      Be happy with what we got, Could be worse, One of you guys could be the QB, That's how slim the market is.

      You really think teams will trade a valued QB?? Who has a QB that they can get rid of because their guy is that good??

        But there is no question Cassel is BETTER than McCown. Well worth a 5th rnd pick.
        They just moved back 1 round. Still have 6 picks total on draft day. Gave up a 7th next year. Minor stuff.

            Everybody should.

            If the offense can be average and Rex can get the D to play near last year's level, we're a playoff team and a road win in Boston away from winning the division.

              the goal here is to have the run game we had in 2013 with the pass game we had in 2014, it's not that ambitious, but it's realistic and combined with a killer d and special teams it is a blue print for a dominant team (SF, old ravens, Seattle) if it works.

                I would've preferred Locker and keeping picks.
                I would've preferred keeping the TB fifth (basically a late 4th).
                I wanted to draft Buck Allen.

                  Minus three starters is the defense the same?

                    Ortons replacement and a solid backup for late round picks likely to be training camp cuts or buried on the depth chart is great value in my opinion.

                        Re: Bills trade for Matt Cassel

                        This might be the first smart move we have seen to upgrade the QB position and not 'fix' it in years. Cassel can play in the right situation. So we gave up a draft position for some movement at the QB position. Maybe we can get another FA QB maybe we can't that remains to be seen ... but we could get Cassel today and the pulled the trigger. Even if they end up cutting him it was worth the trade to improve the position. In our best case scenario we are cutting him and people are *****ing about the waste when TODAY this is a solid move to improve the team. We could end up cutting EJ too if he doesn't show in camp he's useless at this point and needs a new situation. I would love to get another guy and have all three lighting it up in camp and have that kind of problem. This is a 'let's build some security' move.

                          Could have signed McCown or Hoyer and got the same exact player without losing a draft pick.
                          We swapped our 5th for their 6th and give them a 7th in 2016. Who cares. Plus any FA will likely be more expensive than Cassel.

                              He's better than McNown without question.

                              He's a little more polished than Hoyer.

                              McCoy, Incognito, Cassel. The Bills are far from great. But the offense is a lot more solid in a couple of positions of need.

                              Swiper is happy.

                                None of these names excites anyone anyway. I'd much happier with Cassel than Josh McCown.
