BBillsWestCoast Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Before you read this, YES I do want a QB. I do not believe we will trade up unless it is between picks 5-9. I actually would take Allen (BUST ALERT) over Mayfield, because of the height and arm strength issues, BUT I would take Mayfield at pick #12. The possibilities are endless. The Giants are a HUGE wildcard. I would be happy if they drafted Rosen and screwed the Jets, but Chubb is probably the target or some type of trade down? This post may piss everyone off and go against everyones mindset. However, if the Bills do not value or believe that Allen (project w/ amazing arm, inaccurate and quiet leader) or Mayfield (short w/attitude, average arm, but does win) are their guy. This also means that the Bills are not interested in giving up 3x first round picks (2x 2018 and 1x 2019, maybe a 3rd too) to move ahead of the Jets. The Only way the Bills would trade to #2 is if Darnold was there and he won't be. I do not believe that they think Rosen is worth the draft capitol, however if they did, then Buffalo would need to trade up to 4-6, then up again to #2. My guess is 2 teams will compete with us for a QB in the top 11 or everyone is blowing smoke and 1-2 may fall all the way to pick #11-#12. Miami is in bad shape and should trade down too (note: Miami may be looking at QB). SF needs a #2 pick. Picks 5-11 all have a QB. Broncos and Colts want a Blue Chipper, so the price may be steep. Getting to #12 was by trading CG to the Bengals, so by trading back with again like last year would most likely be with 27. New Orleans Saints or 28. Pittsburgh Steelers to net a #1 in 2019 and a 3rd rounder this year, which to me sounds pretty good to me if none of the top prospects are there we covet. In a draft like this Blue Chip prospects will be gone and we will be looking at the 2nd tier which the value is the same all through the early 20's. We are rebuilding for sure, so if you think Buffalo is jumping back into the playoffs with all of the holes on our team it is unlikely. Our Offense is pathetic at the moment and it will take 1-3 years to get it into the top 10. The Defense can be a top 12 much quicker and keep games close. Now... Buffalo would have fire power to move up and down this year and more next year. We would own 2 drafts and purge the old guys to build a team. We also would have the ability to trade for Nick Foles using the New Orleans #1 next year and a 3rd this year as an option... 2018 Draft #22, #27, #53, #56, #65, #91, #96, #121, #166, #187 (7x in the first 2 days) * Pittsburg does not have a 3rd and maybe we can get their 2019 2nd rounder for pick #91? 2019 Draft 1st - own, 1st - NO, 2nd - own, 3rd - own, 4th - own, 4th - NO, 5th - own, 6th - own, 7th -own (possible compensatory picks?) 1. Cleveland Browns 2. New York Giants 3. New York Jets from Indianapolis Colts 4. Cleveland Browns from Houston Texans 5. Denver Broncos 6. Indianapolis Colts from New York Jets 7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 8. Chicago Bears 9. San Francisco 49ers 10. Oakland Raiders 11. Miami Dolphins 12. Buffalo Bills from Cincinnati Bengals 13. Washington Redskins 14. Green Bay Packers 15.

PaattMaann Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 if we dont love any of the QBs we will stay at 12 and pick our QB of the defense, LB 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Yes, if all the top QBs are out of reach, my plan A is to trade down for next year picks. Problem is, outside of WRs from Clemson, teams usually only trade a future 1st for QBs. What you are suggesting is kind of a catch 22, a player who isn't good enough that we want him but is good enough a team wants to trade up for him. As an aside, I really can't see the Steelers doing that, that's just not how they operate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If they fail to be able to move up, and the big 4 QBs are gone, I think trading down is the only good option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 You dont reverse course a month out from the draft when you have a single goal in mind which is to move up and draft your franchise QB and youve been spending the last year acquiring assets to do so. Many are mistaking Inaction with second guessing. The Bills could have a couple deals on the table involving Giants and Broncos that may go down to draft day. No one knows. Until then we’ll get silly threads like this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the OP is relatively new to the board maybe it can serve as a community service to clarify that a title like this one would suggest that the post would contain a link to a reputable source claiming that the Bills are actually considering a trade down. This post would be much better titled: "Why I think the Bills may trade down." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D521646 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The Bills are going to wait until draft day, and see how things play out. if their guy is where they think they can get him, they will, if not, they won't, simple as that. We need ALL of our picks this year as we have glaring holes to fill. We can't buy the farm without knowing how many cows are in the barn..

H2o Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Mayfield doesn't have arm strength issues my friend and his height has not impeded him in any way up to this point. He is a smart QB who diagnoses the defense quickly and slides to find his throwing lane if need be. Mayfield over Allen all day, every day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutie like, he could play, but, teams caught on how to stop a shorter QB. (arms up) Yes, Mayfield is not as short as DF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 No thank you. I'm fine if no QB they love is there taking an elite player at #12, especially since 4 QBs (maybe even 5) could go in the top 10, which would then push a bunch of amazing prospects down to the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
