If they pass on WR at #27, I do wonder what’s left at #59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 7 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said: If we don't take WR at 27, it better be OT, TE or Robinson That’s the perceived dilemma. No fan is excited about Bernard, Dodson or Spector competing. Maybe the Bills are telling the truth, and they think 1 of those 3 can be a starting MLB. If so, then WR is firmly in play at #27. But the other factor here is, there are only two linebackers in this draft that scouts are excited about as a starting MLB - Sanders and Campebell. If you pass on both of them at #27, are you betting that you can get one of them at #59? And with only (6) picks, can the Bills really afford to trade up? And so, it’s pass on Campbell/Sanders at #27 and then having to trade back 10-picks or so to get one of them, and what are you getting for that move down? A 4th? That doesn’t solve the weapons problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Zach Cunningham wait for a veteran LB to be cut in the summer Or trade a late 2024 draft pick for an LB that isn't a scheme fit on their team I'm just tired of spending premium picks on Defense Edited April 10, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know the 2023 cap is less than $8M in space now, and that’s got to cover rookies and IR money, and Beane has said 2024 is already tight. So they need cheap labor. Dip into 2024 picks to secure a weapon and Campbell/Sanders early in this draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we weren’t going to sign a big money guy, and the team is better than it was before the signing.

He's been a very good player for the Bills, and you certainly aren't going to get an upgrade for what he's making 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
