elijah Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 It seems player movement is at an all-time high and Brandon Beane has shown before he’s a fan of player trading. The combination of those two factors along with multiple players at positions of need being rumored - albeit small rumors - to be on the trading block, which position would it be most likely we make a move far at the deadline? I’m having trouble deciding myself seeing as at the three positions I think we’d be most likely, there seems to be something in the way. Between the regime not being ready to give up on players (Zay Jones), not wanting to delay the development of others (Cody Ford) and my personal thought of why dump more assets into a top 3 defense in the league, I’m not sure which position I think they’d trade for. However, it does seem semi-likely they may make a trade with receivers (AJ Green & Stefon Diggs) and offensive lineman (Trent Williams) apparently on the block. Thoughts?
bmur66 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Any impactful trade would require the Bills to give up draft pics and I don't see that happening 1
Happy Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I think they need to take a look at LT. Dawkins is LT depth or LG; not dependable enough to start at LT. If there happens to be an edge/DE, that is another need and would make our D-line an absolute monster. 1 1
RyanC883 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Trent Williams please. It's hard to find a guy with that skillset. I'm not sold on AJ Green being a WR answer. He may take a few games to get back into shape. Depends on the trade I suppose. Von Miller is interesting, but he's been blanked mostly this year? 1
Virgil Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I could see a WR swap for another underperforming player. Similar to the Hughes trade

I’m not sure where the Dawkins hate comes from. He’s not an all-pro left tackle but he’s done nothing to say that he’s not atleast an average starter at left tackle. He took a small step backwards last year but has rebounded for the most part this year. Most of our offensive line problems are coming from that right side of the o-line, and by the right side I mean really just mainly Cody Ford.
NewEra Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Offensive tackle. Left, right, don’t matter. Ford isn’t a tackle. Meaning we only have 2 capable tackles, one of which always seems to have a hurt knee. 1 1
H2o Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Quick, let's turn this into another blank blank thread!!! I vote WR. Wanna guess which one? 1
Dopey Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Of the options provided, I voted "other" in place of none. Offensively, we have almost a whole new lineup. We will get better as the season progresses. I think we're fine. If anything bring up Duke and keep our draft picks. Defensively, We're top 5 already, but Clowney is gone and Von Miller seems like a better 3-4 OLB than a pass rushing DE we might need. Hope we stay put and let the offense gel, bring up Duke and let the defense roll as it has been. Oh, wait, punter maybe? 1

If there happens to be an edge/DE, that is another need and would make our D-line an absolute monster. I think its important to look at some of the video review articles and not just come to knee jerk conclusions based on an untimely penalty or a couple bad plays that stand out. For those who subscribe to The Athletic, Joe Buscaglia does an All-22 review of each player for each game. Based on first four games this season Dawkins is ranked in that weekly analysis as the #4 highest graded player on the team, top rated OL, and would be highest ranked offensive player, except for Singletary who has very limited snaps. https://theathletic.com/1258181/2019/10/01/bills-all-22-review-dissecting-josh-allens-day-and-why-theres-more-to-zay-jones-than-meets-the-eye/ I don't think we'll be looking to trade a ton for Trent Williams... 1 1
BfloBillsFan Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I think the most impactful position would be WR, that's my vote. 1
Freddie's Dead Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I voted "other" for RB. If Motor is healthy, great, but if not, or if Frank or TJ go down, we need somebody to fill in.
Playoffs? Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Would be thrilled with WR, OL... or both! if this team wants to be a true postseason team, it needs to upgrade.
Chandler#81 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 No reason there need be only one. Wouldn’t be the 1st time Beane made 2 trades in one day. As for the comment we wouldn’t trade Draft pics, nothing is off the table when McBeane want to deal. Including 1st Rounders. 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 If Diggs is available for a 2nd rd pick you make that trade in a heartbeat. We need a lot more elite players on offense. It would be nice to have a top 5 WR and a top 5 player somewhere on the O-Line.
MAJBobby Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Right now OL is still a big problem. So unless they finally gel and start playing well together that is the area that needs to be addressed. Particularly OT 2

Have you actually watched him play football this year?
