No actually you dont If you get a guy that single handidly can change a game for you (like Mack) then you draft that player and you use your 90 million in cap space (which they also have) to fill in those 9 holes......keep in mind they would also be drafting at the top of every round.....with 10 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the class of DL, it is very good. It’s way too early to know where they will draft or who will be there and where they will all be ranked and the amount of difference between each one. There are typically only a handle of truly elite prospects in the draft inclusive of all positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free agency is for one or two spot signings, not filling an entire side of the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 With the space we will have under the cap, you don't trade that pick. In regards to the choices, I'm good with either one if we're in the position to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are typically only a handle of truly elite prospects in the draft inclusive of all positions. It should still be a worry. This class looks absolutely stacked at DL, similar to the WR class I mentioned. Whatever flavor of lineman you want, it's there. There's Bosa, Oliver, the Clemson crew, Rashaan Gary, etc. If someone wants to pay you a premium to get to 1 TAKE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s going second rate instead of first rate. I watch a lot of these guys. If you want good and not great at the benefit of picking up more players, that’s a different story and Ive already said I’m taking offense in the 1st. But those aren’t the same prospects.

Chuck Wagon Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 2 hours ago, Fadingpain said: I'd draft a QB, especially if we finish dead last. I do wonder about the "Deshone Kizer" potential of Allen. If he looks lost and is turning the ball over constantly, meanwhile a "no doubt" QB pops (like the guy wearing #7 for OSU...) you take the QB at one. Realistically, assuming all holds and Allen shows enough to move forward with him (big assumption), the best case scenario would be the team at #3 (Giants?) giving a haul to get the QB they like, then taking whoever is there at 3 between Bosa and Oliver.

You don't trade when you can draft a player that may likely end up in Canton. Bosa is an absolute game changer. Show me where he changed this game.

Your best window to win is with a QB on his rookie deal before he starts chewing up a significant portion of the cap. Yup and build a stout Defense. Thanks for helping.

You people act like we have no cap space and the only pick we would have is 1st overall. Sheesh what has happened to TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 If we have number 1, best case scenario in my opinion is trade down to 3 or 4 pick up additional picks and take either the left over bosa/oliver if the trade up was for qb or take one of the highly rated offensive tackles coming out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have too many holes and if a deal is there which there likely will be, you trade back and get more picks. I would rather have a top ten pick, a first in 2020 and additional picks in 2019 than either of those two. Reminds me of the year we took Darius. I really wanted to trade down. I really liked Cam Jordan. JJ watt was a stud. And also thought Robert Quinn woulda looked great for the bills. Turns out Darius was the worst of the bunch and was taken first. TRADE BACK. it's like hunting with a shot gun v a sniper rifle. Considering the bills scouts are legally blind it makes that much more sense too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Oliver I’m a believer in building an elite defense from inside out ala the Bucs in their heyday with Warren Sapp and Booger Mcfarland besides Bosa kinda scares me since he just already had surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
