The Jets trade opens up Mayfield to Bills.

Spot on.  This is my take too.  Either the Giants are taking Rosen or they are selling the pick for a return that'll make the Jets return look like child's play.  I also wouldn't put it past Denver to give Cleveland a pick or two to flop 4 and 5.  Browns walk out of the draft with the top QB and top position player.

 

The gun is to Beane's head now.  Are they willing to trade #12 / #22 / #53 / #56 / #65 / and probably a 1st or 2nd in 2019 for the #2 QB, or are they going to risk their jobs on McCarron / Peterman / a QB picked later?

How did you calculate that trade?   No way Beane makes that move

Even the Jets have to be smart enough to realize letting Baker loose in NYC is asking for trouble.  

But doesn't Mayfield seem like the perfect fit in NYC or Jersey ?

 

He's cocky and everything else a Jets fan is.

Mayfield is a wildcard in this draft. I could see him going anywhere from #3 to #12. Personally I like him best out of all the QBs but I can't tell what NFL teams think. His height might scare people off, I just don't know. If he falls out of the top 5 we'd be crazy to not go get him.

Pick 4 seems like the most likely trade up scenario but that is only if Barkley is taken in the top 3. The Browns take a QB, the Giants take Barkely, and the Jets take a QB. That opens up the Browns (who have just drafted their QB) to take even more picks for a trade up.

I don't think he makes it pass Broncos

Reality and historical precedence.

 

To get to #2, that's very likely the price.  MAYBE take out #65 or #56 or the 2019 pick, but the Jets just gave 3 2nd round picks to move up 3 spots, if you don't think the price for #2 would be something along those lines, i don't know what to tell you.

Bills may be SOL and have to get a QB from next group after top 4.

 

Who is in top 4?  There is a top 5, but I don't think I have seen a consensus top 4.

 

The plan was for the rookie QB to sit.  If the kid is going to sit, any of the top 5 are fine.  Just don't give up too much to move up.  Stay at 12, or move up a couple spots if you have to.

There's no "may be" about it. They're SOL.

 

But hey, one and done and 3 points in the playoffs was worth it.

 

 

If the top 3 teams grab a QB then the Browns could be open for business at pick 4, unless they are just completely enamored with Barkley that a package of picks doesn't entice them. There also exists a trade up opportunity at pick 4 if the Giants take Barkley at 2 after the Browns take a QB.

Browns - Darnold

Giants - Rosen

Jets - Allen

Broncos - Mayfield

 

Then the draft starts at 5

 

Wouldn't be shocked to see Jackson go before 12

 

The good news is we'll be in a position to add a lot of talent to the roster.  The bad news is unless McCarron or a later pick become a gem, welcome to QB purgatory, never bad enough to draft an elite prospect, never good enough to win.

Right on man, 

The way I see it Cleveland, Jests, Denver and Arizona with a move up will take a QB before us at 12 that is if the Bills even take one at 12 now. Will we ever have a staff that holds the QB position in a higher regard?

yep

Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield and Allen...

 

Jackson and Rudolph are in the Jp Losman group

That's funny because I can find countless amounts of analysts, "scouts", media, etc. that put Jackson over Allen and sometime Mayfield.

I’ll bet money Denver doesn’t take a QB at 5.

 

Lots of money.

They sent the GM, head coach, and personnel guy to watch Mayfield and Rosen in person and they requested Allen and Mayfield to be on their team at the senior bowl all as a big smoke screen. Riiiiight

Given that McD himself has said the Bills are "...not as far along as people think...." and our GM has acquired fairly high draft pics to the extent that have 6 of the top 100 pics, it appears to me they want to build a team via the draft; gain solid day one starters and add essential depth that could contribute sooner rather than later.  When Beane was acquiring these picks not once did I feel or sense he was doing so to turn them around and pay a ridiculous price for what would be a high risk player.

 

It would be counter intuitive to forfeit those picks for one position and at that a high risk QB; in what some NFL people view is a very overrated pool of QB's.  I would think Beane should be fired if he were to do the bold suggestion above.  I think staying at 12 and seeing how the draft unfolds would be the prudent and smart thing to do.....panicking and unloading draft picks (ala Ditka) is short-sighted and not what a seasoned GM would consider. 

 

Sure, if the next Andrew Luck were available that is one thing, but there are severely evident flaws in each of the QB's noted at the top of this years draft and it is not like the only missing piece for the Bills is QB.  The Bills have many holes and limited depth, having 6 premier picks addresses that, now.

I would like to thank the Jets for tipping there hand that they want Rosen and for also leaving Buffalo the chance to land Baker Mayfield without having to trade up into the top 4 to get him.

 

If you dont get to 2 or 1 your getting shut out on the top 3 QBs period. 

 

You can try and sugar coat it how you want but you are just kidding yourself

This is why the Jets trade scares me so much. Beane has done everything right up to this point. We have/had all the equity necessary to make a move for a franchise QB. Jackson or Rudolph would feel like old times at OBD.

I am not against drafting a second tier guy they like.......and taking a season with three QB's to sort out the future.  McCarron could well win the starting job over two others, and, might never loose it.  I hate the idea of a high QB draft pick after living through Losman, Manual.  apparently not easy to do or predict.  I would point out to doubters that McCarrons college credentials are very like Watson....maybe even better.  And, with 4 years in the league, he is ready for a shot now.  finally, I am thinking that should we stay at 12 ,and say the top 5 QB's are gone....Bills  might be in the Vita Vea market, despite recent signings.

Darnold is the highest rated QB on NFL.com's prospect list since Luck.

 

This class has been talked about for years.  The notion this is a deeply flawed overrated pool of QBs is utter nonsense.

Losman and Manuel were not drafting a QB high.  That was talking yourself into taking a flawed player early.

I’m not a Mayfield guy, but I’d take him over the second tier guys without question. I’m not sold on him, but he has a chance to be great. I use this an an example to show that I’m not sold on all of these guys, but I won’t deny the amazing potential that the top of this QB draft class possess. I’d be terrible to miss out on one of the first tier guys this year, even Mayfield.
