Some people think I'm bashing the Bills for this trade; that's not entirely true.. I just posted this somewhere else and I think it bears repeating.
you can't just look at stats..
Was he close as good as 2007? Definitely not. But once he settled in, he was a very good LT overall.
Having said that, I want to be clear that I'm not hating on the Bills for trading him. I don't think short of being the higest paid OT ever he didnt want to be here, and he was going to pull the same **** as last year.
I just feel the Bills could've gotten more, and at the very least stayed patient and worked that 21st overall instead of the 28th.
That's seven good players going off the board before we get to that pick. That's a lot.
I have no real problem with a fourth instead of a third, as we're getting a sixth next year so that pretty much evens it out.
Plus, we dont know what is going to happen. maybe we trade for Waters before the draft, pick Oher at #11 and then who knows, maybe our OL is actually improved over last year.
I"ll reserve judgement on the football side of the trade itself until after draft day.. All I know, is that the only real winner right now is Ralph Wilson. .He just saved himself MILLIONS with this trade.
