Dorkington Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 He better be a game changer, other wise this will go down as one of the stupidest moves in Bills history.
Fingon Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Cleveland has to be ecstatic, they just abused Whaley. Why? a 2015 1st is equivalent to a 2014 2nd round pick and a 2nd round pick is just about right for this move.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 These guys are confident. Live or die kind of move
GG Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 That's crazy talk. He would not have been there. That is pure crazy talk. No way he would have made it to 9
Beerball Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Picture what aj green does for cincy. We have a very similar talent level now across the board. Everything revolves around EJ. If he realizes his potential then some good things can/will happen.

Alphadawg7 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) HOW AND THE HECK IS THIS A GOOD DEAL ????? WE GOT FLEECED: #4 - 1800 POINTS #9 - 1350 POINTS #9 - 1350 POINTS 4TH - 100 POINTS total - 2800 POINTS That scale is dumb...one, it doesn't take in consideration of the QUALITY of this draft versus next years. This draft is one of the deepest in years. Next years first quite possibly could be only 15- 20 picks higher in a weaker class. We got an ELITE prospect as well...something else not factored in. More importantly, how do you know we are picking 9th next year? I expect our pick to be in the 20's It was a GOOD trade Edited May 9, 2014 by Alphadawg7
dave mcbride Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Guys knocking watkins as a TALENT (not as an expensive buy) really should watch him. He's spectacular. Best offensive prospect in the draft.
swnybillsfan Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) love this move. i am really happy about the bills keeping the rest of their draft this year. going into next year, i know i don't have a number 1, so i am cool with that. just go get us some players to go with him the next couple days.

Dorkington Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I normally hate these projections but if we go 4 wide it's now Williams - Stevie - woods - Watkins and cj in the backfield... Dynamic. And small...
NoSaint Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Everything revolves around EJ. If he realizes his potential then some good things can/will happen. And even if he's just dalton quality we are a playoff contender.
Screwball Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 HOW AND THE HECK IS THIS A GOOD DEAL ????? WE GOT FLEECED: #4 - 1800 POINTS #9 - 1350 POINTS #9 - 1350 POINTS 4TH - 100 POINTS total - 2800 POINTS You're assuming they will finish the same position next year. Whaley is betting different.

It was a GOOD trade That and he doesn't realize that picks a year later are devalued by a round. The Bills are giving up the 2014 equivalent of a 2nd and 5th round pick.
Alphadawg7 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 He better be a game changer, other wise this will go down as one of the stupidest moves in Bills history. Thats true with any pick
Just in Atlanta Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Huge gamble. Hope it pays off. It'll certainly be exciting.
Wayne Cubed Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Essentially this move is putting a huge bet on 2014. If they make the playoffs and the 2015 pick ends up in the 20s, it's probably worth it. If they have a losing record, probably not. How about Cleveland....two firsts in both 2014 and 2015?? They are going to build something there. IDK, they had 2 picks in 2012 and both those players aren't on the team anymore...
