Exactly. Lots of teams do this and it is the difference between going for it this year or waiting another year. It’s not outside the realm of possibility. I’m not sure why people are so terrified about giving up a future first if we are ready to win now. I’m sure the Steelers aren’t upset about giving this year’s up to get Minkah Fitzpatrick.

I was talking to another poster about this idea last night and I could see this as something Beane might be willing to do. With the way this team is built and the AFC East finally appearing to be up for grabs, Beane might view this roster being a few players away to win now. Here’s my idea...what if we took the top DE or OT on the board at 22 and trade next year’s first and one of the extra 5ths this year to get back in the bottom of round 1? At that point, we could take either DE or OT (whichever we didn’t address at 22) or WR (whichever one starts to fall). We would then still have our original picks minus the extra 5th. Beane can realistically look at this team as being highly competitive next year and having a low first anyways. It’s not like we should be giving up a top half of the draft first rounder. We could get two guys this year who we can control for 5 years at positions of need.

If you can’t see the obvious differences then you can’t be helped....

I really hope we go OT in round 1...

This is pathetic. So I guess they are the same guy right? SMH...

Derp... You’re completely clueless if you think Allen and EJ have anything in common other than they both play qb dnd were drafted by the Bills, then I have nothing for you...

Didn’t know I owed you an explanation. Besides...I did answer. I said compared to the others I’m not as impressed.

I seem to have struck a nerve, eh?

When compared to the others, I’m not as impressed.

Not impressed with Reagor at all...

They better figure out the clock graphic for the WR group. It’s pretty much the reason so many people are tuning in...

“Ruggsy”?

Not happening man. Over 10” hands. 42” vert. If he runs anything under 4.4 he might be looking at WR1... So cliche...and annoying...

Yes he did...

With Allen he’s darned if he does and darned if he doesn’t. When I listened to Palmer saying that I knew this would be the exact reaction from some of you. SMH...

Palmer said he believes Allen will be a top ten deep ball thrower next year because his pattern has been when he sees a problem he corrects it. Said Beane and McD are the right guys for Allen. Mentioned that Allen wants to be a Bill his entire career and he wants to be great. He’s been working his tail off since he got there and Allen and Buffalo are one of the all time great fits. Good stuff. I recommend listening to it.

Pittman had a nice day. His hands are a little smaller than ideal but he’s a little taller than Higgins and has good bulk and a nice wingspan. He’s my guy in round 2.

Why does this thread exist? Hasn’t this horse been beaten already?

Ford played almost entirely at guard in college until his senior year. He was one of the best guards in the country. His footwork isn’t quick enough to handle fast edge rushers and that was evident. There is nothing wrong at all with moving him inside to his best position. By going after a true RT, our line solves two needs with one addition. I don’t see how this is a bad thing.

No. If we go Lineman, it will be a RT IMO. That way they can move Ford inside.

Yeah because a guy they picked up off of waivers and offered a prove it deal is equal to two guys that were hand picked as first rounders at premium positions. Come on...

I really like Lamb...but no. No way. We need to get a WR with reasonable value where we currently sit. Either that or a slight trade up in the second. This draft is too deep to make an aggressive move in round 1. Can you imagine how much pressure Lamb would have on him if we made a move like that?

OP, you make it sound so simple. Just because we “might” want a certain TE doesn’t mean we can get them. There has to be interest on both sides and in some cases, the player you mention is already under contract with another team. Not so easy...

I disagree. I don’t think we have many “holes” at all. We need depth at certain positions, but we’re not devoid of talent. WR is a little different because we have our solid #2 and our slot guy. We need a 1. With that said, I think we should stay put at 22 and see who falls. If we go another position at 22 then a trade up in 2 is definitely on the table. Either way, we need to come away with a top receiver in the first 2 rounds.

And I’m glad you’re finding humor in being a ****. Carry on...
