Klaista2k Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 We have a ton of holes on this team and were going into Day 2 with only 1 late pick? It's really mind boggling. I think it would've made much more sense to trade DOWN at 22 and pick up more draft picks. Does this regime even now what the hell they're doing? 4 2 3
26CornerBlitz Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 If Allen turns out to be the guy at QB no one will care. Same thing with regard to Edmunds becoming a stud MLB who runs McDermott's defense.

BillsFan130 Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 They got in their minds a franchise QB for only 2 second round picks, and swapped draft picks with Ravens to get one of the best LBS in the draft. How could you possibly be mad at that strategy? Regardless if you wanted rosen or allen. I thought for sure they would have to give up AT LEAST 2 first rounders to get their QB 2 1
Kirby Jackson Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 You win with stars not warm bodies. The Bills potentially got a franchise QB and an All-Pro LB. That is way more important than fringe starters. Allen wasn’t my guy. However, if someone that the Bills would come out with a top 4 QB and a consensus top 10 player, without giving up anything in 2019, I probably would have kissed them. 8 2
clearwater cadet Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Next year we are 90 million plus under the cap, fill whole then. Just continue to develop roster this year. Franchise Qb is the one position that can't be filled via FA. 2

But if their goal was to simply make a big splash, then mission accomplished.

(especially after the tweets as no team wants to deal with that). 1

Clearly there were two distinct points of view before the draft.. and my sense of it was that they were pretty evenly held overall. Anyway... now we know how it turned out. They didn't save their picks to fix multiple roster holes (sorry Mr Beane but you do have some)... they went after a potential franchise quarterback... and got one. Time to put all the arguing to bed now... onward and upward... hopefully.

In 15 years if Allen turns out to be big ben and has a hall of fame career, are you actually going to care that the Bills traded 2 second round picks to get him?

Were you a SB Contender with those added picks? What your coaches did was trade up for a QB they feel can be the leader of the franchise for the next decade and they didn’t give up much to do it. They also traded up for a player they feel is better than on e they felt be at pick 22. As for late picks, while you can get some good players, most talent there can be found in a good UDFA class. For an example the Pats usually always have one UDFA make the team every year andhad a SB hero who was just that the very SAME Year. Also they could trade down today and aquire more late round picks so stop worrying..trust the process and give it some time, remember they just broke the playoff drought in year one! 2 1
