Is Kalil that much better than Reiff or Martin?

He has said he wouldn’t mind getting a couple of extra picks so if anything, he may move down but I’ll be surprised if they don’t just stay at 10 and make their pick there.

Give “The Dom” a call. Bucs would like some more picks please. Thanks.

Peters did not walk away as a free agent. In 2008, he held out of OTA’s, training camp, and the entire pre-season because he wanted the Bills to tear up his contract and pay him like Walter Jones. By the time he showed up for the season, he was out of shape and was pathetic on the field. He forced their hand into a trade, so spare me on how the Bills give talent away. They did get a first round pick for him. Regardless that the pick was a bust, they got fair value for him.

As far as Bell goes, it wasn’t a surprise to Bills fans that he was one of the last of the top 100 free agents to get signed this off-season. He visited several teams before Philly and was not offered a contract because he wanted starter money for a guy that was never healthy as a starter. Look at his contract with Philly. Only the first year of his 5-year contract carries any guaranteed money. He’s got an $8+ mil roster bonus set for his inclusion on next year’s team, so get it straight, Bell will not be an Eagle next year.

Now that you’ve finally got some facts, drop the stupid LT farm team talk. And for those Bills fans that keep imploring Nix to not pick another LT like he did before, get this straight: he was NOT the GM in Buffalo when any of those moves were made. He was named GM before the 2010 season. Geesh!

Sustainable, no, but who cares.

If the Bills are so interested in drafting Barron at 10, why would they give up the pick for someone else to draft him?

In this case, a team would trade into the 8th or 9th spot to draft Barron ahead of the Bills.

LT is a huge need where S isn’t, as good as Barron might be.

I wouldn’t be shocked if he turns out better than Kalill.

Will they just let this one leave in 4 years when he becomes good?

I don’t have a problem with Bell leaving because his own sense of worth was overinflated and he’s always injured, but it just seems odd to trade extra picks for a position that they had set twice previously and just disregarded. Go in a different direction.

As mentioned elsewhere, that is the last pick that has the 5th-year option that is like the transition price (unlike pick 11). Safety, however, is a position, where that transition price will likely still be more reasonable 5 years from now, making it a more palatable position at that draft spot than, say, a quarterback.

We want Tannehill. We are going to trade up for Kalil. We are going to trade down for a different tackle.

I love it.
