dib Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 The radio station likes the deal, IMHO I think it sucks because the felons dont have a 2nd round pick until 2006, and Henry stays int he division, and it helps the felons. The only fan I heard call in however stated categorically that he does not want henry.
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Fuggabout the draft pick for Henry, we need a player who can contribute to the team now. I like Miami as a potential trade partner exactly because they do not have a second round pick so if they want Henry then they have to give us a player in exchange (my wildest dream is McMichael who is due a big FA contract at the same time as Henry, I think he actually is a more productive player than Henry so we should give them more but hey can't a Bills fan dream. I think the debate on whether Henry is worth a 2nd or worth a 4th or whatever misses the point of creating a team capable of racking up the Ws and getting into the playoffs in 2005 or even 2006. Draft picks are neato keen for fantasy leagues, but in terms of Ws give me a vet, even one judged of lesser value than Henry.

Give me some proven talent anyday.

obie_wan Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 player for player trades are rare........i expect a 2005 draft pick(s)........ 220107[/snapback] Miami will need to move some of its overpriced defensive talent in order to upgrade the O-line and RB. (Jason Taylor would be nice) Surtain and Madison will probably be available, but they have huge exsiting contracts. McMichael could be available as well, but he is a totally useless as a blocker - so he may not fit the Bills priority of running the football.

We already are commited big money on the OL (Mike Williams and and Teague and the new LT whoever that will be) and at the QB and RB positions. I don't think we can have the highest paid TE on our team. TD will definitely want a draft pick. The problem is Miami picks 2nd and hence we don't have a shot at getting their 1st round pick by any means...If their pick was in the lowe half, we could have packaged our 2nd and Henry for their 1st. We cannot trade for a 2006 pick because TD needs the depth this year. This is year 5 of TD regime and he needs to make deep into the playoffs, so he needs players this year, not next year.

I live in Miami and watch a lot of their games. The fish used McMichael as a blocker during the secondf half of the year and the line gave up a lot less sacks.

ch19079 Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 a 2nd rounder in 2006 is the same as a 3rd rounder in 2005. and henry is worth a 2nd rounder this year. so if we dont get a pick till 2006, it better be a 1st rounder. but if thats the case, i bet it will be a conditonal pick based on yardage, where in, if henry gets 1300+ yards its a 1st rounder. what if hes injured???? then we get JACK SQUAT!!!

A conditional pick usually has a base value assigned to it. In Henry's case, it could be a 3rd rounder that conditionally becomes anywhere from a 2nd to 2-1st rounders (as the Dolphins ended up giving up for RW) based on yardage.
