Bills4life1924 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) That speculative post last week regarding a huge trade might actually have some validity to it. I'm being optimistic that a trade for #1 or #2 has already been made and the bills and browns/giants are just waiting to release the deal. If true, the price might have went up a little with this jets trade. But I'm gonna remain confident that we trade up for our franchise qb!! Go Bills!!

That is my ONLY thought of why I would think a deal isn't in place. But to remain optimistic, draft is 6 weeks away and typically you don't see draft trades until it's closer to the draft. But giants only have 5 picks and of course McBeane is close with Gettleman. I'm not gonna sulk over jets trade and I'm gonna remain confident in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought all along that #3 was the only pick the Bills had a shot at because the Colts still have their franchise QB for many more years than the Giants do, and have tons of holes to fill. I think McBeane lost this one to the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Doesn’t really make any sense to not announce a deal that is allegedly done. What vmbenefits are there to waiting until the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Draft White or Lauletta and use the high picks to make the OL, linebacking, and receiving corps solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One benefit I could think of, is if bills and giants have a deal and announced it last week, teams like the jets/broncos/dolphins would know the only way to get ahead of bills would be moving to #1. Could offer browns a kings ransom for 1st overall. Browns would still have 2 top 10 picks and prob pick up a 1st next for trading back, plus all the other picks they would accrue.

Key word is "assumption".. Let's assume browns really are considering barkley. If bills announced they are trading to #2, another team could jump the bills with an offer browns can't refuse.

Just like eliminating the idea that we already have a deal in place for the 2nd pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXCOL3 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 B. Beane has done an excellent job since coming to our organization and i know for myself, im going to be comfortable for the most part with however the draft shakes out. He got a third for Tyrod so theres no way you can say he blew it. Hes too smart to not have a plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were gonna take a qb 1st, no way they don't let him compete for the job. They signed hyde, so maybe they value draft capital more of an asset than taking a rb with overall pick. They trade, and pocket high draft picks, by doing so. And all of a sudden can fill out their roster with top talent.

So yeah, it’s easy to eliminate possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Pick 3 was always the "Pick in play" Since the Colts said they were not trading Luck they had a top pick and were willing to trade down. The Browns are taking a QB at picks 1 or 4, the Giants are also in need of a QB at pick 2. The Broncos are a thirsty QB team at pick 5. So the only trade up scenario is pick 4 with maybe an outside shot at pick 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
