Fewell733 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Not over Reed, in addition to Reed. You know, 3 WR's, a RB, and a TE? that works for me
Armchair GM Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I dont know, I just dont see this trade happening. I feel like the Bills could have pulled the trigger on this a month ago but instead are probably going to wait until after the draft before they do anything. I personally hate the waiting game. No TE the Bills could draft in the 3rd is as good as Scheffler is now. I think they didn't want to part with any draft picks, but with the Peter's situation deteriorating we could potentially net a 1st and 3rd for him, making this trade even more possible.
MattM Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Trade Peters to the Eales/Lions for their first rounders (Lions 20, Eagles 21) and thirds. Use one of the thirds to trade for Scheffler. Use the Bills two first rounders on a DE and LT (in either order), the second round pick on a LG (Robinson, the best in class may still be on the board) and sign Keiaho or June at OLB and then go best available with the other 3rd through 7th. From last year's team we'd regress on LT (albeit not as much as people think since JP played only in 11 or 12 games and took 3-4 of those to get back in shape) and possibly at LG, but would probably be much stronger at C (how can anyone not be an upgrade over Preston and Fowler?), LB (between Keiaho/June and Poz being in his 2nd full year), TE, WR and DL (between Schobel coming back and a first rounder DE). Trent has one more year under his belt, we have the same RB's (albeit missing Lynch probably two games) and our secondary is probably a push in losing Greer but getting Florence and Leodis having another year under his belt. Our special teams should be better (the light went on for Leodis somewhere around mid-season) due to increased depth as well. If we can play relatively injury-free and hit on most of our early round picks this team may not be half bad and may be set up pretty nicely for the next few years--TO and Schobel being the only real oldsters on the squad.....
Frez Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Is any team really interested in Jason Peters and his contract demands? I doubt it.
lets_go_bills Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 They need to bring this guy in. Fills a huge need and saves us from using an earlier round pick on an unproven TE.

Gee, nice post, MattM. Have you contacted Brandon on this yet? I'm certain he'll appreciate the advice.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Is any team really interested in Jason Peters and his contract demands? I doubt it. I think there will be atleast two teams. Detroit and Philly. Graham is reporting in the other thread that he thinks a first and a third could be traded for Peters. If this is the case then Bills have all the flexibilty to make the Scheffler trade a reality. But will take a 3rd and a 5th.Which would work out great. Get a starter ready TE with a third. Fith rounders are a crap shoot and usually take two years to develope into a true starter if ever. There are a few exceptions to that.

There are a few exceptions to that. If we can use a higher 3rd rounder (because of a Peters trade getting us another 3rd) to get Scheffler, I am all for it. Our current early 3rd rounder is like a late 2nd normally because of the depth of this draft.
IHFO Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Gee, nice post, MattM. Have you contacted Brandon on this yet? I'm certain he'll appreciate the advice. WTF what is this about..since when are people not allowed to give their opinion about what this team should do..chill out

You basically hit the nail on the head. Anyone who thinks that trading for Scheffler is worse than drafting a potential bust TE needs their head screwed back on, especially when there's depth in other positions needed that could be better filled by those high picks.
basskik11 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Id do it for a second in asecond. I Agree. We need a TE and I think we need to draft some sort of a defensive lineman in the 1st round. I think Scheffler is worth a second round pick.
