I wouldn't "give up a pick" but move down a round, sure. Took the words right out of my mouth. i don’t think he’s “slot only” as some have said. I’d give up a 5th if I could get a 6th or 7th in return. that said, I expect a team that values WR more than us to be interested enough to give up more than us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Naw, wait. Houston can't keep all those WRs. They'll have to cut someone. Why give up a draft pick at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Hmmm 5th for Metchie? Is he a top 4 WR on our team? Maybe IMO it would be wise to still look at WR options. Samuel has turf toe, which could have him miss a fair amount of games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 Another WR rumored to be on the trade block -- but for whom I won't make a separate thread -- is Carolina Panther Terrace Marshall Jr. I mention him because he was with Joe Brady at LSU, and Brady specifically played a big part in Marshall getting drafted by the Panthers. His pro career hasn't blossomed yet (partly due to injury), but changes in scenery (particularly to come play with a coach with whom one has already had success) sometimes do wonders for a player's confidence and success. I think Marshall could be had for less than Metchie. Something like swapping a 6th for a 7th. And despite the Bills already having Coleman and Mack Hollins at X, it's a move I'd be interested in making. Basically, I'd just like the Bills to take another swing at WR before the season starts. Metchie, Marshall, or a post-cutdown-day waiver wire add. I think they need one more legit guy in that group. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 This is a no brainer if he's truly available. We have very little upside in the room as it stands today. Metchie gives us some upside. He has essentially been out of football for 2 years with just a bit of ramp up time last year so you have to think he would go for a later day three pick. As for the player he is basically an unknown but he showed enough in college to be drafted relatively high. Where is the downside here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need someone who can play outside 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBBills Fan Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I like feel good stories. Kid beat cancer, 2nd round talent. Ulterior motive-would be epic if we got a WR that outperformed diggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 1 hour ago, BuffaloBillsGospel2014 said: I would much rather have a clear upgrade. To be fair, I think Metchie is almost CERTAINLY an upgrade over Tyrell Shavers, and very possibly an upgrade over Mack Hollins or MVS as well (at least as a pure receiver). I think Coleman/Metchie/Shakir would be a very nice "upside" (to use HappyDays' notion) trio going forward, with Samuel and Hollins and MVS as the trusty vets for the time being. Metchie has inside/outside versatility, good size, and good college production. I would love to add a guy with his potential and his skillset to our offense, and I feel the cost would be relatively minimal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 So far we have threads on WRs with cancer and another with ACL/achilles injuries. What’s next, a WR with an extra toe or leprosy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York State taxes. Living in Buffalo. Cold weather. Likely won’t get a lot of snaps unless someone gets injured. Likely won’t offer much money. I think there might be other places he’d like to go. My point was…..there’s a great reason we would trade for him as opposed to just signing him as a fA. If we trade for him, he doesn’t have to choose us. He doesn’t have a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, on top of Collins, Diggs & Dell, they also have Robert Woods, Noah Brown (who came up big when Dell was out) and Ben Skowronek, who they traded for.

starrymessenger Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Texans released Noah Brown. Diggs will prolly be playing in Dallas next year. I don't think they are trading him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills wanted him - wouldn't they have got him back in the Diggs trade ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
