Gray Beard Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Give up several picks for a QB. He’s a rookie and without all the picks to fill holes the Bills will probably not have a great year. Maybe use a bridge vet to give the rookie a few games before having him start. Use next year’s better picks to fill holes, maybe even trade down. The 2019 season is the next chance for playoffs.

And whoever it is they draft, turns into the next Drew Brees or Ben Roethlisberger... Will you naysayers out there admit you were wrong about the trade up? I don't see any right or wrong here. I see those who have their own opinion on what they feel the bills should/would do. in the end, they will do what it takes to try and improve the team and that improvement may take the farm to get their guy, which I'm fine with that. my gut says they trade up for one of the top three, hopefully rosen? 1 hour ago, PIZ said: I believe he'll wear # 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Will you say you’re wrong if they do an he doesn’t pan out? Everyone is guessing. Everyone also wants a franchise QB and starters with the first 3 round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 1 hour ago, DefenseWins said: Remember I said in the beginning that he turns out to be a Brees or Roethlisberger type... They have both had those kind of careers I believe... So does he have to go to a Superbowl and win it? To me, no. The player has to get you to the postseason and the title game.Anything can happen once there. Going to the SB and winning is certainly the endgame, but if you get in the tournament and have a chance for a Conference Championship I'd have to consider the trade up a success .

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) I literally don’t care what we give up. I might not even check. Just go up to 1 or 2 and get Darnold or Rosen. No matter what we give up I will never complain. I literally couldn’t care less. Get the QB. Enough already. It’s not like we can’t fill in the roster. If we traded our entire 2018 draft and oly got one of those QBs, we will still be able to field a team. Probably a better team then we have in a long time.

Honestly, I think Terry Pegula feels the same exact way. 5th-6th best quarterback is not going to change a thing. Go get Rosen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Anyone would trade that amount for the next Big Ben or Drew Brees. Anyone. I haven't actually read the responses, but I assume that's what people are saying. The problem is that hindsight is 20/20. It's the same problem with all the idiots who said Tyrod would obviously be cut once the season ended and that there was no way in hell Buffalo would even consider paying him the $6 million bonus. It's a message board... so all in good fun... but of course people are going to say stupid stuff they wouldn't say to people in real life.

Boatdrinks Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure that anyone could say Taylor would " obviously " be cut. But thinking TT would likely be cut hardly makes one an " idiot". Turns out paying that 6 mil is kind of like collateral damage for the Bills. The timing of the roster bonus means if TT was let go before it was due, it would leave them with just Nate Peterman on the roster. Not a good look to sign FA 's and kind of puts you in the " desperate to move up " category in the draft. Paying the 6 million is the smart move... for now. It doesn't mean Taylor is on the Bills roster in September. He would effectively have a very tradeable 1 year $10 million deal. The smart move is to pay the bonus and address the Taylor situation after FA and the draft. Edited March 5, 2018 by Boatdrinks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Browns will pass on a QB prospect this year, so the top guy will be off the board. There is a good chance that the Giants will take the second best prospect. I don't think the other guys are worth trading up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little more complicated but I would ber thrilled if we ended up with that caliber of player Your not gonna get where we need to go with JUST a franchise qb as much as people say its everything....its not....that franchise qb needs help....protection....a running game.....a defense to keep giving him the ball The next question is will the bills use that huge amount of salary cap space they are going to have to bring in free agents? Or are they gonna have a biuld through the draft philosophy even thought they have given up draft picks? The good teams draft well....they find guys in the draft because you are paying so much to that franchise guy. I am NOT saying they wont do it..El Pegula has shown he will spend.....but that would be the next step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
