Rigotz Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Bills wanted Lattimore before the Chiefs trade (according to multiple sources). So, would you rather have Lattimore or White plus next year's 1st from the Chiefs and an extra 3rd round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D521646 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 White, unlike Gilmour will not screw you in pass defense. he's a solid corner, not flashy just gets the job done. I'll take him and another first and 3rd this year. It was a good call. Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Picks are great if you haves FO that knows what its doing. This.... If Whaley is making the selections or even McDermott, we all know what Whaley's version of a franchise QB is (EJ, Cardale) and do we know if McDermott knows what a franchise QB looks like? We can only hope so but if we get it wrong again then what good were these picks we just got? On the positive side they could actually hit on the QB then of course it was all worth it.

Rigotz Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 So, you guys are all pessimistic about what our two 1st round picks are going to be a year from now?Sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI_Bills Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Picks are great if you haves FO that knows what its doing. So we should forfeit all of our picks until you like the FO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 For some of us, this argument does nothing to address the real frustration we have with this frustration: The cyclical drafting habits and lack of a long term plan. It's nice value, sure. I'm happy they got what they wanted and all that, but there is a real lack of planning going on here. Whaley drafted Gilmore, decided not to re-sign him, but then waited until after he didn't re-sign him to draft his replacement. I'm not sure what the plan was with that exactly. Waste a top 10 pick on Gilmore and go all-in with that for four years? What was the point - there's still no resolution at QB? It's a waste. It's all been a waste. It shows no foresight and don't tell me I haven't been saying this since the Winfield > Clements > Greer carousel started. This franchise has overvalued CB and RB in the draft and has suffered tremendously for nearly 20 years because they haven't had a consistent plan. If Tyrod Taylor really is the plan, then call me in three years and let's talk about how many playoff games we've won. Andy Reid could have been wrong about Mahomes, I don't know... I didn't follow the draft as closely this year, but if he's right it will just be another classic Bills draft hilarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinxedBill1 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I think with the D we will run, this is the better deal. More draft capital plus a solid, versitle corner for your secondary. Also got a 3rd too. I wanted Lattimore but this is the better deal no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) This franchise has overvalued CB and RB in the draft and has suffered tremendously for nearly 20 years because they haven't had a consistent plan. There's no data that supports this. It's been talked about on here quite a bit that the perception doesn't actually match the amount of draft capital the Bills have spent on certain positions compared to other teams.

Looks like a plan to me...we had Gilmore for 4 years...he was decent...now we don't have to pay him top dollar and we draft his replacement. And pick up a first and a 3rd while doing it. Do you guy not get we just picked up 3 players for trading back 17 spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If the pick was Lattimore, great move down. The question is why leave Reuben Foster on the board ? Take him and get a DB in round two that's just about as good as TW. This team needs difference makers in the front seven and solid players in the secondary. Set themselves up well, then screwed the pooch taking a CB and not a stud like Foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
