that is a win for Buffalo


The only "downside" is Darby was locked up through 2018. Watkins and Matthews will both be UFAs after this season, as will Gaines.

Bills won those trades. Having 6 picks in the top 3 rounds next year will be fantastic. Especially if you think Philly and Rams will suck


I really wish we'd see more trades in the NFL.

Paxton Lynch looked lost against Chicago's second team.


I'm prepared to label him a bust. I was actually kind of disappointed that there wasn't something to the McCarron rumors. The lack of DL and MLB talent is also glaring. It's time to question Elway's drafting acumen.

He did, but Buffalo declined it in May 2017. I assume the Rams don't get to redo that decision.

Ahh I didn't know they declined it. Suprised there weren't more rumors of trades between then and now

Also the Rams signed Robert Woods last offseason so they apparently are really striving to have the Bills offense

Yeah Watkins was basically gone either way at the end of the season.

Pretty good deal to get what is likely to be a top 40 or so pick for a WR you're unlikely to keep around, as well as a starting caliber CB.

watkins does very little for Rams, they have no OL and no QB.

EJ Gaines had a really good rookie season, then suffered a injury. So???

With Rams givingg their 2nd rounder, it means they have no picks in 1st 2 rounds. Also they are trying to get anything for their midget slot wr. What a terrible pick he was, in top15. Another mediocre West Virginia WR.

the Rams are now the #3 team in the NFL when it comes to devoting money to the WR position

I'm suprised the Packers are so high. I guess Jordy and Cobb really add up

As a Bills fan I'm pretty happy about this, although all I'm reading is whining on the Bills Facebook page right now.

I love that our first time head coach and first time GM aren't afraid to makes the moves to get rid of the smell that Rex left and build the team to their own identity. We now have 2 picks in each of the first three rounds next year. They will have some fun building their team.

great week for the Patriots...

Buffalo and NYJ are actively tanking, Dolphins sign Jay Cutty....How soon do they have this division locked up?

I probably would have too, Watkins problem isn't talent it's that he can't stay healthy

A lot of people would have fricked that up I don't blame you, it's just insanely bad now in hindsight.
