An Idea for a potential Bills draft trade down with Atlanta!

[Pete]

According to draft chart:

25 = 720 points

43 = 470

58 = 330

74 = 220

 

we would gain 200 on draft chart.  
espeneza, ford, and moss for 3rd round pick badically

 

they day if you get decent two starters, it’s a successful draft

Atlanta would have 2 first rounders, and new, young starting DE, G, RB

 

we would clear cap space, and draft superior replacements

Could a 4th round pick (Gab Davis) make the roster?
Or a 4th round pick like Taron Johnson?

Sure, 4th rounders tend to be should performers.

 

Honestly, an extra 4th round WR selection could easily push Marquez Stevenson or Isaiah Hodgins off the roster.  Which would improve the roster.  

Could? Sure. Could a first or second round receiver/CB make immediate contributions? I trust Beane's band of merry men to pick the correct player in round 1 or 2 more than I trust them in later rounds.

Nope - we do not need additional picks.  Move up from 2nd round and 3rd - even round 1.

Get me 4-5 guys in this draft to fill in.

 

I don’t need 9-10 picks with this roster.  Get me some talent to grow with.

 

 

I wouldn’t mind a small trade down and then trade up…. Get a CB, OG and WR…..before 89…..

Unless we can get a good guard at 89?

I think we need three good players out of this draft, a OG, WR and CB…. Then we need help at CB,LB and P…..

There are many combinations of trade downs.

 

generally pure pick trades don’t happen before the draft.  
 

teams either making a deal to fill a position on their roster which can involve also pick swaps for slots they couldn’t fill in free agency.

 

the only trades of note befire draft began have been with teams targeting a QB

 

1. jets colts trade opin 2018

2. Buffalo traded up with cincinati where Buffalo send them their OT ibefire 2018 draft.

3. SF trade up with Miami last year to target a QB.

Historically, #25 seems to net some solid returns: Aiyuk, Marquise Brown, Hurst, Shaq Thompson, jason verett. More good than bad recently

If the top four corners are off the board at #25, here is a potential trade, down the board, that I think would be ideal for our Bills...

 

Falcons get:

#25 (720)

#89 (145)

Zack Moss

—————-

Total (865)

 

Bills get:

#43 (470)

#74 (220)

#82 (180)

—————-

Toal (870)

With this trade, the Bills would have 43, 57, 74, and 82 to address CB, WR, OL, and RB if they wanted to...What do you think? Do you like this scenario, given the circumstance?

 

Edit: Feel free to remove Zack Moss if you want...I just threw him in because we would likely be upgrading from him...👍

Atlanta will give us another draft pick if we leave Moss out of the deal.

Of course, just because you DRAFT a guy in the first round doesn't mean that he will be worthy of that pick, especially at 25 or higher.  The value has to be there or you whole premise is faulty from the jump.

 

I have just checked rosters from last league year for the entire AFC and 1 of the 4 divisions in the NFC so far, and I have only found 14 number 1 picks.  So I'm not at all sure that I'll even find the 27 first round picks which represent the top 32 corners.  And of those 14, there are at least 2 or 3 that are so-so journeymen like Eli Apple who is on his fourth team and now possibly his fifth.

You are right.   1st round picks are NOT slam dunks to be good NFL players.   

Thus trading a 1st round pick for Stefon Diggs was a good value proposition.
