Thoughts on the trade with KC?

Re: Thoughts on the trade with KC?

I really like the trade a lot. This team needs so much that getting two more picks can be huge. I feel mixed about the pick of White. He sounds like a solid prospect in a position of need but feel that this draft if deep in solid DBs. I was kind of hoping that they would drafted one of the OTs or even Dalvin Cook. For some reason the thought of Shady and Cook would have been really cool to have.

Compensation was fine. The 3rd is nice as that could be a starter. We could come out with 4 starters this year 1, 2 and 2-3's.

We might have got a 4th and 7th instead of a 3rd but Bills are probably thinking starter.

Re: Thoughts on the trade with KC?

We were essentially able to drop down 17 spots and...

* Get a rock solid player that replaces our #1 corner
* Add another player in the 3rd that will contribute this year
* Add an additional 1st rounder next year to move for a franchise QB if needed, or fill in more holes.

This was a no brainer. Word is that they were set to pick Lattimore if they stayed at 10, so getting a player that some ranked just behind him at that position while adding another potential starter this season in the process is huge for as many holes as this team has. You have to make that deal.

And according to the talking heads he's a great punt returner too.

Re: Thoughts on the trade with KC?

I think we could have/should have squeezed one more pick out of them. At least a 4th this year or a 3rd next.

Bills 10th = 1300
KC's 27th = 680
= 620
KC's 3rd = 310

At worst in the Chiefs win the SB they 32nd pick is worth 590 so we won the trade!

As far as White's pick, I think they really thought Peppers would be there but they are REALLY happy with White!

Another need.

Great move by whoever was in charge of it. We are going to trade up next year for USC Sam.

I don't care about point value. Only way you win the trade is if the players you select with those picks work out. If you are drafting someone like John McCargo I wouldn't consider that a win.

If Mahoomes becomes a franchise QB you lost, big time.

Meanwhile we had to watch the Jets walk away with Jamal Adams.

There were only 14-15 players that had 1st round grades in this draft and as far as having to watch the Jets comment, really dumb even if we stayed at 10 we couldn't have stopped that.

Besides it wouldn't matter who they picked you and several others wouldn't have been happy.

Re: Thoughts on the trade with KC?

I loved the trade. Extra picks and a player that won't have top 10 pick pressure on him.

BTW where did our 4th round pick go?

It went to the Bears last year when we moved up to get Ragland.

We spent that to trade up for Reggie Ragland last year.

Unless we get a better franchise QB with KC's 2018 first rounder.

Lol, maybe you could put a point value system on your level of regret or elation you need to experience later

Yea, come on TD.

I'm the first one to **** on these guys when they screw up, but let's give credit where credit is due.

Even if it is the blind squirrel or broken clock scenario.
