JinWPB Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Dead wood is a flyin , go Brandon. Doesn't make some recent drafts look all that good, but if this is what it takes to build a winner.... Ko just never lived up to the hype of his rookie year and has been outplayed on the field. If he goes I could see a safety early in 4th. Wonder what Whitner will bring????

Either the Bills think this is a pretty deep draft, and are trying to stockpile picks, or are slashing costs. Man I hope it has nothing to do with money.

Honestly, this just doesn't make sense. He's still on his rookie contract (isn't he??) and will bring in almost nothing in a trade. Why bother? There's no reason to get rid of a guy that can at very least be a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko just never lived up to the hype of his rookie year and has been outplayed on the field. If he goes I could see a safety early in 4th. Wonder what Whitner will bring???? Two guys I know they like: William Moore and Chip Vaughn. However, I am surprised by this move at this time. Moore will be gone by our RD3 pick, and Vaughn would still be there around Philly's pick in that round. We may not be done with the Eagles.

robkmil Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Jim (I'm slower than Ko) Leonhard is not an answer... He sure was for baltimore last year and got offered a lot form the jets, and he made some plays when given the opportunity for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 This is getting stupid and ugly. You can't fix everything in the draft. The Bills will be lucky to get one or two players that become decent starters (eventually). Why are they creating so many holes that cannot possibly be filled before the season starts? This team is not rebuilding, it is cratering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 He sure was for baltimore last year and got offered a lot form the jets, and he made some plays when given the opportunity for us. What plays were those? Two tipped ball INTs and a few nice punt returns? He won't be lining up next to Ed Reed this year, so we'll see how 'Lil Oppie really stacks up once and for all.

ans4e64 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Getting the dead weight off this team is a must. If we can stockpile picks in the last rounds of the draft, we may be able to trade up (example: two 5ths for a 4th) and acquire quality. The reason would be because we have so many holes to fill. We likely need starters at at least TE, OG, OT, OLB and DE. That is 5 positions. We have two 1's, a 2, 3, and two 4th's. That means one of those starters/heavy contributors is going to have to be a 4th round player, like it or not. And that's if we don't slip another position in there such as DT or SS. One of those positions isn't going to be addressed until the 4th round, and that is scary. Getting as many picks in the 4th-5th round area is essential for trading purposes. Also, if we are looking to move up from 28 to grab Pettigrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 May be the FO's just bluffing will all these "trade blocks." If they're not that serious about trading them, then why not float the rumors? Two things are going to happen: they'll get a team to bite and take more than what they believe a player is worth, or they sit on their hand and see if a fire appears under the asses of some of their players.

I think it would, because I feel we are going to cut him after camp anyway. We've got Whitner, Scott, Wilson, Wendling, Simpson, and are actively pursuing a safety in the draft. That means at least one has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 If they can get a pick for Ko, good for them. He is a backup at best. John Wendling can take his spot. Plus, he is an idiot. "I'm Ko Simpson, I'm worth Millions." Not exactly, kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
