Would you trade a high 2020 draft choice for AB?

Simple question.

 

The Steelers might hold out for a high 2019 pick, which the Bills can't afford to do, since the Bills DO NOT plan on drafting in the top 10 for a long time.

 

I don't know who holds the leverage (the Steelers or Brown), but, it's apparent that Brown will not be back with the Steelers.

 

What do you guys think?

The Steelers hold all the leverage with AB, he's signed through 2021 so if he sits out he stops getting paid simple as that. I at first said I would trade for brown but yes of course anyone would love to have Brown on their roster, I just don't think that diva attitude would mesh well with Allen and just imagine if Brown wasn't getting force fed the ball every game.

I get where your coming from but, for me the pro's out weigh the con's because for #1 AB has proven he can handle the heavy load. I also think the similarities between Josh Allen and big Ben would allow AB to continue right where he left off as one of the best go to guys in the league.

 

Myself personally, sometimes a change of scenery works wonders for a fella's attitude even If he needs it adjusted a little by leaders in the Bills locker room.

 

Great players at the WR position want the football and AB has earned that right in my humble opinion.

I honestly don't understand the anatomy of the problem in Pittsburgh well enough.

 

It's not clear who's the jerk or whether they're all problem children. I'd need to do a lot more research, but since I'm not actually involved in a decision I'll spend my time elsewise instead.

He seems like a delightful human being who really knows how to treat a woman.  Also after reading many of his comments he clearly appears to be a team first player who would forgo personal glory if it resulted in a win.  In reality I agree with most of the posters on this thread.  I wouldn't want him in Buffalo even if he were willing to play for free.

No. Seen this story too many times. Guy plays amazing, then a flag pops up, then a second. Next thing you know dude is full on Marvin Harrison.

Marvin Harrison would have been seen as a process guy oddly enough.

 

I'd give up a 3rd for AB, but they'll likely get more from an immediate contender.

No.  His value is not that high.  Out right 2019 2nd or swap of firsts and that will do it.

I laugh at how so many of you think draft picks are some sacred prizes. The higher you draft, the better the chance the players pans out, the better the ODDS, no guarantees at all.  AB is a PROVEN top receiver, one of THE best. Voted #2 overall best player in 2017 by his peers behind Brady. Of course, all his other issues sure factor in the decision process. Also matter the remaining years in the contract, pay vs cap space and blablabla. But overall a 1st round draft pick is an educated gamble that you can get someone very good or great. And often that player is average or a bust. So trading a pick for a proven player? A no-brainer unless the other factors mentioned don't make sense.

Like the hall of fame wr Marvin Harrison?  One of the hands down greatest that ever played Marvin Harrison?  I like it, unfortunately Antonio suffers from a case of OLD so I would pass on that.

No to Bell and no to Brown. Spend LOTS of money on o-line and draft BPA on draft day.
