KDS73 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 So you think we could have traded up to get him from our spot......okkkkkkkkaaay Didn't the Eagles trade up from somewhere in the teens to get him? First to #8, then to #2 if memory server me correctly. That first trade was the one that sent Kiko to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenhigh Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 A team HAS TO trade with you if you ask nicely. It's in the NFL bylaws. Is that the "sugar on top" clause in section 49, subsection 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackOrton Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 A team HAS TO trade with you if you ask nicely. It's in the NFL bylaws. The Cleveland Browns have a "We'll only trade with the Eagles," standing policy. The baseball guy in their FO loved McNabb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 No your suppose to trade up that high for wide receivers and worry about quarterback later after you've traded said reciever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishDave Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 He played phenomenally tonight. Really commanded the offense. He did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The Browns not drafting Wentz is worse than any non pick by the Bills during the drought. The Browns passing on Wentz is like the Bills passing on Watson. Both teams decided to wait until next year for their QB. The Browns ended up with Kizer, the Bills will end up with TBD.

BillsFan4 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 We could've had him. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000652364/article/cleveland-browns-willing-to-trade-no-2-overall-pick The Cleveland Browns have a "We'll only trade with the Eagles," standing policy. The baseball guy in their FO loved McNabb. Eagles traded up from #13 to #8 with Miami before they traded with the Browns. Just going from #8 to #2 cost the Eagles 5 picks - two 1sts, a 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Plus the 3 players traded to secure 2 of those picks. Their #1 CB (Byron Maxwell), a starting LB (Kiko Alonso) + #13 to Miami for #8, and #1 RB (Demarco Murray) to Tennessee for another pick used in the trade. They had been trying to get the #2 pick since January. They were dead set on getting one of the top 2 QBs. With the Bills sitting at #19, I'd think it would have cost us quite a bit more, and even then it may have been hard to beat out the Eagles. The Browns could have easily chose to only fall back to #8 instead of #19, or it could have turned into a bidding war that would be easier for the Eagles to win with a much higher 1st to trade back. To assume we could have had him is a guess at best. Also, wasn't there rumors that Whaley actually did try to trade to #2 or something like that? For all we know he did try and got beat out by the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
