Why do so many people assume the Bills will be trading up?
This looks like it could be a deep draft (for QB and in general from what I've read).
We may have a high pick of our own and be able to draft a QB without moving up. You don't need to be top 3 to get your QB anyway.
The Bills have a LOT of holes to fill in besides just QB. I assume that they plan to use most of those picks on players, not a trade up for a QB who won't be a guarantee anyway.
We should get a starting caliber player with KC's pick. If we get another Tre Shite caliber player I will be happy.
If we end up with Tre White, Zay Jones (I believed we used KC's 3rd to trade up for him?) and another starter from the 2018 pick I'll be happy with that trade down.
Plus, if you look back at trades for QBs into the top 5-10 of the draft, it has almost never worked out for the team trading up. Mike Vick is the only one I can think of. It's still TBD on all the trade up's the last couple years, wmaybe one of them will work out better. But as of now the list looks terrible for the team trading up. So the Bills made a calculated move to help fill their depth.
