dave mcbride Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hines’ playing time/production exacted a fifth round pick rather than a sixth from the Bills. The Bills have six picks in total now - one each in rounds one through six. Definitely not great for an important draft year. The picks are all late-round ones except for the fifth rounder, which is from AZ. I have to think they’ll try desperately to trade out of the late first for more picks unless a player they love at either WR or OL falls to them. .

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I still don't see why the fifth round pick has to be from Arizona. And does that apply to the pick's school, or state of residence? 🤔🤨 * 😁 I know...New England gets a conditional draft pick because I asked... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uticaclub Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 We should use our picks to trade for proven players. I have no confidence in Beane hitting on any, let alone multiple draft picks 1 3 1 1 4 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BillsintheBurgh Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I remember just last year when we were talking about how the players we take at the back end of the draft had no chance to make this roster and we should trade up with them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. 26 minutes ago, nucci said: isn't every year an important draft year? In the abstract, yes, but if you're a built-to-win now team, It's less important when you have a ton of cap space and can spend money on high end FAs. The Bills can't do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the 5th round pick becoming a sixth was the straw that broke the camel’s back and doomed the Bills? Shirley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Beane seems to want to come away with 7 picks, the full allotment. So I am guessing he will find a way to get it back. They have some work to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It would be nice to have more picks for sure especially this year but i believe Beane will do what he does & find a handful of players that can contribute this year i just hope a few of them can be in place during OTA's & prove they are worthy starters like Teller would have been .

Cmon, this is most important draft since drafting Bruce since we need to protect the most important player since Bruce. Now that’s a new thought. Lol.

TheyCallMeAndy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) The condition was “If the player returns 2 Kickoffs against a divisional opponent while below freezing, the pick turns into a 5th” Seemed like a great condition originally.
