If he's correct, then 5 or 6 looks like a good target. I don't think the G-men take a QB at 2, and we know the Browns aren't taking 2 QBs ( I think ..lol) . It's not as rosy a scenario as moving up to #2, but not all bad and not as expensive. Agreed, I was expecting to read it and find a nugget that was new that would be detrimental to a trade up but pretty much everything has been covered except kings speculation. That said, when giving your opinion of who your draft, as the writer, extra picks do nothing for you. He gave the option each time it was appropriate, but said who had pick. Good read, but not a needle move either way imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingOnYouboty Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The top 4 is set CLE-Darnold NYG-Barkley NYJ-Mayfield CLE-Chubbs The action starts with Denver. Do they take Quenton Nelson or do they go with Josh Rosen? Indy, TB, Chicago, SF, Oakland are all potential trade downs 24 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: What I took away from his article above everything else is that the Dolphins are serious about trading up for a QB and must have talked to several teams in the top seven about it. Not a good sign if we let NYJ and Miami to be more desperate than us for QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 As nervous as I have been about not getting in the top four... Browns-Allen/Darnold- I think Darnold is the pick but this is the Browns. Giants-Barkley/Chubb Jets- Allen/Mayfield- I think Mayfield is the pick. All-in-all when buffalo has their chance to move up and strike for a lesser cost, they will most likely have Rosen and Allen available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) My top 4 Mayfield, Rosen, Allen, Darnold. My train of thought goes like this...anyone of those 4 guys has more value at 7 than any of the 4 would it the Bills traded all the way up to 2. Allen@7 is better value than Mayfield@2 Mayfield@7 is better value than Rosen@2 Rosen@7 is better value than Darnold at 2 on and on... If the Bills can be sure to get one of the top 4 at 7 that seems like the best plan to me. I know there is some risk in waiting and they would have to feel the board but that is my ideal situation.

mjt328 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I don't buy all this negative press about the QBs. Some of these GMs are hoping to push some names down the board. For the last 12+ months, all we've been hearing is how ridiculously deep and talented this QB class is. How it was the best class in years. Now suddenly, everybody is so "flawed" - their chances of succeeding have plummeted through the floor. (On a side note, I also find it interesting how flawless of a prospect Carson Wentz has become in hindsight.) Andrew Luck-type prospects come around every 15-20 years. That is not a valid comparison. When you compare these guys to other QB prospects from past years, I find it very unlikely (especially considering the need around the NFL) that we don't see 4 quarterbacks in the Top 10 and at least 5 in the first round. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen has a ton of value at 7, you see it differently and that's okay. All 4 of these guys have flaws and having to use multiple first round picks to take one over another doesn't look like the smartest play. McD and Beane could survive a swing and miss at 7, I'm not so sure they would if they go all the way up the board and still miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten days until the drafts, so no need to go down this road again, but Allen has no business in the first round. Of all the knocks these other three have, none of them are playing poorly against inferior competition. None of them are getting a pass for that inability because of the "team around them," when the QB who started in 2015 for Wyoming (Coffman) completed 63% of his passes, with essentially the same roster.

Chuck Wagon Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I could see Denver taking the route that Oakland and Dallas have recently, taking Nelson at 5 and waiting on round 2 or later to add Rudolph / White type to the mix with Keenum / Lynch. If 2 of the top 4 QBs clear Denver, the price to move should be VERY reasonable, frankly if 2 QBs are on the board I'd laugh at Indy asking for #22, I'd offer them #12 and 2 picks in the 53-65 range. Once you get into the 6-7-8 range, you know you are getting the same level prospect at 12, teams are going to be calling us to make a move up.

That's the caveat with Denver, they are only two years removed from taking Paxton in the first. Very few GMs get to draft two first round QBs. I think Elways needs to build that team for a run with that defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense has fallen off a cliff, but they've had a terrible o-line and no running game for several years. I think Elway recognizes it hasn't been set up for any QB to succeed and they answer that instead of tossing in another guy who is fighting an uphill battle. The real funny thing is if the Giants and Denver do pass on QBs and the Jets gave up 3 2nd round picks to take the same QB at 3 they would have gotten at 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
