ALF Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Geoff Mosher @GeoffMosherCSN 7m It'll either be Buff's 4th rd pick in '15, 3rd rd pick in '16, or 4th rd pick in '16. Condition tied to Stevie Johnson's performance this yr Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 It's pretty obvious that the Bills are trying to kill people with speed. Between Watkins, Goodwin, Graham, Spiller and Brown the Bills will pose a real problem for opposing teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc24 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Now I hope Sherman shuts down Stevie so that pick is a 4. As for fumbling, that can be coached up. See Barber, Tiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 http://www.sbnation....-bills#comments Good link. Bills are still looking for a starting RB? Who writes this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You draft tackles and move them inside. If Kouandjio plays at RT then they can move a tackle inside if they want as well. I'm pretty sure they didn't draft an RT to play him at guard. The LG position was sufficiently addressed in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I love Freddy but guys his age can fade very quickly. The hits start to accumulate past the body's ability to quickly recover and it's a long season. I don't think they're getting rid of him at all. Brown has had some issues, so maybe putting him together with Freddy will help. If Browns turns things around with Freddy's help this will be a good move.

I remember several times last year Freddy looked to have been taken out, like that first game against Miami, but magically returned. That's not going to keep happening. I love this trade.

NoSaint Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I agree that in the end, the downside is low. Just irks me as a matter of principle to give up anything for the RB position. My personal belief is: 1) never waste a 1st round pick on a RB 2) never re-sign or sign a top-tier FA RB 3) never trade anything for a RB There are exceptions, but generally it's pretty unwise to do any of the foregoing. We get a guy for 500k a year that's played well has excellent measurables and cost us just a 4 next year.... I'm not losing sleep over cost. If you want to spend 3-4m instead in free agency I think you are talking 6 of one and a half dozen of the other in price/value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) So we traded Stevie Johnson, who hated footballs so much he refused to catch them, for a solid backup to CJ? BUENO. Edited May 10, 2014 by stevestojan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Moreno signed for over $3mm for this year, Blount about $4MM for 2 years, hardly peanuts. And maybe they wouldn't want to play here with Spiller and Jackson ahead of them. Why is it strange to trade a 3rd rounder for a RB, would you have a problem drafting a RB with a 3rd? In limited playing time, Brown has shown he can play in the NFL, that's more than anyone drafted today can say. Just based on value, it seems like much more established RBs have gone for much less. Didn't we trade Lynch for a 5th? The Pats got legarrett Blount for a 7th rounder. The eagles got sproles for a 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 @GeoffMosherCSN: Eagles have traded Bryce Brown to the Bills, per source. #Eagles get a future pick.

Malazan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure they didn't draft an RT to play him at guard. The LG position was sufficiently addressed in the off-season. I didn't say that. Please re-read. They could move Hairston inside if they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't trade a 4 th round draft pick for a RB, but would you draft a RB with a fourth round pick? Just based on value, it seems like much more established RBs have gone for much less. Didn't we trade Lynch for a 5th? The Pats got legarrett Blount for a 7th rounder. The eagles got sproles for a 5th. Possibly. Lynch was a bad trade, also one more mistake away from suspension. Blount was a guy on a one year deal, so that diminishes value. Sproles will be 31 this season, coming off a poor year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 A 5th is too much. Didn't this could fumble like 316 times in one season? He also had some nice production and fumbling issues can be resolved Now I hope Sherman shuts down Stevie so that pick is a 4. As for fumbling, that can be coached up. See Barber, Tiki. Why would you want the pick to be a 4 when if it becomes a 3 Bills keep it and send a 4 th in 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Bills are still looking for a starting RB? Who writes this stuff? Ha! Yeah, I can't even guess what was meant by that line.. Otherwise, pretty informative. A couple 120 yrd games and the fumbles everyone is talking about happened in a 2 game sequence, but only 3 total in approx. 180 carries..

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You won't trade a 4 th round draft pick for a RB, but would you draft a RB with a fourth round pick? I personally wouldn't ever draft a RB. But if they were going to draft a guy, I am okay that they got brown instead of a pick. Frankly, I think that's what happened-- the guys at RB they wanted weren't there, so they made the trade instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
