BuffaloBill Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Is there any chance that Whaley pulls off a trade to move up in the draft? If so, who would he be going after? What would he be willing to give up? To me it seems highly improbable given all of the needs this team has both immediately and moving forward. I honestly think he went after Sammy to make the EJ situation work not simply because the Bills really wanted Sammy that badly. I just don't see him doing anything in the first round.
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 It would be incredibly stupid since we are far from one player away.
thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I'll give you 15:1 odds, but if he does, it better be for Myles Jack.

I honestly think he went after Sammy to make the EJ situation work not simply because the Bills really wanted Sammy that badly. I just don't see him doing anything in the first round. I heard before the draft that the Bills loved Sammy. The trade was as much about the player as anything. They thought he was a sure fire star. He is. I don't see them going up in this draft unless Myles Jack slips a little. Leroi indicated that they love him as a prospect. He is going to be a star as well. If he is somehow still on the board around 10, I could see them pulling the trigger. Edited March 8, 2016 by Kirby Jackson
26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 No need to make a move like that when they can sit back and get what they need most.

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I don't put much past Dealer Doug. I'll go 40 percent.
The Big Cat Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Are we still looking back on the Sammy deal as if it were the wrong thing to do?
Tenhigh Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Are we still looking back on the Sammy deal as if it were the wrong thing to do? You didn't know we gave up 7 first round picks for him?
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Less than 5%. Trading back I'd give a much higher 33%.
Beef Jerky Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 He will probably trade back if anything. I don't see any player worth trading up for.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 if he is there at six the Ravens grab him. Imo You might be right. I can't see him on the board too long. He is the only guy though that makes reading up a possibility I think.
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Less than 5%. Trading back I'd give a much higher 33%.i want to trade back and get more 2nds. There is a ton of 2nd round talent this year. But I also like elite players. So I'll get my popcorn ready.
3rdand12 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 doug has long since lost his mind. anything is possible
billsfan89 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Not very high. The Bills don't have that one glaring need. Offensively they have a couple of holes at RT and WR and defensively they look to need a good amount of help finding a pass rush and a MLB along with another possible hole at safety. So they go quantity over quality, try and find a couple of impact players rounds 1 and 2, and then hit on another big contributor in the mid rounds or at the very least find depth and immediate role players later in the draft.
John from Riverside Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I would put more of a percentage on trading back instead of forward.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I would put more of a percentage on trading back instead of forward. Same here.
JohnC Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I heard before the draft that the Bills loved Sammy. The trade was as much about the player as anything. They thought he was a sure fire star. He is. I don't see them going up in this draft unless Myles Jack slips a little. Leroi indicated that they love him as a prospect. He is going to be a star as well. If he is somehow still on the board around 10, I could see them pulling the trigger. As the draft approaches the consensus increases that he is one of the best players in this draft. Any team that doesn't love him as a prospect is a team whose scouting department is incompetent. The more his talent is acknowledged the probability increases that he is a top five to seven player which means that the cost will be extremely high. This draft is loaded with a lot of good defensive players. Our first two selections, if they are defensive players, should be receiving meaningful playing time. The reality is that our defense is being reconfigured and as many others are saying there are a number of needs on defense. Going against the grain I wouldn't complain if Whaley used his first round pick for an OT. Our right side is a major problem area. The missing on Kujo was a set back for our OL. And I wouldn't complain if Whaley traded down to add another pick or two.
