What would you think of this trade

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

I am in another mock draft and the Bills trade their #1 pick (13) to Detroit for Kalimba Edwards, their 2nd and 4th round picks.

Who was already off the board at #13?

[Canadian'eh!]

you must be crazy.

Well, my question was going to be who the hell is Kalimba Edwards but I guess that answers MY question.

To answer YOUR question now, no very much. :)

No offense.

Woah, take it easy there folks, I wouldn't have made that trade. I am the Patriots in this one.

Here is what the draft was up until 13:
1 1 San Diego - Wide Right xvv - Eli Manning, QB, Ole Miss
2 2 Oakland - msuforever - Robert Gallery, OT, Iowa
3 3 Arizona - Carlbunga2001 - Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Miami(OH)
4 4 N.Y. Giants - msuforever - Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Pittsburgh
5 5 Washington - Gooksta - Sean Taylor, S, Miami(FL)
6 6 Detroit - MSUFanatic - Kellen Winslow Jr, TE, Miami(FL)
7 7 Cleveland - Phillyboy16 - Tommie Harris, DT, Oklahoma
8 8 Atlanta - Vawyn - Vince Wilfork, DT, Miami(FL)
9 9 Jacksonville - Edge32 - Roy Williams, WR, Texas
10 10 Houston - The Lone Star - Kenechi Udeze, DE, USC
11 11 Pittsburgh - UCLA KILL3R - DeAngelo Hall, CB, Virginia Tech
12 12 N.Y. Jets - Wide Right xvv - Dunta Robinson, CB, South Carolina


Here is the reason he gave:

"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

had i still been sitting at that spot with the bills, i would have picked will smith
or maybe rivers... probably not rivers, cause i like to look for the short term, rivers will not help us win now

a healthy kalimba edwards from detroit will really help the pass rush; opposite of schobel on passing downs, the defense could be real real good
the reason i traded, is i dont want to spend another top pick on a de... the bills have spent the last 2 2nd round pics on DE's
even if edwards isnt a full time replacement, his pass rushing potential is second to none
and at 13th, none of the wr's are worth it here "to me" because of the talent i can get later in the draft - that and included in the detroit/buffalo deals was az hakim; the burner we need anyhow, and he comes with nfl experience
that and considering the bills need depth more than they need a superstar, in my opinion"

[The_Philster]

No way in hell would I have taken that trade based on the fact Rivers was still on the board.

[Dozerdog]

People who want t look at the draft to "'Win now" just shouldn't be allowed to draft...period.

Go play Madden instead

[The Spaz]

Kalimba Edwards sucks ass!:down:

[RedEyE]

Yeah, that guy is insane. Passing on Rivers is one thing, but to then trade away the pick for a nobody DE out of Detroit, with a prime DE such as Will Smith still on the board, is just plain dumb.

Besides, he really didn't get a return from the Detroit GM.

A 2nd, a 4th and Kalima Edwards hardly seems like compensation. No GM in their right mind would have made that trade.

[HenryRules]

reading the explanation ... wasn't the trade: hakim, edwards, a 2nd and 4th?

Still not good enough, but a better deal than the one without Hakim - he'd probably be our 4th WR, but might help on PRs.
