NewEraBills Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The only thing that would switch things up is if Josh Allen is the Browns guy. I think they take Chubb or Barkley then take Allen at 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I can't shake the feeling we're trading up to #2 and selecting Mayfield. Just have to make sure the Browns take Darnold first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t figure out why the Browns wouldn’t have come out and announced who their guy is other than there has been a big offer made and they want to keep their options open right up until they are on the clock. I agree something could happen at #1. As to why the Browns haven't announced, I think in many drafts it isn't until the day or two before the draft that word leaks about the #1 overall pick. I'm expecting that we'll hear sometime today that the Browns will take X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the Jets really do love Mayfield and that's why they moved up to #3.....then the Bills leapfrog the Jets at #2 to take Mayfield. They would be sooooooooooooooooo mad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to make sure the Browns take Darnold first. I'd love it. I think it's impossible. As I've said, I don't think the Giants are trading out of 2, but if they are, it's because they don't want a QB. The safe trade for them is with the Jets. If the Giants tell the Jets the Giants are trading out, the Jets can't afford to sit at 3. The Jets don't have a second round pick, so the Giants probably could pry the Jets' 2019 first round pick out of them. That's a much better trade for the Giants, because they still get the best non-QB in the draft AND they get an extra first rounder next year. In terms of pure draft value, the Bills have capital to deal with. They could offer, as was rumored, two first rounders this year and one next year, a really hefty price to pay, as far as the Bills are concerned. But that deal leaves the Giants outside the top 10, and I doubt they want that. So for the Bills to get to #2, I think they need a three-way deal with the Browns. The Browns might be willing to move back to 12 and 22 in exchange for #4, and the Giants might be willing to move back from #2 to #4 in exchange for the Bills first rounder next year. That still leaves the Giants in position to take the first non-QB. The Giants' risk in that deal is that the Browns and Bills take the two QBs the Jets want, so at 3 the Jets decide not go QB.

TigerJ Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I said weeks ago, shortly after the Jets trade, that any trade involving Buffalo at the top of the draft would not happen until draft night. His desire to hold on to draft capital would seem to preclude going all the way up to #2, even though there's been some buzz about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The Browns are keeping everything secret, because it may give them an advantage at #4. Instead of letting teams plan around them weeks before the draft, they can watch the mad scramble on Thursday night (probably for quarterbacks) and then take their choice of non-QB options when the smoke clears. I think the Bills have several different QB targets. Which one they get will be totally dependent on how the draft board falls, and how much teams are asking in a trade. It's possible a trade with the Giants is still on the table. But it totally depends on who the Browns take, and whether New York is even willing to move out at that point. If our top 1-2 guys are gone, I think we start talking to the Broncos at #5 and then work our way down. At some point, I think one of those teams will work a deal. But if by chance we get shutout, I think Beane will just use his picks on other positions and target someone later in the draft like Mason Rudolph or Kyle Lauletta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: And this makes perfect sense. They probably have 1 guy they are sold on to move up to #2 for if he is there. If not then I expect them to wait on the Jets to take their guy. After that it is a Libra Scale of risk/reward for what we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkirchofer Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Can we get to tomorrow night already? When was the last time we went into a draft not knowing who the number one overall pick will be? I also feel the Browns trade out of either No. 1 or No. 4, they can't afford the fifth year option on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I think this is big news actually. By admitting they are not trading up prior to the draft means a move to pick 2 is unlikely. We have heard from many sources that Giants won't trade all the way back to 12 and miss out on the top guys. I always thought we would have to move up to pick 4-7 prior to the Giants being on the clock for our trade offer to be attractive to them. I think they will be picking a player at 2. They could accept our trade then trade back up but that is risky if the other team backs out so it seems highly unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps the Giants in the top 5 along with another nice pick somewhere, gives the Browns or Broncos some nice picks and moves the Bills up. Not beyond the realm of possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
