Special K Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I can see scenarios where the Bills could either trade up or trade down in the 1st and 2nd round, however this question is regarding trade ups. IMO, I think it is a no-brainer that the Bills will try to trade up in the 2nd round....they have enough draft capital to facilitate moving up, and the value at pick 60 does not coincide with the positions the Bills will likely want to fill in the draft. I predict a move up of 10-15 spots in the 2nd to either snag a WR if they go Defense at 28, or to grab a difference-maker on Defense if they get their WR in round one. What do you think?? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Neither. To move up 10 spots in the 2nd round the Bills would have to give up both 4ths and a 6th. That would leave Buffalo with 30, 50, 2 5ths , 2 6ths and a 7th just can’t see Beane doing it. What I can see is Buffalo making a move into the 30’s picking up an early 4th or 3rd and than maneuvering up whether for another 3rd or moving up in the 2 Edited March 28 by gonzo1105 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading next year’s high picks sounds like a good idea until next year when you realize it wasn’t worth it and you need that pick back. The draft, even the first round, is too much of a crap shoot to trade future picks. The idea is to keep finding Matt Milanos and Terrel Bernards and make the best of your high picks each year. The Bills might try to get back into the third this year, but I don’t see them using next year’s picks to do it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Yes. IMO Beane’s joking comments about taking WR in every round…. he MAY be willing to push chips in 2025 1st, 2nd may be used to move up in 1 or both rounds. Beyond trading for Diggs with a 1st, we’ve never invested premium picks at WR this year is the year with value + need to go after the position very aggressively Beane should approach the draft as if the WR depth chart looks like this Samuel Shakir Diggs is 50/50 gone between now and next summer. Hollis is a good depth player short term. Shorter is a ? if he makes the 53 Edited March 28 by Warriorspikes51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I think either/both are possible. If one of the big 3 WRs slips to 9, I believe that the Bills are going to try to move all of the way up. If Thomas slips, I could see them trying to go up 7-8 spots. Otherwise I think they stay or go back in the 1st. I think in the 2nd it will be a defensive player. It could be on the DL or a safety. Depending on the board, they may slide up depending on who slips. If someone like Chop Robinson is on the board in the early ‘40’s, the Bills will be looking to go up. They have 11 picks. They won’t pick more than 7-8 guys at this point. They also won’t hesitate to use future capital to get a potential star. They don’t have enough top of the roster talent.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I think the smart move is to stay pat at 28 or Trade down a little bit from there to try and pick up a 3rd or another 4th that we can use to get back up into the 3rd. The only issue with that is finding a partner that wants to move to 28. Prevailing thought is that the type of guys left at 28 aren't too dissimilar to the types of guys you'd find throughout Round 2. And that the real depth of the Draft is in the 2nd and 3rd tiers that spread multiple rounds. If that's the case, it may not be as easy as the Trade Down crowd makes it out to be to find someone who will give up multiple mid rounders for 1 guy still on the board at the end of Round 1. But, anyways, I think the move up makes more sense in Round 2. Getting a difference maker that can play right away at WR (if we were to go DL in Round 1) or DL (if we were to go WR in Round 1) is a dubious proposition at 60. Probably need to get up to at least the middle of Round 2 to secure someone there. In a perfect world, it's a small trade down from 28 (unless someone has fallen) and then a trade up from 60. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general feeling I'm getting reading things and listening to people as we get closer is that the first 3 will be gone in the first 7-10 picks and that it's likely that both Brian Thomas Jr. and Adonai Mitchell will be off the board by 28. After that, the feeling is that there's upwards of 5-10 guys that are lumped together in that 3rd Tier that are all very similarly ranked, depending on the type of WR you're looking for. KC is going to get a guy just as we will. Just have to accept that and get over it. You can't let fear that the guy they're going to get may end up better than the guy we're going to get dictate what we do on Draft Day. There's no guarantee that us moving up to take a WR higher than the 28 is going to yield better results than the guy they could get at 32 or later. Especially when that 2nd-3rd Tier of WR is so deep and so close to each other in level of talent per prospect. At Pick 30-40 - you're still going to get a guy worth taking at 28. All of Xavier Worthy, Xavier Legette, Ladd McConkey, Keon Coleman, and Troy Franklin aren't going to all be gone in a small move down. Hell, the guy that Beane prefers there may still be available to him in a small trade down. I have my favorites, but there isn't a ton separating the guy at the top of that list and the bottom, in terms of talent and ceiling level of development. And there isn't a ton separating those guys from guys like Roman Wilson, Malachi Corley, Ja'Lynn Polk, Ricky Pearsall, Tez Walker, and Javon Baker. Long story short, I disagree with the idea of panicking over what KC might get and giving up other assets, especially 60, to take a guy slightly higher rated in prospective projection over the opportunity to add more pieces similarly ranked in rebuilding our roster. If someone like Thomas or Mitchell comes within striking range and Beane really wants him, i'd have no problem with him going to get them. But ideally, you have 3 picks between Day 1 and Day 2 and you use later picks to move around and take 3 guys you really instead of just 2. 3 hours ago, Warriorspikes51 said: I want both LSU WR’s.

wolfpack78 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I foresee a trade up if Odunze or Thomas falls within reasonable striking distance. If that doesn’t happen, then trading back and back up in a separate deals to get two picks in the 30s/40s and come away Leggette and then another WR or DT depending on value.

Outmaneuver teams like Minnesota trying to get to the same area for a QB. c.) Get a team that needs WR to pass on a generational talent like MHJ or Nabers.... Would be astronomical! This ain't no "just meet the chart and it's done" type of move.

YattaOkasan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I think its 4th or 5th rounds. Trade back to get a 3rd seems more likely than ever. Then bundle picks to maximize number of picks in the top 100. we could get good talent at multiple positions that could use an investment (WR, T, iOL, DT, DE, CB, S). DE is really the tricky one cause it sorta needs a first round pick to have a good shot at providing impact. Commanders 40 and 78 for 28 and 144 seems pretty good for me. Then we could have 40, 60, 78 with 128 and 133 as opportunities to move up if you bundle late picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 normally i would say more likely to move up in first......but losing that 3rd round comp pick threw a wrench in beane's plan. currently bills pick #28th. if we used our 2nd round pick (which is highly UNlikely) we could move up 11 spots, all the way to #17 (jax). if we used a 4th round pick....you can move up 2 spots in the first (not much, but possible). a 3rd would have moved up 5 spots. there is so much value in a 2nd round pick (talent/cap hit)...i cant see beane giving that away....if he did it would only be for a WR1 (preparing for life after diggs). this year id say beane tries to use both his 4th's to move up in each of 1st & 2nd (BPA - WR1, EDGE, OL).....but stays at #28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed Hollins to play Special Teams and backup outside and they have Justin Shorter coming back to try to make the team. If they take a second Wr in the draft, that guy likely won’t see the field and would have to have value on special teams. You could be right, but I don’t think the cupboard is as bare as many seem to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 20 hours ago, gonzo1105 said: Neither. To move up 10 spots in the 2nd round the Bills would have to give up both 4ths and a 6th. That would leave Buffalo with 30, 50, 2 5ths , 2 6ths and a 7th just can’t see Beane doing it. What I can see is Buffalo making a move into the 30’s picking up an early 4th or 3rd and than maneuvering up whether for another 3rd or moving up in the 2 I can. We do these terrible draft day maneuvers to move up or down a handful of spots. Whenever we move up it seems we have to overpay and whenever we move down it seems we get the minimum. We gave up a 4th rounder to move up two spots to select Elam, Moved back twice in the second round for a total of 6 spots getting two 6th round picks. We gave up a 4th rounder to move up two spots to get Kincaid. Even though it looks like he'll be a good player, i still hate that value. If two 6th round picks can get you 6 spots int he second round, just try to do that or move up int he 3rd every year. If we can get 3 starting caliber players out of a draft and once in a while get one stud every two years, that's a good standard bar. If we want to build a SB roster while paying a $55M cap hit for a QB, we're gonna need 3 studs every two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
