Fans and national media members alike have hinted and screamed one word in regards to the 2017 Buffalo Bills recently: Tank. The opinion that the Bills are tanking in order to get a top-tier draft pick in 2018 is a valid opinion, one that has merit on the surface. However, I don’t think this is a standard tank job.
Most of the conversation around the potential tank started when the Bills traded Sammy Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams in return for cornerback EJ Gaines. Watkins is viewed as one of the top young receivers in the league today.
