BeastMode54 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/11642184 Just read that the Bills took the 1st and 4th and then the 6th or 7th next year to add flexibility. I would have taken the 1st and 3rd in a second. This just makes me even more mad than I already am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw a 6th or 7th Round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 If this is true, I'd love to know the reasoning behind wanting a 1 and a 4 this year and a 6 or 7 next year instead of a 1 and 3 this year. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton80 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Flexibility? What am I missing here? Most 6 and 7th rounders are camp fodder. A team with multiple holes turns away a third rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Possibly, hello Brian Waters and hello Tony Scheffler So we took a 4 instead of a 3 so we could possibly trade the pick for one of the guys mentioned? Why not take the 3 and then trade them our own 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton80 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Sadly, I had the same interpretation. Russ "Moneyball" Brandon with another tricky move. Probably insisted on the later first round pick for the same reason. 3rd rounder costs more money to sign than a 4th rounder + 6th rounder does. Duh.

Screw a 6th or 7th Round pick. too be honest I don't mind it that much....... Just look at last year 3 Chris Ellis Virginia Tech 4 Reggie Corner Akron 4 Derek Fine Kansas 6 Xavier Omon Northwest Missouri State 7 Demetrius Bell Northwest State (LA) 7 Steve Johnson Kentucky 7 Kennard Cox Pittsburgh In fact with exception of Crowell, Edwards and Youboty who are still question marks IMO.....we have had no success in Rd 3 in the last decade. Ron Edwards was ok I guess, and Jonas Jennings couldn't stay on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 What a joke. What an absolute joke. First we botch the paperwork on a deal to get something for Dockery, then we forget that 4 is a higher number than 3. Absolutely ridiculous.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I would rather have an extra 3rd rounder to put "in the works". you'd rather trade a 3rd than 2 4ths for Schleffler? What's the dif? other than we keep our 3rd now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I was going to post this, but finally had to go workout after delaying it for an hour to monitor the breaking Peters news, before it got too crowded/late at the gym. Going with the 4th rather than the 3rd tells me that the conditional pick is much higher than a 6th rounder. The difference between a 3rd and 4th rounder at the same position of each round is about 100 points. That's worth an early 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills plan to just hold onto the picks, then I completely agree with you. But before we fly off the handle, what happens if we take that 4th and package it in a trade for someone?
