Trading down in the draft?

Your idea is career suicide for McBeane.

 

The thing is, they might not have a choice.  Look at the QB needy teams at the top of the draft this year.  Cleveland, the Giants, Denver, Arizona is ahead of us, the Jets are ahead...who knows is we even have a chance at a QB.  We can all sit here and say let's trade up let's trade up but if the QBs aren't there by the time we can trade...what do you do?  That's what I proposed in this.  If the Giants stay at number 2 in the draft, Darnold and Rosen could be off the board with the top two picks.  Then, would you really want to give up mulitple picks for Mayfield or Allen at this point?  That's up to you.  I say, restock the draft picks for next year if they don't get into that top two conversation and fill out the rest of the roster as best they can.  Maybe they could bring in a guy like Case Keenum or Bradford to bridge the gap.  

 

The QBs have to be available too.  

 

BTW. I'm all for trading up if that option is available.  However, I'm not trading multiple picks for Mayfield or Allen.  Not worth it to me

Draft talk during the season is bad luck.   This is what led to wide right, homerun throwback, Robert Woods departure, Dennison getting hired, and Gronk committing a felony after the whistle.   

At this point just keep rooting against KC, who might actually be giving us a higher draft pick than our own this spring.

Honestly, I couldn't give a crap if it's bad luck.  I'd rather do my due diligence then believe in some superstition

I think we need to select the BPA of need at each of our selection spots.

 

The more you trade down, the more you risk on losing more talented players

We will see how the dominoes fall though.  If San Fran jumps back up into the 2nd pick...we are in business.  I think they'd want to look to get as many picks as possible to surround Jimmy g with talent.  Seeing that there isn't a lot of top wide receivers or offensive lineman in the class...they should be the target.  Just need the Giants to win

We ended up with Tre White after we traded down last year...and this year, it's not like the top talent in the class is really really special.  By the time we pick in the teens, it'll be around the same type of player we could get later in the first.  

 

The trade partner must be there though

Why are people talking about Bradford or Bridgewater?  Why??  These guys are broken. 

 

Keenum is probably going to be the starter in Minn - he's earned it.

I've responded previously in this thread, but not necessarily to the OT.

 

That said, in my opinion and respectfully, enough is enough.  The start must be with a new QB and you must do whatever it possibly takes to get the best QB that you think is the long term future of this team.  Doesn't mean that QB will be the long term future, but that is what you must have to start with after most 18 years of futility at the position.

 

They had hopes for EJ, but I believe those were simply hopes, even if you ask them about it.  They just needed somebody at that point.

 

Our last winning season Kyle Orton's stats projected over 16 games (and I am not saying he was great by any stretch) would have been 4,000 yards passing, 24 TDs and 14 picks.  Man, we need at least that production regardless of any back and forth we do on these boards.  

 

I always liked Tyrod.  However, I need 3,500 yards and 24 or so TDs from him and if the ONLY WAY I get that from him is having the best options at receiver/TE and one of the best OLines in football, then I just don't think he's that guy.

 

We need a change and it should probably come from the best possible option in the draft.

If you can't select one of the top QBs, do you just select one out of desperation?  That doesn't sound too great.  I 100% agree we need to draft a QB.  But let's take one we love, not one we are ehh about.

Because those guys aren't long term starters...they are guys that can bridge the gap as an okay starter for maybe a year.  

 

The entire part of the post that people seem to be missing is we may not have a chance at the top QBs in this draft.  This is an option if that happens. 

If Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen are gone, who here would be willing to trade multiple first round picks and probably other picks for Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield?  Is that something you really want to do?  If I'm giving up a ton of picks, I want one of the top tier guys and that's Darnold or Rosen at this point

It's been since 1995 since we had a franchise QB. Who in there right mind would want to screw around in this draft with so many QB options and the Bills sitting on two number ones. Do you idiots really want to see the same crap next year and draft Offensive linemen. Please look at the the decade as evidence that is F#@king stupid. Cousins, Bradford and Keenum have been passed around like a joint at a Dead concert. If they were "IT" the teams they were on would keep them. ****HELLO!!****

If you read, I state that the top QBs could be out of reach if the QB needy teams at the top decide to draft them.  There are more QB needy teams at the top than there are QBs that warrant that those draft spots.  They could be gone and we may not have any say in the matter even with all of our picks.  

 

I am in the camp of trading up for a QB but sometimes it doesn't work out.

 

I poised the idea if that scenario were to happen.  But let's throw around insults.  Can't even have a conversation anymore...

Tatonka68, just to be sure you are in the "we need a QB now" camp, right?

 

  Just kidding, my friend.

 

Honestly, it has to stop.  It has stop.  I want one in the first round, too, and the best one we can get.  However, other stupidity (i know, previous regimes, but still) has to stop, as well.  

 

The hell with hindsight as I liked him in the third round then, but nobody on this board...No.  Body.  would have traded up in the third round to get TJ Graham instead of Russell Wilson.

 

No, he would not have been THE Russell Wilson, but he could have sat behind Fitzy for a year, unless he just plain beat him out in his rookie season.  They ended up getting rid of Fitzy anyways and I doubt they were considering him a sacred cow even after they signed him.

For those you forgot or were not around this is what a franchise changing QB looks like. Not Cousins, Keenum, Bradford or some other hand me down QB. Without one of these the Bills will be a joke.

Well, the options have to be there too.  That was the entire point of the post.  If the top QBs go ahead of us even if we try to trade up...what do we do?  I said try to trade down and restock your picks for next year to give yourself the same position we had this year.  We could fill in the holes and go into next year with only QB on our mind.  Who knows if Allen or Darnold even come out.  Do we really just want to take a QB just to take one in the draft instead of grabbing the guy you love?  I think Tyrod is gone and they will be looking for another veteran to take his place until we draft our guy at QB.  If we don't get our guy, I could see this regime passing and not settling for a 5th QB in the class.  If they get the lucky chance to trade up for Darnold or Rosen, hallelujah.  If not...this may be the best option

Failure is NOT an option and there will be a trade partner. Bringing in another teams trash to lead the Bills to another 7-9 season is not the "best option". It is the Doug Whaley option. I would resign EJ Manuel, run on every play and play prevent defense the whole game. THus go 0-16 then draft a QB.

Agree with you, with the caveat that a 7-9 record next year will not be a failure if we draft the kid we NEED at QB and he throws for 25 tds and almost 4,000 yards, but didn't have the tools because we traded up to get him.

 

I am fine with that season and getting him the tools going forward.

 

...I am also fine with paying what would likely be our best quarterback in 20 years, and hopefully a potential or near star in the league right off the bat, only 5 million per for 4 seasons, giving us the ability to play around with money and get him help.

[vincec]

Just stay where you are and make your picks. Forget moving up and down like a yoyo. They could have had Watson last year without moving around. There are always guys available no matter when you pick. You just have to select the right ones.

Yea, it's impossible to do both. Especially when they put the scouts on the phone to do the trading.

[buffalobloodfloridahome]

I think Mayfield could be this years Deshaun Watson. They will rip him apart but the dudes a winner. They will find out that he is more talented than thought in the combine and continue to harp on his flaws. Height, arm strength, accuracy and his attitude.

Deshaun Watson was a lion from the start and the book is still yet to be written on him could always become an RG3 clone.

We don't need a stop gap. 

We need a guy who can come in on day 1 and run the team. 

If Bridgewater or Bradford are the guys, then so is Tyrod. 

 

I would like to see a QB picked with our first rounder - not sure who yet. And see if he can beat out Tyrod. 

 

Im not interested in a stop gap.

Draft a rookie...and if confident in him, let him start. 

Even Deshawn Watsom didn't start opening day for the Texans. Imagine if Savage just middled it and didn't suck so bad that they HAD to put Watson in?  We'd never know who Watson was....

The Bills will go after a qb this year and will spend the necessary fortune to get him if need be. They can't not do this.

You say there will...I'm just pointing out that there may not be.  If a few of the qbs stay in school or the QB needy teams scoop them all up at the top...I'm not drafting the leftovers.  

 

Again, this was strictly scenario.  I said it in the original post that I want the QB but it has to be available too. Sometimes it's not, then what do you do...

[GreggTX]

Without a franchise QB it makes little difference where or who we draft, IMO. If lightning strikes and Luck ends up with us, fine.

 

One other thing -- At what point does the talent drop off or is the talent across the top rounds relatively steady? For example, if you believe there are 8 players in this draft that stand fairly well over the rest, you probably don't want to trade out of the top 8.

I have to believe they are coming out. If they do, there are 5-6 guys who can go in the 1st round. I'd be happy using one pick on any of them. I don't know enough about any of them to justify giving away the farm to move into the top 3 in the draft.  Hopefully the scouts have a clue.

Oh, man, that's what I get for posting when I have no time and should be working. I totally ignored the Dead Cap numbers. What a dolt!! Missed the un-prorated signing bonus for the years of 2019 - 2021. 

 

Interesting case because you think of it as a two year contract but of course, it's actually good though 2021 unless they void it after the 2017 or 2018 season.

If they like Allen or Mayfield a lot and think he might be gone by their pick ... sure, go ahead and trade up a bit. Not to #3 or anything crazy, but yeah, go up a few spots. You probably wouldn't have to give up a ton in that case.

 

I was really disappointed to see Garoppolo go to SF. I was hoping we'd have a shot at him or Cousins. Now, maybe Cousins but it's not a sure thing he'll even be available.

 

Oh, and Bridgewater is being really undervalued here. He looked to be rounding into shape in 2015 before the injury. He was playing pretty well and it was only his second year. Wouldn't mind them taking a shot at him if he's available. Not sure he will be.

You build a great o line and a lot of qbs and rbs look good. Add in a good defense and you win a lot of games. A qb can only take a team so far by himself. A few good veterans will be available. I wouldn't spend too much draft capital moving up.

I also think hes cheaper than Bradford plus the dead money from moving on from him

With regards to scheme, if Dennison is gone, that might not be an issue.  But good point, McDermott will still be around and who knows the relationship Tyrod has with him.

[CEN-CAL17]

I see Buffalo Trading our top15 pick + a 2nd rounder to move up and grab a QB.  Then I think they will again try to trade our KC pick 17/18 and drop down in the later 1st and get that 2nd round pick back.

 

Long story short, I feel they will use one 1st rd pick to move up and one 1st rd pick to move back and get more picks all while still having 2 first rd picks and maybe gaining more picks for the 2nd and 3rd rounds.  So we have 5 picks in top 3 rounds, I'd bet we end up getting 6 after the draft is over even after trading up.

Three mocks with Mayfield in the first round, all among the first few mocks on a google search for "2018 mock draft". 

 

Mayfield's in plenty of first round mocks.

 

And I know what's coming next from some people on here:  "That guy's an idiot and that guy's never right and the third guy has him in the mid-twenties and he could easily fall." All justifications,  no good arguments. He might easily make the first. Might not but it could easily happen.

 

 

McShay thinks Mayfield will go in the first. Kiper is not sure, says he's on the fringe.

i clicked on all of those links and wow they make no sense at all.  i want mayfield and then vito or wilkins and i don't see why we can't get both. i also don't see how they have both our 1st round picks so far down. i would assume....with tyrod finishing out that our picks should be about 13 and 15.....imo

[billsredneck1]

i also think that there will be a lot of movement with vet qbs at the start free agency and i think that the whole landscape of how the qb needy teams may change.

i hope mayfield falls to us and if for some rason we have to spend to go up 5 or so spots, i hope we use next year's first and keep the picks we have this year.

High draft picks in the NFL are not worth trading up for. It's been proven again and again. This isn't the NBA, where a top 5 pick cam immediately be a superstar. Accumulating picks, trading down, rolling tnhe dice on MORE THAN ONE pick is how great NFL teams are built.

 

Watch the Browns in a couple of years. They are building something there...they have a good, young nucleus on defense...assuming their new GM isn't an idiot, of course. Which is a big assumption.

 

I'm all for trading down. Get more picks.

The Browns are going to have the No. 1 pick. 2, at worst. They have plenty of picks to pick whichever QB they like...they don't have to trade up for one. They can even trade down, gather more picks, and still pick one of the QBs they like this year. And if he's not the one, they'll have more picks the next year to do it again.

It's kind of hard to figure out who they took with those picks without a detailed draft history, but in 1991, they drafted Russell Maryland, Alvin Harper, and Kelvin Pritchett in the first round, and then took Erik Williams (the most dominating RT I've ever watch) and James Richard in the third round. Pritchett never played for Dallas: they traded him that same day for Detroit's picks in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round! In the second round in 1992, they took Jimmy Smith and Darren Woodson, both HOF-caliber players.

...if I remember correctly by rule, they would lose #1 in 1991 because of the Walsh supplemental so they recouped it with NO.....their whole draft sequence under JJ was probably one of the most fluent periods in NFL Draft History....so you can build through the draft.....as a side note, the '09 Steelers SB club had 19 of 22 starters acquired through the draft....so we need to be smart as hell with our excellent draft capital in 2018........ask Dan Snyder how his King's Ransom Giveaway worked for RG II 1/8............

Worst post I’ve read in days.  You’re saying all 31 teams allocate zero man hours to making phone calls?  Or is that just the succesful teams?  Sure looks that what you just implied.  Maybe I’m missing the sarcasm somewhere in there.  Are you saying that you want Beane to just scout and not call any other teams to see if they can swing a trade? Mind blowing.

....look at the staff Pegula allowed Beane to assemble AT HIS EXPENSE.......chucked full of former VP's of Player Personnel and Directors of Pro Player Personnel (yup the pundits here will say they couldn't find work elsewhere)......think for one damn minute Pegula doesn't expect them to be traversing the country 24/7 as the ultimate draft day prep?.....I sure as hell would be expecting results for my capital outlay (and yes the draft is not and never will be an exact science)....
