selected each of them. I think it's clear to everyone that they're identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billscsg Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Great player but IMO gave up too much. Time will tell but would've rather saved draft picks. Should've gone OT round 1 than either WR, TE round 2. That would've preserved pick for next year. Hope Whaley knows best. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I think people would be more accepting of this trade had it been next years 2nd and not our 1st rounder in 2015. However, Watkins was identified as one of the elite players in this draft class and we got him. I hope we can swing a decent deal for Stevie. I would take a higher round pick in next yrs draft to make up for what we gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 ctored in. More importantly, how do you know we are picking 9th next year?

Just in Atlanta Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Tremendous pressure on this kid to dominate from Day 1 -- Dez Bryant, or Calvin Johnson like. Holding off judgment.

RuntheDamnBall Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I couldn't agree more. I'm truly wondering if Whaley has an IQ that's much above 100 at this point, quite seriously. IMO he just sealed his and Marrone's fates. I guess we can start looking forward to the "rebuild" in 2016. Surprise, surprise, the natural born haters of this board remain consistent.

MILFHUNTER#518 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 the key to this trade working is E.J. taking the helm as our franchise QB. If he improves, and Hackett lets him pass more, we will be ok considering how good our D looks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipster19 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The speed that we now have at the WR position is off the chain! I applaud the courage and there is plenty of time and opportunity to recoup some of this compensation. I'd have to say that it's good bye Stevie at one time or another. Don't think that Buffalo is done tonight, they never touched any of this year's picks, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Bills didn't put together another package with this year's picks to get back into the bottom of the 1st rd for someone like OT Cyrus Kouandjio or maybe even that TE Jace Amaro. The Panthers could be a good trade partner at #28, that's where Stevie could be a part of the compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Watkins is the BEST player in the draft, future Pro Bowler and is totally worth the picks the Bills gave up. Stay put at #9, stay put in the standings. When the Bills make the playoffs this year, nobody will care about the 2015 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Cleveland blew the shrewd move by trading up one spot for Justin Gilbert CB. They could have a solidified the Offensive line. Yup. They managed to Browns up a decent trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Draft value chart does not factor in the key factor. This is a very deep draft and by all accounts, next years draft is going to be lean with all the early entries. Next years mid to late first (hoping the Bills make the playoffs) talent could be a 2nd rounder this year. Not a fan of giving up prime picks but sometimes it is worth it. Stevie, if he stays, will thrive in the slot. That is his natural position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjmac Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Bills History with round 1 WR's has some similarities to today... 1983, Round 1 / Pick 19: Perry Tuttle, WR, Clemson 1979, Round 1 / Pick 5: Jerry Butler, WR, Clemson Tuttle was picked in 1982. Our first-rounders in 1983 were Tony Hunter and Jim Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
