Madd Charlie Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It will be that much sweeter when we come out of the draft with 3 or 4 guys who will contribute this year like we have every year recently. to me the real pressure is on the teams at the top. The Dolphins purged a lot of really good talent to get those picks. If they bust, especially early, they could be screwed for a really long time. I bet they are sweating bullets more than usual in South Florida. Things could get real interesting real quick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they are sweating bullets more than usual in South Florida. Things could get real interesting real quick. My guess is 2-3 draftees have impact and 4 make the team. 1 Edge, 1 RB, 1 WR and maybe a LB. I think Beane trades up in the 2nd or 3rd to get someone they really want. If not, by the 4th he definitely will. This is all they need. Any diamonds in the rough (maybe development QB) are gravy at this point. And quality FA are still out there to fill holes, especially at RB. Edited April 16, 2020 by BillsRdue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, unless we get points for a top flight NFL WR it might look bad. BUT...........we got a sure fire top flight WR. A proven player on a fair contract for 4 years. Nothing to see here. Me no clicky. We already got most of our yield out of this draft. Nothing wrong with that! Our picks got a known producer, not just a prayer at # 22. .

Mountain Man Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 It's nonsense. It deliberately ignores the fact that teams like the Bills and Steelers traded their picks for players. Tables like this should include Diggs and Fitzpatrick as part of the value 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Sal has mentioned, if before the Diggs trade we had 9 picks and still have 7, we wouldn’t be able to find spots for all of these players. My hope is however he can bundle 7 picks into 4 players, and hopefully find three that can start or at least be a rotational player. We need quality, not quantity at this point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to move up in the 2nd round, trading their 3rd rounder would move them up 16 spots. Trading their 4th rounder would move them up 4 spots. It can be done without sacrificing next year's picks but I'm not sure it's worth it. Edited April 17, 2020 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 13 hours ago, DFT said: Stefon Diggs disagrees with this statement... Yeah, this is always the rub when people rate draft results too. Do you include players like Diggs where picks were used to trade for him? What about picks given up to get a player in another year? Or picks added to other years? Sure, the Bills don’t have much draft capital left for next weekend, but Diggs is a huge addition and overlooking him doesn’t seem right either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nester Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 No Kidding, that’s how it works when you trade your first...which is a brilliant move with all the craziness and lack of info this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) It’s just becuase they are a team picking in the back third of the round without a first round pick. It skews everything. If they picked higher in the round, it wouldn’t matter as much and they would have more perceived value.

The draft part of roster building does not exist in a bubble, the chart by itself does not convey the current state of any of the teams, which reduces it value tremendously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that they will try to move up, but in my opinion they will sit tight in rounds 2 and 3 and then try to move up in round 4. I don’t think that they will be willing to give up their 3rd or 4th to move up earlier. 3 of those 7 picks are in rounds 6 & 7 and they have little trade value.

SoCal Deek Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Draft value is way overrated. I’ll take a PROVEN wide receiver in his prime over a crap shoot 22 year old any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'll take having the lowest draft capital, which is used to select unproven players (especially at 22nd overall, much less beyond), when some of it was used to get a top-10 WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakingfane Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Beane's comment about the uncertainty of developing this year's picks because of coronavirus was pretty interesting... It looks like a good draft to divest from and instead get proven players, trade up for prospects that need the least development, and hope that player development returns to normal next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
