If they are that “Brownsy”, the value of the Giants pick will just go up. I’m sure they know that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts on the Bills QB situation: expect the unexpected, and trust McBeane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source cited was Jason LaCanfora so that that what you will. I know LaCanfora has been used many times by agents to get a message out there. "Brandon is trying like hell to get up and get a quarterback," the NFL GM told La Canfora. "I'm convinced he'll trade up twice more if he has to. It reminds me of (Eagles general manager) Howie (Roseman) a few years ago (when he was moving up to land Carson Wentz)." Could all be a smoke screen for either the Bills or another team that has an agenda near the top of the draft order. Until I see a press conference by Beane or another GM I will file this under speculation once again. I don't know why people think that anybody would put the truth out there this time of year because it sure as heck is not to placate a vocal minority of fans.

Scorp83 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 21 minutes ago, WPBillsFan said: No, they almost have to base off of what you just said. It's the point that I just made, but we'll dive deeper. The fact that they passed on Mahomes & Watson... pretty much forced they're hand this year. They could of drafted Mahomes or Watson but chose to trade out to gain assets for this year specifically. You may not agree with the price tag to get a QB, but you can't sit here & deny the thoughts process behind it. Which leads me to my first point... since they made that trade last year... they almost have to make the move. They can't get scared of the price tag... because they wouldn't have the picks in the first place if they didn't make the trade back. They went & traded every asset they could for this moment & your telling me "They don't have to pay that high price"... then they should be fired after the season. Cause they had a shot at a QB, & didn't take it...then chicken out cause the price got expensive. You can do that, you just can't do that in this business! This is so right... on so many levels!

TheFunPolice Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 There are only so many teams to call, so either they don't want to move or Beane doesn't want to pay the price yet. Unless it involves trying to persuade other GMs to accept what they said no to already, what would "trying like hell" even look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 With the possible exception of the Browns, wouldn't just about all of the GMs being trying like hell to move up?

How'd they work out? Unless we are getting a primo QB at the top of the draft, is it worth giving up a boatload of picks to move up 4-5 spots and end up with a guy who'd be there at 12 anyway?

As I just posted, Beane would be smart to not pay their price at this point. If they really want to move, make them sweat over making the pick vs wanting to move. IF they really want to move, they will get closer to what Beane wants to offer. You don't play this game their way. Make them meet you halfway. If they don't move to a more sensible price then they really didn't want to move. Edited April 2, 2018 by NewEraBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskingridgebillsfan Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I am sure he is . If the Giants don't trade out of two I don't see any other trades made until the draft starts. Our best case scenario would be a qb they love falling to 6 , at least that is what I think at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
