    Would you " pull the trigger"?

    Proposed trade with Texans, they acquire pick #10 from Bills and Buffalo gets picks 25, 57, 89, 130, and 142. If their owner is adamant about being a QB away, then 10 gives them probable "pick of the litter"!! Seems a lot to give up, but the trade chart matches to a large degree!! I say go do it, 10 picks in this draft is worth it! My picks as follows using drafttek's rankings: at 25 Bolles, ORT 44 Zay Jones, WR 57 Awuzie, CB 75 Maye, S 89 Kpassagnon, DE 130 Josh Jones, SS 142 Leggett, TE 156 Hendrickson, Edge 171 Chad Kelly QB 195 Myrick, CB. Ten picks for Buffalo, thoughts?

    I would move back 15 spots for 4 extra picks, but don't see Houston being willing to give that much up.

    I did the trade chart math, so yes it works out pretty close. Bills pick worth 1300 and Texans surrender 1271. Close enough!!

    They'd be stupid to say no to that.

    Yes.

    It's rebuilding time.

    Only if Hooker, Adams and Lattimore are all gone by #10.

    Re: Would you " pull the trigger"?

    I cant see anyone in this draft worth giving that much up for.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Re: Would you " pull the trigger"?

    Yeah, I would probably do that. I don't think Houston would.
    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

    Of course Houston wouldn't do it.

    How many times is this now for this franchise?

    BTW - the original trade proposal is stupid. Would never, (ever, ever, ever) happen. So why even waste time posting it?

    Re: Would you " pull the trigger"?

    I would do the trade {10th} for just the 25th and 57th pick.

    I don't see much difference in player from 10 to 25, unless Adams or Allen would fall.

    I'd take the deal, but I'd prefer a different deal that includes the Texans 1st round pick next year.

    Yes, I dont like the way #10 looks to be shaking out right now vs the value you could unearth with more picks

    Is it really rebuilding time? Doesn't rebuilding imply your tearing something down and building it right. Sure they have a new coach, but, he's taking over a 7-9 team and management is taking every step it can to make sure it's 7-9 next year. They are throwing some Spackle over the hole in the wall and bracing up the fence with a 2x4. That's the Bills idea of rebuilding for the last decade.
