3 #1's for us

[BeastMode54]

If we trade Peters and if we trade down in the draft, is it possible for us to get 3 1st round picks? or is it more likely another 1 and an extra two and 3? We would be in a good position to draft some great players if that happened, but I'd rather see them re-sign Peters. But with those draft picks we should be able to fill some major holes

If Ron Wolf or Ozzie Newsome was doing our drafting, maybe it's a good idea. Based on this groups track record, I say sign Peters.

Good point, but Ohio State has a 1st round DB in this draft we need to take him.

[aristocrat]

more likely we have a couple seconds...

[abqmarko]

I think Peters could gather us a #1 and an additional #2 or #3 depending on the team's draft order. I'd say go for it.

I don't think we should count out our front office's ability to draft.

I might say we look a little better

We're unlikely to get two firsts.

 

Mainly because we are spectacularly unlikely to trade Peters. Luckily.

There is no way trading Peters will net us 2 1st round picks. He is not Jay Cutler.

Jay Cutler never played a playoff game or even had a winning season in Denver. Players like that are one-in-a-million.

At least we could get an extra 1st, maybe 2 2nds and a 3rd if we trade Peters and trade down. Although I still want to sign Peters

lmao that was a good one

I actually totally agree...if you compare the draft history, ours is clearly more succesful. NE gets a lot of credit for excellent drafts because they win, but a lot of their success comes from bringing in role players that fit their system in FA. They have had a few impact players in the draft, but we've clearly had more.

I'd like to refute that...

 

For those that believe (as I do) that the game is won in the trenches, New England's entire starting offensive and defensive lines are draft picks, as are the top 2 backups on both lines. That makes 10 starters and 4 backups. Other notable draft picks for NE:

 

Tom Brady

Jerod Mayo

Ben Watson

Lawrence Maroney

Ellis Hobbs

Tedy Bruschi

 

For a total of 16 starters and 4 backups drafted.

 

Now let's go to Buffalo's impact draft picks:

 

Trent Edwards

Marshawn Lynch

Lee Evans

Brad Butler (it's a real stretch, but hey, I'm trying to give the FO the benefit of the doubt)

Aaron Schobel (although it was a different regime)

Kyle Williams (again, benefit of the doubt)

Paul Posluszny

Terrence McGee (again, different regime)

Leodis McKelvin

Donte Whitner

 

For a total of 10 starters drafted, 2 of which came from the Donahoe regime.

 

Now compare the quality of player of each club....not even close. Patriots win by a mile.

I dont think there is a way to get 3 1st round pics

I think the best case scenario is for us to get 2 first round pics as follows:

Buffalo trades Peters to Philly for a 1st, and a 3rd

 

Buffalo trades their 1st to the Jets who are begging us to have the 11th pick overall so that they can draft Sanchez, or Freeman over Denver who now is in need of a young QB with talent, and upside. We would pick up the Jets 1st, and possibly 2nd, or 3rd.

 

With this we could possibly go with Ayers, Pettigrew, Mack/Unger with our first 3 picks. IMO that would be a fantastic draft. or maybe someone like Brown, or even Raji (now that hes a drug addict) slides down to the pick we got from the Jets. We would still have 2 2nds, or 2 3rds left to take more depth at OLB, CB, OT, OG, RB.

Thanks for that. I suspected that you were a troll but I wasn't quite sure. Nice touch.

I realize that 3 1st round picks sounds sexy but don't forget you have to pay them to.

Did you ever think about who would play LEFT TACKLE?

 

Good bye Trent, hello Ryan Fitzpatrick

[aristocrat]

^you can get starting LT's late in the first round. Ryan Clady went 12 last year, marcus mcneill 2nd round, tony ugoh 2nd round and obviously the incredible longshot of peters going undrafted. point is..trading peters will land us a 2nd maybe in a desperate move a first rounder but what team would give us a first rounder??? the eagles 28th pick...the pats would somehow pull that deal off but wont happend, the lions 20th pick...maybe if millen was running the show. we'll trade back pick up another 2nd and a 2nd with peters leaves us with a mid/late first rounder and 3 2nd rounders which would be a great draft for us

[BuffaloBill]

You are high if you think we can get three number ones
