Buddo Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think a lot of it has to do with having far better depth, generally. This leads to interest from other teams, and they are often willing to part with a lower round pick to get someone they like, rather than risk not getting them through the waiver wire.

They could winters at a discount if we think he’s unlikely to start and of no more value than, say, boettger.

I agree and they are going to give Espenesa a lot of time, they considered him a potential 1st rounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Will he make a trade...?, if the opportunity for a real benefit to the team presents itself you can be rest assured that Beane will pull the trigger, but we know that waiver claim order and an other teams needs will go a long way in dictating how such a transaction will work out. If a team needs one of our potential cuts and can’t compete on the waiver process then a trade is more likely. It will be interesting to watch how things unfold. Go Bills!!!

Jmo of course And it's going to be a strange draft with little or no 2020 tape on guys. That means valuations are going to be all over the place and there are likely going to many many more high pick misses and low pick steals. For example, if Joe Burrow was drafted without his 2019 season there is no chance he's #1 overall pick. He'd have gone several rounds lower. It's a gamble, but if you trust your talent evaluation staff getting a bunch of mid level picks in 2021 could be very fruitful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys are ready to draft regardless of what they do this year but I understand a 7 round draft would be more of a crapshoot than normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Guys for late round pickc maybe Robert Foster (I know I know but he is fast) Duke Williams for a late rounder or maybe a little better pick in 2022 This would allow us to keep all our rooks and McKenzie who really does fit this offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree on Williams; I'd like to move him just to keep him away from the Jets. I kind of sense that we might be able to work something out with Philly w/r/t guard. Winters at $2m might look good to them if he's not going to start here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If Love and Williams look good and AJ, what about flipping Murphy? Might have to eat some of his salary, but if you could free up $5 mil and get back a 5 round or later pick, i would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's No Moon Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 On another note, when do you think they are going to start paring down the roster? You wouldn't think they'd want the extra bodies around during game week prep, or maybe they would as covid insurance. I dunno. They don't have to cut anyone until September 5 but I think moves might start in dribs and drabs sooner than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane is always trying to get something for nothing. He’s done pretty well with it. The more bargaining chips we have for draft day trades, the better I say yes. It’s what he does. He’s a witch when it comes to landing mid to late draft picks for guys who are not going to make the roster. Then he uses them to move around on draft day. It’s become a bit of a tradition, it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have some good depth, and its an areas that teams will especially struggle with. Eagles should be in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
