  1. 1. Do you want the Bills to win this week vs Patsies?

    • Yes, winning is always better even if it gives the Pats the first pick
    • No, I will take the loss to lower the Pats draft pick
    • Don't care, just be healthy

Sweeping the division would be great, as would beating the Pats with our backups. They're years away from competing with us anyway, so I don't personally care too much about their potential draft capital. Let's go into the postseason with the momentum of a division win. 

Always win.  Make it part of your DNA.  F the Pats, Phins, Jets.  They deserve to lose every matchup as far as I’m concerned.

I voted don’t care and just be healthy. That’s my main concern. I almost lean toward “no” otherwise. If the Pats were locked into like the 3rd pick, I wouldn’t care. At 1 though, all that they need is one desperate team to make a Bryce Young type of trade and it jumpstarts their revival. I like Maye and think that they already have their QB. If they get a haul for that pick, they have a chance to be really good in a year or 2. I think that the rest of the division is heading backwards. I’d just assume as many more years as we can have, in Josh’s prime, where the division is complete trash.

I'm always amazed at how much stock people put in the draft. During the drought years we always had high picks and it never made a difference. Now, some of our best talent is late round picks (Milano etc). The draft is a tool, but it's not the end all be all. Patriots having the number 1 pick isn't gonna turn them into a superbowl contender, at least not right away

There is a lot of data behind it though. You can go round by round and will find more starters, pro bowlers, all pros, etc.. are picked earlier. While there are guys like Milano and Taron, the data says you’re much more likely to add impact players earlier. If they get something like 2 number 1’s and 2 number 2’s to slide back a few spots, that’s bad for the Bills. If they start to add talent around Maye, they will quickly be the 2nd best team in the AFCE. I’d rather they don’t get the chance to start closing the gap that much. Let’s keep the whole division bad.
