There is no denying that, by including their 2005 first-round pick in the package that allowed them to move up and snatch quarterback J.P. Losman in the first round on Saturday, the Buffalo Bills paid a steep price. But the team is counting on second-year tailback Willis McGahee, the former Miami star who didn't play a single snap in '03 while recovering from catastrophic knee surgery, to help make up for the sacrifice.


So how does McGahee, the Bills' 2003 first-rounder, figure into the equation? Here's how: If the former Hurricanes star can regain his previous form, and become a solid back for Buffalo this year, it could allow the Bills to trade current starting tailback Travis Henry after the 2004 season.


No, the Bills almost certainly wouldn't recoup the 2005 first-rounder they traded away on Saturday in any deal for Henry, but they might get a second-round choice for him. And that would offer at least some mitigation for paying a hefty price for Losman's rights.

What if it takes McGahee more then a year to bounce back from the injury and just has a OK season next season while Travis Henry makes the pro bowl?

We'd be back to step one...

If Henry makes the Pro Bowl next year, we will be guaranteed a 1st rounder for him :snicker:

If a 30 year old Corey Dillon is worth a 2nd rounder, a much younger, better performing Travis Henry is worth at least a 1st.

If Peerless Price is wirth a 1, Travis Henry is worth a 1.

Yeah that makes sense. Trading Henry next year will make me feel better about getting Losman for a 1st rd pick.

Having 2 first round picks next season would have made me feel good. Having a real center this season would have made me good.
