Draft Day Dark Horse Prediction!!!!

[BringBackOrton]

Note: 

 

These are predictions that are not of the "Darnold goes #1 overall" flavor.  They are that special combo of unexpected by the majority, but you think there's a decent chance they come true.

 

So here are mine:

 

Barkley falls out of the top 8.

Broncos trade back from #5 with a non-Bills team.

Sony Michel goes by the end of the first round.

None of those would surprise me, although I think the Broncos will trade 5 (and a later round pick) to the Bills for 12 and 22.

[ChanticleerBillsFan]

Rosen goes one to the Browns

I like these.  Although I would put Barkley outside the top 8 as the least likely.

I think they are eyeing a top 10 player and won't drop to 12.  I see a potential trade back to #8 and taking Minkah

[Epstein's Mother]

I'll add Rosen goes #2 to the Giants.

Nope he's completely off their board

[Teddy KGB]

Bills forget to draft qb again.  

[frostbitmic]

Barkley goes #1 to the Browns and they still get the QB they want at #4 in Josh Allen.

But who’s going to offer them a high enough pick?  Dolphins are at 11 and I don’t see anyone in the 7-10 range wanting to trade up.

If Chubb falls to #5, I see the Bucs going up to get him.

Would be interesting considering no one is talking about him going one, dark horse prediction,  and they are obviously taking a QB.  Don’t want it to happen cause I want Rosen.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Lamar Jackson goes top 5

It's already been reported he's off their board entirely. He doesn't want to play there and they don't want someone that doesn't want to play there

Great topics JMC!! I like your predictions too. 

 

-The Bills take a RB before the end of rd 3. 

-The Saints take Lamar Jackson

-Josh Jackson & Kolton Miller will be the last 2 in the green room (excluding Shaq Griffin).

 

[Sharp1128]

Bills keep #12, trade up to 7 by using #22 & 2nd and a mid round pick next year. Take Rosen at 7, then trade  back from 12 to a team that needs QB like Arizona.

[gonzo1105]

Bills stay put at 12 draft BPA. Trade down from 22 to end of round 1 and take Kyle Lauletta. That’s my dark horse prediction

Ok....

 

dark horse prediction, not staying it as fact obviously

 

definitely didn’t see it reported anywhere though

[McBean]

Giants and Broncos both take QB’s.

This would be awesome but it bordering on the fantastical IMO. Rosen at #7 and nobody is dropping to #22 for a second and third rounder.

[KDIGGZ]

My hope/dark horse prediction...

The Bills have absolutely no interest in Josh Allen and it was all a smokescreen. Ryan Nassib says hello

[MiltonWaddams]

-Shaquem Griffin is drafted in the 2nd round

-Mike White is undrafted

[mannc]

Bills trade up to 5 and take Rosen.  Darnold falls to Miami at 11.

[{::'KayCeeS::}]

Well, not exactly a dark horse prediction, but with all this BS about Rosen falling, i predict he's goes in the top five, easy.

[1st&ten]

 

Bills try to trade into the top 6 but everybody wants to crow bar the Bills & won't offer a fair deal. Everyone gets too cute thinking the Bills are desperate for a QB; we trade with Tampa Bay & draft Barkley the best player in the draft. AJ plays great---nobody can stop the 2 headed monster---Shady & Barkley-----Bills win Super Bowl !!!!

If the Broncos trade with another team, it's because the Bills told them "No Thanks!"   Any GM in the league who's considering a trade down proposal from another team would very likely call Buffalo first before agreeing to any deal as they know Buffalo COULD offer the most IF they want to.

i was thinking exactly the same thing

 except the part about Barkley.

The thing about offers is you have to offer things other teams value.

[BillsCelticsAngelsBama]

We end up with Josh Allen Isaiah Oliver, Nick Chubb and Will Richardson. and I win the lottery

Bills-Broncos trade is possible.

 

Broncos might still get a top 10 player in their board from the 12 slot because it is doubtful they have 4 QBs rated that high. 

[H2o]

Darkhorse predictions: 

 

The Pats try like absolute hell to move up and get a QB, but every NFL owner/GM says   you BB and   you Bob Kraft. The reign of terror is almost at an end. 

 

 

[mead107]

Riley Ferguson 

[BubbaT]

Bills trade up and take: Roquan Smith

[Bills Wilk]

Hate to say it....Patriots take Rudolf and he becomes Brady's successful successor. One of the best out of draft

[nickrage]

Barkley goes to the Jets

After Mayfield 1 & Darnold 2. (no trades)

 

[seven&nine]

Saquon Barkley falls to 5 or 6 and some team outside the top of the draft trades up to get him. Don't know I think that will happen but I could see teams targeting him specifically.

[Estro]

- Bears trade up for Saquan Barkley

- Giants take a QB or trade back, nothing else

- Lamar Jackson is still on the board Friday night

- Reading a lot of Josh Rosen may slip, or if one slips it'll be Rosen......won't happen.  Gone by pick #6 at the very latest.

- Baker Mayfield doesn't come close to living up to the expectations of a top 10 pick

- Saquan Barkley is no where near the slam dunk prospect he's made out to be.  Listen to Joe Klatt on the Cowherd show.  He has a lot of interesting stats that go against what you normally hear about Barkley.  I'd predict a couple of lesser know RB's in this draft end up having longer and more productive careers as RB's in the NFL

- Duke Dawson, CB, Florida will be a very good NFL starting CB

- The WR out of Missouri, who apparently has his fair share of off the field baggage, is an absolute stud on the field.  Speed, size, Antonio Brown like quickness and shiftiness in the open field....I think they call it loose hips.  His highlight reel is jaw dropping.

LJ and the Saints are a very intriguing combo.  Life after Brees in 1 or 2 years of Sean Payton grooming Jackson?  

 

That offense would be potent with AK, MI, and LJ as a triple threat in the backfield.  Probably the best hope the Saints have of maintaining their offense after Brees.

[2003Contenders]

All the smoke about the QBs leading up to the draft turns out to be just that, smoke. Only two QBs go in the first 10 picks, Darnold at #1 and Mayfield at #3. The Bills are on the clock at 12 and Bills nation goes insane because Rosen and Allen are still on the board. Instead, the Bills take... Lamar Jackson. 

[Floydboy12]

Bills can't make deal to trade up for QB they want. Nelson slips to them at 12. Has 15 yr HOF career. Bills get their franchise QB next yr in top 5 after 4-12 season.
