    Will BUF trade down?

    I think that unless they have their peepers - firmly - on OT Matthews as their man, if available - they will move.

    Personally, I'd garner more picks and pass on Matthews. I like him a lot at #9, but I think a perennial 6 -10 club is best served by numbers.

    If they can I think they would. Have to get a offer worth moving.

      true. On the other hand the best teams send a bunch of star players to the pro bowl. We could use some of those too. You need a plan to win the draft. You don't trade down just to grab picks, you trade down because the guy you want isn't a good value where you are. Buffalo's problem isn't a shortage of picks it's knowing what to do with those picks.

        Normally you'd be right. A 5-11, 6-10 team usually has a lot of holes to fill or upgrades to be had. The Buffalo Bills are weird in that they don't have too many holes to fill.

        Maybe an OT, an OG. Maybe an ILB. Otherwise they are pretty set. IF they had a decent QB they'd quickly be a 12-4 team with otherwise the same roster. FACT.

          Absolutely agree if that QB is named Aaron Rodgers.

            If they are left with QBs and the two best defensive players, two best receivers, and two best tackles are gone, I think they will try.

              I agree, but I think a Safety is a greater need than ILB.

                A partner and the board will dictate a trade down.

                “It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”

                "It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you"


                Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist poll showing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.

                  Depends on who is there after the first eight are taken.

                    What about St. Louis @ 13?

                    Suppose Matthews is still on board, we trade down to #13 for an extra 2nd rounder, and pick up Lewan or Ebron?

                      Unlike last year St. Louis has a top 10 pick in the draft and doesn't have an extra pick to give in Round 2. I don't see any realistic trades out there unless we move way down to either pick #25 with Cleveland or #30 San Francisco as both have extra picks in Round 3 that they could move. Yet not sure the Browns would want two top 10 picks but they do have enough cap space so it wouldn't kill them. Yet the 49ers might be worth looking into as I wonder if they'd be looking to get someone like Anthony Barr with it looking like Aldon Smith on the brink of messing up his career.
