26CornerBlitz Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am SOOOOOO psyched none of that happened. Our draft was awesome on paper. I know rite! what a dick move. smh LOL bam! Just a guess, but I think the Bills would have selected Ragland and Jarron Reed in the 2nd round if the deal had been completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Is Lawson worth that much more over J. Reed? Plus Dallas #67 and keep two 4th rd picks Edited May 2, 2016 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2 and a 3 in this draft was definitely worth it, esp. since they would've been able to keep the two 4s they sent away to take Ragland. This draft was botched.

Coach Tuesday Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Three. Why - a 2 and a 3 for 19, so that's 2, plus the two 4s they spent to move up for Ragland...? That said I haven't had my coffee yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Did every other team that turned down Dallas also botch their drafts? The Jets certainly did. I'm not sure about the others, but the Bills have a ton of needs. Teams picking in the 20s might have fewer holes to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills would have taken Cowboys offer, they would have had 3 more picks in the '16-'17 drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanted the Bills to drop from 19 to 34 and only pick up a 3rd for the drop? That's essentially what you're saying. That is nowhere near enough.

Was this gone through already? I'm saying - they take the Cowboys offer and they pick up the #34 pick, so they can take Ragland at 34 without spending two 4s to go get him. I might be missing something, because math, but I think I'm right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be missing something, because math, but I think I'm right? I take it you missed the debates of how much it cost to get Watkins? You're also assuming that Reed is still on the board at #18 of Round 2, despite Seahawks clear interest in him. So realistically, If Bills take Ragland at #34, they probably have to do another swap to make sure they still get a quality DL at the top half of round 2.

dave mcbride Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I thought the object was to get really good players, not just players in quantity. If they really believed that Lawson is a perfect fit and elite, you take him. This is a team that really needs a defensive end, and Reed is not the player that Lawson is.

They could have four players instead of one Lawson. Yes that's net three players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
