I feel like Beane is going to be very aggressive and try to get 3-4 picks in the first two rounds, which means giving up a fair share of those picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansLanda Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I tend to hate a trade up for anything but a QB, but I just don't see Beane drafting 10 players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Through any trade up/down scenario(s) - would be great to end up with 5 picks in top-3 rounds (quality, potential starters), and take a couple fliers in late rounds (6 & 7). Depending on the trade(s), maybe even get an extra pick for 2020. Go Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatonka68 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Bills will use picks to target specific players including a DT3 in the 1st round and then a LT somewhere in the bottom of the 1st or top of the second. After that the Bills will seek a TE & RB somewhere in the 4th & 5th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Not sure how a 6-10 team can have too many draft picks. There’s at least 7 roster spots open on the 53 man roster... a RB, a TE, a WR, an OT, a DL, at least 1 LB, and a DB. Not to mention most of the free agents signed this year are on 1 year deals. 6th and 7th round picks are more for the practice squad, so I’m not seeing too many picks.

gjv001 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 With a 6 and 10 team, I imagine there is a lot of room for improvement at every position. As the coach often says, every position is up for grabs. So bringing in 10 rookies to compete for a roster spot seems to be the least that can be done to improve the team.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I agree that 10 picks does sound like too much. I'd like to see them move up assuming we can find someone will to trade say the 5th or 6th overall for our 9th overall, plus our two 7 rounders, our 2 5th rounders, and say one of our fourths. Do you you think there'll be any takers? (Maybe Gettlemann) Assuming no one goes for that, too move up that far would likely require us trading our 2nd rounder too. So then we're left with a top 5 pick but no other top talent, don't like that option much either as do feel we way more than one player away from the Super Bowl. As has been mentioned, could use maybe four solid players from the draft. Personally I'd prefer to see us trade down to around 16, pick up an extra 2nd, then trade back to late in the 1st round (around #25) for our own 2nd, plus 3rd or even better, our own 2nd, plus our two 4ths and even throw in a 5th.. That would still leave us with 2 firsts, a second, and two fourths or 2 firsts, a second, a 3rd and no fourths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have enough ammo to get 4 picks in the first 2 rounds unless they trade a player or 2020 picks. Their extra picks this year are in the late 4th, 5th and 7th rounds and those don't buy much when trying to move up in round 1 or two. Their 3rd and both 4th round picks *might* get them back into the late 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - I could see packaging their 3rd and their own 4th to move back into the 2nd. Alternatively, I could see standing pat where they are, but trading both 4th round picks to get back into the bottom of the 3rd. I also think that there is value in having the ammo to get to the top of round 4 to get someone they might like that fell out of round 3. There always seems to be a bit of talent available at the start of day 3. Edited April 4, 2019 by OldTimer1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I think we'll see a lot of this. They will target guys they want, and move up: (Bills receive): (Zay Jones): Traded a 2nd & 3rd for a higher 2nd & 5th. » 2017 second-round pick (No. 37): Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina » 2017 fifth-round pick (No. 149) -- traded to Falcons (Rams receive): » 2017 second-round pick (No. 44): Gerald Everett, TE, South Alabama » 2017 third-round pick (No. 91): John Johnson, S, Boston College --------------------------------------------------------- (Bills receive): (Dion Dawkins): Traded a 3rd, 5th, 5th for a 2nd. » 2017 second-round pick (No. 63): Dion Dawkins, OG, Temple (Falcons receive): » 2017 third-round pick (No. 75): Duke Riley, LB, LSU » 2017 fifth-round pick (No. 149): Damontae Kazee, CB, San Diego State » 2017 fifth-round pick (No. 156): Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlonce Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) They will trade up. Way too many picks. Go for quality not quantity. The obvious is round 2 and beyond but you never know. Edited April 4, 2019 by dlonce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I definitely think Beane will maneuver around as history would suggest, and I also think he’s going to try to move up a few picks for Q. Willliams or Josh Allen. But really, is there such a thing as too many draft picks? We have to bring 90 to TC, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well any draft picks you end up cutting, would have been better to trade for picks next year. No point in drafting guys you think have zero chance so making the roster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 This notion that the Bills have too many picks, and that they need to trade them away, is ridiculous. What is better, getting a few players drafted in the 6th or 7th round, or guys not drafted who end up signing as UDFA's? All this means if they keep all the picks, is that they sign fewer players after the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The extra 4th and 5th round picks give them plenty of flexibility. Right now they have: Round 1 - i pick (9) Round 2 - 1 pick (41) Round 3 - 1 pick (75) Round 4 - 2 picks (113, 132) Round 5 - 2 picks (148, 159) Round 6 - 1 pick (182) Round 7 - 2 picks (227, 230) They could package the 2nd and 3rd rounder to move back up into the 1st round if someone falls into the 20's. Across various regimes they have moved around in the 2nd round a lot. So, if they don't move into the 1st, they could use one of their 4's to move up in the 2nd. Also, they could use the 3rd an done of the extra 4's to pick up an additional 2. For a team that is draft-pick-needy, they could use volume like a 4 and both 5's to move up/down in the 2nd or 3rd round as well. And so on... So many options. I get JW's point about the Bills being more prone to move up than down this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
