theman331 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 if we give the eagles our number 9 pick and a 4th rounder for their number 24 pick and mcnabb i think that would be the best way to go about getting him. we would still be able to get a great offensive tackle in the first rd and then we could go either qb in the 2nd or 3rd or linebacker in the 2nd or 3rd. i'm more for drafting a quarterback and having him start day one. but if we decide not to go that way then were going to need to get a veteran guy to come in here for a year or 2 and mcnabb would be the best guy to pursue. so if the eagles are willing to trade him i'd say this is how it gets done.

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 NO. If we trade for McNabb make it conditional and dont give away the chance for LT or NT that are desperately needed unless off course you solve those issues in FA. A first is too much for a guy ya expect a few years from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A first is too much for a guy ya expect a few years from we wouldn't be giving up a 1st round pick we would just be swaping 1st round picks. we could use that 24th pick to try to move back up to the middle of the 1st round if we have to.

Pete Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 No !@#$ing way! How about we keep our draft picks and don't trade them ala Bledsoe, JP, Denney, McCargo, etc. When is the last time draft picks traded away by the Bills actually worked out?

No! No! Please God No! I know you have heard of McNabb- but he is not the guy that will turn this franchise around. The one good thing about sucking so bad is that we get a high draft pick. Lets not !@#$ that up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcs98gt Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 D-Mac is not the answer.He has 3-5 years left but not to be in a rebuild situation Too many needs to give up #9 pick.This is a longterm problem and I think the first mistake is the coach.Get a solid player to add to the o-line ang get Vick for a 3rd or 4th round ,use the quality Rb's and Wr's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 favre was traded for a 4th...negotiations start there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 a 1st is WAY too high to give away for McNabb. that just screams of desperation, a la Bledsoe trade which set us back years. I wouldnt be upset if we traded a 2nd, or 3rd and 5th for him. but not our #9. We need to get an impact player who will be on the team for years at that spot, not just a 2 year band-aid at QB.

playman Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 with the expected run at OTs i doubt there will be any left at 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 favre was traded for a 4th...negotiations start there It was a conditional pick that turned out to be a 3rd. Favre was 5 years older than McNabb is. A second rounder or swap of 1sts & a later round pick is what will be needed to get McNabb. A Bills contract extension will also have to be part of the deal before the trade is finalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 A 3rd rounder, plus throw in Marshawn Lynch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a good idea. The talent level between a LT available at 9 and 24 does not seem that great this year. Also, this idea enables us to KEEP a first round pick, (apperantly this point has been missed by other posters). The later pick will net us a good LT at a lower price and a great QB. I really don't see a downside here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way anyone gives up a QB the quality of McNabb AND a first round pick for even the #1 overall pick. It isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I suggested this before....I think it would work out right IF they were agressive in free agency for veteran offensive linemen....... QB IS a need....and a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananathumb Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 McNobb not worth any kind of draft sacrifice. Use #9 for McClain or a LT. I'll give Philly Whitner straight up for one of their QBs. Let Buddy keep his draft picks and see what it brings. That's the one thing he is supposed to be good at.
