Let’s just end this. You arent getting my point. I’m barely grasping yours. It really doesn’t matter. I think NFL teams overvalue draft picks and undervalue proven veterans. Thats the extent of it.

Now that's a fair enough statement but not what you were saying earlier. First round draft picks are extremely valuable and can be used to obtain proven veterans or top notch prospects. You inferred that they were not very important because they might not be used properly. That's not the problem with the draft pick itself but with the person choosing who to pick with the draft pick.

The Bears are going to be good. That defense has a ton of playmakers and youth. Raiders on the other hand are going to be a dumpster fire during Grudens tenure. He should have stayed in the booth.

Well I guess so since they got the deal done.

 

"No other team seemed willing to part ways with that much draft capital"  NO KIDDING!

The Bills will still have to deal with him on November 4th at New Era.

We beat him last year. We were never giving up 2 1st round picks or paying him QB money. Yes it would have been amazing to have such a great pass-rusher but we have to move on. It all would have cost way too much.

Yea it’s not easy for the room when their best player gets traded.

My whole point was the Bills weren’t going to trade the picks for Mack because they were afraid to give them up. And I feel like most of the time we just waste them anyway and I think they should be more willing to trade them for proven talent.

love all the people who danced on the Mack threads here for weeks saying he would never be traded, he would be tagged, we were all stupid, etc. 

This board is filled with "that guy" and "that guy" responds in that manner to everything.

 

 

As an aside, I find it funny that some Bills fans have probably now dedicated more time to this thread and the issue of what is going to happen to Mack than actually watching a Bills game.

I'm talking about the 4th pre-season game, admittedly, against the Bears, and it was a **** show for almost all of it, but still.

 

I find it really weird that a Bills fan who lives at this forum would then not actually watch a Bills game, but chime in over and over about Khalil F-ing Mack.

I’m still left scratching my head on why Gruden would let him go.  Bears!  Talk about a dark horse winning the race.

 

didn't trust the process.

I hope so. I think Gruden is an overrated snake oil salesman.

That wasn't your point at all. You clearly stated that 1st round draft picks weren't all that important. I thought that was a rather ridiculous statement when in the same paragraph you stated that mid round draft pics could bring good players. I haven't seen this regime too afraid to give up draft pics and I certainly haven't seen them just waste them anyway. I'll be sitting on pins and needles waiting for your latest revision of the statement I first objected to.

I respect teams going big.  This might pay off long term for the Raiders but I would hate it if I was a fan.

Gruden does have that arrogance about him. He always has. I think you see the Raiders end up in the toilet within 2 years and Gruden resigning his position within 4.

If the Bills had hired Gruden, that would have been the ultimate test for me, personally.
