Buffalo_Stampede Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 6 minutes ago, Einstein said: Beane strikes again. He means what he says when he talks about being conservative and building to be "good" every year. Unfortunately, that also means rarely ever making a splash and going for it all. Did you see how he talked about the 4th round pick he gave up last month to move up in the draft? You would have thought he was talking about giving up his dog. He seemed so solemn about it. Quite frankly I'm shocked that he ever built up the balls to trade for Diggs. For me it’s Hopkins or an edge player. I think both impact equally depending on who the edge player is. Do this wouldn’t flip me out but we need to make one more move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then Schefter went on to list the reasons that myself and others have already made about paying other players next year. Not sure why the Bills would be worried at all about paying Oliver or Davis… let me both walk. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Cleveland does have more cap space than us. Cleveland doesn't have much cap space either, but Watson and Hopkins were amazing together for a few years. Not sure how he fits with Cleveland signing/drafting a lot of receivers this offseason. I think they've added 4 receivers this offseason.

Part of it may have been waiting on the right fit. If teams aren’t offering starting jobs just wait for the right job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 15 minutes ago, Einstein said: In a league that lacks quality o-line talent, why was he still available this late in the offseason? From what I’ve listened to.. he’s not really a swing tackle. Primarily a RT only. If teams aren’t signing him to start, I doubt there’s a huge market for a swing tackle that can’t really “swing”. Makes sense for us given the high ceiling/low floor of Spencer Brown, and maybe Bates becomes backup C/LT with Shell as the insurance for Brown? Just giving my best guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 10 minutes ago, Einstein said: I mentioned Diggs in the post you quoted. Did you bother reading the entire thing? Great. So in 6 years of being GM, he has made TWO big moves. You have a telling proclivity to cherry pick certain points, and ignore others. Example: Admitting to two big signings, and ignoring the numerous other moves that built a team coming off a 17 playoff drought, to a perennial playoff contender. Also: Quoting most of my post, but omitting the part where I called you silly (only to then immediately prove the point). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineforty Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 1. I am definitely in for Hopkins and think he makes us better. 2. I like Davis. I think he makes us better, regardless of Hopkins landing spot. 3. Many are overrating how good Hopkins is and was last year. Top 10 WR he is no longer. My questions: What would Davis garner in a trade this offseason? During the season? What is his value if you are an interested GM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are both # 2, #3, excellent comments and your question is key, how much would Davis get us in a trade. If not much, the point of trading him is moot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
