I often wonder when I read those types of posts, imagine if it was true, how long would it take before the guy with the inside source (in this case the District Manager of the guy tweeting) was cut off and defriended by his Bills source?

This is the part I don't get in this particular scenario. With the info this guy gave out, if this were actually true, there's no way Brandon isn't easily able to put the puzzle pieces together. Again, if we're assuming this is true (which I highly, highly doubt), Brandon probably told what, maybe 5 people at the most about it? How many of those 5 do you think works as a District Manager and also as a referee? I'm guessing the answer is 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the posts on this board are rumors, what scouts think, tweets that may/may not happen, mock drafts that may/may not happen, etc. Not every post is FACT or CONFIRMED. It's draft season for crying out loud. I don't see what the big deal is. I thought people would be interested in reading it. It's probably not real, but how do I know for sure if it isn't. Could happen. I would love to see it happen, as I would love to see Sam Darnold wearing a Bills jersey.

Kirby Jackson Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It makes sense.... I’m not saying that he is right or wrong but at least it’s logical.

aristocrat Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 So what do the giants get out of it? They drop back to four so a second rounder sort of like the bears trade to miners last year. So we go to 1 and it’s probably 3 ones and a second. Three ones to browns and the second to giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Just some random guy trying to make a name for himself, but I too think some version of this is what happens. I think we have 1 guy (Darnold) we are willing "give up the farm for", it just so happens a visit to see him in LA gets scheduled for this weekend. I think I side on Allen being smoke from the Browns, but I think they like one of if not both of Baker and Rosen. There's no value in taking a guy #1 overall that you can get at 2 or 4 when you know a team will pay a ransom for #1. I think the Giants are legit not going QB. I can believe there's a contingent deal in place with us and the Giants, the Browns might have been looped in or sniffed it out and said "we aren't taking Darnold anyway, trade with us" and remove the contingency. I can absolutely see a trade for #1 getting announced soon if everything goes fine in LA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) I think it's interesting and makes sense. At the end of the day you have The Browns, Bills, and Giants working together to move around the draft board. They essentially F over the Jets, which the Bills and Giants would both want to do. The Browns and Giants still get the guy they want, and pick up extra picks. I'll consider anything that gets me Darnold or Rosen, though I do really like Rosen.

dezertbill Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Based on the great length he goes to explain everything it may have merit. My only thing is if it is true Russ Brandon (nor his boss) probably doesn’t want his name out there leaking draft secrets. If your going to put stuff like this out there be smart about it.

That's where I'm skeptical, but it could easily be the work around with Denver not wanting to play ball and the Giants wanting to stay top 5. I'd think the Browns want to hold on to 22 since they have so many other picks and that's more quality, but you could easily give the Giants 4 / 53 / 56 to get their same player. I'm not convinced the Giants would trust the Browns on not getting played, the Browns say "oh yeah, we are totally going QB", flip up to 2, grab Barkley or Chubb knowing it would likely slide at least 1 QB into 6 or later where they can give up a couple picks to go get them from 12. But I could absolutely see a scenario where Cleveland hears or figures we've got a deal with the Giants contingent upon Darnold and just says "we don't want Darnold anyway, we'll just trade you the pick".

Wayne Cubed Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) I mean it’s not that far fetched of a scenario. It would totally be a Browns type move. My only question would be why would the Browns not just take Allen at 1... and then pick someone else at 4. 2 and 12 isn’t nearly as nice unless what he can’t remember really really sweetens the pot. Funny though that his bio says Bills and Sabres insider ? Edited April 13, 2018 by Wayne Cubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
