JinxedBill1 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 I saw that earlier today, pretty funny to me.

No way we were thinking we would need to move to 2 to get Allen. If that is true, I wonder who it is that we really wanted? For all we know, "our guy" that everyone wanted us to move the world for was Baker Mayfield. When Cleveland took him first somewhat surprisingly, our entire draft shifted to a contingency plan. Entirely possible. Expand Lance Zierlein was saying the morning of the draft that if Buffalo traded up to 2, it would be for Allen.

Expand Well I'm glad Gettleman didn't take the deal then. I can live with Allen at 7 and then Edmunds with a trade up from 22. But had we traded up to 2, no Edmunds and no 2nd round picks this year and perhaps a 1st next year off the table I would not be able to live with that for Allen.

The press conference where he argued that RBs should be drafted high was embarrassing. Poor Giants fans. 1

That would make sense, as you have 3 QBs to choose from. The Colts pick at 3 might not offer that, plus the Jets paid the ransom anyway.

TigerJ Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Beane wanted to keep his second pick in the first round, so a trade with the Giants was never going to happen, Still, calling to find out Gettleman's price was part of the due diligence he neded to do.

Dadonkadonk Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Once Mayfield went #1, there was no need to trade to #2. The Giants were taking Barkely or Darnold, leaving the Jets Darnold or Rosen. The Bills were taking Allen all the way.
Coach Tuesday Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 The real question is which QB Beane was willing to pay 3 firsts for - would it have been Allen or Darnold?
