He might go this if they are super keen on a guy still there and to get ahead of Eagles.. I would be surprised if he gave up more to move up for a WR but I'll wait and see... Dont forget the pick he traded to move up for Edmunds was 65... we don't have many true needs, many can potentially be solved in UFA. Many of the later rounds picks won't make the team either. I'm not saying we should definitely trade up either, I would if the player is available at realistic pick (I'm not trading up #2 for Young) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Junction Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 26 minutes ago, Reed83HOF said: the gap between the top 3 and the rest is pretty big and #22 is a tough spot to be in, most likely yes WRs drafted in later rounds will develop nicely, but they will take more work and very likely more time (1-2 years), which shrinks the impact they can have this season and help us understand if Josh is the guy or not. Diggs makes a lot of sense, mainly due to his young age and he is proven... There are a few others that could potentially start day 1, but they don’t check all the boxes. Van Jefferson and J Jefferson for example could be plug and play. Flipside is high floor, lower ceiling. Reagor can probably start, but he’s similar to John Brown. Shenault and Bowden would instantly take McKenzies spot, but they’re likely not day 1 outside receivers. 22 might be a rough spot to be for WR. Of course, Beane could always go another rout if talent drops. Hopefully some of these WRs separate themselves during the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats maybe true, but their trade value is limited ... Picks 155, 167, 188, 201 and 207 have a combined value of about 90 points on the draft chart which is around the value of Pick 103... Given that they have done Ok drafting in the later rounds , I'd rather they throw a few darts and see if they can get a hit or three..

Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: I think if both Lamb and Ruggs make it to Denver at 15 we should seriously consider trading up to 16. It would probably take our 2nd. I love both of those prospects so much, part of me wouldn't even hate trading next year's 1st if that's what it takes to get above Denver. I know people would hate it because of how Sammy Watkins worked out but both Lamb and Ruggs are better prospects than he was IMO. One thing to watch is what moves Beane makes after the start of the new league year. If he makes some trades packaging players with late round picks for earlier round picks, well, we’ll know he wants draft ammunition to move around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving up in the first to get a desired player carries more risk. and Bill lose their leverage in later rounds an perhaps into next season, Trading up in the second is more palatable. Now that Bills are picking later in the round, we need to be more cautious than aggressive please. Thats said?

Maybe Beane goes after Greene if Cincy can’t lock him up, or pulls a trade off for someone we aren’t even thinking about yet. I think Beane is hesitant on drafting wideouts high because he knows they take awhile to develop. I’m not saying it won’t happen, I am making assumptions based on what I have seen thus far from Beane. I do want AJ Green but I suspect Cincinnati won't let him go. There aren't any #1 WRs that will be available in free agency so it's either cross our fingers that Green or Diggs become tradeable, or we draft one. Beane has said over and over again that he needs to find a weapon Allen can trust on every down. Lamb is that weapon. He has insane catch radius and YAC ability. Supposedly he is very competitive too. If we have an opportunity to draft him I don't think Beane will hesitate to trade next year's 1st. This is the year to win. We can't hedge our bets forever. Ruggs I would also like a lot, probably not enough to sacrifice the future though. I'm not sure he fits our offense's biggest need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 No. There are a ton of WR’s in this draft class that can be terrific, so trading up for a WR in this class is about the dumbest thing the Bills can do. Just have to wait and see what the Bills do in FA and the trade market to see where their most pressing needs are and if they wanna trade up in the draft or not. The Bills could easily trade up, but it’s not for a WR in loaded WR draft. That I can assure you of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this any different. This is very different. Julio Jones was a better prospect than Lamb. More importantly, the OTHER draft prospects are incredibly different. We have probably THE deepest WR class there has ever been coming up this year. Even if you don't get the top two, you're still probably going to get high impact starters throughout the first two to three rounds of the draft. In Julio's draft class? Not so much. There was him and A.J. Green, then...no one. The next WR off the board? Jonathon Baldwin went to the Chiefs at 26. Titus Young was the fourth WR off the board to the Lions at 44. Other than Torrey Smith and Randall Cobb who went in the late 2nd round, and who were never great, but more role players, there's not a single other good WR in the draft other than those top 2. If you did not get one of the top 2 WRs, you essentially didn't get a WR at all in that draft. Now, if you look at that and still think "Hmm, we should STILL pull a Falcons and make a desperation trade that we hope will work out in order to get one of the top two WR prospects of the class, when there are PLENTY of slightly lesser prospects" then there's really no hope for you as a scout, and I'm glad you're not part of the Bills' organization. Keep in mind that it's not "top two WRs," but "top two WR prospects." There's a definite difference between the two that a lot of people forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to be the one to tell JuJu that he's average at best? How about Tyreek Hill, drafted 166th overall? Stefon Diggs, #146? Davante Adams (#53)? John Brown (#91)? Keenan Allen (#76)? T.Y.

WR has become the one position where you can find great players all the way through the draft as long as you know what you're looking for. There are so many different college WRs out there that can each do at least one thing REALLY well. If that WRs skill set matches up with what you want them to do, you can have a star that was drafted late. Now let's look at the Chiefs WRs: We have Tyreek Hill drafted in the 5th round, Demarcus Robinson in the 4th, and Mecole Hardman was #56 overall. Sammy Watkins was their 4th WR, and he was drafted in the top 10.

But if it took killing a guy and paying four times the normal price, it's not worth it. If he's available at #22 and they like him, that would be great. If they want to skip up a spot or three and it doesn't cost too much, again great. But there are too many really good receivers in this draft to do something silly like give up a lot of value. 2 hours ago, Bad Things said: Tremaine Edmunds says G'day! Hmm? He said the other trades were 2nd round or below. That includes the Edmunds trade. Baltimore gave up 16th and 54th and Buffalo gave up 22nd and 65 (a 3rd rounder). He's correct. And his point stands. The Allen trade is the one where they really gave up serious value. The Edmunds trade, done with the leftovers of the prep they did to bring in draft capital for the Allen trade, was second and below that there's another fairly significant drop. Beane seems willing to give up picks, but he's pretty stingy with picks from the first couple of days.
