DJB Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) In the 2012 draft Atlanta traded up to get Julio Jones. Here is the breakdown of the deal; #6: Cleveland → Atlanta. (D) Cleveland traded this pick to Atlanta for Atlanta's first (27th overall, which later became #26), second (59th) and fourth-rounder (124th) and also Atlanta's first- and fourth-round selections in 2012. Bills are in win now mode. We need an elite WR to put us over the top. Enter one of Malik Nabers (who I prefer) or Odunze. Is the time right now to do this with Josh and our window ? Or should I put down the pipe and stick to trashing Tua? Edited February 3 by DJB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) My hope is that one of the free agent wide receivers signs a cheap prove-it deal with the Bills to get their stock up by catching passes from Josh Allen. Marquise Brown and Darnell Mooney are coming off down years with erratic Quarterback play and could add some much-needed speed to the group. I would also take the best wide receiver available at #28 or maybe even trade down if we can get some mid-round picks. This is a deep draft for wide receivers so there's no sense wasting draft capital when we also need to restock at DT, OT, and Safety.

SoonerBillsFan Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I think "Hollywood" Brown would be a good target. #Boomer! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) No way. This draft is super deep at WR. Remember when we moved up for Sammy Watkins in 2014? OBJ, Mike Evans, and Brandin Cooks were all on the board in the 1st. In the 2nd & 3rd Davante Adams, Jarvis Landry, and John Brown were all available as well. It would be insanely stupid to waste valuable draft capital in a WR class like this. Beane just needs to be smart and find the right ones.

Don Otreply Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Well, Beane does love a trade up, and I’m okay with that provided that it’s for a “sure thing”’ @ WR. Otherwise bring in a bunch of draft picks and let them fight it out for the various positions, and early season trades, or whatever’s 😁👍🍸🚬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPL Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The time to do this would have been a couple of years ago. Too many holes to fill on the roster right now to give up draft capital. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 No. The Bills have a lot of holes they need to fill. The more opportunities (draft picks) to do that the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, but we would probably have to go to pick 2 or 3 to get him, and we can't afford to give up the picks it would take to get there. We will just have to settle for Jerry Rice's kid instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 No. Way too expensive in a deep WR class. I do think Beane trades up, but not into the top 10. Super early in the process, but I think if a guy like Brian Thomas falls to the late teens, Beane starts making phone calls. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
