The Bills have a lot of players coming back from injury and its like getting 2 draft classes back. We should focus on getting quality starters this year and not look so much for increasing depth. With 10 picks this year, we should try to make a push for impact players that will truly help us get over the proverbial "hump."

Buddy Nix has often stated that he doesn't like to trade picks in the draft especially future picks because they are like gold. But he also has said that we need to be able to throw the ball down the field and stretch the defense vertically (we already do a good job horizontally). I think Nix realizes that for Ryan Fitzpatrick to throw the ball down field he needs more time in the pocket and rely less on the quick strike offense that was developed last year because of our poor line. He may betray his draft philosophy this year for a starting LT that may make multiple pro bowls and will solidify the OL for the next ten years. To do so, will would have to give up a good amount of picks. Since we have 10 picks (1,2,3,4(2),5(2),6,7(2)) we should bundle our 4th, 5th, 7th, swap or 1st and maybe give up a 2nd next year to get our guy. I don't know the exact value of trading picks but i think that would be enough, if he falls past the vikings to the Browns or Tampa the cost would be even less because they are already invested in their LTs and they are trying to create more depth. We can address our WR need with a Ryan Broyles or a TY Hilus in the 2nd or 3rd.
So there you have it, the Bills can fill a need and select the best offensive player in the draft that's not named Robert or Andrew. Tell me what you guys think.
