    Buffalo could have had a 1st and 3rd....

    I was looking around at the different articles and this little blurb just bugged the hell out of me.

    Initially, one source close to the Eagles said, Buffalo considered making the trade for a first- and third-rounder this year but, in the end, held out for three draft picks to give the Bills more flexibility.

    That doesn't make any sense. A fourth and a sixth is better than a third?

        Cher there is no telling if the blurb had any credibility what so ever.

            I think that bag of magic beans put the 4th and 6th over the top.
            Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

              well with the number of holes they created this year and the inability to guarantee any pick will be good, the bills have to go with quantity over quality. They don't have faith in themselves to pick a good player, so they'd rather have more shots to get it right. Can't blame them for that logic.

                In our mind it is...maybe it's because a 4th is cheaper to pay than a 3rd....

                  No it doesn't make sense at all. But if you go back thru our drafts....we suck in the 3rd round and actually do well in the 4th round. Maybe that has something to do with it....

                    Ha, ha...that's funny. No, what I'm thinking is that that may have a need for that extra 4th...maybe trading for a certain TE in Denver?

                      Hmmmm....the way it's worded (give the Bills more flexibility) makes a lot of sense if we are looking to trade for a TE or G.... Hmmm.....

                          Exactly my thoughts when I read it. We will see...got to admit this has been an exciting offseason.

                            The only way it makes sense is if the the trade were for #28 this year and a 3rd in 2010... If that's the case, Buffalo did well to get this years 4th and a late rounder in 2010.
