From the Raiders for the #23? I hear rumors that the Raiders want to trade up. Would that be beneficial to us - #31 and #32 for our #23?

i think we would have to give up our 2nd rounder at a minimum to get those 2 picks of the raiders.. if mcdougal and haynes are off the board.. i would consider it.. to get mathis and clark or faine.

That's why I'm asking. They may want to trade higher than 23 too.

Absolutely-


You still could get a top notch TE (Clark or Whitten), a DE (Louisville's DeWayne White comes to mind, or Possibly Peterson)
and a decent linebacker or WR between picks 31,32, and 48.

Oakland won't do it though. They need starting bodies to replace all the salcap cuts, and it's a steep price to pay for moving up only 8 spots.

A more realistic trade would be the Bills swapping the #23 and #48 for the Raider's #31 and #32.

Or, the Bills giving up the #23rd pick for Charles Woodson. ( I don't think that will happen either)

The little I have read, the Raiders are concerned with paying 2 first round choices. Who knows what kind of magic TD will work!

I keep bringing up that we should talk to them about their 2 picks but I never get any credit.

You're talking to the wrong people, Bert. Get on the phone and call TD at One Bills Drive.

Have you noticed teams with 2 1st. round picks are scrambling to get rid of them with little success? There is a reason, while there are a few stand out players, there is a lot more value in the 2nd and 3rd rounds because of the 1) drop off in talent and 2) the parity in that 2nd tier group. I would be much happier with the Bills getting another 2nd or 3rd pick or a pick in next years draft.
