I think teams are very much so auctioning off their picks to highest bidder. It is like any other purchase and negotiation, as things got down to the end people will make moves. Their are GM's waiting to see what other teams. Picks 2-6 are in play. Beane is most likely playing one off the other all day today. I think what Chuck means is the Bills have more capital than anyone can match. The question is simply how much are they willing to pay not can they outbid someone else. They absolutely can. Do they want to is the only question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrober38 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Hilarious. The Giants didn't think Darnold would fall, now that he will, they don't want to make the decision between Barkley and Darnold. Easier to trade down and take yourself off the hot seat than a.) pick a bad QB or b.) pick a running back over a QB who turns out to be really good. The case for the Bills moving to #2, the Giants moving to #4 and #22, and the Browns moving to #12 and picking up our 2019 first rounder is starting to make a LOT of sense for everyone if Mayfield goes #1.

If your Buffalo why would you even involve the Giants at this point? Simply trade 12 and 22 to the Browns for #4 and be done with it. Gettleman overplayed his hand and tried to get 3 1st round picks by convincing Buffalo he was going to take Darnold. If I am Beane I tell Gettleman to take a hike at this point and enjoy his runningback at number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have identified the QB they want and they have the draft capital to get him. However, I just don't see this FO giving up more than what they feel is reasonable - and "reasonable" is a relative term at this point. This will be fun. Ultimately, I do think they will select a QB at the top of the draft. I just have to trust they pick the right one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I think the only reason Broncos are leaking interest in QBs is to maximize this return on the 5th pick. It was mayfield forever and now all of a sudden today, when it appears mayfield won’t be there, they like Darnold? Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such an easy selection for the Giants IMO and screws over the Bills. If I were a Giants fan, I would be going insane if they pass over both Darnold and Rosen at #2 or trade the pick away. 1. Mayfield 2. Darnold 3. Rosen 4. Barkley 5. Allen to BUF via trade with DEN Also possible, if Cleveland really does like Josh Allen, is to trade Mayfield to Buffalo for Allen + some large haul of picks.

Sell the Giants on getting the same guy while picking up some residual picks for a Bills overpay and still getting a similar level prospect at 12. IMO the real question is if the Giants want that middle man or if they just want all the picks from the Bills. Absent someone like Denver offering #5 / 2019 1st / other picks, I have to believe we are in the drivers seat for this pick, it's just ironing out the details.

sven233 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Here's what I hope...... 1. The Giants stay put and don't draft a QB or 2. The Giants trade with the Bills and we end up with our guy or 3. This might be the best scenario...... Because of the personal relationship and friendship with Beane, even if they can't come to an agreement on a trade, Gettleman at least tips Beane off as to what they are looking to do. If the Giants let Beane know they will not be trading with anyone else, and will not be taking a QB, then that information is almost as good as a trade. The Bills know they can then do what they need to do to get to 4 and still get one of Mayfield, Darnold, or Rosen. I'm not sure if that personal relationship is good enough to get that information out of Gettleman, but it would sure help provide clarity to Beane as to what he needs to pull off tonight. It would also help to know who the Jets are taking, but that is probably less likely to be able to find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there might be some upset as to the price to move up, but the majority of us will be fine with the price, no matter what it is, to land Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield.

To get to this point, with every pick rumored to be for sale and holding the most capital, to walk out without a legitimate QB prospect would be a disaster.
