So that was a sweet trade up for the Bills.

 

Reggie Ragland cost them a second round pick, and 2 fourth round picks. Parlayed that into 0 games played and 1 fourth round pick in 2019.

 

Maybe it's a fine trade for what he is worth (which appears to be about nothing), but it certainly is quite the indictment on that 2016 selection.

 

Geez. How can they possibly justify that?

This regime didn't draft Ragland so they won't have to justify it. This is the problem with changing between 3-4 and 4-3 so often like the Bills have over last couple years

At least they got something for Ragland. Definitely better than just cutting him.

 

I'd have preferred to be patient with him, or at least to trade him anywhere but KC. They probably couldn't get anything from him from another team though.

Or its an indictment of the trade and the value it netted.

It doesn't matter. You deal with the guy or get more for him. It is a ridiculous trade.

 

Edit: A ridiculous trade to a team we want to do poorly this year.

Any of you Draftniks have some insight on the 2019 draft class?

 

Jalen Hurts. Might come out this year but probably not.

Yup, exactly. I said this in the other Ragland thread. This is why it sucks changing schemes every couple of years and why I want McDermott to be here for at least 4-5 years. I want to actually see the Bills be able to build something for once, without changing visions 2-3 years in...

What kind of value did you want for a 3rd stringer coming off injury who's never played a professional down?

For those asking how you justify this trade...

i actually think we have 2. Still have Boldin's, right?

I think you are correct.

 

Which leads me to believe that the Bills aren't interested in filling those spots with the cut down coming in a few days.

The #Bills clear $715,517 in 2017 cap by trading LB Reggie Ragland to the #Chiefs, a move that makes Preston Brown an extension candidate.

 

No friggin way. Shoot me.

The Bills site says it's a conditional pick. I wonder if he becomes an all-Pro that it becomes a 3rd or 2nd rounder. The guy was a huge talent coming out of Alabama. That talent will not go away. It just needs to be in the right position.

I'd be good with extending Brown. He has actually looked pretty darn good in this scheme.
