Etienne thought he was going to be a Bill

[DJB]

Not surprised, but he went too soon and the asking price for a move up was probably too high.

We saw in the Bills Embedded video we were trying to move up in the first. We'll probably never know who it was for and that's probably for the best. If Beane was trying to trade up for a RB I'd rather not know about it.

Never wanted him. Give me Rousseau and Boogie all day.

He believed the smokescreen as well.  Poor guy.

I thought they were trying to allude to the fact we were looking to move up for Rousseau.

I wish he was a Bill but, Can't complain about not moving up if the price was too high

How can you say this? If Etienne ends up a HOF and Rousseau is out of the league after his rookie contract would your view still hold water? A top level RB who can also line up wide and catch as good as a starting caliber slot receiver is more valuable than an average pass rusher any day.

Of course they’d give that impression in any way they can

And if Rousseu  ends up a HOF DE and Etienne is out of the league after his rookie contract?

Only guys I would have been willing to trade up for were Greg Newsome and Kwity Paye. I think all the Etienne talk was just a smokescreen. 

[TBBills]

I think that was what Beane tried to do was move up when it failed b.c the other team didn't want to move back so far.

And if Etienne does end up being a Christian McCafferry talent, do you pay a RB $16M/yr when it comes to their second contract?

Got his hopes up! Probably wishful thinking on his part. Let’s see....Bills or Jags? Who are you picking to play for for the the next 4-5 years? 

 

He’s used to winning.

I mean the inverse could happen too. Rousseau the All-pro and Etienne is another average RB

In poker if you make a call on the turn with a hand that has a 5% chance of winning, and get there on the river, did you make a good call?

 

Doesn't matter if ETN ends up being Barry Sanders and Rousseau another Aaron Maybin.

That's not relevant, obviously anyone here would be happy with that...it doesn't change the fact that this board throws hissy fits at times as to how we should have drafted Metcalf, Wilson, etc...

Yeah and? That's like saying "Well if you make more money you have to pay more taxes" I'll gladly take the problem of not paying my star running back after getting to enjoy having that RB for 5 years.

In a vacuum that's true, but look at people with Mahomes, Metcalf and others...plenty of people here have buyer's remorse.

Considering how they've already talked about using him in Jacksonville probably.
