TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I remember thinking that as long as we picked in the 20s this season I'd be happy with trading up for Watkins. Here's where everyone would be picking if the draft were today: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000407751/article/updated-2015-nfl-draft-order-top-3-needs-for-all-32-teams 19. Buffalo Bills (pick owned by Cleveland Browns) 2014 record: 8-6 (.526) Top three needs: QB, LB, S Not sure why they list LB or S as out top needs though. Should read QB, OL, TE.

zow2 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Just keep telling yourself that Kiko will be like our 1st round pick in 2015. That's a good way to soften the blow of not having one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 As long as we upgrade QB in FA somehow, I don't even mind not having a 1st. I'm happy with the rest of our roster and we already have plenty of young guys developing in the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 we have a knack for 2nd rounder so i'm confident we get a starter in the 2nd. A free agent pickup and kiko back gives me hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 NFL Draft Big Board: No. 1 Williams vs. No. 2 Gregory in Holiday Bowl It's rare when the top two prospects at similar positions in the same game, but that's the case in a Holiday Bowl featuring Leonard Williams and Randy Gregory. 2015 NFL Draft: Prospects to watch this bowl season Sometimes too much is made by the performances of prospects during bowl season, as if that one game means more than any in the regular season. But bowl games present a unique opportunity to evaluate prospects in an unfamiliar setting against a formidable opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I think they are listing Cleveland's needs with our team. Why would Safety be a need for Cleveland? They already have a perennial pro-bowl player in Donte Whitner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Why would Safety be a need for Cleveland? They already have a perennial pro-bowl player in Donte Whitner. Think again. He has slipped.

White Linen Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I know it's easy to compare Watkins to some of the other WR's picked later and compare their success and convince ourselves about what we should have done. But we all know it's nearly impossible to forecast these scenarios. To me I would trade 2 first round picks for 1 every other year if it meant that one player worked out. I believe Watkins has performed to that level for me to be 100% ok with having him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not entirely fair because I'm think many pro scouts had foresight with Griffin, but you still run in to busts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 One of the reasons why the Bills had to give the Browns their #1 pick in 2015 in the Watkins deal is they were insistent on keeping the #2 in 2014 that they used on Kouandjio. It's just one more reason that Whaley and the Bills need Kujo to pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good way to soften the blow of not having one. Didn't we do that with JP? That ended with us drafting a Glove Wearing Mary the following year. No thanks.

Trade Spiller and a 3rd for Cutler. One of the best guards in the league is an FA this season and he's only making a million more a year than Pears, who is also an FA this season. Let Pears walk and sign Mike Iupati from the Niners and we instantly upgrade out line in a huge way. It would greatly reduce the need for us to gamble on more rookie linemen in the draft. Plus we still have young guys like Richardson and Kujo developing in the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Sorry to interrupt the pissing and moaning about not having a 1st round draft pick. But let's all just stop, take a deep breath, and enjoy this moment It's mid to late December and for the first time in like 10 years the Bills are focused on playoff seeding instead of draft position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
