I am SOOOOOO psyched none of that happened. Our draft was awesome on paper.

 

I know rite! what a dick move. smh

 

LOL bam!

 

Just a guess, but I think the Bills would have selected Ragland and Jarron Reed in the 2nd round if the deal had been completed.

Is Lawson worth that much more over J. Reed?



Plus Dallas #67 and keep two 4th rd picks

The Bills wanted the Cowboys' 2017 #1 pick to make the deal. They didn't feel like it was worth what Jerruh was offering to give up Shaq.

A 2 and a 3 in this draft was definitely worth it, esp. since they would've been able to keep the two 4s they sent away to take Ragland. This draft was botched.

Botched? Hardly.

Did every other team that turned down Dallas also botch their drafts?

 

The Jets certainly did. I'm not sure about the others, but the Bills have a ton of needs. Teams picking in the 20s might have fewer holes to fill.

Why - a 2 and a 3 for 19, so that's 2, plus the two 4s they spent to move up for Ragland...? That said I haven't had my coffee yet...

 

Here we go again. If the Bills would have taken Cowboys offer, they would have had 3 more picks in the '16-'17 drafts.

You wanted the Bills to drop from 19 to 34 and only pick up a 3rd for the drop? That's essentially what you're saying. That is nowhere near enough.

Was this gone through already? I'm saying - they take the Cowboys offer and they pick up the #34 pick, so they can take Ragland at 34 without spending two 4s to go get him. I might be missing something, because math, but I think I'm right?

Exactly my thoughts.

I take it you missed the debates of how much it cost to get Watkins?

 

You're also assuming that Reed is still on the board at #18 of Round 2, despite Seahawks clear interest in him.

 

So realistically, If Bills take Ragland at #34, they probably have to do another swap to make sure they still get a quality DL at the top half of round 2.

If you don't want to explain it to me, fine.

 

Not doing the trade cost Bills a net loss of 3 draft picks. It's pretty clear.

I thought the object was to get really good players, not just players in quantity. If they really believed that Lawson is a perfect fit and elite, you take him. This is a team that really needs a defensive end, and Reed is not the player that Lawson is.

Ok, but that's what I'm saying. They could have four players instead of one Lawson. Yes that's net three players...
