Bills may trade down?


Recommended Posts

I'd be very surprised if either Allen or Mayfield were still around at 12 and I'd be really upset if they threw away a 12th pick on Jackson or Rudolph. They could trade down and get one of those guys, but why do we even want them. I liked Jackson at first, but after watching him throw at the combine -- UGH! Rudolph, I hear, will never be any more than average QB. If we can't choose from Darnold, Rosen, Allen and Mayfield, I say let's tank in 2018 and get our QB next year, if one of available.

They may trade down , they may trade up or they may stay where they are

You have impeccable insight, my friend! How do you do it?

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. :thumbsup:

Can this even be a question?


I'm not a huge fan of the crotch-grabbing, look at me antics. But Baker Mayfield is going to have one helluva NFL career, right out of the gate.

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.

 

I agree. The Steelers have traditionally never done that, unless they traded for a QB.

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 

 

 

 

I definitely believe that the deals are almost in place, but contingent upon the Giants true game plan. QB, DE or trade down. Denver may trade down?

Wow. That would never happen. Ever. No need to even discuss it.

 

I hope not, but I would not doubt it what-so-ever.

 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."

 

Very true. OP in the future it would be a good idea to not seemingly post an opinion as news you're reporting. Thanks!

why would we trade up, to turn around and trade down?

 

1- We used a player not picks to move up. Strategic move to get into position to move up for QB

2 - Beane said that we were not ready yet to evaluate the QBs and Jets boxed us out, by raising the price to 3 first round picks and a 3rd rounder.

3 - Then the Giants traded JPP.... Why? Rosen or Chubb is my guess. Or a trade down to top 5 and still get Chubb or OG

4 - Rosen was the target. Do we believe strongly that Allen/Mayfield can be our guy?

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.. ;)

You should be Assistant GM!

Let's trade back to get more ammo for next year when there is even less QBs coming out.

Brilliant.

 

I hear yah. Luck of the Bills. But overpay for an average QB instead or build the roster?

 

I buy lottery tickets, but don't expect to win.

 

However, if a guy is worth the risk pull the trigger or trade up. I can't say since I have to ignore the press.

I think you may be right. His swag is off the charts. If Allen had his swag, then I would choose him. Mayfield will be limited. Think Chad Pennington with a bit more juice and athleticism.

I know we gave a player not a pick, thats irrelevant. We gave up something to move up, why would we turn around and move back down. We didnt save that much cap space. So we moved up for a strategic qb play, or we wanted a player (say Roquan Smith) that has value around there.


Trading down would negate the glenn trade

I believe Roquan is the guy if not a QB, if he is gone, then why not trade down and turn a 2nd round for Glen into a 1?

That or the other lb edmunds. I have a feeling one of them will be there, but yes is one of the top 4 qbs are gone and the lbs are gone, we may take vita vea too.  If he is gone too, then trade back i guess, but i think that has the smallest chance of happening

Edmunds physically is a dream guy, but I hear he is slow to react. Can teach that, so he to me makes him Zack Brown with size, but I did love Urlacher!.
