Eh, this is very subjective and very little people in the nfl would agree with this. White is working his way back from a major injury and plays against number 1 receivers. Douglas is their number 2 cb, solid if unspectacular pickup. But I’d million times rather have Tre than Douglas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appoo Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 But let's not downplay the 3rd round pick. In my view, 3rd and 4th rounders are hugely important, moreso for Cap control than added value onto the field. The Bills have at least 2 starters from the 3rd round this year. Bernard and Spencer Brown. Bernard has been well above expected, but just pretend he was a replacement level player for his position just as Spencer Brown is. Meaning straight average. Good enough to start. Their REAL value is that those two dides have a combine 2M in cap hit, and the Bills don't have to spend 15M in veteran money for those two spots. So if the Bills got another replacement level start from a 3rd round pick in 24, that's a 6M cap hit the Bills are eating for Douglas. So that's the value trade Beane had to make. Not easy, but hopefully worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't got the chops to make your own points. OK, so then you have no solutions. My point, genius, is that if there's an easy answer out there, it should be fairly simple to point it out. Which offensive players were traded, and who would you have liked from that list? Seems like a simple question, yet here you are, scratching your chin over it. No, I think it's more likely you just feel like complaining. I mean, man up and own that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Bills fan, Mecole Hardman is like the fine wine you pair with the Kadarius Toney entree.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Not a bad deal. Starting caliber player for an effective 4th. Almost no cap hit this year, and will be going into a contract year with 0 guarantees next year. If we like what we see, the Bills have a ton of leverage to get him on a new deal. If we don't we can cut bait with no strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They assume coverages/ defenses. They don’t fact in game situations (like the Pack losing a lot this year) and don’t adjust for receivers you’re covering (Alexander is their number 1 cb). It’s a nice tool I guess but can be all types of misleading. that said, if there is one area where I will blindly trust McDermott is defensive back. I wonder what the price for Johnson was?

Art in PNS Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 16 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: I'm assuming this is the Bills 3rd round pick and not the expected comp pick for Edmunds. I don't think they officially know if they will get that comp pick or not yet. Is that correct? So looking at finishes the Bills #rd will be closer to an Early 4th rounder and the Packers 5th will wind up being closer to a late 4th so to me is a player and swap of positions in the 4th rather than what sounds like a 2 round difference. I think its a good deal as long as he renegotiates 2024 salary . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
