CanadianFan Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 But why?! https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/857663030301265922
Beef Jerky Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Told you all! Even Leroi is copying what I said.
NoSaint Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 itd be a pretty hefty tag to go that far and its possible you might still see someone like foster.
Success Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I'd be stoked. While it would be nice to have the kind of talent you can get in the 10 spot, it's better for us this year to make a minor sacrifice in quality for quantity. Lots of starters will be available in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Rodrigo Borgia Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 But why?! https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/857663030301265922 Maybe they're targeting a QB like Mahomes or Watson and they want to get additional picks to use for a WR and defensive help.
SoCal Deek Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I come at from the opposite side. I think other teams are looking to move UP. The Bills need to answer the phone when it rings...because it's going to ring for sure!
GG Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 itd be a pretty hefty tag to go that far and its possible you might still see someone like foster. I'd do it for Falcons 1st, 2nd 3rd in '17 and 1st in 18
CanadianFan Posted April 27, 2017 Author Posted April 27, 2017 Maybe they're targeting a QB like Mahomes or Watson and they want to get additional picks to use for a WR and defensive help. But why give up on Howard. Take him and do to Pats what they've been doing to us for years. A big TE their LBs and corners can't cover.
HappyDays Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Please do it. I don't care about our draft grades, we aren't smarter than everyone else and the more picks we have the more likely we find an elite talent.
CanadianFan Posted April 27, 2017 Author Posted April 27, 2017 I'd do it for Falcons 1st, 2nd 3rd in '17 and 1st in 18 for 2 1st rounders, I'll take it.But who's gonna be foolish enough to do that for a 10.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Please do it. I don't care about our draft grades, we aren't smarter than everyone else and the more picks we have the more likely we find an elite talent. Elite talent outside the top 10?! No. Couldn't be.
GG Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 for 2 1st rounders, I'll take it.But who's gonna be foolish enough to do that for a 10. That's the price to move from 31
KellyToughII Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 But why?! https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/857663030301265922 Because its the smartest thing to do in a really deep draft. for 2 1st rounders, I'll take it.But who's gonna be foolish enough to do that for a 10. Um Atlanta has done it before right?
Best Player Available Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Which one of these no nothing bobbleheads has the Bills talking with the 9er's and moving up for their #2 this am? I forget who their is so much BS out there.
wiskibreth Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 but that means I'd need to stay up real late to see who the pick was...
Rodrigo Borgia Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 But why give up on Howard. Take him and do to Pats what they've been doing to us for years. A big TE their LBs and corners can't cover. The Pats have Tom Brady and an offensive line that can pass block. You take Howard, you're either asking him to help Jordan Mills with his pass blocking, while Clay is lined up as a receiver, or you're asking Clay to help Jordan Mills pass block while Howard is lined up as a receiver. In each case, you're either wasting the talent of a TE with a $9 million cap hit or you're wasting the talent of a TE you took 10th overall.
CanadianFan Posted April 27, 2017 Author Posted April 27, 2017 Because its the smartest thing to do in a really deep draft. Um Atlanta has done it before right? Ok I give you that on the first one. the second I forgot. 2 first rounders for the 10th pick! Geez that's why they aren't one of the top draft picking teams. Whom did they do that for?
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Just as Sal said - I don't read that tweet as a potential trade between the Falcons and Bills. Just two separate stories in the same tweet. 1.) The Falcons are looking to move up 2.) The Bills are looking to move down. I'd be shocked if we moved from 10-31.

In each case, you're either wasting the talent of a TE with a $9 million cap hit or you're wasting the talent of a TE you took 10th overall. Or send both out on pass routes. Either one or both will get mis-matched and TT will have a short quick pass he can throw safely. This is what Pats have been trying to do to the league but due to crimes or injuries they have not be able to execute (thankfully).
ndirish1978 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 The Pats have Tom Brady and an offensive line that can pass block.

In each case, you're either wasting the talent of a TE with a $9 million cap hit or you're wasting the talent of a TE you took 10th overall. Or you know, you actually send them both out on routes and give the passing game a chance. Both TEs can block so the threat of the run is always there. Having 2 complete TEs makes BOTH of them better and has the added benefit of helping out the O-line on occasion. By that logic your argument for not taking a WR is we're wasting the 10th pick of the draft on all the downs we don't pass.
