Jobot Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Saquon Barkley is being labeled as a better prospect that Ezekial Elliot, and some saying the best RB prospect since Adrian Peterson...We all saw last year what a GREAT run game (or lack of) can do to someone like Dak Prescott (who can only be considered a mediocre qb at best IMO after last year). So why not trade up and get Barkley while all these other teams are shooting dice on all qbs? Would you be upset if the Bills went up and got Barkley at 2 with NY? Obviously you'd then commit the rest of your draft to building a dominant O-Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 If they traded into the top 5 and took a RB, the entire front office should be fired on the spot. It’s not going to happen, though. Zero chance. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes. Any reasonable person would be upset giving up three first round picks for a RB. And that's without considering passing on a potential franchise QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Barkley and think he is a better RB prospect than any of the QBs are QB prospects, but I sure don't want the Bills trading up to get him. I would only want the Bills to trade up for a QB, only into the 5-10 range, and that QB better be named Mayfield or Rosen and not Allen or Darnold.

Dafan Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 If the bills traded up to 5 or 6 and the top QBs were taken (as in buffalo trades before the picks were made) then I might be fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Haha damn, no takers! I guess my thought is that you can make a bottom tier qb look pretty damn good with a REAL rushing attack, which is why I pointed to Zeke effect on Dak. With everyone completely blinded to qb prospect these days and coupled with how good Barkley is supposed to be... going against the grain could result in a big payday. But I get that the cost may still be too high regardless. Edited April 18, 2018 by Jobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes. Our TV would be in imminent danger of breakage. Our kid, who does not like to hear me cuss, would have to SPRINT for her rifle range hearing protectors to put over her noise-canceling in-ear headset run up to her bedroom and shut the door, because there would be cussing, and it would be loud creative and lengthy. It's not just that I agree pretty much the only player to trade up for in the first round, is a potential franchise QB - possibly a game changing DLman (but you better think he's the love child of Bruce Smith and JJ Watt with the mitochondrial DNA of Bryce Paup and Biscuit Bennett thrown in for good measure) The time to take a value shot, is when you have a good or great player at the position. We have Shady this year. Bring in a 2nd day pick at RB. Sign 4 UDFA. Turn over the cutoff bin. Audition audition audition and keep the best.

It's laughable. 4mer, it's not necessarily the same thing at all. Surely you can see this? The time you need to expend draft capital to try to get a surer bet at a position, is when you don't have an established starter at that position. When you do have an established starter, you can try to take lower-probability shots later on, in the hope that if you take 3-4 shots you'll hit on one of them. 1) Do the Giants currently have a top-tier RB? A Shady McCoy equivalent? 2) Do the Giants currently have a very good NFL starting QB? A guy who has won superbowls and who is publically given the nod as having "years left" by his new coach/GM? 3) Would the Giants have to expend extra draft capital to make this pick, or are they already there? I think the answer is No, Yes, and No for the Giants. The only way it would make sense for them to use a top draft pick on QB is if they feel last year means Eli is done right now, stick a fork in him. That was the "desperation move" of the previous coach and GM, but the new coach and GM are on record pointing the finger at the OL and saying they like Eli. Now they could be lying like rugs, but that is what they said right after they were hired, when there's generally a higher tincture of truth mixed into pressers than closer in to the draft. 14 minutes ago, Jobot said: Haha damn, no takers!

And if the D had been decent and played up to its potential, it would probably have gotten us into the playoffs in 2015. But it wouldn't have taken us very deep in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suorangefan4 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Taking a running back in the first round is never a good idea. Trading up for a running back in the first round is an even dumber idea. Trading up into the top 4 and giving up a boatload of picks to take a running back should get a GM immediately fired. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 As much as I like Barkley, hell yes I would be. The Lions had the greatest RB of all time imo and they never did anything. We need a QB of the future and this is the year to get one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and maybe it's just due to more recent/fresh memory, but from the eye test, the Bills run game with Mccoy was never close to Dallas' run game with Zeke IMO. Some of that may be coaching/personnel I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
