Dragonborn10 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Not after week 5 and with a bye week. There is no excuse for not finding a TE and WR to help this year. There are multiple teams where the wheels are falling off. Go get Bryant from Pittsburgh. TY Hilton. The Cardinals are imploding. Go make a move. They have the ammunition to win now. If they don't make a trade to get better, then they should trade Shady and just admit they wanted to tank all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Dragon...while that might sound good on paper...the problem with the Bills is their lack of depth at virtually EVERY position. Any depth they had, they traded away for draft picks. So now, who is going to make a trade with them? And for which players on our roster? The answer can only be trading away those same draft picks that you just traded for. Is that your plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they aren't spending any draft picks. Beane and McDermott don't really care about this year - at least not as much as they pretend to. The season will sink or swim with the existing roster and the possible addition of scrub level players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Arnold Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm telling you right now - Beane is not going to trade a high draft pick for a current player for this season. It's simply not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and with the way McD talks about Glenn and the benching of Miller they may need all these picks just to get the bodies the want. I think they view it as a roster in transition and they won't be using any draft capital for short term solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont need to mortgage anything to get a couple WR in better than guys we got. Or activating only four CBs when one was only signed two days before the game.

They have played with confidence all season long and the guys that don't play hard and execute don't get on the field. It's no longer about appeasing players, they came in with a vision and so far it looks solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem was we were 3-1. A very winnable game makes them 4-1 and 3-0 in division. With bye and then a few home games. Very, very good playoff position. But then injuries hit two positions they didnt address at all, one of them CB that was criminal malfeasance. And it dramatically affected playoff chances.

Yep, big time oversight, i remember thinking about how we were gonna win this weekend with no ariel weapons, figured it would take a pick 6 at least, at this rate the defense is gknna have to start putting up points cuz we have nothing at WR besides the ocasional o Leary and Tate reception.

The answer can only be trading away those same draft picks that you just traded for. Is that your plan? ^This is how the OP should have went...well said We can only realistically trade away draft picks, and only teams looking to make a post season move would consider trading for Shady now that he's getting older and demanding a higher salary. Something which this league has turned and said "we won't pay top dollar for RBs." We only have draft picks to trade away which hurts our future and shouldn't be done at this point just to maybe win now. We knew WR and DB depth were an issue going into the season, well, at least TBD did. But now with our offense, barely acceptable when healthy, now hopelessly depleted we can't really expect us to capitalize on another season where other perennial top teams are struggling on more than one side of the ball.

HumbleAndHungry Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Martavis Bryant definitely does not fit the mold of the type of players at McDermitt wants to bring in. Ty Hilton on the other hand would be a great pick up but do even know if the colts are shopping him and if so how many years are left on his contract and what would it take to get him ? I just don't know if a trade like that is even feasible. The coaching staff has reiterated numerous times that they're building for now and the future so it's very possible that they don't make any wide receiver additions and keep their stock pile of draft picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer can only be trading away those same draft picks that you just traded for. Is that your plan?I'm not sure I agree about the lack of depth. Every Team in the NFL lacks depth. There are only 46 players active on game day. How many teams have a quality backup at every position? In fact, I believe this is why McD constantly preaches versatility. I think Oleary was a great backup. The team handled the dareus injury and the Glenn injury admirably. Worthy was out for a month and they still had the #1 D. Milano played OK with Humbar out and the bills only have up 20 without him and EJ. We roll out 7 players on the Dline constantly with solid play almost every down so there must be depth there.The WR position and the QB position is where there is no depth. In fact with Matthews out there is a solid argument there isn't a bonafide starter amongst both groups. If somehow they fix the WR slot with improvement from current players or a newcomer, they might be able to deal with the QB for a playoff run.
