S.I. : Bill's All In On Trading Up Into Top 5

If QBs go 1, 2, 3 then Denver will probably not take the 4th rated QB over Barkley or Chubb. Will Indy trade down again and possibly miss out on the 3rd rated non QB?  If they really like the OL from Notre Dame, they may also make the pick.  Pick number 7 looks like the sweet spot to trade up for the 4th QB.  Their GM has already said he is looking at trade down offers.

They won't take the 4th best QB but we will? Why is it good enough for us but not them? Denver is the only team to have the GM and HC at every QB pro day but they aren't taking a QB? I don't get it

I'm happy we got in but If Andy Dalton didn't connect on 4th and 12 the drought would still be active. 

 

We gotta be realistic this team needs a lot of work. 

 

If it's and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas.

How do you spell Bills with an apostrophe?  Don't you have to go out of your way to get the apostrophe in there?

 

one of my pet peeves - blatant misuse of unnecessary apostrophes. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I don't think the Giants are moving down so only way it happens is with the Browns at 1 or 4. 

 

  Agreed.  The "source" at OBD may have intentionally planted false "information" to goad another team to make another move based on that information.  This would in turn force a prospect down where the cost would be less if that prospect was sitting there at 6.  Somebody  on here recently indicated that OBD was airtight in terms of information and I would tend to believe that until a leak can be proven to exist.  In any event I will believe it when I see it.

They did sign Case Keenum but may pick a QB if the right one falls to them.  They did have Mayfield on their squad at the Senior Bowl so they certainly could go that way if they really like him. My point is that if 3 out of the top 4 QBs are gone and Barkley or Chubb is sitting there, they may make the pick.

It was actually cause TT won 9 games.  Yeah I know he is not an NFL caliber QB.  What team doesnt need work?

Per Robert Klemko Sports Illustrated per source in Bill's organization.

 

Same series of tweets where he mentions Baker Mayfield's 4th meeting and visit with Bill's.

I can see Mayfield being a favorite of McD.  He is competitive and has an underdog mentality.  McD had the same coming from a small school DB.

 

Some may say Mayfield is overconfident, some say cocky.  But he is a QB when your down two TD's with five minutes to go that you want in your huddle telling the guys "we're gonna do this"

 

As for the moving up thing, This is a no brainer.  Bills are merely trying to throw smoke screens so that they have to give up the least amount of collateral to move up

 

But make no mistake, they are moving up.

I fear that the Browns will want Barkley too badly at 4 and the Broncos want Mayfield at 5. There just might not be a trade to be had at almost any reasonable price. I wouldn't mind taking Lamar Jackson at 12 and using the rest of the picks to fill out the rest of the roster. If you can't get Mayfield or one of the top non-Allen QB's then go for a project QB like Jackson with massive potential and build the rest of the team up around AJ.

The Bills are going to #2. It won't happen until draft night because they want to be 100% sure Cleveland hasn't taken their guy. The price will include our 2019 #1. 

 

Beane basically told us all this earlier this week. 

Who be dat guy!!! 

 

I’m pretty sure Darnold is gone first. Who would YOU take at #2?

The limb you are daring to go on is on the verge of snapping. Get off of it right now before you hurt yourself! Is the qb you are speculating about either Rosen or Allen? :)

They missed their window. It was 2 weeks ago with the Colts. I can't imagine anyone else trades out unless you grossly overpay

Holy smokes, can you regurgitate this same argument anymore?  We understand - the Jets hopped up to 3. Maybe the price was too steep from 12? You sound like a jilted lover.

Or, it could be possibly be due to the fact that the Colts DIDN'T WANT TO TRADE OUTSIDE OF THE TOP 10???  Why don't people get this????

That too. But don’t let anyone know I agreed with you.
