BigDingus Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2768346 "The Buffalo Bills could acquire the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft from the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Todd McShay." " Bleacher Report's Matt Miller also expects the Bills to trade up for a quarterback, but he predicted in his latest mock that they will nab UCLA's Josh Rosen after ascending to No. 6 in a swap with the Colts." I don't even want to think about what it'd take to get there, but as long as Beane & Co. are THAT confident in the guy (and don't grab Allen) I'm good with it. Also, ESPN article on "Ranking the NFL teams most likely to trade up to draft a QB" (Bills at #1) - http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23019613/2018-nfl-draft-ranking-six-teams-mostly-likely-trade-top-quarterback 1. Buffalo Bills This is the most obvious choice. The Bills already moved up from No. 21 to No. 12 in a deal that sent left tackle Cordy Glenn to Cincinnati, and they still hold the No. 22 overall pick. Having two first-rounders gives Buffalo a unique ability to maneuver in the first round, and having unproven options AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman on the roster gives the team motivation. Problem is, the old draft value chart developed by Jimmy Johnson assigns a point value of 1,200 to the No. 12 pick and 800 to the No. 21 pick, which adds up to 2,000 and is therefore a bit less than, say, the 2,600 points assigned to the Giants' No. 2 pick. So if the Bills want to jump the Jets, it's going to take more than just their two 2018 first-rounders. Buffalo might be better off eyeing the Browns' No. 4 overall pick, though by that point, the Bills could be left with their fourth-choice quarterback.

Just get it over with so we can stop arguing about who we should draft, and start arguing about who we should have drafted, and which of our draft picks suck or will be HOFers based on OTA practices and his reaction when they call his name. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Most posters here consume sports news 24 hours a day and seem to enjoy it...but then are surprised when media outlets have to produce "content" 24 hours a day as a result. Here's an idea: stop going to these websites, turn off your Twitter, and wait for the F-ing draft! Then you'll know all about everything, and none of it will be fake or manufactured!

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Buffalo Bills trade up for Lamar Jackson Chad Reuter 2018 NFL Mock Draft 4.0 Could the Buffalo Bills miss out on the top four quarterback prospects in the 2018 NFL draft? Buffalo has the draft capital to move up, but that doesn't ensure that the team will be able to get one of the top quarterbacks in this year's draft class. Quarterbacks could come off the board quickly with the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and New York Jets holding the first three picks. NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter's most recent five-round mock draft showed a scenario where the Bills missed out on Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield. Reuter had Allen, Darnold and Rosen being selected with the first three picks. The fourth quarterback, Mayfield, would be taken ahead of the Bills at pick 8. Reuter's mock draft had the New Orleans Saints trading all the way up to the Bears' spot to find Drew Brees' heir apparent. With the top four quarterbacks gone, Reuter had Buffalo trade up to No. 9 to select Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. Buffalo gave up the No. 12 and No. 65 picks to get the 49ers' pick Edited April 5, 2018 by DaBillsFanSince1973 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
