BringBackOrton Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Obvious smokescreen. Why would you drive the price up? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Beane should pay attention to what got the last guy fired. Find a QB or be out in two years. Maybe he’s still hoping to swing a trade for Foles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Key word is intent. He might not intend to, but if the right offer comes along he'd consider it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebrastripes Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 There is zero chance any gm in the NFL is going to come out and tell anyone what his draft strategy is. That would just be plain stupid and drive the price up on a trade up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 He actually says he isn't predetermined he has to do one thing at this stage and of course he has to say "I'm comfortable at 21 and 22" because if he says "I'm desperate to get into the top 5 or else we are screwed" he does the selling team's job for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Such a smokescreen. He's already said that Rosen will be one of the 30 players the Bills will bring in for a visit.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I’m not even sure it’s a smokescreen as it is a non-story. A smokescreen would be designed to deceive teams. Are there any teams out there that honestly think that the Bills wouldn’t like one of the top QBs? Of course not, it doesn’t matter what he says.

thenorthremembers Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 They arent spending tons of time with guys like Rosen, Mayfield, and Darnold if their intent is to stay at 21. My mind would be blown if they dont trade up. Guys like Beane and McDermott, who are intentional about everything they do, have to know they will be out the door in three years if they don't fix the QB situation as soon as possible. Waiting until next year would be a horrible choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Asking a GM what his intentions are before the draft is like asking an offensive coordinator to take a look at the playbook before the Super Bowl.

He should be a double secret agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 What I take from this is, he isn't going to trade the farm to Indy or the Giants, but I think if a top 3 QB falls to 10, I have a hard time believing he doesn't move up. If Darnold is there at 10 I'm going to break my TV if we don't go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if one of the too 4 falls, they can move up and keep the rest their draft picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt328 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Brandon Beane needs to follow in the footsteps of the great Buddy Nix. First, cut every veteran Quarterback on the roster and leave yourself with nothing. Second, convey absolute desperation at every opportunity to say how bad you need to draft a 1st Round Quarterback before retiring. Third, overdraft your prospect out of the worst QB class in decades. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ok. First, why would BB ever tell anyone what he plans to do? Two, IF the Bills don't move, it's likely because no team wanted to trade OR the price was too high. Three, you clearly have player(s) you want. What are you willing to give up? For me, there isn't a player that it's worth mortgaging a truck load of picks.

What if the rumors are true and Philly does accept our 2nd round pick for Foles. Then we can use both 21 and 22 to build around Foles. You have to wait and see how everything plays out... You can't go into a draft with a set mind. You have to be prepared to adjust plan based off free agency, trades, how players are coming off the board, and you have to be prepared incase you can't find a trade partner. So we currently have 21 and 22 so we have to prepare for the draft for that unless something changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Or maybe the Bills feel equally comfortable with a few of the 2nd teir options that not many are not paying attention 2 and wil be available.. Just because the "draft Experts" and "Mock Drafts" tell us whom the top 6 QB's should be it doesn't mean that the the Bills don't have comparable grades on a few of the under discussed options. If the grades are close do you trade the farm to move up ?????? Just because the "draft Experts" and "Mock Drafts" think that 4 or more QB's wil be drafted early doesn't mean that in reality there will be only 2 and some major free fallers. 99.9% of the time "draft Experts" and "Mock Drafts" are wrong and off base, and reading into comments made now realy has no fruit..

Just like everyone else I have my own personal preference on who I think the Bills should take. But all I really want is for them to identify their guy and get him. If it's at 2 with Rosen, cool. 21 with Jackson? Splendid. Truth of the matter is Beane and McDermott have a lot more riding on it the we as fans do. Personally I do not want Mason Rudolph. Not in the first or second. Not in the 3rd. Not at all. However, if he's picked...I will become a huge supporter of his. I just want them to have a plan, execute it and we will see what happens.

M. Wrotto Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I hope he keeps to his word. This team has a lot more pressing issues than moving up for an untested QB.
