Tyrod's friend Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 17 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: He means Darnold and Rosen are not on the Browns board. It was reported Rosen was not on two top 6 teams boards fwiw Not sure how valuable that information is. So ...take two of the Giants, Colts and Bucs (7 picks, 6 teams) out of the realm of choices. That seems like facts, not information. Doesn't change anything.  Broncos and Jets won't take Rosen, that's information. 40 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said:  I was literally just going to write this. It seems too easy to NOT be true. GM personally scouted Mayfield 5x before he became a GM. Suddenly, the Bills FO goes to Cali for a scouting trip to Darnold. Why is that? Mayfield at 1 changes the Jets at 3 (not to belabor the point, but NYC is home to a ton of Jews, and it is in part always about marketing in NYC). 2 and 4 are in some order Chubb and Barkley, unless Gettelman is willing to move down to 5, in which case he gets one of Chubb, Barkley, Nelson. All of this puts Darnold in play in a way that Allen would not have put him into play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love the conservative nature of every regime that sets foot in Buffalo. Hey, we made the playoffs....should carry us for another 17 years.  1 hour ago, jkirchofer said: I think they honestly underestimated the aggressive nature of other teams and the trade market overall. They thought the market would come to them, and now they are on the outside looking in at the top 10. I look forward to the press conference after the draft where they say that McCarron was always their guy and that the Cornerback they drafted at 12 (where they wanted to stay) will be the tipping point for another playoff run. I am just lowering my expectations significantly going into Thursday night.  59 minutes ago, Dr. Who said: Still time to redress the situation. If they settle for what you postulate, they are dopes and it won't sit well with the fanbase (nor should it.)  52 minutes ago, jkirchofer said: They could achieve this by trading out of No. 1 (for No. 12, No. 22, No. 53, and 2019 1st), and then trading back up to No. 6. Then it would Chubb at 4, Barkley at 6, and Jackson at 22.  Or the Bills who actually have multiple people studying this full time don't feel any of the QB's are worth giving up that much to move up. As believe it was Sean Peyton stated a week or two back, there are no Andre Lucks, or Carson Wentz in the draft. So if that's the case, why give away the farm for the next say Andy Daulton?  Think it will take alot more than you're suggesting to get to #1 The Jet's over paid the equivalent of around 300 draft points to move up 3 spots. The Giants are rumored to have turned down 3 #1 picks for the #2 overall, so why would the Browns take so little to give up #1 overall.  I've read i t he past too when calculating the value of draft picks one year out, you downgrade by one round So lets say you assume the Bills would have the #10 overall pick in 2019 draft. Well that's the value of the #42 overall pick or around 500 points. Certainly is downgraded to some level as a team taking it has no idea what the value of it will actually be. Teams typically over pay to get that high, likely means you'd need to give Cleveland a minimum of 3500 draft points to get that high.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkirchofer Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I understand that there is quite a bit of apprehension about giving up the farm for a Quarterback, especially in a draft deep in other positions. However, this draft class predicts to be the best overall for Quarterbacks for the foreseeable future. If not this year, then when? Are you going to hedge your bets on Drew Locke next year? It's not like franchise level Quarterbacks hit the free agent market that often. Every once in a while, you just have to take that risk. I hope that is what happens this year, but history has shown we have a hard time venturing out into the unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBillsWestCoast Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Josh Allen #1 may be a smokescreen...  The truth may be that the Browns are trying to get teams to trade up early to pick #2, so the first 3 picks are QB and they get Barkley or Chubb at #4. Josh Allen seems unlikely at #1. Still thinking Darnold at 1 for now. 3 minutes ago, billspro said:  It is starting to seem like this rumor is legit and not a smokescreen.

TheFunPolice Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hue Jackson is employed because ownership dictated it, and will be gone the first chance the GM gets to fire him. His major accomplishment as a head coach will be somehow not getting fired after going 0-16. Haley will be HC by mid-season, and then the GM can finally hire a coach he actually wants.
