Bakin Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Trade for #16 with Atlanta Falcons give up #22 and #54 Select WR CeeDee Lamb. Yes or No? Edited February 8, 2020 by Bakin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nester Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) No we can get a great WR at 22 (or even 54) this year and a solid player at 54. A great WR class like this means you can get quality WRs later due to high supply. BB has been great making picks so far. Give him more picks, not less.

KD in CA Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The correct answer as always is, "unless you need a new QB, just say no to trade-ups' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we have many “holes” at all. We need depth at certain positions, but we’re not devoid of talent. WR is a little different because we have our solid #2 and our slot guy. We need a 1. With that said, I think we should stay put at 22 and see who falls. If we go another position at 22 then a trade up in 2 is definitely on the table. Either way, we need to come away with a top receiver in the first 2 rounds. Edited February 9, 2020 by whorlnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 If he falls to sixteen and Ruggs is gone, likely Jeudy will be as well, I'd hop on this.....So yes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 For Jeudy I'd make that trade, not Lamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure. Lamb is enough to test my "Never trade up" mantra and this trade doesn't seem all that bad. Having said that, the WR class is strong enough that I think I'd lean towards just staying at 22 or trading down. I'd understand if we did pull the trigger though.

OldTimer1960 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think no I would not trade up for Lamb. Pending FA, Bills will have a number of holes to fill including WR, OL, DE, possibly DT. i am all for trying to get top offensive play makers, but I don’t know that Lamb is so good that he justifies trading their 2nd pick for. Now, if they resign Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson and add to the OL in FA, then maybe trading up for a WR is a reasonable plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I appreciate that Lamb is in the upper tier, but in this class I feel like you're better off taking a WR with 22 & 54, rather than packaging them for 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s why we’re trading up. RT? Well we just drafted Cody Ford so I guess you’re expecting a third round rookie to be better than him from the jump? We need to spend a high draft pick on a SLB who is gonna see the field <50% of snaps? CB? Were we bad at CB last year? Feel like we have a top 3 CB already and had a great pass defense. We also have a couple quality slot DBs. It’s hardly a desperate need. DE would be nice but it’s hard to draft an impact rookie at that position in the mid rounds. The bottom line is that this team doesn’t have a lot of needs when it comes to the modern NFL. Every team has “needs” that boil down “it’d be nice to have an upgrade.” We really “need” a WR and maybe a DE and that’s it. Every other position on top of that is just a bonus. 23 hours ago, OldTimer1960 said: I think no I would not trade up for Lamb.

We have Oliver and Phillips already! Are we really saying we should pass on a day one starter type player at WR because we need a rotational defensive tackle??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The conventional wisdom is always no...until it's yes. This point in time is the exception to the rule, where it makes sense, given where we want Josh to go in year three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostwriter Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 No. I want Justin Jefferson at 22. I also like KJ Hill like a lot a lot. He is projected as a second round pick. Aiyuk looks like could be good too. Way too many solid wide receivers to be going up for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think we need at least one go-to target for josh, so if we don't have one or two by then yes. I assume we will have fa"s filling that need by the time the draft rolls around because they will be better targets, knowing where they need to be, the checks, etc. Older guys whose contracts can be removed from the books when we need to pay josh and the other draft picks.
