Peter Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I apologize if this already has been posted. I heard a rumor on Sirius that the Cowboys are gaga over Huff. Many of the mock drafts have him being picked by Detroit (the pick right after ours). If the above is correct, the Cowboys are a potential draft day trade partner. They pick at 18. That may be too far down the board depending on who we may want at 18 and would still be available. It also will depend on whether whoever we may be targeting is still available at the 8 spot and what else the Cowboys (or anyone else for that matter) may be offering. If, for example, D'Brick is still there, we really have to take him. According to one value chart I saw, the 8th pick is worth 1400 points. The 18th pick is worth 900 points. The 49th pick (the Cowboys second round pick) is worth 410 points. The Cowboys' third round pick is worth 190 points. They do not have a fourth round pick. Just food for thought.

OnTheRocks Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 unless D'Brickashaw Ferguson or Mario Williams is available, I am in favor of trading down. the Bills have too many needs and the more picks they have to help fill those needs the better off they will be.

Rubes Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I agree, we should trade down if the option is there, unless one of those two guys happen to be there (which they won't). However, I wonder if the recent CBA dealings might have some affect on Jones and his willingness to do business with Ralph, even on draft day? My guess is that it won't, particularly since this would have more to do with Jones getting what he wants, rather than the other way around.

They have too many needs to get two mediocre players instead of one impact player, so trading down no matter what makes about as much sense as taking a lineman no matter what. But if we can find a team that wants to pick at #8 more than we do (because of Cutler, Huff, whoever) and they will give us more value, let's do it.

ans4e64 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 more importantly, who would you want us to pick at 18? if the cowboys want a safety, Jason Allen should be there from Tennessee at 18, hes a good player, im not sure why they would want to give up the extra picks for Huff but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, picks 8 to 30 are roughly the same in this draft. It's either you get one of the top 7 guys, or you trade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I enjoy reading about whom the Bills have drafted on Sunday afternoon and Monday, that's exactly how much I dislike spending my time waiting for the selections to occur. This year I continue my three-years-and-running tradition of hitting the links on Draft Saturday at around noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
