dave mcbride Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Chuck Wagon said: Gordon (or Coleman) could be part of the deal, both us and the Giants could certainly use help at WR. They've been the team most consistently linked to Beckham, he's obviously tight with Landry and they employ his college position coach. I don't think Gordon or Coleman has any impact on what Dorsey & co are going to do with the team. Fair point. That said, I do worry that we're moving into the land of magical thinking at this point. The trade sorta works for everyone, but it REALLY works for the Bills. Hence our love for the scenario. But if the Giants would take Darnold if he's there (as has been reported ad infinitum), and the Browns want to take Allen, why would the Giants ever make that trade?

Then they get a RB like Guice at 12..... wow. 12 going to the Giants. 12 & 22, 2 1sts for Beckham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After dealing with Beckham, Gordon may look like a minor inconvenience to the Giants. That's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Browns say "we can live with Allen or Darnold" it makes all the sense in the world to sell Darnold at apex value, especially holding pick 4 where one can reasonably assume Allen is still there. The Browns tell the Giants "we are trading Darnold, so he's out of play for you, why not play ball and pick up some value to still get Barkley and we jump the Jets".

Bills to 1 would have to happens first. Cleveland gets its hall of picks. And knowing the Bills take Darnold, they wouldn’t have a shot. So they take picks off of Cleveland to move back and still get a guy they would have selected at 2. 3 minutes ago, Chuck Wagon said: 12 going to the Giants. 12 & 22, 2 1sts for Beckham.

Could make some sense where there's been Allen to the Giants buzz. Giants trying to bluff the Browns "see we might take your guy", don't trade Darnold.

If the Bills get Darnold, this draft will be a huge success, at least by my reckoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are the only QB needy team that needs their rookie QB to most likely start. That’s Rosen. Suppose Darnold could come in mid season. Allen to the Browns just makes too much sense based on their trade for Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I think the hold up on our deal with the Giants is both liking Darnold. If we deal above them that forces their hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they are split between Darnold and Allen, it makes too much sense to sell the guy someone really wants at 1 vs selling the last guy left at 4.

Domdab99 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Even though picking a RB #1 would normally be "LOL Browns" worthy, this year, I think if Cleveland picks Barkley No. 1, they are guaranteed one of Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield. Why Allen is in this mix, I have no idea...but put him there, too, if they happen to like him. This would not be bad at all for the Browns. If Rosen is dropping, the Biills can just move up to 6 and pick him there. But if they're really going to move up to 1 or 2 for Darnold or - god forbid - Allen - this would not be good at all.

Dude, they all have to sit. Unless it's Mayfield or Jackson because they can play RPO all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
