You Can Make Up The 1st Rounder Next Spring In UFA

[Night Train]

I like the bold move to get Watkins. Best O skill player, by far. Evans, Beckham and Ebron were not in his league. He was a star as a Freshman and the Bills got their man. They didn't settle for so called " value ". Not all players are the same. He was the only receiver I could see but I didn't think they would do this.

In a different era, the Bills paid more for a LB ( Bennett ) and it worked out. I'm seeing lots of bubble screens to pull up the safety. I'd have Goodwin lined up on the other side to take the top off the D. Woods running his crisp patterns.


This sure looks exciting as hell. Whaley is swinging for the fences and I for one like it. Continue the good news tonight and Saturday.

Absolutely can replace what you deem you lost. If EJ is the answer I'm fine with this move. OL can be had later in the draft and we will come out of this draft with either a starting OT or OG IMO.

I love it too. As I said in another thread, I was against moving up for Watkins because I thought they'd have to give up most of this year's picks. That wasn't the case, and I'm pretty happy to be honest. The offense now has 5 legitimate WRs.

I did hear the TV talking heads state SJ might be on his way out and it's probably being considered. High cap fig and 4 new WR's ( Woods, Goodwin, Williams & Watkins ) have been aquired in the last 12 months.

Wouldn't surprise me if SJ is being offered for a pick.

Exactly. You can supplement the #1 loss in free agency, or even with some bizarre trade.

Hopefully they make up the lack of two starting offensive linemen before this season begins, first.

well, now that revis is back in the division, i'm against trading s. johnson. he does usually play pretty well against revis

As I said in the other thread I think we still get one starter from this draft and then you still have later UFA signings or signings from cuts, the Hairston angle (I know we both really liked him as a starter), and the possibility that Whaley was right about Chris Williams.

If I had it my way I'd like to see us land A Richardson/Moses/Kouandjio and Jackson/Martin/Yankey

And the icing to me would be landing Seastrunk, Max Bullough, and Taj Boyd along with ASJ.

Re: You Can Make Up The 1st Rounder Next Spring In UFA

Like I said before, I like Watkins, but against moving 1st picks because you never know what happens next year, particularly for less established teams. Who thought Houston would finish last in 2013? Who thought Atlanta, with Matt Ryan and Julio Jones to start the year, would go 4-12? Who thought with Peyton Manning on the team, Indy would EVER go nearly winless before they draft Luck?

This game is unpredictable, particularly with the nature of injuries. IF the Bills wound up dead last (e.g. EJ hurt or bombed, Mario hurt, rash of injuries returned to guys like Kyle, Gilmore etc. Marcell suspended) in the coming season, and there were a Luck type of QB coming out, you bet people are calling for Whaley's head because no FA are going to take care of that scenario.

Granted, you never plan for that scenario to happen, still it is a 1/32 chance and the percentage for the Bills is a lot higher. Your 1st round pick is your disaster insurance. The Bills, for 2015, has no insurance right now.

Could we get a 3rd for Stevie or is that too rich for anyone's blood? Watkins, Woods, Williams and Goodwin is all we really need.

I really want Stevie to stay where they want him... in the slot. Watkins and Williams/Woods on the outside.

Woods can come in on 4 WR sets and Mike Williams may be a short term rental only due to the contract.

I'd like to keep Stevie and have outstanding depth; injuries always happen.

But cut Graham. Hell, do it right now. J/K. Why not take him through camp.

and we'll be lucky to get a 5th Rounder for Stevie.

Re: You Can Make Up The 1st Rounder Next Spring In UFA

Trade Stevie for whatever you can get for him. His 2014 production is sure to go down further lowering the bargaining power the Bills have. Plus, I'm tired of his childish antics that costs field position/games.

Re: You Can Make Up The 1st Rounder Next Spring In UFA

why in the world do ppl want to get rid of stevie? unless they start bumping up against serious cap problems theres no reason to push him out the door and a ton of good reasons to keep him

biggest is youve got a rock solid 1-2-3 and can use those three in any order. watkins is obviously your long term wr1 bc he has both the draft position and best potential skills to be that kind of guy. woods and stevie are both terrific 1b type players who can run every route. in 3wr sets youre already winning the db matchups

goodwin is more of a specialty receiver, most likely always will be, but still should be able to exploit lower level dbs. bearded black williams will be a big fat question mark until he shows he isnt and thats gonna take far into the season to figure out. tj graham appears to be the ugly step-child but if hes going to finally emerge as a playmaker his third season is his best shot to put it all together

if they can get a decent pick for stevie, say for a fourth with escalators, then consider it. but as it is theyve got the deepest set of five wrs and probably the best top three in the league. they should be able to put pressure on pass defenses all season. why mess with that when you dont have to
