For me there may be a couple of players worth taking (Landon Colllins who went by the way as the 1st pick in the 2nd round but not as many as the media would like for you to believe. Hindsight is 20/20 but for the most part non of these players would have ended the playoff drought. Edited May 24, 2017 by Protocal69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Kendricks than any combination of two of the Bills current LB's Please explain how the logic is flawed when those was the players that were available. Also whats funny about your pick is that he was drafted in the 2nd round. Good player but not defensive changing especially in Rex Ryan system so he wouldn't have been the pick more than likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player but not defensive changing especially in Rex Ryan system so he wouldn't have been the pick more than likely It's excuse making at its finest. What number was the pick? Every player drafted after that should be listed, those are all the could haves should haves. While you're at it provide a list of every pick selected after the 4th round pick that was also included in the deal. It's sloppy to say the trade wasn't bad because well....other teams drafted badly. The Bills tripping on their own feet has nothing to do with the other 31 teams.

Buffalo86 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'd take Odell Beckham or Mike Evans. Blessed with 20/20 hindsight, the pick is bad even without the extra 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskingridgebillsfan Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 In my opinion the weakness of the draft played into Whaley's thinking. Look Watkins hasn't become elite , if he did we wouldn't be having this conversation. Do Falcons fans complain about the A.j. green trade ?

KDIGGZ Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Well the Falcons didn't trade for AJ Green, so that'd be silly. Haha I think he means how they traded up for Julio Jones. but that's a once in a generation type player. I remember watching the combine and I was trying to decide whether or not Julio was human. the guy was off the charts. Watkins was just considered the best young WR out of a group of really good WR's. we had a lot to choose from that year. Mike Evans, OBJ, Benjamin. trading up that year was beyond dumb but I guess the OP's point is that there wasn't really anyone good available the next year at our pick but then you just trade down and get more picks imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'd take Odell Beckham or Mike Evans. Blessed with 20/20 hindsight, the pick is bad even without the extra 1st. Give me Evans or Mack. Odell is fine without the move up, but he would be a MAJOR distraction with how many targets Sammy has seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you meant JJ. and I guarantee the Falcons fans were complaining like little Nancies here do non-stop. JJ had the exact same injury and missed similar time and posted similar stats in the exact tenure with a much more superior QB. Let's see what Watkins does this year when fully healthy.

Ramza86 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I just dont understand... Watkins on a passing team and not injured is an elite WR. Youve seen the stuff hes done when hes out there. Hell....hes even done some amazing things on one foot. You guys are ridiculous. Its just very unfortunate he cant stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes the decision to trade up for him even more ridiculous when you see that we're not a passing team and are not built to be one. We trade up for a WR then go on to be a dominant rushing team in true Bills fashion. Edited May 24, 2017 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcoam Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I got the OP's point, the fact is it was a bad draft day trade, always will be because regardless of what Sammy does in a Bills uniform, we lost another potential high profile player, plus the OP forgot we also lost a 4th rounder, on top The same could be aside for all of DW and HC Sean's trade up's, in each case we lost another player to get the one they insisted fit their system, yet the majority of these trade up's never amount to much, we will see what happens this year, and while might be monday morning QB'ing after the fact, in each case we might have been better off taking a lessor player plus the pick we traded away I sure like the extra 1st rounder in 2018 though, and wish we'd have moved back like every year, or every 2nd year, and have all these potential extra young players jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
