Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 14 minutes ago, Einstein said: Would make sense they try to trade back again. They have nearly 24hrs to work out a deal. If so the trade off would have to be revisited. If they don't trade back then I would say no, it's not worth it. But then again, by making the trade you give yourself a much better chance to trade back again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBillFan Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 4 minutes ago, DapperCam said: I disagree, the Panthers probably told the Bills who they wanted to take and the Bills weren’t going to take that player anyway. This deal was all about trading draft compensation for the 5th year option. I doubt anybody did any bluffing. If the fifth year option was that important to the Panthers I wish Beane had turned the screws more than he did in return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par73 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Bills won't stop helping Kansas City. Already got them a couple SB's with the Mahomes gift. Now, they have provided them a T. Hill replacement. One team I would never trade with-- the Chiefs. Just mind-numbing. And they leave the 1st round with no receivers-- in a round where 7 were taken. There are a lot of receivers in the draft, but I don't think anyone left is a potential #1 (maybe Mitchell-- but he doesn't seem ready to take on that role immediately). Really looking forward to the 5-7 round landfall the Bills have put together. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 3 minutes ago, MikePJ76 said: apparently moving out of the 1st round has saved them over 2 million on the cap this year. Two plus Ten or so post June 1 is about 12 million, Ayuk I think due $19 million, it might happen yet think Beane has a guy he wants that still on the board and get as much draft capital he can to move up in the mid rounds or get some extra picks in 2025.

Murdox Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Once Thomas was gone, I have to admit I expected Beane to consider moving down like he has. We don't have much cap room this year, and moving out of the first round to save some cap money is one way to keep the door open to trading for one of the veteran wideouts while still preserving picks. That said, if one of those WRs that Beane passed on turns out to be a superstar, it's not going to look good. Edited April 26 by Murdox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I understand that he traded down because the Bills didn't have anyone left on their board with a first-round grade. But I hate the concept of "draft value." Draft picks don't play, players do. And as we stand right now, the Bills have a franchise QB and the worst WR room in the league. But my biggest source of anger is that Beane traded Diggs without a plan. That was a blunder. He should have done what the Bengals have done with Higgins, and told him "you have a contract so shut up and play." 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 6 minutes ago, That's No Moon said: It's not a deep draft at all. That's why they are prioritizing moving their later round picks forward. We aren't selecting additional players this year, we are just getting to pick them sooner. If it were a deep draft they'd be adding selections. Rounds 6 and 7 are basically throw aways this year. There just aren't that many guys with draftable grades this year. I wouldnt be shocked if they move down again tomorrow. I'm disappointed that they haven't been able to add an additional 3rd and have only been able to do swaps so far. Maybe tomorrow is different but I'd guess it would be another pick swap. Maybe one of the 5s to a 4 now. Didn't the Bills get the Chiefs 3rd as part of the trade for 28? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was worthy before worthy! wait, they did have him… and he didn’t even crack the roster speed isn’t everything He is nowhere near Worthy as a player. Worthy runs the route tree. I feel like I don’t need to get this far in the weeds because the comparison is lazy. Worthy is a good route runner with explosive playmaking. He is a great WR. John Ross ran a fast 40. They aren’t that close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have all day tomorrow to trade for a Vet, trade back again for a big bounty, or just take the guy you want on a cheaper rookie deal then the first round.

We are not allocating our picks to the Chiefs. We traded back because we likely didn't have first round grades left on any players. Do we take Worthy to spite the Chiefs even though the Bills didn't want a 165 lb WR??? I don't think they made the move to save money. It's simply a practical bonus. We moved back because of value...and we improved our draft position in the lower rounds. We now have three picks tomorrow night instead of one. 4 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
