That might not be on your roster after this season. Not sure as quite a few posters, including me, might be upset if we didn't have Walker or Hawes this season. 

 

I would have swapped a 3rd for a 5th maybe a 6th which is equal to about a 4th or late 3rd rounder. But I think what NOLA was clearly looking for in a trade was volume of picks. NOLA is going to be in a really bad cap situation next season. They need to hit on a lot of draft picks in short order. Getting 2 more picks in the mid-rounds helps them a lot more than swapping up a later pick into the back of the 3rd round. I think the Bills were more interested in swapping a pick to keep their pick volume the same but lower the quality of the picks. Whereas NOLA probably wanted more pick volume. Seattle clearly wants to give Darnold the tools he needs and got him a weapon.

 

The Bills just didn't get it done for a WR at the deadline. I think that could prove costly but also means they like what they have enough to not overpay for a WR. I think D-line they could have added a back end rotational piece but they only lost two D-line longer term and one in Oliver is coming back possibly end of December to mid-January range and they were already very deep along the D-line. I doubt the teams fortunes are won and lost by not adding a Harrison Phillips to the D-line to eat some snaps on the back end of the rotation. But WR to me was a big need, we will see if that happens to hurt them in bigger spots.

Really disappointed the Bills couldn't swing this trade. 4/5/6 round picks... really!!

probably a nice player for them... not sure he moves the needle much.
