Very interested to see Pace's moves in the draft this year, with the Bills and a couple other teams in need wanting to move up, Im at the stage where god only knows who Pace's man in the first round actually is.
Fuller isn't worth using the franchise tag on. He's not an elite player at his position. He's had one great year which just so happened to be a contract year. Gee imagine that. I think somebody like the 49ers or the Raiders will pay him a crap-ton of money and you'll never hear his name again. Either that or we sign him below the franchise tag price.
There are other guys out there (Butler, Gaines, etc.) in FA that if we really have to pay Fuller that kind of money, we'd be better off going after them.
I would hate being forced into a situation with the #8 pick where we have to draft somebody, but if we do there will be options to get a CB either at #8 or trade down.
