Brand J Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I would only stand pat or trade down. No matter how sure I may be of a prospect, or how high I have him graded, history tells us time and time again that I’m just as likely to get it wrong as I am to get it right. Almost assuredly there’ll be a guy taken after the player I select who will be even more productive at the position. That’s just how every NFL draft goes and I shake my head at the ones here who want to mortgage the future on a single player who may or may not work out. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I would not trade up for anybody in the first round. There’s just gonna be too much quality talent at 28. Round two through the end fair game 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 5 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: This has Sammy Watkins vibes. We traded up to get Watkins in a WR rich draft, that was a mistake and even though he was the #1 WR prospect that year, he saw guys go after him that dwarfed his on field production. There is no one in this draft I would make a big move to get...The ONLY position you do that for is QB. Any other position is a colossal mistake IMHO. I could see us moving up to like low 20's or something where the compensation is more reasonable, but only if a guy they covet is there who they have a significantly higher grade on than who might be there at 28. I think its more likely we stay at 28 and wouldn't even be surprised if we traded back a little bit and picked up some extra draft capital if there was say a handful of guys they liked at 28 still on the board. or is it Julio Jones vibes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: Multiple of those guys will be there at 28, so why would you trade up? Agreed. At worst, I'm pretty sure WR7 will be on the board when we pick. I don't see any chance that 8 WR's will go before 28. That said, i'd hope we would try and move up a few picks if a 6th WR came off the board a number of picks before us. In my opinion, there's a bit of a drop off in terms of what we're looking for after WR7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 We could get about 10 4th round picks for our 1st. How can you go wrong. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Super Bowls did Atlanta win with Julio Jones? How many years did Atlanta have a great offense and bad defense because they had no talent on defense and struggled to even make the playoffs or flat out missed the playoffs? Julio Jones trade is not an example of a success story when the goal is a SB win and sustained SB contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if even one of Thomas, Worthy, Mitchell, or Legette are there - you take them. There's a drop off after that in my eyes between what we're looking for and who we interviewed for the job.

SydneyBillsFan Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I am not packaging anything above a fourth rounder with 28. That would get us to 24 or 25. You are getting a really good WR there no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julio Jones trade is not an example of a success story when the goal is a SB win and sustained SB contention. It’s crazy that so many still don’t realize the difference between having the best qb in the league vs the second best in your own division and that’s maybe 10-12 in the league. Matt Ryan isn’t a guy capable of being the leader of that success. the dolphins failures the last couple years weren’t the tyreek trade, for instance im not pounding the table to make the move but if it’s netting a truly elite player im not complaining about it either 19 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: No, no it is irresponsible to be trading away that kind of draft capital when you’re going to have to start replacing your veterans with young talent due to having a franchise QB on the books Sounds irresponsible not to try your best to win one when you put it like that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
