LIVE ***NFL Draft, Day 3, coverage at noon.

[NewEra]

Receiving 2 6th round picks in next years draft is amazing-  

 

even more amazing- we traded down with the Texans and the rams- both likely to be picking at the top of the round, almost 5th rd picks

10 now next year.   Volume to play

Expand  

Not to mention that we came into this draft one pick short and traded one to move up in the first round. Great stockpiling!

Yes, I'm sure the excess of 6th & 7th round picks next year will really put us over the edge! 

 

I don't really care much tbh, but still, figured they'd at least want some fresh prospects to at least add depth or compete in camp. We were cap strapped this offseason, didn't make any big moves, and the team obviously needs more to advance, but yeah... not going to overreact over a 6th round pick either way.

Expand  

Maybe they're just thrilled with the haul so far

9 picks next year - pretty cool.

Beane's going to need him some late-round rookie contracts to navigate the cap, and avoid having to hand out signing candy to priority UDFA's.

They'll help us move around the draft board next year. Better than drafting guys we'll cut in August 

[Warriorspikes51]

DaQuan Jones should be extended immediately

The Bills can use the sixth's to trade up or trade for players, though. I highly doubt The Bills will use all of them on picks.

For real. I get that its a cliche. But the difference is staggering.

I'm fine with stock piling picks for next year when we'll have more available roster spots.  I've got a spread sheet with the Bills current roster plus the new additions and there is no room.  Presuming all the rookies make the team, we are going to have to cut some name players.  

Expand  

Rookies don’t always make the team.  Not unheard of.

[Yantha]

I'm out I'm out.....  lol.

 

I'll just check back in an hour.

 

Go Bills.

I am really curious how Beane plans to trade down from 252

Expand  

 

It's trading out of 259 that takes a real shrewd GM.

No but we also know that Beane has the itch to trade up so it protects them next year from ending up with 5 picks like this year

With this years class, UDFAs are probably every but as good as late round draft choices.  No difference.

[2020 Our Year For Sure]

Apparently Houston has traded pick 230 twice! Never heard o that.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion this means we're loading up on picks specifically for Hopkins.

 

Next year's Draft is universally considered to be a deeper class. So if someone wants to give us a 7th and a 6th next year in a better class for our 6th this year, it's a no brainer.

 

Plus, Beane likes to move around the board. Extra ammo facilitates moving up if he wants next year.

Expand  

 

Beane's already burning up the phone lines to trade up next year. 

[Warcodered]

I like that we got those picks from the Texans and Rams, they have a good chance to suck this year.

[bearcat]

Now I want Beane to trade to the last pick. Kinda want Mr irrelevant

Jets apparently like Kuntz. Who knew?
