The Bills need to address their offensive line in a major way.
Heading in to the 2015 NFL season without a major addition to the o-line is the 1 thing this off season has not produced. If the Bills can draft a starting tackle, Glenn can move to guard (or right tackle) and the offensive line will look a hell of a lot better than it does today.
Doug Whaley said he's not going to trade away picks to move up this year like he did in 2014. Do you believe him?
I don't believe him. Whaley traded away this year's 1st rounder (the 19th pick) because he knew the Bills would be a good team in 2014, and he was right. They didn't make the playoffs, but they were a good enough team to make his point - the Bills gave up the 19th pick this year (and a 4th rounder) to draft Sammy Watkins.
Are the Bills kicking themselves in the ass over losing this year's 19th overall pick?
The Browns got left holding the bag. I bet the Browns wish they drafted Sammy Watkins instead of trading with the Bills.
Would you rather have Eric Ebron and his 1 TD, 25 reception rookie performance? That's who the Bills would have probably taken last year if Cleveland didn't bark.
Shouldn't the same logic apply for this year?
The Bills expect to be a better team than last year. If so, they'll be picking somewhere between 20 and 32 late in the first round of 2016.
Why hold on to what will likely be a late first round pick in 2016 when you can use it to get a great player that 99% of the time is only available in the early 1st round?
Trading up to get back in to the 1st round makes sense. This year's draft is not very good in overall talent. Some draft's are deep in talent, this one is not. Why not make a deal to a team looking to stockpile draft picks for a rebuild in 2016?
If the Bills can land a starting rookie tackle by trading up to the 1st round on Thursday night, they're going to the playoffs in 2015 no matter who starts at QB.
If the 2015 Buffalo Bills can protect their quarterback, they won't need to draft one in 2016.
