Reed83HOF Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Why would you trade up for an LB? No way. Only trade up for Pass Rushers, QBs and, ONLY, if you are a piece away from an SB do you go up for a DB or WR....
hondo in seattle Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I'm against packaging our first two round draft picks for a QB, let alone a LB. The mere concept gives me Sammy Watkins nightmares. We have too many needs. I don't want to use both picks on one guy. (Then again, if we used two 1st round draft picks to get a 12+ year HOF signal caller, I'd change my tune). Edited January 17, 2018 by hondo in seattle 1
Magox Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Have we not learned from the Sammy Watkins debacle? Possibly the worst GM move that the Bills have made on draft day in decades. I do not want to package two firsts unless it's a QB.
Bray Wyatt Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 37 minutes ago, JohnBonhamRocks said: On the contrary, I think, even more than his talent, that one of the most appealing things about signing Cousins is being able to use all of those five top-100 picks to fill out the rest of the roster. If we signed our QB, then we can afford to draft 5 of the BPA at HB/WR/OG/OT/DT/DE/LB/CB. I am not against that either, and agree with that method, but my point was more we better not be trading up unless we have solved our QB issue before, or we are trading up for a qb 1
DrDawkinstein Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) If we use our two 1st rounders and move up, and take... a LB... I'm "done with this team" Edited January 17, 2018 by DrDawkinstein
NewEraBills Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) To me, if it takes that to trade up for Smith, it is just like doing it for a QB. Unless you have a better plan on filling out all of the holes on the roster you just don't throw that type of capital at one guy. Edited January 17, 2018 by NewEraBills
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I’d rather have Rashaan Evans AND Vita Vae/Maurice Hurst 2

Lfod Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) If I were to step back and throw it on a scale I would say the Bills defense is a lot better then the offence. We have a defensive minded HC so I assume that is gonna be a strength. So I can appreciate your suggestion I just don't think defense should be priority. Definitely not to a degree of trading up. The weak link on the team is the offense. I think that should be the priority in my opinion. I'm kind of surprised that more people don't feel the way I do. I would want to work on my weakness not my strength. Edited January 17, 2018 by Lfod

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I have 2 offseason goals, offensive leader and defensive leader. Must find QB of the future and starting MLB. I'm not trading up for a LB though. No need to.
Bing Bong Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I have reservations about trading up for a QB.. they better be right is all
H2o Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 It's just a thought. I like Smith a lot as a player and I'm sure McDermott wants to find his Kuechley for this defense. I'm not saying I would trade up for him because I like Tegray Scales of Indiana almost as much and think he can be had @ 21 or 22. This is something I could see happening though if they really feel Smith is that important a piece of the defense so I threw it out there.
starrymessenger Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Regardless of how we feel about trading up, the Bills will do it for a player they like if they see value in the trade. And it doesn't have to be a QB (though this year it very well may be). They traded up for Zay Jones for cripessake. And they did it with JuJu still on the board. I would trade up for Smith before Zay, and I like Zay.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 What if Mayfield Falls to 20? Do we trade down pick 21?
