Quote:Your definitely not the only one who thinks this is a terrible move.    As a Lions fan,  I'm thankfully it was the Bills that made this trade with pick # 9,  not the Lions with pick # 10.  

 

While I think Sammy Watkins is a low character risk because of the strong family support he receives,   the truth of the matter is he doesn't have the physical ability to be another Calvin Johnson.   The size element speaks for itself.   Watkins should develop into a high caliber WR that goes to multiple Pro Bowls.   But not to the point that you can risk giving up pick # 9,  AND future 1st and 4th Round picks for him.   When you trade future 1st Round picks,  you are playing with football fire. 

 

What amazes me is that 2 picks before Watkins trade,   the St. Louis Rams were on the clock with Pick # 2 as a result of the Redskins paying a future king ransom for the rights to RGIII.    How could the Bills not see the damage that was caused to the Redskins by them losing pick # 2 in a future draft!
