I’m not buying it.

I thought the reason it wasn’t mentioned as a possibility is they didn’t have that pick available. I really think if the team is that desperate for one of those two players, a package including their first two picks plus some other form of compensation would be worth it to some team, whether the Bills or otherwise.

Personally I think if the Bills aren’t planning to take a QB at #3 and those two players are still on the board the Bills should investigate that trade. I wouldn’t make it for specifically the compensation listed above but maybe replace the 4th and Okoye with next year’s 2nd or something along those lines.

The only real reason I think this would be worth it is if the Bills aren’t taking a QB at #3, there’s a good chance they’ll have to trade into the back of the first round to get their QB then, so the more ammo they have for that trade the better. There are enough positions that the Bills need help at that there will still be someone valuable to them at #11.

For Cincy’s 4th. One of the two, Miller or Petterson will likely be there.

To move up 11 spots to #2, it would take AT LEAST their 2nd round pick this year AND next year’s 1st. There is no way the Broncos are going to give up the highest pick they have ever had for an underacheiving DT, a mid first, a 3rd and a 4th it is just not going to happen.

There are also rumors out there that the Redskins might be trying to get up to #2 for Gabbert. If that is the case we might see things really heat up trade wise at the top of the draft. The teams picking 3-9 might start thinking about moving up if they think they are going to get leapfrogged by teams behing them for the guy they want.

Ever since the Browns traded the 5th pick to the Jets (M. Sanchez) it has been shown that the chart is overvalued. Especially in the first round. I do think as you get lower in the draft that it does become more reliable. However until there is a ceiling on what you pay your draft picks the chart is worthless. If I took the time I’m sure I could find other examples however like you, I am too lazy to take the time to find two sources to confirm what I am writing.

McClain is an idiot and I have never seen his speculations pan out. I think the Texans need a solid DE and try to get a top notch corner in FA.

Those teams however are not stupid as the Texans would be if they did that!!!

In the end, the Texans will do the conservative thing and the fans will be let down as usual. Here’s hoping Aldon Smith is a beast…

Amobi Okoye? Come on, man. Any package that doesn’t include next year’s first round pick would get laughed at. This isn’t Madden– you can’t just throw together a bunch of lower picks and a mediocre-at-best veteran and move to the top of the draft. Get real, dude.

Instead they’re trying to outmaneuver one another to pay him millions based on what he did in college?

Yeah, we need to save these guys from themselves. I can only imagine that they have a gun to their heads. Because they’re broke and all, right?

Suckers.
