I guess you can't afford him and the next LT they are picking #1. This is why you can't overpay a guard. I'd much rather keep a star tackle than a star guard.

ALF Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 KC put franchise tag on him for $9.8 million . Can get good OL players in draft this year for much less. He is from Rochester, NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they can pick a starter that they will have for the next 4 years at half that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Would they take two former 2nd round picks? I'd trade Aaron Williams and Troup for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMannn Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think the anti-Aaron Williams crowd should grab some forks and prepare themselves for some serious crow. Gladly, as he has showed zero so far. Queue the "DB's are great in their 3rd year" crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Would they take two former 2nd round picks? I'd trade Aaron Williams and Troup for the guy. They'd definitely take Andy Levitre and/ or Jairus Bryd. Or does that not make the point that all Bills' 2nd round draft picks are bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 There is no reason we should be giving up draft picks at this point of the "rebuild." If we were a few years in to it and struggling to find one, definitely. But, this FO has shown the ability to find OL talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am not misunderstanding you, and I hope I am not bursting your bubble, but Levitre is long gone. Signed with the Titans March 12th.

Homey D. Clown Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 with as little action in the FA period, I would bet my life there will be no draft pick trading done by the Bills this year, unless it's us trading away a player for some picks.

billsrcursed Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I hope I am not misunderstanding you, and I hope I am not bursting your bubble, but Levitre is long gone. Signed with the Titans March 12th. He was comparing good 2nd round picks to bad ones, proving not all of the Bills' 2nd round picks were horror stories.

FLFan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Bad idea. The Bills drafted their left tackle last year and have several right tackle candidates on the team. Among the lowest need areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If he's a franchise LT as quoted in the tweet why would KC consider trading him for a second and some loose change? They are doing what smart organizations do by giving themselves options whether he remains on the roster or is traded. If they can get value for him on the trade market they can still fill the void with some top notch OT prospects in this year's draft. If a team makes a deal with them they can use a portion of that large cap space to replace him on the OL, but not necessarily at the LT position. In addition, if he is traded they will have a sizeable amount of cap space to use to address other positions on the roster. They are exercising some foresight and flexibility with respect to their roster and cap situation. That is a smart way to do business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
