Pete Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 In 1985, the Bills used 2nd round pick(42) on WR Chris Burkett, and 4th round pick(86) on Andre Reed. Also a 5th on WR Jimmy Teal. I wouldn't mind spending a 2, 4, and 5 on WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn- Smoky, Beasley, Ruggs, Aiyuk, Claypool-our offense could be amazing! (and we still have 5-9 more picks, and $80 million in cap!)

ehfeuh57 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 A lot of chatter about us drafting a tier 4 WR at 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Im curius to see who they bring in FA. I believe they go edge or LB in round 1. Day 2 i think they get multiple skill players on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Looks like the most viable path to Lamb would be Cleveland at 10. The draft trade chart has 10 as an exact value match to 22, 54 & 86. Honestly, I pull the trigger on that if I am the Bills, but not if I’m the Browns. Seems like too steep of a talent drop off from 10 to 22 unless I know I can get back up reasonably. Still, if I’m the Browns I would try to get 22, 54 and next years 2nd at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Its going to be tricky with assessing the values. I'm sure every team will have different boards, but feels like some of these guys might be a little too high for 22, but some have little chance of lasting until 51. While most have discussed moving up in round one, I would love to see Beane find a way to have an extra second rounder. Possibly double dip at WR in the second. e.g. draft Gross-Matos in the first, and grab Aiyuk and Mims in the second. I know, pipe dream, but isnt that what the internet is for?

So use all our premium picks to move up for a WR in the deepest WR draft in memory? Hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs difference makers - especially on offense. We have plenty of cap space to fill needs with good players in free agency. Doing that alone probably gets us back to the playoffs and maybe even a win in the WC round. It won’t get us a championship though. If that’s the goal then give me some elite talent.

Especially when history shows us, that it's not uncommon for day 2 guys, to outperform day 1guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It’s cool to see but why would any NFL front office person want this to get out? What purpose would it serve? I bet NE didn’t even respond to the questionnaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one--not you, not Brandon Beane, not Bill Belichick--knows which of these guys are going to be true difference-makers in the NFL, especially when we're trying to make distinctions among the top 5 or 6 guys. The best way to find a "difference maker" is to take two or three of them with your premium picks rather than rolling the dice on one guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writers can always find someone in any organization that will give them answers because the writer will return the favor. It's obviously possible that some guys might try to manipulate it, but these types of articles come out every year and then the actual results basically match.

I wish whoever from the Bills was asked completely made up their board to confuse other teams. Less is more at draft time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
