John from Riverside Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 To me it is either Bosa or trade down and accumulate more picks....and continue to draft OL and WR in this next draft (and a QB in there somewhere)

It is to acquire talent.... and ideally elite talent. You do not turn down an elite pass rusher to try and secure enough picks to fill all your holes. If it takes 2 drafts it takes 2 drafts..... if they are in position to take Bosa or Oliver they should do it. Â It might be better to say would you pass on Bruce Smith in 1985 to further show the lunacy of this train of thought...

Â Indeed. Team had a lot of holes was a 2-14 team (I think.... I was 1) and was a few years away from competing. If they had taken the "use the draft to fill holes approach" then they would never have benefitted from that elite level play that Bruce brought to the team for years to come.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Is this real life?   The Bills were never in tank mode.    Maybe the Raiders but Jon Gruden shot that "leaked" story downÂ

I think Josh could benefit the most from a good run attack. Most elite run attacks start and end with the OLine fwiw - though I agree, a Shady replacement for the future would be nice. Not sure it's worth a first round pick though. Looks like the new breakout RBs can be had for a 2nd/3rd/4th

I have no doubt we will be picking top 3. Our offense struggles to put up over 10 points a game and our defense is decent (not top 5 or even top 10 like everyone thinks). We have played 2 bad offenses in a row, every other good QB we have faced this season our defense got ripped apart.  So what do we do? Trade back or take the top guy available? I doubt anyone has the draft capital to trade up for #1, especially for a defensive end. This is prob one of the worst drafts to own the #1 overall pick. There is no generational type player available, and no top QB's that other teams want to trade out of the pick. We will most likely draft one of the two top DE's.  QB Justin Herbert looks like there may be a bunch of teams looking for his services if he keeps going imo. But as of now it looks like a few WR are in the top 10 , A.J. Brown of Ole Miss and N'Keal Harry of Arizona State look like they can be the #1 WR here.

No reason why we can't win another two games this year which would likely put us outside the top 5. Right.  Whether or not you think Allen is the answer long term, he's played terribly.  There's really no reason to think Derek Anderson will be worse. As a matter of fact, I expect he'll be better.  McDermott finds ways to win despite horrendous QB play. I see us winning 5 or 6 games.
MJS Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 We finally have a great chance to be the worst team in the league? Â I'm so happy...
ndirish1978 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 we will win 5+ games and pick around 7-9 Â 1

H2o Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 The defense is too good for us to even end up with a top 5 pick. I think at worst we're still looking at 6-10 being between picks 7-10.Â
billsfan89 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 You know the team is going to somehow scratch out 3-4 more wins to win 5-6 games and get a pick outside the top 5. The defense is too good and the organization always seems to have a knack of winning 2 meaningless games on the backend of a season to ***** up draft positioning.Â

TFBillsfan Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I don’t have as much confidence regarding Anderson as some do. Right now we are trending for a pick in the top 5. IMO, draft stud OT with your 1st pick, acquire OG in free agency. Draft WR or TE in the 2nd, sign another FA WR, draft in 3rd or 4th round OLB or CB or sign in FA. Resign Anderson as experienced QB, resign Phillip Gaines as DT. Keep Shady and sign some another RB as depth. IMO, DL is not a critical need based upon who we have and the results we are seeing.  I also wonder what signing drama will come with Bosa?
Aussie Joe Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Surely the Bills can’t be worse than the Cardinals this year?

Clemfield2622 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 If they take a defender anywhere near the top 10 in this draft, it's going to be awful
