Nervous Guy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Darby can play. Matthews isn't good. Let me ask you this: which organization is consistently better, Buffalo or Philly? I think we both know the answer to that. I don't know.....neither team has won a Super Bowl. Fairburn trade grades http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/08/thoughts_grades_buffalo_bills_blockbuster_trades_sammy_watkins_ronald_darby.html ok...we did good! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseTooth Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If Watkins proves Injury prone again this pair of trades will start to look pretty dynamite. Otherwise.... I just don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm almost liking it! The Bills are reshaping themselves. There is one vision. Not a bunch of visions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 11 winning seasons, two 8-8 seasons, and 10 playoff appearances. The Bills are ... well, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 We are looking at a possible Top 3 pick with the tank in full effect on this team. I can also see KC having a 7-8 win season which bodes well for us as well. I expect the hammer to drop on others as well like Wood, TT, Shady are all in play. The 3rd Rd comp pick will happen when Holmes, Tolbert and Hodges get cut. Quite the surplus going into next year's draft. Will it amount to anything? Stay tuned.

Crusher Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm fine with this deal...not thrilled, but ok. The Watkins trade was complete garbage, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdutton Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm fine with this deal...not thrilled, but ok. The Watkins trade was complete garbage, however. I totally agree... trading up in the draft to get Watkins was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Gaines is decent, but missed all of 2015 with a Lisfranc injury to his foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direhard Fan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I like the trades. Darby had zero picks last year and had a bad year. Who really knows how Sammy's foot is? I'm leaning toward our new coaching staff, who know a lot more about these two than us. Darby wasn't a good fit for zone. Sammy wasn't a good fit for contact. It will be a fun year for sure.

Kmart128 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 What i like most about these trades tho is they help us both now and in the future. We added high draft picks for the future. But we also get more productive players for the current team. As Gaines and Matthews have been more productive than Watkins and Darby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Sammy wasn't a good fit for contact. Lol We'll see how this grades out in a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 It basically boils down to this: If the Bills end up getting a true bonafide franchise QB next year, then the trade ends up being the best move this franchise has done in a very long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two first round and a second already. If the Bills get a true bonafide franchise QB next year the best move would have been to pair him up with a bona fide superstar WR.

If the Bills get a true bonafide franchise QB next year the best move would have been to pair him up with a bona fide superstar WR. That is if you are thinking this to be in a vacuum. There are more variables than that, maybe this trade makes us worse than we would have been, which is very possible. Hypothetically speaking, if we end up being a 4 -7 win team, that enhances our odds of getting the franchise QB that we want. Maybe with Sammy we would be a 6-9 win team, which would decrease our odds of getting that franchise QB. Either way, if we end up getting that franchise QB, most people will look back at the moves this franchise made in 2017 as the beginning of it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 People in Philly are going "Ok, seriously, what's wrong with that we don't know about? Because no one trades their #1 CB a month before the season for Jordan Matthews. I mean, he's a contributor, but we are absolutely a better team after this trade" So now we have three slot WR and no one who can stretch the field deep.
