Got_Wood Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 I still think these guys are an ideal trade partner. They need Warmack, Cooper, or Fisher to fix their awful O-line, and there are several teams that would draft these guys including the Jets, Titans, Chargers, Panthers, Bucs, and Dolphins. Two scenarios actually work for both teams: 1. We trade the 8th for their 16th and 46th picks 2. We trade our 8th and 41st for the Rams 16th and 22nd I like the 2 scenario even better. Looking at the value chart we lose some value there, but I think it's a win-win deal. We could grab a QB and WR/LB in the first round, and the Rams get the high-end O-lineman they need in the 1st and then have two 2nd rounders for other players.
H2o Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I could see St. Louis moving up for a WR like Patterson or Allen if Fisher wants them bad enough. Does anyone remember his reaction last year when he traded back and Blackmon was taken before they had the chance? He was pissed. I could see him wanting to move up this year to get a WR he has his eye on. Edited February 25, 2013 by H2o
Solomon Grundy Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Why not take the Rams 22nd pick and get a 2nd and a 3rd?
TheKickIsGood Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I like it. The Bills still have a lot of holes and getting three Top 50 players would help tremendously. QB, LB, and WR could all be addressed.
Got_Wood Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I like it. The Bills still have a lot of holes and getting three Top 50 players would help tremendously. QB, LB, and WR could all be addressed. I agree, I like it as well. In the second scenario we would actually only have 2 top 50 picks, being the 16th and 22nd from the Rams. The Rams would then get our 8th and 41st, while keeping their 46th pick as well. The advantage to us is that we get 2 first rounders. And 8 may be too high for the QB's we want. But 8th is the perfect spot for the Rams to steal a top quality O-lineman from several other teams ahead of them. And they would keep 3 picks in the top 46. I could see is landing something like Patterson & Manuel, or Nassib & Hopkins. Something like that would would be really nice. It all depends on who we land in free agency in early March that will determine where our draft priorities lay. Edited February 25, 2013 by Got_Wood
RyanC883 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 risky move hoping the guy you want at 8 falls to 16... upside - you get your guy + a free second round pick downside - you miss out on the player you had locked in at 8 risk vs reward - I don't like it... stick to the original plan - draft Barkley with our first pick, Nassib with our second... I like it a lot. There are very few players worth a top 10 pick this year. You need a top 10 pick to be an all-star, not a QB you hope will be good. I see Olgetree being available at 16 due to off field issues, and then drafting a TE (Eifert?!) and QB in the second round (EJ/Wilson/Nassib).
Kellyto83TD Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Won't happen. No one in this entire draft is worth trading two picks for one and the Rams have HUGE Needs. They have to get Bradford some weapons or they are going to ruin that kid. They need to address Offense in FA and Draft.
4BillsintheBurgh Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 If you're going to do it, may as well get their 2014 1st rounder for the 22nd overall and maybe a 3rd or 4th this year.
ProbablyWrong Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Works for me. With our holes, the more picks the better.
clayboy54 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Who in their right mind would trade for any Bills' 1st round pick? That pick is always a bust, or close to it. It's just a jinxed pick.
jcbillsfan Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Don't see anyone wanting to get to 8 in this draft
Got_Wood Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Don't see anyone wanting to get to 8 in this draft Again, this draft's biggest strength is the O-Line. Joeckel, Fisher, Warmack, and Cooper have O-line hungry teams chomping at the bit to grab one of these guys. Especially when guards like Levitre and Vasquez available on the market will be very expensive. Those guys are worth trading up for. Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers however are not worth the 8th pick. It all comes down to team needs. Edited February 26, 2013 by Got_Wood
