Bills trade Sammy Watkins to Rams for CB Gaines, 2nd rd pick

Matthews does not suck. Clearly the Bills prefer WR's who stay healthy and produce. Over 800 yards and 65 catches in each of his first 3 years.

You are right, Matthews does not suck. He is a decent slot receiver. Very exciting!

They can trade both 1st's and a 2nd and a 3rd and still have a pick in rounds 2 and 3

And you think they can find a #1 receiver and another starting CB with those picks?

 

Let's not also forget Kyle is most certainly retiring after this season. They have holes at LB.

 

This team is now MASSIVELY talent deficient.

And tell me, when is the last time you were actually happy with a season's worth of on-field production from this "one of two best offensive players"? Go ahead, I'll wait. With Sammy, it has always been about the prospect and potential of what he can do, and aside from a good/great game here and there, it has never been about what he has actually done or contributed to this team.

 

That's easy: I was really happy when they actually targeted him in the passing game (i.e. the final 9 games of 2015) and he was the most productive WR in the NFL during that time.

 

If you want to say that he wasn't a fit here because they don't throw the ball enough, fine, I can at least accept that line of logic as being somewhat salient. To say that he hasn't produced when given his opportunities is patently false.

I think they can find starters in rounds 2 and 3 and also address the other needs in free agency as the Bills will have a lot of cap space to work with next year especially if the Bills don't bring back TT

Short-sighted. Check back at the end of the season. I bet it is very obvious we got killed in this trade.

For the systems we run Gaines and Matthews are good fits. I'd imagine the difference in production (if there is any) is minimal compared to Sammy and Darby. Throw in the value of the picks and I don't understand why anyone is upset.

I'll ask again.

If they are moving up for a Qb that'll be giving up picks they have acquired. They will draft a young guy who fans will demand start. There won't be patience. Who the heck is this young QB going to throw to? Shady will be a year older, Cog will be a year older. Wood is probably gone.

This seems like a plan to set up a young QB to fail.

The parts around a QB are MUCH easier to come by than the actual QB. That said, no guarantees you guess right on the QB, but that's the heart of a team. Without a QB there is little to no hope.

Can someone that's watched Gaines explain why a short-armed, small-bodied CB is a good fit? I really hope it's not just because he can tackle.

Well you have more faith than I do.
