[Beane & Co. too Conservative in their Trade Offers? (Opinion)]

If the Browns take a QB at #1 they can parlay #4 for more picks.

 

I would think the Giants take a QB or Barkley  at #2 .

 

I would think the Bills make a deal with the Browns if the QB they want is still there after the first 3 picks are made. 

 

Last resort take a QB at #12 or 2nd rd  and build around McCarron . Making the playoffs has draft consequences. 

 

4 is going to be the only spot open for  a trade. 

 

I see the board going like this

 

1. Darnold

2. Rosen

3. Allen

4. Mayfield

 

Someone will trade up for mayfield.

You don't know that though.  No one does.

 

as I have said continually, this comes down to Beane's thoughts about these QBs.  If he feels one of them is the answer he can go get him.  The Jets deal brings more clarity to where he needs to get to andbitbis oikelybhe needed to get to 1 or 2 anyway

 

You're right.  There look to be 4 franchise qb prospects.    There is going to be so much competition at 4 that it makes no sense to make that huge of a jump from 4-12

Darnold or Rosen or don't do QB, it's that simple...  I don't want to hear about the other dudes.

 

I am not opposed to Allen or Mayfield at this point, but after that big drop off.

They panicked.  The Bills didn't.  As you say there is no such thing as overpayment.  If true (and Inwould argue your point) the Bills can overpay to get ahead of them.

 

All the Jets did is guarantee they potentially get the 3rd QB on their board 

 

 

There look to be 4 franchise qb's this draft.  Good for the Jets to guarantee themselves 1 of them.  That makes 2 franchise qb's in the division now.

Those draft value charts are dated and don't come into play when 2 things come into consideration. 1 being qb's 2 being a bidding war.  Look at the RG3 trade, huge bidding war.

The qb's are going in the first four picks, it's just a matter of who gets to 4 between buffalo, denver and cardinals.

Interesting read , and pretty spot on. Jets were desperate and overpaid , but they had the pick at 6 and that bested anything Buffalo could do. Oh, Beane could have offered the entire draft or something . But realistically the Bills were the Colts bargaining chip , and once the Jets had satisfactorily upped their overpayment the Colts we're set. The Bills had no chance in this one. Interestingly , Mehta mentions that the Jets talked with the Browns. No mention of the Giants at 2, so there may be something to the theory that the Giants don't trade with the Jets. 

 

There is no such thing as over payment.  That is a thing teams say when they are sitting on the sidelines watching other teams wheel and deal.  This is a qb league , and the jets and bills have not had a legitimate on in a long time.  They made the move we did not.
