Cripple Creek Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Still making fun of Cleveland now? They will make it to the playoffs before we do They certainly should. Extra picks in rounds 3-5 on top of what they already have can rebuild a team fast. At least Cleveland has a plan, but they are now approaching over-kill territory. When you have that many picks their value starts to decline. How does that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 They certainly should. Extra picks in rounds 3-5 on top of what they already have can rebuild a team fast. 2 picks in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds and 3 in the 5th, plus the first pick in the 6th. I'm certainly envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 How so? How many rookies can you successfully assimilate into a 53 man roster? Most rookies need more than a year before they meaningfully contribute. Can you really invest that time with that many draft picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily looking at each pick as a player that needs a roster spot, but rather more value in overall draft capital or simply more room to address different needs.

frogger Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 We simply have to let Gilmore and Woods walk and concentrate on getting released vets...only way to get extra picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah the blue light special vet players Doug brought in sucked for us....hated watching them in the pro bowl If this team had made the playoffs nobody would be complaining about comp picks That's a pretty big 'if'.

snafu Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Still making fun of Cleveland now? They will make it to the playoffs before we do If half of Cleveland's picks work out from last year and this year, they're going to have huge salary cap problems in the next 4-5 years.

FireChan Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) If half of Cleveland's picks work out from last year and this year, they're going to have huge salary cap problems in the next 4-5 years. Too many good players. What a problem to have. Pete Carrol probably lies awake at night thinking how awful it was to find an All-Pro CB in the fifth and win a Super Bowl. Nightmarish.

YoloinOhio Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If half of Cleveland's picks work out from last year and this year, they're going to have huge salary cap problems in the next 4-5 years. their team is run by a crook, a lawyer and a baseball executive.

Pete Carrol probably lies awake at night thinking how awful it was to find an All-Pro CB in the fifth and win a Super Bowl. Nightmarish. You can only keep so many. Ask Pete Carroll about that and see how many super bowls he's won since he had to bleed off good players. ...and every team has 5th round pro bowl players. Heck, our QB is a 6th rounder.

BaaadThingsMan Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 That's insane. That is an extra 17 players off of the board before we get our two 5th Round selections. ding ding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle didn't get there by having 12 picks in one draft. They got there by being smart with who they chose -- then they had to make tough choices regarding who they kept vs. who they let go. I didn't say anything about Seattle's last 5 years and whether I want the Bills to have that kind of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 At least Cleveland has a plan, but they are now approaching over-kill territory. When you have that many picks their value starts to decline.and what plan is that? Let go of every player with any sort of talent and collect draft picks and cap space,then pray some of those picks turn into good players and grossly overpay for FAs to convince them to sign for a team that has been a complete dumpster fire laughingstock since they were brought back in the league? How could that plan fail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
