H2o Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 They are going to be looking to get OL almost certainly. There are some GOOD OT prospects that will be coming off of the board very early. This was a comment from Mike Mayock from The NFL Network, "That offensive line, bottom line they’ve got to get some youth infused in there, especially at the tackle position. What’s sitting there in the early 20s at tackle will be very interesting.” What about what's sitting there at #11? If one of the top 4 guys fall to our slot at #11 our phone could be ringing because of the Eagles. Andre Smith, Jason Smith, Eugene Monroe, or Michael Oher could be too tempting for them to pass up. Using the draft points chart, http://www.sportznutz.com/nfl/draft/draft_...value_chart.htm I've got something that makes sense. We trade them the #11 pick for their #21 and #28 picks in the first. Our pick is slotted to be worth 1,250 points, the #21 and #28 pick are worth a combined 1,460 points. We would then swap 2nd and 3rd round choices to make the trade even. Giving them the 43rd and 75th while we get the 52nd and 83rd. We then could take Michael Johnson @ #21 and the best player available at a position of need @ #28, maybe Clint Sintim(LB, UVA), Percy Harvin(WR, Florida), or Duke Robinson(OG, Oklahoma). It would definitely work out well for us. Sorry, had to edit. I had them at #20 and #28 when it's actually #21 and #28. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just excellent work H2o! Thanks for the effort and thought process. Impossible to have too many intelligent, well-researched posts on this message board. I like the trade proposal. It works on the trade value chart so it's actually something that could happen in the real world. http://www.profootballtalk.com/draft/draft-trade-chart/ Like JJBuffalo also suggests it depends on who's sitting there when our turn comes up and it would be tough to pass up Raji. Also, I'm not a big Johnson fan but the framework of the deal makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have advocated for trading down for extra picks. Thanks for actually providing a plausible scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i would trade down in a millisecond however it is very difficult to do. if we were fortunate enough to trade down then taking the TE or the center would be great value. even a DE because i dont believe there are any DE prospects worthy of #11 because they dont fit our scheme.

Thurman#1 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If we trade back, it will almost certainly be for Mack or Pettigrew. But if I were the Eagles, I wouldn't even think of making this trade. If I'm the Bills, I would love it, though not if Mack or Curry were still there.

H2o Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Or with that #21 pick we could take Pettigrew, if he's thought of that highly. It's also conceivable our DE could fall to us at the #28 pick and we could take Larry English. Now I've seen mocks that have him going to Chicago and some not having him in the 1st at all. He would be a great player to get @ #28. Our only stumbling block would be who the Patsies select. They could take English and try to make the guy an OLB. If they did that then Brian Cushing just may fall into our lap. Either way, we get the consensus best TE in the draft and a DE or OLB in round 1. Round 2 we could take Robert Ayers if we take Cushing in Round 1 or we could take Ziggy Hood(DT, Missouri) if English falls to us. Round 3 we could then take Eric Wood(C, Louisville). Best case scenario IMO would be Pettigrew, Cushing, Ayers, and Wood. Our draft would be SOLID on those three rounds alone regardless of who we got the rest of the way. In the 4th take Augustus Parrish(OT, Kent St.), in the 5th take C.J. Davis(OG, Pitt), in the 6th take Jamarko Simmons(WR, Western Mich.), and in the 7th take Travis McCall(FB, Alabama). That would give us a draft of: 1a. Brandon Pettigrew (TE,Ok. St.) 1b. Brian Cushing (OLB, USC) 2. Robert Ayers (DE, Tenn.) 3. Eric Wood (C, Louis.) 4. Augustus Parrish (OT, Kent St.) 5. C.J. Davis (OG, Pitt) 6. Jamarko Simmons (WR, Western Mich.) 7. Travis McCall (FB, Alabama) We'd be praised for our draft for once, by the "Draft Experts" anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnutinphoenix Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like the move... unless someone like Raji is there at 11 Raji is a 3-4 NT...Peria Jerry makes more sense for Bills.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Raji is a 3-4 NT...Peria Jerry makes more sense for Bills.. Raji would play well in a 2-4 defense if there was one. The guy will play well in any defensive scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckyFillUps Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That would let us draft Micheal Johnson and Darrius Heyward-Bey. I like it alot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Yes, the reports that I've read say that Raji would be outstanding in any scheme. That's why his value is so high. Peria Jerry is a good fit for the Bills style-wise (one-gap attacker) but I would bet that most (would-be Bills') GMs would take Raji at #11, even if we were assured of Jerry at #43.

bisonbrigade Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 In thar scenerio I would draft #21 TE Brandon Pettigrew and #28 C Alex Mack. Second round choice would be Robert Ayers DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I don't believe I want Mack after I heard how he was getting handled at the Senior Bowl practices, by everyone basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I love it. I'm a big fan of moving down. Picking up extra picks within the first three rounds is huge. This trade would allow us to take the top DE prospect left (Johnson or English) and then I'd like us to grab OG Duke Robinson. He looks like a stud and bringing him in would allow us to let Dockery go and open up some cap room. Then we can grab the top OLB prospect left (Matthews or Sintim) in the 2nd then go C in the 3rd (Wood or Caldwell). All of a sudden the Bills have filled all their needs with some exciting prospects.

CFLstyle Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We need a centre. If we trade down, we have to go for it. I know Mack's going around there most likely, not sure if Max Unger or any of the others would fit in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I don't believe I want Mack after I heard how he was getting handled at the Senior Bowl practices, by everyone basically. H20 that was not the lowdown on Mack for the Senior Bowl Practices, He was the consensus Best all around Center Hands down by most of the Draft gurus during the Senior Bowl. If you look back at some of the threads, you'll see the commentary. In some of those commentary's, they said that the only center that was able to handle Raji on at least some plays was Mack.

iinii Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Raji would play well in a 2-4 defense if there was one. The guy will play well in any defensive scheme. kind of like knight telling someone to play jordan at center until they found one? players play no matter what the scheme. sure some are adapted to certain styles better than others, but tell me bruce smith, ray lewis, reggie white, or lawrence taylor would have been busts in the wrong scheme.
