An edge rusher has been an issue for quite some time and is concerning that it’s still a top need after all the resources Beane/ McDermott have put into the position. Also #1 WR has to be pretty high on the list as well. 

 

Finding a game-wrecking edge rusher in the draft is much like finding a franchise QB prospect; they are seldom found outside the Top Ten, and too frequently, the prospects don't work out to be as good as hoped for.  For a team like the Bills that drafts at the bottom of the first round, that means trading up in the draft to get a premium spot or trading/signing a veteran.  The draft is such a crap shoot, even in the top ten, that I don't think I'd trade up to get in position to grab a top DE/EDGE.

 

That leaves spending resources on trading/signing a veteran that's already proven as the only realistic alternative.  The veteran is going to cost big $$$, and sometimes that goes south because of injuries as it did with Von Miller.   It's the only thing the Bills can realistically do if they're serious about winning a Super Bowl, so I'm on the "trade for Myles Garrett" bandwagon.

You know there is a difference between free agency and trades?

As it stands right now there is not a dominant difference maker about to hit free agency. That could change. Strange things happen. But seems unlikely. 

So if you want a true difference maker then Beane needs to deal draft picks and get a star like he did with Diggs. 

Look at last years draft. Not a single player made a difference. 2nd and 3rd round picks barely played all year. Coleman had a couple good games. You can not expect the next draft to find a superstar that contributes right away. If you want that you need to trade some draft picks.
