mattstev Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 What if everything goes against us and we miss the top 4 qbs or don't want to trade up for the one that's left. If we were not going to take a qb with our first pick this draft, what should we do? Is there anyone else you would trade up for if they were sliding to 8-10, or who would you want to see drafted at 12. I personally would love if Nelson were slipping to move up a couple picks and grab him. I don't think that's likely but there is a decent chance either he or one of the elite lb's (Edmunds, Smith) will fall a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then take Rudolf or Jackson at 22, which ever lasts that long. Still a colossal failure. Edited April 23, 2018 by qwksilver typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattstev Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 lol, you can't make a trade happen though, its possible 4 gone in top 5 and nobody willing to trade. So everyone would just take jackson at 12 then and if he's gone?? I too think it needs to be a franchise QB, but i'm tired of QB posts, what is the back up plan? I would prefer Rudolph at 22 and something else at 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthNYfan Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Did we trade a couple second rounders for Aaron Rodgers? Then I'm okay with it. Then we take a later QB to go behind him and learn. 7 minutes ago, Seanbillsfan2206 said: Then we burn the stadium down I think this is being completely irrational Sean.

I don't think that's likely but there is a decent chance either he or one of the elite lb's (Edmunds, Smith) will fall a bit. Hopefully this doesn't happen. If it does, I'd like to see the Bills trade back as many times as possible for as many 1st round picks in 2019 as possible. I know this won't be a popular idea, but the Bills have a ton of draft capital. Given that each draft pick next year is worth 1 round less than picks from this year, if the Bills traded down in exchange for 2019 draft picks they could do what Cleveland just did and own the draft for the next few years and get a QB next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Then they take the best LB on the board , maybe move up slightly from 22 for a QB. This would be the disaster scenario, but definitely could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt the NYG trade out of 2. With anyone. I'll agree, if the Bills don't get one of the top 4 QB prospects in this draft the plan didn't work. Could something else pan out? Sure, but the plan didn't work initially. There'd be no other way to sum it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Smith and Nelson will be long gone by 12. Not really any game changers past the top 10 or so. Maybe an OT or a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital means squat if no one wants to move where your pick is. Totally agree with this. I also think that the supposed "Top 4 QBs" have been much overhyped. I just read an article that said Darnold looks like a cow on ice when he plays, and you know what? I agree with him! LOL If they don't have a strong conviction on a QB to the threshold of throwing a boat load high drafts picks at a team like the Giants, Broncos or Colts to move up, then they would be doing the franchise a huge disservice by making the move to just appease fans. My hope is that if they do miss out on one of their guys (if it's true they even like one of them), then pick the "home run" "wild card" QB Lamar Jackson at #12. Go big or go home, there's no sense in playing it safe with an average talented QB like Rudolph. Swing for the fences with Jackson, and still have picks #22, #53, #56, #65, #95 to solidify the building process. They have AJ there to start for the whole season, so Jackson will have this season to learn and not be pushed into the starting role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
