Kirby Jackson Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I found the report interesting that either Kiko or Robert Woods could have landed Shady. I thought that it would be interesting to see what the board's thoughts are on who they would have dealt?
NoSaint Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I have a feeling both are talented and come with baggage behind the scenes we haven't heard fully about. Id add though remember when deciding that this was pre-harvin
YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Whaley has mad love for Robert Woods. Not at all surprised he did not give him up.
buffalo2218 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Would have traded Alonso and Woods plus a mid to low round pick for Shady and Foles
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Very tough. I think Woods might be more replaceable but I think Kiko got very overrated here and is coming off his second major knee injury. Tough call though.
FireChan Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The answer is still Kiko because we need more offensive assets than defensive ones.

Gugny Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Woods is a far better WR than Alonso is a LB. Plus I really think Alonso is damaged goods.
LA Grant Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If they knew they were going to end up getting Percy, they would've dealt Woods. But they didn't know. Knowing that the Eagles were interested in Woods and/or picks, though, they could solve the OL issue real quick by offering Woods for Mathis.
Buffalo Boy Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I honestly believe Woods is currently a better receiver than Watkins. I'm not at all happy with the Percy Harvin signing as it will take Woods off the field. In a ball control offense, Woods is the kind of tough nose guy you want out there. Am I the only one who thinks Sammy gos down too easily after first contact? I would have hated losing Woods for McCoy. When I heard about Kiko I didn't even blink. We smoked the Eagles on this deal. SMOKED 'em!!!
dezertbill Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) No way they trade a 2nd year up and coming WR for a 33 year old guard. Many around the league look at Woods as the most polished receiver coming out of USC and he hasn't done anything to dispell that. His skillset has no where to go but up. This is really interesting though. Seems Bills really thought Kiko was damaged goods. Granted seems he faded as his rookie year progressed, but he is still viewed as a stud. On paper with Harvin I would have kept Kiko and traded Woods, but honestly its a toss up. Edited March 25, 2015 by dezertbill
Big C Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Woods is a polished route runner and has great hands. He has a serious mean streak that needs to be controlled, but seems to fuel him to ball hard out there too. I really like him on our team and think he will come up big for us,even with Harvin in the fold now. Plus, with coverage needed to key in on the bigger names out there, he will get seriously open out there. Kiko wasn't here last year and we were fine, nay, better. And he definitely hit a rookie wall, whether or not we wanted to admit it.

SMOKED 'em!!! 1) sammy has a tough guy rep but was playing with broken ribs. He probably shouldn't have been on the field for a bit so I'll take him not taking on defenders sometimes last year. 2) woods likely sees no reduction in snap count, honestly 3) I like woods but sammy is a better wr.

SMOKED 'em!!! I don't think Percy will take away Woods' snaps. Roman is extremely creative and will use all of these weapons in a variety of ways. To the point about Sammy going down early, I think early in the season his rib injury did indeed force him to go down right away. Don't think it was an issue later on.
YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Woods punched a safety from Miami his rookie year and got ejected. Not good. But I respect him for it all the same. Lol.
johnwalter Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 this is fascinating. love to see robby woods getting some love! dude does not get talked about enough. also i think the two acls thing is getting underplayed.
Big C Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Woods punched a safety from Miami his rookie year and got ejected. Not good. But I respect him for it all the same. Lol. Yes, this is what I was talking about in regards to his mean streak needing to be controlled. I don't recall him having these sorts of issues last year, but I do think opening camp as #3 on the depth chart got him mad in a good way.
Alphadawg7 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I loved Kiko coming out of college, and even on draft night when we took him. He didn't disappoint. However, two serious knee injuries to two different knees for a LB that strength is agility, speed and range is no joke...so it has to be Kiko. And with our talent at LB, Kiko was expendable, so it was a perfect scenario to help balance this team. Kiko may end up being a great player for the Eagles, but the risk was there. To get talent, you must trade talent. And we shed a player a position of depth for an Elite player on the offense which was our achilles heal last year. This was a good trade for us, and Kiko was the correct player to trade. Robert Woods reminds me a lot of Jimmy Smith who was a pretty damn good football player for a long time and I hope he remains a Bill for a long time.
LB3 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Tough choice but I went with Woods. I think it's easier to find a comparable receiver than a LB. Love Woods toughness and fire though. One of my favorite plays last year was where he blew up a blocker on a kickoff return. I believe it was the final play of the Vikings game.
NoSaint Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Yes, this is what I was talking about in regards to his mean streak needing to be controlled. I don't recall him having these sorts of issues last year, but I do think opening camp as #3 on the depth chart got him mad in a good way. I like his play but his open distaste for the qb on the field was admittedly frustrating. Especially when he had his own hiccups. I think he's a good one but it was not the best look to pitch a fit when a ball was off target and then turn around and drop an easy catch.
