Bakin Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Trade what? and for who? your vague question unfortunately means I say stay put. I would trade a 2nd to go from 12 to 8 to get Rosen or Baker. Im not trading my draft away to move to 5 and have no chance at the Big 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 This poll is showing that about 25% of Bills fans are stupid. That seems about right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I said trade up but it may not be for the fan favorite of this board. I'm thinking they pick allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racketmaster Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Darnold is the only qb that I would like to see the Bills trade up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlonce Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 If they believe there’s a franchise guy there then cost doesn’t matter. How many first and second rounders not named QB has this team actually hit on? Having a bunch of picks doesn’t correlate to successful drafting. The time is NOW.

DO NOT trade up for Just a Guy. Stand pat in the case where you don''t ave that feeling or the price is just too high (#1 next year). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Not voting because it depends on the price. I'm in favor of trading up, but not if the overpay is similar to what the Jets did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 With 6 picks in the top 100, Buffalo can fill a lot of holes with starters. I just can't see giving all that away on a single player - one who may not pan out. This QB class still seems suspect to me - this isn't exactly an Elway/Marino/Kelly type of QB class. Time will tell and I could be wrong, but just not seeing it happening that way. If Bills can draft well again this year with all these picks, they will be well on their way towards being a regular playoff contender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I kind of like the idea of a trade up into the 5-7 range, but not #2 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlonce Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 6 hours ago, whatdrought said: I say, what are you asking? That's negotiation basics. Don't be the first to show the hand. If they're calling (and they will be) we're in the drivers seat. If they come back and say two firsts this year, and a first next year I counter with 12, 22, and 96. (likely expecting them to ask for 65 back instead of 96, which i am fine with). In bartering and negotiation, as soon as you decide that you absolutely must have a thing, you've already lost. Yes, whomever mentions numbers first loses. Not sure it works that way in this business but it would be foolish for the team with the pick to just ask for a final offer. It would likely be something like this: New England is offering both firsts and seconds and something next year to move to our spot,can you beat that? When we do they will go to NE and play the same game until a team bows out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloflash Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 5 hours ago, Uncle Joe said: Right now I'm going to trust the process. This is Beane's first draft for the Bills. He has more info than any us. My hope is that we can wait until 12 to get the QB he wants n this years draft. That being said I would like to be able to watch rounds 2 and 3 as well I second that thought! The thing we need to understand is,what is Beane's football philosophy?Is it, the QB makes the team,or the team makes the QB.If it's the latter,he's going to need all the picks he can get! We know Sean's the 1 of 11 mindset,so you figure, he could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally expect Beane to go up to 2 , Accomplishing it by going to 4 , 5 , 0r 6 and then to 2. I will defer to Beane in the selection as he knows infinitely more about the players than I do. Also , more than the posters on this board who claim to know . If the pick doesn't,t work out , then you try again. That is why we had those picks in the first place , to get a QB , not to perk up the rest of the roster. Getting a MLB that is better than a street FA is NOT "perking up the rest of the roster". Replacing the only two all-pros on the offensive line is NOT "perking up the rest of the roster". 11 hours ago, BuffaloBillsGospel said: We'll never win on a consistent basis without a QB.

PrimeTime101 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I find this hard cause to answer because we don't no what the #1-3 teams in draft are going to do.. and what they do decide what we have to do! the problem at hand is other people trading up so do you sit and gamble in a decent QB draft or do you get it done? I say GET IT DONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenbar Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I think what makes this leading up to the draft so exciting for me are the multiple QBs projected to be quality NFL starters and Franchise Face Players. Add that to the multiple of picks we have in the draft to enable the Bill to trade up and get the QB they want. Now add the intrigue of who is going to be selected where, how many Qbs picked in front of the BIlls', and the curiosity of when and how far to trade up with and with who. This next week is going to be exciting and hopefully ends with a huge smile for us Bills faithful. I think the Bills trade up however I have no clue who with or who they want. I am not a big fan of Rosen however it is not based on his play moreso his Concussion history already. I dont think you put that many assets on a player who has an injury history. I think Darnold will give someone a very good QB, however if I am going to swing for the fences in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded down by 3 and a 3-0 count I am going after Mayfield. He to me does it all. He needs to tone it way down but who doesnt at a young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
