All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
You can't trade your most important OL position whos proven for a rookie who may or may not pan out. Even if he does ,it's gonna take a couple of years before he comes to his own especially this staff that like to slooooowly plug in players.

I just don't see 4 OT's going before 11... If they do, that would be good for Buffalo in that a top 5 player such as Curry may still be there.
Yes, that would be good for Buffalo..... if we still had Peters. I don't fancy the idea of rollin' with Chambers. Although a deal with the lions may be tempting. Something like #20 in '09 and #1 in '10 (e Yes). After the Lions nabb a QB first overall ('09), I don't know if a "can't miss" LT will be there at 20. They need both bad. And, their sorry arces have been picking top 5 for like a decade (with poor success), maybe they would be willing to part with it for a proven commodity (a pro bowl LT).
Best case for the Bills....
Trade Peters for two first to the Lions, and no, I don't think thats too steep. Well, maybe we give them back a third or something.
Sign Crowell
Sign a center
Draft a previously mentioned LT @ 11.
Draft a DE @ 20.
Draft a TE @ 32.
Have pick of the litter in '10, because the Lions will still suck.
The only OT in this year's draft that even comes close to Jason Peters is probably Andre Smith. I still would be open to trading Jason Peters for the right price. We may lose a little bit of talent at OT but we could upgrade several other positions with the trade value that we got out of him.
Why trade a OT to draft one? At best, if he becomes a Pro Bowler, we didnt improve the team.. That's just addition by subtraction?
how about instead, we keep our best OL, and we draft a stud who plays another position, then you got two good players out of it, instead of one.
The idea behind it (and I strongly disagree with it) is while talent wise we immediately take a hit, we draft a guy who will be younger, cheaper and just as good (we hope) in a year or two. So while we may lose some talent this year next year we are good as before, with a cheap LT and without one cancer named Jason Peters. Plus when we deal Peters we actually gain in net picks and can still go DL and then have another extra pick to fill our holes in depth which we have all over the field.
Now I dont like the idea because I dont think Peters is declining, I dont think the Bills have properly handeled his situation, and for gods sake you don't just trade a top 3 LT in the NFL for a draft pick you hope pans out. The above scenario doesnt make enough logical sense and relies way too much on the assumption that;
1. Peters is a cancer
2. Peters is on the decline
3. One of J. Smith/A. Smith/Monroe/Oher will be able to come in and replace Peters seamlessly in a year or two.
I dont like it at all, and Im the strongest proponent of landing extra draft picks on this board.
COMING SOON...
