billsredneck1 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 i think we need to sit tight til draft night. if baker falls to 6, we need to have a plan in place. if stupid bids come out of the woodwork, i want to take rudolph and keep our picks and maximize the draft. i think rudolph can have just as good of a future as any of the other qbs. as a matter of fact, if we can sit and get him at 12, i'd feel grateful.

As we saw with the Colts, the teams at the top are more willing to trade back when they don't have to drop down too far. It will be costly but a lot less than trading from 12. In fact there's probably teams that wouldn't fall to 12 no matter what we give up. I think we will have to trade up twice anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing to bear in mind with the second part of that scenario (to move from 7 to 6) is that the Colts get the same player at 7 anyway, as they will certainly not want a QB like we do. In other words - pick 65 would be an absolute freebie. It would therefore be foolish on our part to gift them additional draft capital if we were to own pick 7 and look to move up that 1 spot.

Laughing Coffin Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Bucs could want 12 or they could even cover 22 ++ even more, could be interesting and I think this is as high as we’d trade up in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 8 hours ago, KRT88 said: I'm surprised Chicago hasn't been mentioned. You'd think they like to use #8 to get some of those picks back from their move last year. I'd love to move from #12 to #8. we could keep most of our picks and maybe get our guy. (maybe) I went to College in Chicago from 1997 to 2001 and then stayed in Chicago till till 2013. A couple things... 1. I love the Bills 2. I hate the Bears 3. I have many bears fans and am familiar with their team 4. Based on the Bears moving up for a QB last year (using draft capital and not needing a QB in 2019) - I would think the Bears are ideal partner for anyone to trade up to the Bears for a QB at #8 . Geepers, the Bears would have been in amazing shape if they had played to the talent level of their roster last year. They had a better record than their team. Seriously, after they traded for Trubisky and the current state of the team I thought they were a bottom 3 team in the NFL. Trubisky didn't change anything either way. --> the Bears put up a decent record. Could you imagine the Bears in the Top #3 in the draft this year and be able to recoup picks trading back to a spot before # 8? Could of, would have, should have........... Bears lose a couple more games in 2017 and... 1. They have Trubisky 2. They have a top3-5 pick this year - trade back (easily recouping picks from trade up last year) 3. They could still trade back this year depending how the draft unfolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 If this Chad guy is to be trusted, it sounds like it was the Bills who were in talks with Tampa's GM at the owners meeting for the trade up to 7. McD also mentioned that a team was going through the draft value chart to try and figure it out and he seemed very excited about the possibility. He may also have been talking about Tampa.

You're probably right, but count me among them who would NOT be disappointed. I'm not saying the Bills shouldn't Draft a QB, but given what is likely to be available at 12, i.e. Lamar Jackson, I'm fine with staying put and doing what needs to be done to overhaul the roster. That said, moving up to a place like #7, isn't going to demand a ton of Draft capital and might get the Bills to where they need to be....however, as much as I like Jackson, I don't think they need to trade up for him. So, it would need to be one of the other consensus top 4 QBs who were still able to be picked at #7 for it to be worth ANY forfeiture in Draft picks, JMO.

Worst case you move up to 7, you still see the 4 QBs go before you, but you just gave up a 2nd and you get one of Chubb, Barkley, Nelson or Fitzpatrick, guys who would never make it to 12 anyway.

I would do that deal now knowing that it opens up a ton of options whether it's moving up into the top 5 from there or sitting back and seeing who falls Would you prefer trading 12 and 22 for 7 and 38?

gonzo1105 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Here’s the problem with dealing with the Bucs. You only make the deal under two circumstances. A) One of the QBs you really like drops to pick 7 and you trade up on draft day or B) you trade up to 7 because you already have a deal in place for 2 if you can get pick 7. The problem with scenario B is if the rumors are true the Giants love Darnold, they are not gonna trade down until they know who the Browns take at 1. Right now it sounds like they are leaning towards Allen. In that case, scenario B is highly unlikely to happen unless the Bills, Bucs, and Giants have some crazy 3 team trade worked out in advance of pick number 2 being on the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think giving up 3 second round picks to move up 3 spots with a 50% chance your #1 QB is off the board is a good move then you are part of the few that do. It was the equivalent of giving up the #1 overall pick. It rivels the Whaley move to give an extra first for Sammy Watkins. No way a good GM does that. It was a panic move by GM swinging for the fences to save his job. It's a move you make on draft day when the guy you want IS STILL ON THE BOARD, and even then it's borderline overpayment based simply on the value. Its a move you make to get to #1 not #3.
