Time for Beane to Call Gettleman - Beane Says the Bills Have the Capital to Get to #2

[26CornerBlitz]

Several people I’ve spoken with speculated that the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills likely have a blueprint in place for a trade that would allow the Bills to move up to the second spot in the draft. They also believe that the trade won’t happen until very late in the process, if it happens at all, as the Giants want to field further offers.

I agree it’s probably in the Giants best interest to wait until the last minute. Who knows what crazy offer will come out of the woodwork. 

[26CornerBlitz]

Ask 5: Which team is most likely to trade up for QB in 2018 draft?

Executive 4: Buffalo Bills
Currently hold: Picks 12 and 22 in Round 1
"The Bills need a quarterback and they have the assets to move up and get him."

Summary: That's three votes for the Cardinals and one apiece for the Broncos and Bills.

Conclusion: These are some very interesting responses. I believe the Bills are the team most likely to trade up for a top QB given the package of picks they could offer. They signed AJ McCarron to be their "bridge" QB, but they are still in the market for a franchise quarterback. The fact that they have a workout scheduled with Sam Darnold tells me they have convinced his representation that they are working on trading into the top five of the draft -- I can't see Darnold working out for a team destined to pick outside of the top 10.

I can see the Bills sending both 1st, one second and that 3rd round pick they got from the Browns along with another pick perhaps in 2019 to the Giants for the 2nd pick in the draft.

you know, I just don't buy that - it's nice that Darnold is generally regarded as a top pick, but stranger things have happened on draft day, and no representative would like to be "that guy" who cut his guy out of a deal to be drafted at 6-12

If they do that, we got hosed. 

No additional pressure on the ‘franchise QB’.

So basically Beane is buying the engagement ring and Gettleman is still dating other teams?

Dorsey drafted Mahomes right? Do you think he could go with another rocket arm in Allen? I'm convinced it's Darnold but it's a fair point that he could have a protype he favors.

That could have been Reid’s call. Word is he ran the show, and ran Dorsey out.  Dorsey also traded for Alex Smith and signed TT who are not considered big arms.  But,  possible he wanted Mahomes.

Agreed, I thought that strange as well. I'm not working out for you because you're drafting 11th. smh

I see some national media types and in this case executives pushing this narrative that after all we've done to build capital and all the scouting of QBs we are just going to sit on our hands and watch the Cardinals or Patriots trade in front of us and it really bothers me.

After everything that has come out this off-season from the Browns, bills, and Giants, based on what teams have said and their needs, I think it makes most sense for

 

Bills: get pick #2

Giants: get pick #4 and mid round picks

Browns: take QB at 1, get picks 12 and 22

 

More picks would be involved to even up value, but I think these are the proper draft positions for the teams to get the most value out of their draft picks.

 

The bills get their QB.

The Giants get more picks for depth and can take the best non-QB at 4

The browns get QB at 1 and get their starting CB and starting OT all one draft in the first round.

 

I'd be surprised if this has not been discussed by the three teams.

this makes a whole lot of sense for all three teams. I have been thinking for awhile now that a 3 team trade is what will get us where we want to be.

If Beane cam make that happen, he should be put in charge of Middle East peace negotiations.  The Giants and Browns have been playing cat and mouse for the last 2 months.  Can’t see the 2 of them agreeing to a 3 way trade unless Cleveland has given up on getting Barkley at 4.

3 Team trades, especially those that are involving such high profile chips, are so rare. Hard to imagine this going down.

More like they are friends with benefits but Gettleman is on the fence about making it an exclusive relationship.

So I get excited at the first part of the tweet, and then a big letdown.  Blueprint to the trade...."YES!!!" ... and then "if it happens at all, as the Giants want to field further offers".?

We have the best ammo to pull it off.

So speculated means "I am guessing but will act like I heard it from others to get people to click"?

[Buffalo_Stampede]

A trade up to #2 is gauranteed unless it doesn't happen.
