well...forget about that 3rd round comp pick


Recommended Posts

So, since we kept Ducasse, I'm assuming no comp pick?

cuts aren't done. Roster fluid and more change will likely come by Monday night. Waiver claims tomorrow accompanied by more cuts to make room. Another round of waivers on Monday.

 

That said they have until week 10 for those comp pick related cuts anyway. And it's not Ducasse on his own, it has to be him plus two of several other UFAs who were signed. And none were cut, yet.

...thanks bro for the clarification.......so DuGASSED could still be gone is a good sign....

I am going to guess Miller or Ducasse. Maybe Groy.

I wish it was Wood. I know Group is a no spring chicken but I would think we need to draft a new OC in 2019 as it is.

 

Groy is a cheaper holdover.

 

If only we got by without Glenn and Kouj didn't go nuts that'd have been great.

Sammy traded

Boldin retires

 

I really thought there was a chance that Holmes might get cut in that 3rd round comp pick formula.......I dont think that is happening now.

It doesn't have to happen til week 10...plenty of time yet...

As a general comp pick update.... Lerentee McCray does not get cut in Jacksonville (ST value).

 

Justin Hunter and EJ Manuel also survive this cut giving them a chance to bump up the list. The Steelers cut Cobi Hamilton as well as trading Coates both of whom saw some action last year. Wouldn't be surprised to see then use Hunter similar to how we did last year... red zone specialist. Brown and Bryant will be the starters obviously, but Hunter has a totally different skill set to Eli Rodgers and Heyward-Bey who are now his likely competition lower down the roster.

Looks like today, checking the over the cap site, that the Bills would have to make 4 roster moves now to get a 3rd round pick. Leonard Johnson made roster and moved up into qualifying area. On the other side Robert Blanton was cut by the Cowboys and Justin Hunter was inactive the first week.

Imagine if half this fanbase cared about wins as much as comp picks? Where else have you ever heard them even get talked about?

Ok, I'm imagining it. What now? Are you one of those people that think the fans influence a game?

 

You're right. If the fans talked more about wins than comp picks we'd definitely have a championship by now.

Do you really not think fans influence decisions made by the team? That's not even the point I was trying to make. Why are people worried about a supplemental draft pick for next year before this season even starts? Why are we going to want to give up players that can help us this season, in order to maybe get a comp pick 7 months from now? This team never drafts the right players anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to occasionally look forward to a season starting and thinking it might turn out decent for a change? Rather then think about the following offseason? It's not like we are hurting for draft picks in the next draft anyway. How about keeping guys that can help us win for a change and maybe actually winning games?

I think the point is....

 

If you are a GM, would you rather have Vlad Ducasse and Andre Holmes this year or other replacement level guys at OG and WR AND an additional 3rd round pick next year?

 

Also, I don't know how you could say this team never drafts the "right" players since the people responsible for drafts in the past are no longer with the team and it's too early to assess the 2017 draft.

I rather have John Greco & Rilley over homles and vlad

Pretty sure we have until week 10 to cut the players needed to get the comp pick.

 

And if we are out of the playoff picture by then pretty sure that will happen.

 

They'd need to cut too many of them, and hope no other teams cut their former Bills players.
