billsfan89 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 It’s a really nice move, solidifying the CB position this and next season. Bills still keep the same volume of draft picks getting back a 5th. I also think that while I am disappointed they didn’t also try to get a true one tech DT it must mean they like the way D Jones has been recovering from injury and think they can get him back by December and maybe fully going by January. There also may not have had much out on the market they thought was better than Ford and Settle. The Bills needed reinforcement on defense at either CB, DT and LB they got one hell of a CB to help plug one of those holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 From the Athletic. Paywall I'm sure, so I'll copy and paste the important stuff. The Bills acquired cornerback Rasul Douglas and a fifth-round pick from the Packers for a third-round pick. Why they made the move The Bills are thin in the secondary with Tre’Davious White out for the season with a torn Achilles, while 2022 first-round pick Kaiir Elam hasn’t developed according to plan. Douglas is good enough to start immediately. The Packers are shedding salary in the post-Aaron Rodgers era and are gearing up for a roster restart in 2024. They’re 2-5 and in current possession of the No. 6 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Trade grade (Bills): A They’re still in a win-now mode, and they’re going to have to get through a gauntlet of high-powered AFC offenses if they’re going to reach the Super Bowl. Douglas has some versatility and should fit nicely into Sean McDermott’s defense. The 29-year-old is a playmaker who has 10 interceptions and 32 pass breakups over the last three seasons. Again, with the pass-heavy nature of the AFC, the Bills were proactive about adding talent to their secondary rather than standing pat. Trade grade (Packers): B-minus It’s nice to add a third-round pick, but they weakened their secondary and surrendered a fifth-rounder to do it. It’ll help the rebuild, especially once they get Rodgers’ dead money off the books, but the Packers essentially traded Douglas to move up about 60 picks in the draft. The situation in Green Bay has deteriorated this season, but that should be expected. The Packers were realistic in knowing they couldn’t build a contending roster with $60 million in dead cap space. However, the rocky development of quarterback Jordan Love for an offensive-minded head coach in Matt LaFleur is the more troubling aspect of a season that has slipped away quicker than most probably expected. By moving Douglas, the Packers have admitted they recognize the playoffs aren’t LInky: https://theathletic.com/5017781/2023/10/31/nfl-trade-deadline-2023-grades/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the Bills looked at the DT market and thought they could sign Suh or Linval Joseph who would be as good or better than any out on the trade market. Or they like how Jones is progressing from injury and think Ford and the current DT’s are good enough to bridge until then? I lean towards them sticking with what they have as that’s the MO of the front office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 On paper looks solid. Hopefully it brings results on the field. Like that we addressed a need and gives us additional depth if needed with Dane, Elam and Norman. He brings experience, leadership and has been good at getting interceptions! Like that we still retained plenty of 2024 draft capital. I worried J Johnson was gonna be more about the money than anything else. All in all glad we made a move to make the team better! If it works out that reduces the need to draft a CB in the early rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
