Beerball Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 IF Ellis is available with the 8th pick I would be all over Baltimore to trade up and grab that nasty SOB. I think his impact would be sooooooo much greater than anyone the Bills could pick @11 that this is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he fit our system or is he more a 3-4 guy? I thought i read that somewhere once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i read that somewhere once He does fit our system as a 3-technique DT. Too small for 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If he's there at 11, maybe, but they've already made a fairly heavy investment at the position this offseason. I would be opposed to trading up for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey? Work ethic concerns? Best CB available? 1-2 could be off the board when we pick. Best WR? May be our greatest need, but @ 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be our greatest need, but @ 11? You also have to consider the cost of trading up, which will likely be a 2nd round pick. Trading up to draft Ellis could very well mean not filling any need position with a quality prospect this year. Unless you're OK with 3rd-7th round projects at CB, WR, TE and DE, it seems like a luxury they can't afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Búfalo Blanco Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 He would be an excellent pick... and fits our system very well... the Bills should draft him if he falls to 11.... But I don't see them trading up for him... I'd consider trading up... but I don't think they will.... Explosive player, though... I'd be ecstatic if they got him!

ndirish1978 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 You mean you want him physically right? Cause he's not gonna be there at 11 To each his own I guess. I'm just not sure a message board is the most supportive place to come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grab a WR in round 2 & go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chart says that, but that's not gospel. Most teams usually want extra incentive to trade out of a high pick. And if you were the Ravens, would YOU trade Sedrick Ellis for a 3rd round pick? That's basically what they'd be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...is a move down 3 places for an extra 3rd round pick so far out there that it should not be considered? No, it is not. If it makes you feel better toss in a 2009 pick along with our 3rd.
