RockPile007 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's a pay-to-see piece, but if this is true, tomorrow could get interesting! Not sure if I'm for a trade up. They'd be paying what they'd pay for Peters. Eh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I really don't think the Bills will move up more than a few spots. But if Monroe drops to 7 or 8, then I could see them making a move because it would not cost that much to go up 3 spots. and the salary demands would be much less than if he went in the top 5. If they pulled off a move into the top 5, the cost would be outrageous in terms of picks and salary. A top 5 tackle would make close to what Peters got, that would really be stupid.

RockPile007 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sure would. We'll see. Hopefully our OT-TE-OLB needs are all met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than what Peters got. Last years # 5 overall pick got a 5 year - $51 million contract with $23 million guaranteed. And you can expect that number to go up 5-10% this year. The #8 spot is where the Top 10 becomes somewhat affordable, last years #8, Derrick Harvey, received 5 years $33.4 million, $17.177 million guaranteed. And then #9 takes another nice dip down (Keith Rivers, 6 years - $23 million, $15.6 million guaranteed). With all that number crunching, my conclusion is: Do not trade up for anything past #8 and #9 is another $10 million cheaper than #8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's a pay-to-see piece, but if this is true, tomorrow could get interesting! Not sure if I'm for a trade up. They'd be paying what they'd pay for Peters. Eh.. I'm not at all convinced that money was the issue with extending Peters. I think his attitude and posturing had far more to do with him being traded than the dollar figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If they truly wanted to get a stud left tackle and trade away picks to get him, they should have just kept Peters. A move like this doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Bills fan Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If they truly wanted to get a stud left tackle and trade away picks to get him, they should have just kept Peters. A move like this doesn't help. Peters was a stud 2 years ago. He was a prick going into last season and then disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The only player I would consider trading up for, if I got to decide. Still, I think you probably end up getting more overall value. by staying at 11 (or even moving down a little, and getting an extra pick). But, Monroe is the OL I like the best, for the Bills, in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
