Expand It could be one of those cases in which everyone already knows that the Bills love him and there is no reason to put up a smokescreen. I think a lot of front offices have really good ideas about what other front offices are thinking. He may be putting teams on notice that they want to trade up. Sure some people may be able to beat us to the Giants pick, but no one else can offer two first round picks this year and a franchise left tackle. There may be no use in beating around the bush at this point. 1

There may be no use in beating around the bush at this point. Expand This is what I think too. I also think they have the framework of a deal in place with the Giants. Heck if they get to number 2 it doesn't matter what others think anyway, they will get a franchise candidate. 1

Expand Only if the cost doesn't hurt their plan to draft other key positions. Like I said, they are not mortgaging the team to get one player, even a QB. Because the best QB still needs the rest of the team to be a winner.

Expand Rebuilding the team into a perennial contender isn't a one year effort. Moving up to get the right QB who can develop into the Franchise guy is worth spending multiple assets.

Expand I think they are willing to give up a LOT for a QB. We will soon see if I am right but my sense all offseason has been Beane wants to trade into the top 5.

Then the next week, I think they are getting into the top 5 again, and so on and so one. I guess they are doing a good job of hiding their true intentions. Realistically, what would it take to get to #2 or top 5? Is Cordy Glenn really a hot commodity that could be packaged in a deal, given his injury history?
