I would do a second for Hopkins in a heartbeat. Take the TE  Washington in the first 

 

Allen

Diggs, Hopkins, Davis, Shakir, Harty, Sherfield

Knox and washington

cook, Harris, Hines 

 

that would likely be the best offense in the league

 

I may be tempted to go OL, even a 2nd round rated IOL in the 1st, and grab TE in the 3rd in this scenario, but what you described also sounds awesome/very difficult to defend.

Let’s look at WR drafted in the 2nd round the past few years… AJ Brown, Deebo Samuel, Tee Higgins, DK Metcalf, George Pickens … I’m sure there are more.

 

Are we really going to pretend that the only way to get an all-pro WR is to trade away our draft picks to get one? Or is it that you guys are completely done with Beane and think he can’t find us a good WR?

 

This is insane.

 

i don't think there are any of those sorts of WRs available in the draft this year in the 2nd.  And no, I also don't trust Bean to find a good WR.

Purdy, Foles and Brady are qbs that over achieved.   I dont expect that from Barkley or K. Allen.  Do you?

 

 

 


foles had a stretch he could never repeat. Let’s see if purdy can continue. Brady was an anomaly. Again. How many teams have two franchise qbs.

Rodgers was also an anomaly too, right?

 

Regardless, that's not the point of the comment that I originally made.

 

We are one bad play away from being in another 17 year drought was all I was getting at.  Why not protect that for as long as you can?

sorry you have to make things so personal. 

 

Oh, I see. So your original post was not personal in any way? Sure thing.

if you think me asking why we needed another thread on this topic with others agreeing with me personal then the only skin that is thin is yours. 

 

Ah, the always impressive "I know you are but what am I" response. Savage!

 

Seriously, you're telling me you look at these two posts:

why in GODS NAME!!!! did we need another topic on this? 

210 pages+ is NOT enough for you to figure this out?

 

boards are going to hell in a hand basket.

Wow, life must be pretty tough.

 

 

...and your conclusion is that the second is the totally rude and personal one while the first is just a totally innocent, objective statement of fact (nothing personal at all!). Sure. I mean, I guess if you're living on your own personal bizarro world?

 

As for "others agreeing with me" I guess I'd compare the handful of those who did with the now 320+ board members who voted in the poll and extended this thread to 9 pages. Apparently a lot more thought there was, in fact, room for another thread, your ALL CAPS bewilderment notwithstanding.

 

Again, as other have repeatedly pointed out, just ignore the thread if you don't like it. Nobody's forcing you to interact.

Yes. When we have 200 page topic on one item and I ask "why in gods name do we need another topic on this" (and people agree)  and instead of replying why, you make it a personal comment against me..

 

Just friggen stop for Christ sakes. My question wondering why we need another topic lead you to say "Wow, life must be pretty tough"  Seriously think I won't defend myself?

 

Enough....  Get over it.

Hey, I wasn't the one triggered by a new topic on a message board. Would be good if you took your own advice.

'Cause I wanted to do a poll to see where people stand on the issue of a 2nd rounder for DHop. Sorry if that offends you, but I don't think burying a poll in the middle of a 216-page thread will really give us a sense of where most people stand.

 

If you'd prefer yet another thread on someone we should or should not draft, maybe I can better serve you next time.

 

I'm not offended. Why do people automatically assume " I offended you" when asked questions like this? My God

I would do it, I like Diggs, but I don't love him.  There just something about him I'm not comfortable with.   I think having  D hop still gives us some flexibility, if Diggs files off the handle a bit.  I would try to send a 3rd and a player or 2, but nor Rouso.   Maybe oliver, Aj, or Boogie.

Again I have to ask...how would the Bills PAY Hopkins?

Yes.  Won"t we get another 3rd rounder for losing Edmunds? Almost a replacement pick for the second we would give up for a proven player. 

 

 

It's not a replacement pick. That's just a nice way of spinning things.

 

It's an entirely different pick. If we don't trade for DHop away, we would have TWO 3rd rounders. That's a LOT better than one.

 

This is simply a way to try to spin something people want. It's like people who win some money at the casino saying, "Hey, why not bet it, it's just house money." 

 

And it's not. That is a logical fallacy. Once you win it, it's not their money anymore. Assuming we will get a 3rd rounder for Edmunds, that's not a house pick. It's our pick. It's an asset that we can use to pick a player. If we trade it away, we won't have it anymore, we will have lost it, and it will not be replaced.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
