San-O Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Given the Bills current roster, no QB, new coachs all they way around, why would Buffalo not trade down or out of the 1st round and get extra picks? They need help almost everywhere, have a not too good O-line which I wouldn't want a rookie QB behind anyway, and the curve of learning a new offense. Plus, they may get a QB in 2nd (it's possible) and they have no body to throw to anyhow. Except Evans. Play it smart, trade down, take your lumps and hope to build for the future IMHO.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 No offense, SoCal but I'll be the first person on this thread and about the 300th person total on related threads to say: 1) It takes a willing trade partner, which is difficult because: 2) Most of the teams in the top 3rd of the first round would also like to trade down to pick up extra premium picks. If more teams want to move down than to move up, it's very difficult to pull off this sort of trade. I would bet that any trade in the first round happens during the draft when a player who is coveted, is still available at a certain pick. I think there's no doubt that the Bills would like to/will try to trade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The Buffalo Bills don't rebuild. They rel.... Oh. Nevermind, they simply don't rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince61 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 They have said that they can't do it all in one year. So even in they aren't using the "R" word, they are rebuilding. I agree with the point that they should try to get more picks if possible. The other side of that is that this team has zero star power, and no players that need to be gameplanned against. So if they can get an impact player at 9, maybe that's better than filling a extra hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The only thing worse than not trading down would be forcing a trade down, losing an opportunity draft a top talent, and not getting very good equity. It's not as simple as throwing a dart at the list of teams and picking up the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the Bills will try to trade down if they can find the right partner and I do believe that they should if a reasonable trade is available.

I think there's no doubt that the Bills would like to/will try to trade down. First off I agree with our responses 1 and 2 to SoCal, and another response might be the reason you don't trade out of the first round is then you don't get first round talent. They may not want to trade down if they want Clausen and he's there. So saying there's no doubt they want to trade down may not be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquin1119 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 the only time that i can see having a great time drafting players are the pats, They have a **** load of draft picks this year. They going to enjoy picking up players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Unfortunately, despite what seems to be a popular opinion...because TBD has deemed it better to trade down does not mean that there are teams lining up to pickup the 9th spot which they are trying to trade out from..

That would be AWESOME if they could trade down. We will see soon enough. but i do have to disagree with there is nobody to throw to. Lets see, we have Evans, lynch, Frediie, Roscoe, Stevie J, Hardy, Nelson, Schouman, and didnt we just sign another tight end (his name eludes me)? and the other guy that NE drafted, and then there is a good chance they will add someone else in the draft and possibly another free agent when it is all said and done. So, not exactley no body. I realize what you are saying is its not a star studded line up but seriously, i don't think its as bad as some people believe.
