But posters that didn't know who he was until this trade say he sucks, so they must be right

 

 

He certainly doesn't suck. He's just not a difference maker. Good fit - and I hoped last year the Bills would have a shot at him in free agency. Certainly wouldn't have surrendered a 3rd rd pick for him.

But we don't have white anymore.  Soooo get help and hope it works or dont get help and hope it works.  Those are the options.

You only had to say it once!!! 😂

 

my post was more because someone said it was playing better than White and will I get why fans like pff grades, they are very misleading.

My favorite way of looking at the trade compensation:

 

we got Rasul Douglas and a 5th for letting Tremaine Edmunds walk (3rd round comp pick).

 

I am assuming the Bills traded their own 3rd and not the comp pick, but it still kind of holds true since we will still have a 3rd this year from Edmunds.

They can't trade the 3rd rd comp pick since it hasn't been award to them yet so yes, it's just their normal 3rd rd pick and we will still get a comp at some point.

You couldn't have said it better. He made some big plays for green Bay when they signed him as a FA a couple years ago. He's not going to be our #1 but this is a very solid add to a room that would be crippled if 47 or 30 went down

He should end up CB2 in a few weeks

They got a fifth back...likley an early fifth 

 

Not a big deal

I think it’s solid pickup but people know pff is based on nothing really. 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? 

Johnson had two prices and that why he wasn’t traded imo.  The bears set a high price and his contract was up + he reportedly wants really big bucks. 
 

we traded down 50ish picks and got a solid versatile corner that excels in zone.

Last year we had Tre. This year if Jackson or Benford go down we got Josh Norman. This is a solid pick up and if Tre does come back, a potentially great CB tandem.

I knew I did.  You quoted me faster than I could correct it.

 

As to the other subjects, stats lie.  PFF is whatever.  QB Rating they attribute to the closest defender and don't account for scheme and where they were suppose to be playing so he looks like "meh" in those stats.

 

Just from watching him play I like how he plays.  That's my opinion on him.

Pretty sad for Elam that he’s not even mentioned here.  What a bust.

Rasul Douglas isn't the most gifted corner, but he has size, length, toughness, and a knack for making timely plays.

 

He will lose some battles, but he will also keep fighting and will make you pay if you make a mistake 

 

Bottom line is he helps and getting back a 5th makes it a fine deal

Love this trade.


I wonder by not getting a DT or LB that the bills are confident in at least one of Jones/Milano returning at some point 

Jones for sure.

 

Milano is the great mystery. You have rumors that his career is over, but then why aren't they ruling him out for the year? We also know he's back around the team.
