OnTheRocks Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 With the Bills finishing 9-7. The Bills grabbed him at #22. Do any of you draft guru's know their draft position this year?
JeremyWhite Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 It cost the Bills a 2nd and 5th round pick. If you're going to say that it cost you a first rounder...that's wacky logic. That's like saying McGahee cost you a first rounder. The trade was for a 1st next year, and the 2nd and 5th picks. In reality, you used next year's first this year. So...I think it's fair to say, it cost the Bills a 2nd and a 5th. This year, they're selecting 21/22/23 (which Dallas owns). It's right in that neighborhood (depending on tiebreakers)
Ozymandius Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 i hate to start this semantical discussion again, but mcgahee DID cost us a first rounder. we could have used that pick to get someone else (not that we would want to given his results this season). it's opportunity cost. we could have kept the first, second, and fifth and used it on three different players. so JP cost us a first, second, and fifth. opportunity cost. if JP fails, Tom Donahoe will end up being the most hated GM in Bills history. That's 4 season with no playoffs and counting Tommy.
stuckincincy Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Seems I heard somewhere that there are charts that state what "fair values" for draft trades are. IRRC, the move by the Bills to get Losman was above fair value. I might be wrong.

Just a week or so ago, numerous TD haters became TD lovers, and I'm betting the pendulum will swing back.
