Coach Tuesday Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) LOL. If they actually spend MORE than a single first round pick on Etienne... my hope is that Etienne is a smokescreen and they're moving up for a corner or Phillips.

TheBeaneBandit Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I believe the real target might be Harris. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Beane is a lot smarter than moving UP to craft a RB in the first round! At least I sure as hell hope he is! 7 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI Bills Fan Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 All for trading up... but not for Etienne. One of the top CBs or DEs I could see the justification in moving up for. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) I could imagine him hearing that the Bills are calling around to trade up, but how would he know who we are trying to trade up for? Is Beane telling teams why he wants to trade up? This is usual draft rumor garbage. Edited April 26, 2021 by HappyDays 16 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorquemada Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I trust Beane on this. My gut says they need a dynamic playmaker more than anything, and because of the rest of the offseason moves have the room for a bit of a luxury pick. I like Moss & Singletary but neither of them are game breakers, and neither one is keeping DCs up at night. Etienne & Harris are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 This sounds like "Bills like Etienne" + "Jets/Jags like Etienne" + "Bills looking to jump both of them" = "Bills want to trade up for Etienne" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 or Beane is calling around asking about a trade up to: 1. Gather intelligence on the cost of moving up 2. Throw up a smokescreen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I'm surprised to hear anything about the Bills' plans or movements. Beane runs a pretty tight ship on information.

Bangarang Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) I would imagine every GM in the league is having discussions about possible moves in the 1st round. Maybe ETN’s was a potential target for Beane, but I’m sure he has others as well. Edited April 26, 2021 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched every game he played in college. Never goes down on first hit, is fast enough, decent hands, and runs through people on a regular basis. When he's not doing that he's hurdling them. Some crazy stat about how many of his runs resulted in a 1st down, often times on a 1st down. Did you watch him at all? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To his point, the Bills just had the best season in a very very long time with a Defense that was only OK, and a phenomenal Offense. a few extra first downs in either of the KC games, we might have been in it at the end. Drafting the 5th best EDGE probably doesn't change that dynamic, maybe if we got a Safety or CB that could cover Kelce that might make a difference, but those guys are thin on the ground, especially at 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBillsForLife Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Normally the thought of the Bills not only drafting a RB in the 1st round but trading up to pick him would make me hysterical, but it's a huge position of need and there isn't going to be an elite edge rusher at 30, so...

I'm just pointing out that no GM goes into a draft with ONLY helping out the offense in mind. That's not his job. This isn't video games or fantasy football. The goal is to win games, whether the score be 3-2 or 100-0, Beane's job is giving the staff the right players to win more games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
