Bills have agreed to a trade with the Giants. But the Giants don't want to trade! Sounds like we don't have an agreement

Hey, it's worked for this team for the last half-century, right?

so wouldn't that say that there is no agreement in place...?

I liken it to a metalhead selling his first guitar. He posts the ad, takes some calls, shows it off to a couple prospective buyers. One of them offers $1000. He's not really sure he wants to sell it, but  if he did $1000 would get the deal done.

But in your analogy, it's not just hitting it with the girl in the bar where the investment is basically a few hours and just a little bit of money. But, instead, you have marry her, forfeit your house, agree to the number of kids to have in 4 years, pay for her vehicle, be willing to relocate at any time necessary, be willing to get rid of two of your best and closest friends because she doesn't like them, and ready to forego wild vacations for the next 12 years for someone you've met, and chatted with in an intoxicated condition (QB drunk) over the period of about 3 hours. That's the analogy....

 

So, you can take the hottest girl with all of this tied to the cost, which also comes with a complete unknown as to how she'll age, what friends she'll bring into her life, what her parents or family is like, if she's way over her head in debt, and whether she's carrying any diseases...

 

Or, you can take the girl who's cute, not as drunk, fun and smart and says, just take me as I am, no strings, no requirements and I'll give up for you everything I've got to make this work. 

 

That's full string in your analogy....

In your analogy it sounds like we are trading away 4 years of drafts rather than 3-4 picks. I mean once again if we take the "projected" trade we still have:

2018

1st (#2 overall)

2nd

3rd

4th

5th 

6th

 

2019

2nd

3rd

4th

5th

6th

7th

Beast is preferable.  They are more desperate and usually better in bed.  Plus she probably looked good when leaving the bar.

Would be nice if the guy they want, whoever that is, is still there at 7 and they get him without giving away this draft and the next. Hoping for a starting lb, wr and a couple oline starters in this draft in addition to a qb. Don't expect them to hit on all of those necessarily, but it would be the ideal imo.

Please stay where we are at McBean. We need to gather talent and a QB will fall in the draft. It happens every year. Build up our depth.

you have to take the QB when they are available, depth can always be built trades and free agency like we did last year.

correct except one of those hotties is bi-polar, another just got out of prison, and the 3rd has VD, but you don't know any of this, so maybe the beast isn't so bad, except she also could have any of these things too.

 

so why pay for all the extra drinks for the hottie when all of them may be about the same.  Save your money!

I'm not sure your analogy is sound.  By closing time, the girls left may look pretty good to you.  Isn't this the phenomenon behind the Bills fans once-common fear to expose that budding superstar QB Levi Brown to waivers or the fervent defense of Peterman here?

I'm all for that strategy depending on the context.  This is not the context.  If the Browns do not take Darnold you have to trade to 2 and take Darnold, especially if that's their guy, who I think he's their #1.  You still will most likely have 1 pick in each round.  I'd take Ragnow in round 2, then trade up again at the bottom of round two and take a WR, Miller.  Trade back into round 3 and take either Fred Warner or Dorian O'Daniel.  Then if I can trade back up into Rd 4, Chad Thomas or Brandin Parker, or Martinus Rankin.  All the trades require a partner but the one thing is it's about being aggressive.  Aggressive on the field, aggressive in FA, Aggressive in the draft.  If they have an opportunity to take their top QB, you don't sit back and wait you get aggressive.

Sounds conclusive to me: the Bills should NOT select their next QB by drinking at Ed_Formerly_of_Roch's bar!!!!

When you are an overweight 40 year old bald guy, you take whatever is left because you have to.

But what about the Intangible of her being a Freak between the sheets? If she does things that no other girl does, then it's worth another 1st round pick.
