Beane has to redo A LOT of contracts first and decide who to let walk. Then comes Vet FA and who is out there that can help.
Lots to do over the next 10 weeks, prior to the draft. Too far off.
Re: Draft 2023 Buffalo Bills
I'd be OK trading down into the early 2nd round if it meant we add another 3rd+, but I do think this is a draft where we need to hit on at least one stud at a premium position on OL or WR. That might be possible if we've addressed WR in FA and are looking for OL studs in the draft. There will probably be some good OL adds in the 2nd round.
Re: Draft 2023 Buffalo Bills
Well I think with only 6 picks it's unlikely we trade up. Which is comforting to me because Beane gets ants in his pants on draft day when he has a player targeted and he stats worrying that the player won't be there. There are benefits to drafting a player in the 1st round. if he's a star you have an extra year of control. So my guess is if there is a player we like at 27 we will pick him right there. More likely to see some movement after day 1.

You are the GM today get to work.
Okay who's contract do you redo?
Who do you part company with IYO?
Re: Draft 2023 Buffalo Bills
If I could ..... I'd package a certain coach and a specific player and trade them to Philadelphia for their 3rd and 4th round draft picks ..... but I can't so .... trade down for extra picks if possible ..... with the goal of building the OL 1st.

Re: Draft 2023 Buffalo Bills
These "Trade up trade down stand pat.” questions are irreverent and not very realistic in respect that the Bills use their own player evaluation system, bolstered by their organization that works year round on both prospective draft candidates and other NFL players for FA, or even trade candidates and then, in an extremely protective and closely held way, grade them.
There is no decision to "Trade up trade down stand pat.” at this point, or, I suspect, until the draft actually starts. And is based on how they have graded the full draft board, what the priorities are and how each pick is made form other clubs.
If they have a player they are targeting and it means they may have to move up to get him (based on their research and expectation of what other team may do) they move up....like they did last year to get Elam.
If they have a player they are targeting and they think the likelihood that they could move back and get him because they expect that no one else is targeting him, they do that....like they did for James Cook, trading back twice before they selected him.
To answer the rather silly question....."Trade up trade down stand pat.”....it depends.

Understood its fluid.
What position would you attempt to strengthen 1st?
OL, DL, RB or other?
I know everybody wants more weapons I get it.
Personally it's all about the trenches for me.

It depends on what players are predicted to be available and how the Bills have them graded. Plus, it depend on how FA unfolds.
So, the same answer....it depends.

Re: Draft 2023 Buffalo Bills
Considering how some of the players have turned out over the last three to four seasons I'd rather go with the grading some amateur mock drafters have over whatever the Bills' board looks like.

Different can be better.

A agree with this. I think who they draft and when depends on what happens in FA. Who we sign and who we loose all goes into the draft. We have a lot of needs and getting more picks would be a good thing.

Beane has always signed enough free agents to give him flexibility in the draft, we'll see if he can do it again this year.
