thebandit27 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 What do you think it would take to acquire the #1 pick? I agree with what Whaley said, "would rather miss on a 6'4" 270lb 4.4 guy than someone with lesser ability" The more I think about it, the more I would love a trade up for him DE is a much bigger need for this team than most are thinking... Maybe even Barr at 9 I'm wholly against Barr at any spot--I think he's got bust written all over him. I'm going to guess that it would take our 1 & 2 this year, plus a 1 & 3 next year to move up to 1.
CountryCletus Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I am a little concerned about Barr's inexperience and his size... I can understand some people having concerns about him coming off of a failed Maybin pick... Ealy, I at the guys name... he looks tough too, but should be able to trade back for him
johnwalter Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 there are now reports coming out of ESPN that "the Bills are actively trying to trade up"
sodbuster Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 there are now reports coming out of ESPN that "the Bills are actively trying to trade up" I'm betting the Rams are dangling the second overall.

FluffHead Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Hope Watkins gets to 5 and we can figure out a way to get there without giving up next years 1. Possible? 1 HOU Clowney 2 STL Robinson 3 JAX Mack 4 CLE QB bust 5 BUF Watkins Edited April 29, 2014 by FluffHead
thebandit27 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Hope Watkins gets to 5 and we can figure out a way to get there without giving up next years 1. Possible? It won't take next year's 1 to move to 5...more likely a 2 or 3 this year depending upon how badly the team picking there wants to move down. Oakland may have a guy in mind that they really want, but not at 5, and feel confident that they can get him at 9. If so, they may take less to move back.

Oakland may have a guy in mind that they really want, but not at 5, and feel confident that they can get him at 9. If so, they may take less to move back. According to Joe B Oakland is prime trade back candidate because they have lacked picks and talent the last few years. The dolphins took advantage of that last year by moving from 12 to 3 for just a second round pick.

Oakland may have a guy in mind that they really want, but not at 5, and feel confident that they can get him at 9. If so, they may take less to move back. Rumor has it that they love Lewan. There is a good chance that they could go to 9 and still get him.
bbb Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Now this is a tradeup scenario that I like. The first one I've heard. As long as we don't mortgage next year's number one, I'd love to get Watkins for a 2 or 3 from this year.

Maybe even Barr at 9 I want nothing to do with Barr...He's not a a fit for a 4-3...He's not a DE in a 4-3, and he's definitely not a LB in a 4-3...He may fill out one day into a 4-3 end...We'll see...But right now he's too light and not nearly strong enough...Teams will run right at him and he would be a huge liability in our Defense IMHO... But if he goes to a traditional 3-4 team like the Ravens or Steelers he could be special if he continues to work hard and get stronger at the point of attack... Edited April 29, 2014 by KOKBILLS

I also think Jax is a good trade back candidate because they lack talent IMO but I don't think they Gus Bradley will be able to pass up Mack.
boyst Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 We didn't succeed getting Spiller in to space, would we succeed getting Watkins in to space? We are a fast team, sure, but I don't know if we need a WR who specializes in screens at this point. We have a RB who specializes in screens, and Goodwin who can run them, too. Ask yourselves what I asked myself: Which would make the biggest improvement to our team? All Pro DE All Pro WR All Pro RT All Pro TE Names don't matter, but I think All Pro TE adds just a little more then an All Pro RT. At least to this team.
FluffHead Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 FWIW, I haven't heard a ton about the draft yet but one thing that I did hear is that they love Watkins. Thanks Kirby
YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 This makes me sad. It was painful for me to post but I made the sacrifice. Let's hope the 5 star RS Freshman DBs are ready to start this year.
D521646 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Please do NOT move up to one, and if we do move up, we MUST retain our 2nd and 3rd rounders this year. Tim-
FluffHead Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Please do NOT move up to one, and if we do move up, we MUST retain our 2nd and 3rd rounders this year. Tim- Way more important to retain next years number 1 due to uncertainty at QB IMO
Kirby Jackson Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Way more important to retain next years number 1 due to uncertainty at QB IMO Agree
