donahoeisgod Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have a sneaky suspicion that we sign/re-sign the following FAs- Chris Brown, K. Thomas, I. Scott (DT) and A-Train. Then I think Marv throws us all a curve and trades up with a 1 (#5-1200pts), 2 (#43-470-80 pts), and late 3rd (from Baltimore)(#92-130pts) to Tampa at #4(1800 pts)and the Bills take Calvin Johnson. This leaves Buffalo with the following picks: 4) Calvin Johnson 74) CB-- Jonathan Wade/ J. Wilson 107) We look to draft a 3rd Down Meggett type-RB (i.e. Lorenzo Booker from Florida State or Darius Walker- Notre Dame) 169) Depth (LB/S) 203) Depth (LB/S) 223) (from Baltimore) Depth BPA I know that everyone seems to think that Tampa will automatically take Johnson if he is there, and maybe they will. But a look at Tampa Bay's roster revelas they need more than one player as age is starting to eat away at their once proud defense. This trade gives them a boatload of picks in the first three plus rounds (12, 35, 43, 64, 68, 92, and 100) that can be used to load up on replacements for the likes of Simeon Rice, Derrick Brooks, etc. I also think they have a lot of money/ past picks tied up in WR including Joey Galloway, Michael Clayton (#1-2004) and Maurice Stovall (#2-2006). I also think that based upon Jauron and Levy's remarks about Crowell moving to MLB and the signings noted above, the Bills could make this move and still have a good LB threesome (I think Ellison will be good in his second year and Spikes can return to a passing resemblance of his pre-Achilles self), depth on the DL (assuming McCargo comes back strong) and ok in the secondary (assuming Youboty develops). I konow that it involves a bit of assumption on the Bills part but the development of 2nd year players such as McCargo and Youboty is needed whether or not we trade up. I also think they are willing to live with a RB-by-committee for at least this year, especially knowing that they have an extra 3rd next year to move around in what is supposed to be a very good draft for RBs in 2008. I know it's unlikely but can you see Calvin Johnson on one side and Evans on the other? I think JPs development would prosper immensely. Just a thought.....

Koufax Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Sure makes for a great first round pick, but not going to happen, and hurts the rest of the draft and doesn't make us the most improved team we can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 He is a great player who will be long gone before our pick (unless we trade up). At this point, we have more pressing needs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donahoeisgod Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Pipe dream.....too many holes to fill to trade away all those picks. While it might be a pipe dream, assuming the FA signings noted, what holes need to be filled by picks a second rounder # 3 and third round pick that we did not posess 36 hours ago?

But a look at Tampa Bay's roster revelas they need more than one player as age is starting to eat away at their once proud defense. You can replace the word "Tampa" with "Buffalo" and that statement will still be true. We will not giving up a boat load of draft picks to get one player. We are not one player away, not to mention the money required to sign a 4th overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Capolupo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 His username says it all.. He wants to make blockbuster picks for the sake of the players name.. You are living in a very very sheltered world if as many things go the way you dream them up in your head.. BTW, Chris Brown and Anthony Thomas are not an answers at RB, they are a temporary solution.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob2232 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 In all honesty, drafting Calvin Johnson would basically be commiting to the fact that we cant/wont resign lee evans in a couple years if CJ pans out. While it would be awsome to have them both for a couple years, im not so sure this is a good long term plan. If he falls to 12, sure (HA!)....but dont trade up for him, thats nonsense.

Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 He'll probably be picked up but someone before us. I say Tampa Bay. They need a new WR. look at some of these mock draft. Do you agree with any of them on who they think the Bills will pick? http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9999370 http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9961542 http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9999771 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
