Only if 1 of the following: 1. Gettleman is greedy giving someone a chance to offer more or bleed the Bills for more. 2. The Bills have only targetted 1 guy worth trading up for. 3. The Giants have 1 guy they would take at 2 and want to see if he'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not working out for you because you're drafting 11th. smh I totally get this line of thinking and dont disagree... but I also think there is a flip side with a lot of coin at stake. Obv this isnt as clear cut as luck, but I dont remember if the colts said weeks before they were going w luck or if he worked out for other teams. Darnold does not = luck, but might be the closest thing to this years version. I wonder if say Miami asks for a work out... what is his response?

If another GM is in love with one of these guys they may be willing to part with lots more long term. The jets traded 3 2nd rd picks to move up 3 spots. Someone could give up the house this year plus multiples next year. It COULD happen, not saying it will. You just never know because we don’t know the bills offer.

Joy to the world if the Bills have to pick from those 3. They would take Darnold I believe. Rosen is right there there. I don't think they take Mayfield over either.

ndirish1978 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I think it's a 3 way trade with another team in the top 8. Beane mentioned being wary of trading up to 7 or 8 and then being "stuck" if you can't keep going higher. Seems like there's something going down that requires 3 teams to act simultaneously.

gobills1212 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The giants message board is kind of amusing. Although they might be a little behind in saying they know the Bill's want Allen, they seem to think trading a bounty for Allen would be dumb and they are all over it. I'm indifferent on Allen but they seem to love Darnold (and rightfully so) and seem to bite hook line and sinker the gmen take him at 2 if he is there. They very well may of course but there's smoke everywhere so who even k owes who loves who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think NYG would rather have 12,22,53,65 than splitting it. Imo 2019 2nd is on thr table. They want 2019 1st. Beane is staying strong. Come eve of or day of that 2nd becomes 1 and is done.

I mean, I get your point about QB drafting. I'm a Rosen Fanboy (trademark) It's just that we have a LOT of holes to fill, especially with Wood and Incognito out of the picture. Two unexpected hits. And do we have linebackers? I like that Boston College kid, but is that it? So yeah: I would trade up for Rosen, but... I'm not going to myocardiacally infarc if we stand pat and draft 6 players in the first three rounds. I like AJ McCarron well enough. There has got to be a "thin red line" somewhere, and I think McBeane knows where that is, and that heartens me, tbh.

Not sure what you meant here. sure, we could move down, but it will be a failure if we don’t secure a top 5 QB imo. We need upside. If Lauletta, Rudolph, white or any of the other guys projected after rd 1 is the first QB we take, Beane will have missed out.. top 5 QBs or bust. All 5 have very good ceilings. The others are Andy Dalton max imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiserplayer Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 the browns take Allen we can give up a ton and have Darnold or we can give up almost half of that and get Rosen or mayfield at 4-8.

apuszczalowski Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think that the Giants should really try and screw over their stadium partners and make the trade with the Bills but do it for a swap of like, the Bills #12 and maybe a 5th or 6th rounder, then everyone can sit and laugh at the jets for the ridiculous price they paid to move up 2 spots early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what crazy offer will come out of the woodwork. The eagles, I think , waited about a week before the draft before pulling the trigger, so hopefully we can get a deal done before draft day.

Virtually exactly what I think should happen. Exactly the amount I think it should cost. And considering we acquired our extra 1st rounder from a combination of trading down to 27 last year while still drafting a guy with top 10 worthy production, trading a Tackle who never saw the field with the new regime, our extra 2nd rounder trading a talented but oft-injured WR who would have cost a fortune to keep at this point and never saw the field with the new regime, and our extra 3rd rounder trading a QB the new regime inherited and clearly wanted to upgrade on for a price most seem to agree was well above market value, sending those picks to the Giants to get our Franchise QB for the next 15-20 years is something everyone should be willing, if not eager to do 9 hours ago, Bakin said: If they do that, we got hosed. No additional pressure on the ‘franchise QB’. That's actually a very fair value for the 2nd pick, believe it or not. 8 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: We have the best ammo to pull it off.
