SKOOBY Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I personally think that a proven talent is better than a potential talent, so who can we grab now that it takes a 1st rounder to get??
Ramius Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 You're on to something here. Proven NFL players usually drive much nicer cars than pre-draft rookies.
Lori Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 You're on to something here. Proven NFL players usually drive much nicer cars than pre-draft rookies. Unless said rookies went to FSU.
CJPearl2 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 So who do you think we should sign or should have signed?
billsfreak Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I agree with you 100%. George Allen used to trade just about all of his draft picks for proven players, he didn't do to bad. Especially in todays NFL, by the time a player reaches his potential it is time for him to leave Buffalo as a Free Agent. Such as Jabari Greer, Nate Clements, Antoine Winfield, Jim Leonard, and several more. It is almost like the Bills are a farm team for much of the rest of the NFL.
lets_go_bills Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 You build through the draft. Daniel Snyder tried to build through FA and always traded away their picks and it didn't work. Then you have a team like San Diego who has a lot of homegrown talent and they built a talented winner. I think you must build through the draft and add some key FAs to fill holes and add veteran experience.
billsfreak Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Unless said rookies went to FSU. That could be our problem, we aren't drafting from FSU? We have only drafted one player from FSU since 1995-Sam Cowart in 1998.
lets_go_bills Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 lol, Chris Weinke! Draft a 35 year old rookie QB!
Justice Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 You can't simply build your team through free agency. Players in the draft are generally a lot cheaper, except for the first five picks overall. It would cost way too much loot to build your team with free agents. The Bills do need to keep their own when their contracts are up, I'll give you that.
