BuffAlone Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Buffalo moves up to 12 (presumably for a QB). If it fails, then whats the plan? Personally, I think that LB at 12 and the leftovers from the QB run at 22 is their plan. Tremaine Edmunds at 12. Rudolph or Jackson at 22. I tend to think there HAS to be a contingency. And with needs in other places, it makes sense to me that they would feel ok if the draft shakes out this way. Any thoughts on it fellas?

mrags Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I was thinking similarly. What will they do if they can’t move into the top 5 to get their guy. But something tells me they will not be denied. They have the ammo to move up to any spot and are going to make that jump no matter what the cost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Without knowing the Bill's plan we are supposed to guess at what they may do if they fail at the plan we don't know? I think there's no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The Rams and Eagles had their deals done to move up well before the draft. I really hope they don't push this thing out to draft night, too much can go wrong. The Browns take QB at one, the Giants decide to take an Eli heir afterall, the Dolphins or Jets offer a higher pick this year and two future 1sts to get to 3 or 4 and take a QB and the Broncos take one at 5. All the well placed intentions in the world don't matter when you've got 32 clubs acting independently in their own best interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they weren’t certain that they couldn’t move up and get a QB they wanted, they never would make made the move to #12. They won’t stay there and take a LB.

They may end up paying an absurd amount (maybe not) but they are willing to offer enough to get it done. There isn’t anything that will prevent it from happening.

jahnyc Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I think one of the big questions now is whether the Browns are taking a QB (and not taking Barkley) after signing Hyde as a free agent. If the answer is yes, I wonder how this impacts the thinking of the Bills FO, particularly if they were most interested in Darnold. It must be that the Bills like more than one of the QBs coming out or they would not be moving up in this way (unless they are somehow sure that their guy will be there).

No thanks. I think I'll survive. Thanks for caring, though. I'm super excited by the off season and what the Bills are doing. But all of the people trying to guess things and pat themselves on the back when 1/50 of their guesses come true is the annoying part. And people saying things like "Player X is 100% a bust!

Nihilarian Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) So may teams snapping up wannabe franchise QBs its crazy, heck even Glennon found a home.

With no vet QB signed, it would seem waiting for QB scraps at 22 is unlikely to be the plan. That's what they'd do if they had say, signed a Keenum or traded for Foles. It looks like a rook plays much sooner than later, so that would probably mean a move up to at least 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par73 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) They may have to move to 2 to get Darnold or Rosen. Even if they do, say they want Darnold, and Cleveland takes him. What then? Taking a 2nd choice can be disastrous (see Losman, JP). They pretty much have to know what the teams ahead of them will be doing. Nothing is guaranteed (they also need a partner to get up that high).
