I'm not foolish to think it will happen either, but the better play (assuming the Bills miss out on their QB and we get Fournette at 8 and somehow the Bengals pass on Barnett) would be to trade 40, 64, and next year's 1st to the Bills at 10 and get Barnett ahead of the Saints.  Boom.  The Saints miss out on an elite pass rusher and we get Fournette and Barnett with 5 picks to still play with.  We're not getting a Barnett in the late 1st next year, the value chart lines up, and we have a good relationship with the Bills, who are going nowhere this year.  One can dream I guess.

This would be equally ridiculous. Seriously, trading away your 1st next year for anything thats not a great QB prospect is asanine.

A young stud DE is the single biggest need on this team, by far, and GMan per usual went on and on about it's importance yet again at the pre-draft PC.  The importance both now and in the future btw.  Barnett could be a pesky gnat with the Saints, and, assuming we are the team we should be this year, the value not only lines up, but Fournette and Barnett could help put us over the top this year.

Barnett will go the Bengals before he goes to the Saints anyway.

He also said there isnt a big drop between those top guys and mid round guys, just shows the talent in this class.

We already have a suprisingly deep DE group its just theyre old.

Pep and CJ will still make a impact. Addison was one of the higher ranked DE FA this offseason after putting back to back good years with us. Gettleman has said how quietly good Horton has been especially in the run game.

He noted out Kpassagon (one of the guys we brought in) in the same conversation as OJ Howard, and he's projected a 3rd rounder

Getting a offensive weapon like Fournette or Howard and get one of those Kpassagon's or Daeshon Halls with High upside to sit back and groom under these vets this year.

Barnett isn't close to worth 40, 64 and next year's 1st. Take him at 8 if you think he's that good instead of Fournette and draft a RB later.

I like most everyone in the free world would also love to see Fournette in black and blue, and though I personally view Barnett and Fournette as equal for many reasons, I doubt at this point we'd actually do it.

I obviously doubt it happens, but if we're picking where we should be in 2018, the value is actually better for us than the Bills since draft trade value actually lessens by a year (i.e. a 2nd this year=a 1st next year).

Kpassagon has some questions though as a player, and most importantly, does he love football?

Have only really seen that arise around here on the board.
Only question ive seen is how he will develop. Hasnt been playing football long at all which could be where the rumor is steeming about his heart for the game.
Have seen scouts say he has a excelent motor

Edge rushers are the QBs of the defense and Garrett looks to be a generational talent.

The more a fan understands a critical need for his team, the more a talent that fills that need becomes "generational".

This is a deep and talented draft, but there ain't a "generational" player among'em.
