ANOTHER EDMUNDS THREAD!!!

Howard forced Chuck out of HHM(forced retirement), so Jimmy sees this as what put Chuck over the edge, while conveniently forgetting his role in that. As for Kim, Howard always treats her like some little girl who needs to be saved.....as a strong, independent woman, Kim does not like his "White Knight" routine. Not to mention the fact that Kim is in love with Jimmy and is currently "Breaking Bad" herself, and would share in Jimmy's millions if the Sandpiper case is settled....these are three good reasons for why Kim is involved.

Just my opinion, but I think its almost a lock that the first round pick will be a Defensive player. I think the Bills would take Jameson Williams with a trade-up in the first, or take Breece Hall at 25 only if all of their Defensive targets are off the board.

This couldn’t possibly happen, could it?? I hope so! 25. Devin Lloyd LB Utah 57. Breece Hall RB Iowa St 89. Zyon McCollum CB Sam Houston 130. Damarri Mathis CB Pitt 168. Cole Turner TE Nevada That draft with no trades would be 🔥🔥🔥

Traded next years 3rd to move up in the second: 25. Devin Lloyd LB Utah 44 Breece Hall RB Iowa St 89. Zyon McCollum CB Sam Houston 130. Charlie Kolar TE Iowa 168. Kyle Phillips WR UCLA

25. Devin Lloyd LB Utah 57. Kyler Gordon CB Washington 89. Rachaad White RB Arizona St 130. Damarri Mathis CB Pitt 168. Cole Turner TE Nevada

Might as well sign EJ Gaines!!

As the OP of this thread, I did believe that if the Bills drafted Lloyd they should trade Edmunds immediately....however as this thread has gone on I have been persuaded by the many people who have made the "draft Lloyd, but keep Edmunds for one more year" argument. It actually makes more sense because of the fact that McD doesn't like to rely on rookies right away.....this would give Lloyd time to get up to speed before being thrown into the starting lineup. The Bills could even rotate in Lloyd for both Edmunds and Milano to keep them both fresh for the long season. Also, it is more than likely that Edmunds and Milano will miss a game or two due to injury(it happened last year and the year before) AJ Klien would fill in the last two years in this situation, but he's gone, so a guy like Lloyd would come in handy for that kind of role this year, then become the full time starter the following season when they let Edmunds walk as a FA.

Watched the Kiper/McShay mock draft last night....Lloyd was available at pick 25 but they had the Bills select Andrew Booth CB Clemson....if the Bills pass on Lloyd at 25 for Booth, that would not be a “Beane” move, IMO. Lloyd ended up going at pick 31 to the Bengals....no way he lasts that long!

Dick Enberg with his "Oh...My" call was great....I am pretty sure he was the announcer for all 4 AFC Chamionship games the Bills won back in the 90's. On a side note, I always wished retired NHL announcer Mike Emrick covered NFL games. He was always great during the NHL playoffs, and I know he would have brought a lot of excitement to the booth for NFL games.

I call this the Freak Athlete Draft: 25. Chris Olave WR Ohio St. 57. Kyler Gordon CB Washington 89. Rachaad White RB Arizona St. 130. Damarri Mathis CB Pitt 168. Cole Turner TE Nevada

Unless it’s in Buffalo!!

Yep.....the only players the Bills should be entertaining trading up for should be Sauce Gardner, Devin Lloyd, or Jameson Williams, IMO.

Traded next years first to move up: 12. Sauce Gardner CB Cincinnati 57. Kenneth Walker III RB Michigan St. 89. Nicholas Petit-Frere OT Ohio St. 130. Zyon McCollum CB Sam Houston 168. Cole Turner TE Nevada

Its really not about whether Edmunds sucks or not, its about if you want to pay Edmunds 17 million per year for the next 5 years, or draft a comparable and most likely better player in Lloyd who will be on a rookie contract for the next 5 years. If possible, I prefer option number 2.

Exactly.....when he is on NFL Live with Marcus Spears and Orlavsky, it is completely unwatchable. I like Ike to call them “The Three Stooges”, then change the channel. Its amazing these guys get paid for their trash takes.

I don’t think anyone was “pounding the table” for this guy!!!

Not just any rookie....Lloyd is arguably the #1 LB prospect in this draft. I don't think its unreasonable to think he could replace Edmunds and be good right away, and think that Edmunds is good enough to fetch a second round pick, IMO.

I stated that the trade for Edmunds would be contingent on him signing a long term extension....I agree that no team would trade a second round pick for a one year rental.

In my scenario, I was assuming the team that traded for him would sign him to a long term contract, therefore they might be willing to part with a 2nd.

Lloyd has been available in 4 of the 5 mock drafts I have done over the last few days....that’s what got me thinking about this scenario. In my scenario, the Bills would use the money saved from Edmunds contract to sign a vet CB instead of drafting one early....I would prefer a vet CB over a rookie CB.

I sort of see your point, but this is a veteran-laden defense.....that might make things a little smoother for the rookie in that respect

Would you select him, and trade Edmunds to a team with a top 15 Second Round Pick?? I know there are a lot of what-ifs in this scenario, but if the draft did fall this way, and a team with a top 15 second round pick was interested in trading for Edmunds...I would pull the trigger immediately on this. Although I do not hate Edmunds as much as many on this board, I am certainly not a fan of giving him a huge contract extension either. Lloyd is a beast of a LB, and could easily end up being better than Edmunds quite quickly, plus he would be on a cheaper rookie contract for the next 5 years. I would use the second round pick from the trade to draft Breece Hall, the Bills actual second round pick to draft a speed WR like Metchie III, and use the cap savings from losing Edmunds contract to sign one of the Veteran CB's still on the market. What do you think??

I think his screen name says it all......Huh??? What???

Named after the Vodka??
