B Fan in LA Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 The good news. We didn't reach and give up any future 1st round picks to get a QB from Tulane.
Reed83HOF Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Brian Burke @bburkeESPN Follow More BUF really makes out. 1816 to 1300 JJ's with a 106% discount rate. 12 AV to 6 AV with an inf discount rate on my AV-based model (h/t @pfref) Football Perspective @fbgchase Follow More KC traded 27, 91 and 2018 1st to move up to 10. If you value 2018 1st at 24th ovrl, BUF gets 170 cents on the dollar in my chart, 120 on JJ. Warren Sharp @SharpFootball Follow More Bills (#27, 91 and 1st rd in 2018) got the better deal in #NFLDraft trade w Chiefs (#10) by getting 36.1 draft points & losing 19.9. This is true and looks nice. Winners and losers decided in a few years
What a Tuel Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) But that's not really it is, it? It's more... Lattimore or White 2017 3rd Rounder 2018 1st Rounder or Gilmore (Tyrod is cut) Mahomes ...something to that effect. I think the people that are a little concerned about the Bills are more concerned because of the lack of consistent plan over the last 4 17 years. If you disagreed with some of the offseason moves in the past, then why is it lattimore vs white/1/3. It's only that based on earlier decisions that many may have also disagreed with. All of this is a roundabout way of saying that I'm definitely not excited. They have to prove me wrong and I'll be so happy when they finally do. If they really made this move as ammo for a top QB (it's not that simple, lol), I'll probably be happier a year from now. At that point you have to put some value on Gilmore's $13 million per year contract and at that point are we giving up Sammy Watkins in 2018? (Who knows, you may be ok with that - I wouldn't though). It's all subjective, but I think I still take: White 2017 3rd 2018 1st over Gilmore Mahomes Maybe I am dead wrong. That's the fun of watching this whole thing go down though.

That's the fun of watching this whole thing go down though. I definitely don't know if Gilmore + Mahomes is better. I did the least draft prep I've ever done this year which is why most of my issues with the team are stemming from mistakes they have been making over time. I think if Mahomes or Watson turn out to be great then it's really all dumb because we missed out on those guys. The Gilmore contract vs Watkins is an interesting take. I really don't know what to do with Watkins next year, but if the plan is truly Tyrod, then yeah...what's the point.
What a Tuel Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Why the heck are you still talking about Gilmore? =/ I think they are assuming we wouldnt have a need at CB if we re-signed Gilmore. They are implying that would free us up to take a chance on a QB. Seems like they are prepping 2018 which is widely considered a better year for QBs to do that.
Buffalo86 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Posted April 28, 2017 OP's numbers are not what I've seen elsewhere. I have seen two different sources claim that the Bills come out ahead in the math. The numbers are very clearly stated to be based on Jimmy Johnson's value chart: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/draft_trade_value.htm Feel free to give it a glance.

Timing seems to have been a real problem with this franchise lately, which is why I'm criticizing them so heavily for their cyclical drafting habits. If they pull off a great draft next year and get their franchise QB I will be forever happy. That hasn't happened yet. This franchise is just as likely to take John McCargo with that extra first.

That's the fun of watching this whole thing go down though. But in that scenario, we'd be paying Mahomes' rookie salary instead of Taylor's $15mm/yr. The money (Gilmore + Mahomes vs Taylor + White) would basically be a wash.

The money (Gilmore + Mahomes vs Taylor + White) would basically be a wash. True, but that would mean throwing Mahomes into the fire. The Chiefs aren't doing that, and a few other QB needy teams didn't want that. That tells me he needs to sit behind someone, so we likely would still start Taylor.

Valid point. Like most drafts, we will have to wait and see if it was good or bad for the team.
mannc Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Draft trade value charts don't take into consideration the strengths or weaknesses of the draft. Moving back to 27 and picking up an extra third in an extremely deep draft has extra value, it seems to me. And of course KC might suck this year. They open with the Pats, I think, which creates a bit of a dilemma. Edited April 28, 2017 by mannc
wilcoam Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 You nailed it Buffalo 86 Great post Though I say we lost by 171 because that's the exact points based on the 27th pick next year Mind you if the Chiefs finish 20th and not 27th its a dead even trade I also thought we should have gotten another pick to make up for the 171 pt loss Though I love the trade down and I like the White pick regardless jc
nucci Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Draft value chart is one of the dumbest things I've read about. It's about the players chosen....not points assigned to a certain pick
Beef Jerky Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 It's definitely possible that KC finishes well enough that the trade is hardly a win. The real test will be whether or not Mahomes becomes a gamer. If he does, you can throw your points out the window. KC pick will be between 10-15
ALF Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 The Bills get 3 starters instead of 1 , good deal imo
Big Turk Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) According to the Jimmy Johnson draft value chart: Bills give up: #10: 1300 pts Chiefs give up: #27: 680 pts #91: 136 pts Next year's 1st: 330 pts* (*Based on the guesstimate that the Chiefs will have the 25th pick next year, and the somewhat accepted rule that a 1st round pick this year = a 2nd round pick next year.) If you buy all of that, we gave up 1300 pts for 1146, a loss of 154. Per the chart, that's the equivalent of losing the #87 pick of the draft. In that sense, it looks like the Chiefs got the better end of the deal. But what of this value chart? Do other teams actually go by it? Here are the rest of tonight's deals, scored according to the value chart: 1. 49ers / Bears 49ers give up #2 (2600). Bears give up #3 (2200), 67 (255), 111 (72), and next year's 3rd (80*) - (2607). The 49ers win by a whopping 7 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 2. Browns / Texans Browns give up #12 (1200). Texans give up #25 (720) and next year's 1st (330*) - (1050) Texans win by 150 points. By these metrics, they lost the #88 pick. Not a totally unexpected outcome when dealing with the Browns, and poor value according to the chart. 3. Seahawks / Falcons Seahawks give up #26 (700). Falcons give up #31 (600), #95 (120), and 249 (1) - (721). Seahawks win by 21 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 4. Packers / Browns Packers give up #29 (640). Browns give up #33 (580) and #108 (79) - (659) Packers win this trade by 19 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 5. Seahawks / 49ers Seahawks give up #31 (600). 49ers give up #34 (560), 111 (72) - (632). Seahawks win by 32 points, the equivalent of the #138 pick. Pretty even trade according to the value chart. Here are tonight's winners & losers according to Jimmy's value chart: Chiefs: +154 Texans: +150 Seahawks: +53 Packers: +19 Bears: -7 Falcons: -21 49ers: -25 Bills: -154 Browns: -169 That value chart is nonsense...much more accurate ones have been produced that actually analyzed the true values of the picks over time and used regression analysis to set values for each pick. Typically in basic terms high picks were vastly overrated and lower picks were underrated. In this draft a 3rd is worth a 2nd in most other drafts because of how deep it is and the quality of the player you will likely get. The numbers are very clearly stated to be based on Jimmy Johnson's value chart: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/draft_trade_value.htm Feel free to give it a glance. Which has been shown by many using analytics and regression analysis of many years of actual data on players selected there and how their careers played out to have no basis in reality Edited April 28, 2017 by matter2003

Seems like an error to me, when the Bills #27 this year was rated 680 pts.

Seems like an error to me, when the Bills #27 this year was rated 680 pts. Even though the chart is nonsense, it is an error. The Bills came out ahead by over 150 points according to that chart, OP fix your bad math. 680 + 680 + 91 = 1451 - 1300 = +151 Factor in the Chiefs are not likely to pick 27th again, likely higher and a 3rd round pick this year will get you a similar player to a 2nd round pick most years and the Bills likely added another 200-300 points of "value".

oldmanfan Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I recall listening to an interview with Polian a few years ago when the concept of this draft value chart came up. He laughed and said no one in the league pays any attention to it.

Looks like, according to the numbers, that it true. The caveat with that is that we may have wanted to move out of the pick more than the Chiefs wanted to move into it. If that is true, then we may have had to sweeten the pot a little.
