BuffaloBillyG Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 29 minutes ago, Deep2Moulds46 said: Nate Geary said today in WGR two team sources have told him the bills had a deal in place with the colts to get to 3 and the Jets deal with them really hurt. He also said that's why they traded Tyrod. Not sure if he meant because they knew they were getting to 3 or if the 3rd round pick from Cleveland was a part of the trade package Seems fishy. OBD has been notoriously tight lipped on everything only to have not 1 but 2 "team sources" spill the beans? Not buying it. What I do believe is they likely knew what it would take to get to 3. Just like I'm sure they know what it will take to get to 1,2,4,6,7,8,9,10. Jets likely overplayed and we declined to do the same if presented an opportunity from the Colts.

Chuck Wagon Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 11 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: The Suh interest is a bit puzzling. I'll keep saying it. Everyone thinks it's crazy. I'm not 100% sold the Jets are going QB. They are attacking FA like a front office that knows they need to win now. I just wouldn't be shocked if the move was to jump the Browns at 4 for Barkley, figuring Barkley at RB could spearhead a quick turnaround like it did for Dallas / Jacksonville the last 2 years. Their plan is to play McCown, they signed Bridgewater, they still have Hackenburg and Maccagnan knows taking a QB like Allen, who is going to sit for a year or two, basically ensuring they get very little impact from their rookie class, he's basically picking QB of the future for the next guy.

I am. No way you trade up 3 spots and give up 3 2nd round picks for anything other than a QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it didn’t happen but I will wait till a legitimate journalists reports that info My friend, I truly don't care if you believe it or not. I heard it today on WGR and thought I would pass it along. If you want to chalk it up to BS, have at it. Whether or not you (or anyone) believes the report makes no difference to me whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans involve more than one thing Lmao so they had an insane off season spending and building up that roster, then get in a position to get a QB in the draft, but yeah, no plan.

At this point I think absolute best case is trading up and getting one of Allen or Baker around 7, hopefully only having to give up a 2nd to do it.

Not buying this What makes you think they would have in fact upped the ante? The cost from 3 to 12 would have already been vastly steeper than from 6 to 3. In turn the Jets package was going to take an awful lot to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be smarting for years. Unless Allen is who the Jets like, in which case they aren't screwed. That is unless Allen is the QB the Bills also like and would take at #2.
