simpleman Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have been thinking about multiple trade downs. It could reasonably be possible to end up with 3 2nd round picks in this year's draft by trading out of the first round completely with 2 trade downs. With such a deep draft at our positions of need, there could be 3 quality starters at our positions of need available in the 2nd. Would you be satisfied getting 3 quality starters in the first two rounds, or would you prefer to take your chances on standing pat and getting 2 starters in the first two rounds? Or do you think there will be a 1st round player that will be a guaranteed superstar who will put the Bills in the Superbowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Borgia Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The fans want to trade down and get as many picks as possible. So, three 2nd round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 My dream scenario for tomorrow is trading down with a team in the bottom of round 1 or top of round 2. Pick up an additional 2nd rounder in '17 and a future 2nd rounder in '18. I'd like to come away from this draft with some additional ammo for next years draft. I have my eye on Josh Rosen. Hes going to be a high pick so pocking up sdditional ammo for '18 could make the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 1. you got to have a partner 2. you have got to value for your pick. If the Bills are offered #15 and a 2nd for the #10 you say yes in .10 seconds However, What if you are offered the #12 pick and a 5th for the #10. Is that worth moving down? And teams value draft picks. They want to sign as many cheap players as possible. I'm not trading a 2nd to move up 5 spots. I might deal a 3rd if I had an extra one. Finding a partner is all about finding a team that desperately wants this guy. For the Bills we need one of those key positions to be passed on. If the DL start going and one good one is left at #10 someone is gonna wanna move up. If the QB are falling then someone may want to move up. If the draft unfolds as predicted, we might be a bad spot to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Three 2nds would be HIGHLY advantageous with some of the fallers ending up right in that zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 You could trade down repeatedly and then move up to spots 1 and 2. It can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) You could trade down repeatedly and then move up to spots 1 and 2. It can be done. No, it can't. You can trade down multiple times this year, tank next year to get pick #1 and have the ammo to get pick #2 (like the Browns this year). Your hairbrained idea to trade #10 down multiple times ending up with picks #1 & #2 on Thursday is utterly ridiculous. I'm hoping for Adams / Hooker / Thomas at #10 but fully expect it won't happen. Absent that, I'm hopefully we move down a couple of times (first to ~15, then to ~20) pick up an extra 2 or some extra 3s and take one of Mahomes / Ross / Davis / Williams / Foster at 20 (or even Bolles or Ramzcyk if those other guys are gone).

KDIGGZ Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 this is a very deep draft, I would trade back at every opportunity. are we one good 1st round pick away from being a good team? obviously not. so get as many good players as you can!

thunderingsquid Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It would be a great way to ensure that we don't whiff on our first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsCuse Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If you trade back once, you can realistically still have a 1st and 2 2nd's. (Think EJ-Woods-Kiko year) If you do it twice, you can still have a late 1st and have 3 2nd's. Not sure why you only have 3 2nd's unless you are not counting the Bills current 2nd?
