You clearly don't understand, they need to open up the field so that Woods, Kupp and Gurley can get their receptions. It's so totally worth it! On a serious note, it certainly appears it is make or break time for them because they won't be able to keep some of these players for longer than a year or two similar to the fleece job they had on them for Watkins. They are without a 1st and 2nd now, right?

KRT88 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 it would seem like if they are positioning for a QB they have decided that the lower tiers are what they want. Therefore, be in position to grab Mason Rudolph and if necessary jump ahead of the Bills at 22 or even Arizona at #15 to do just that. I can't believe they feel they have a shot at Rosen.

Too simple, needs about 75% more tinfoil - the Pats made this move strictly to mess with the Bills! 1

HappyDays Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I wonder if last year I had said Cooks had more trade value than Sammy, what would people's reactions have been?

Canadian Bills Fan Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I actually feel good about this. I don't think there is any way Beane risks letting the Pats***** trade up ahead of them. I expect Beane to make a trade soon. Even if it means overpaying a little

Seems like he's trying to build a dream team based on names. They'd better win the Super Bowl this year because they're mortgaging the future.

They just filled it with a 24 year old receiver with 3 consecutive 1,000 yard seaons. On paper, it hurts the Patriots, so I love the move. Draft picks don't mean jack until you do something with them. who they will get 1 season, will have to pay way more than a rookie, and will lose all value for next year unless they sign him to a big contract. Cooks/Sammy were just rentals.

Yeah I know. Not my style to operate the way he is. 1/32 chance is about 3% chance to win SB. Assume they have better talent than anyone else so make it 10%, that still leaves a lot of room for failure. Team could be in a fix when the new stadium opens. I also don't think Goff is as great as some.

No way NYG deals with BB over BEANE. While none of this is tangible and there are no allegiances this helps me sleep a little easier at night.

I also don't think Goff is as great as some. They don't have to win though. They just have to be better than the Chargers and be more active in the media making moves and being the happening team. If he botches it and turns out worse than the Chargers then all bets are off. Just look at the Giants / Jets of the last 20 years. Edited April 4, 2018 by What a Tuel

I would be thrilled if we drafted him at #22 (or #12) and kept all those other picks. But I trust the process so if McBeane decides to mortgage the farm for a QB, I will assume that's what had to be done. Edited April 4, 2018 by PromoTheRobot 1

They have an aging and mediocre Oline is an example of where I'd focus. I also don't think being better than the Chargers get's the job done.

As it sits now they have $81m in cap space for 2019, which doesn't include about $8m in rollover. They could easily sign Cooks and Donald to long term contracts. Suh seems like a 1-year rental anyways and then they still have their picks for 2019. Having Goff on a rookie deal allows them to do all sorts of moving and shaking.

Didn't know they had 81M, but I do know they have some huge paydays coming up.
