Logical Trade Down


RPbillsfan

Recommended Posts

There is a lot of talk of a team like the Redskins trading up possibly with the Bills to get the QB of their choice.

 

I'm thinking the QB market goes like this:

 

Foles to Jacksonville 

Bridgewater to Miami

Flacco to Miami

Tannehill to Washington

Haskins to NY Giants

Lock to Denver

 

With this a very possible scenario, I see the trade up being with Atlanta going up for a DT.

 

Here is my first picks thru the Buffalo trade down

 

Arizona - Nick Bosa

San Francisco - Josh Allen

NY Jets - Quentin Williams

Oakland - Clelin Ferrell

Tampa Bay - Greedy Williams

NY Giants - Dwayne Haskins

Jacksonville - Ed Oliver

Detroit - Devin White

Atlanta - Christian Wilkins

Denver - Drew Lock

Cincinnati - Kyler Murray

Green Bay - Deonte Thompson

Miami - Dexter Lawrence

Buffalo - Dalton Risner

 

Bills trade from 9 to 14

 

get Falcons 3rd and 4th

 

Bills get a versatile guy with great leadership and position flexibility.  Will allow the hopeful addition of T Darryl Williams to play RT and maybe a Quentin Spain or Reuben Foster to play G and keeping Jeff Boline for depth.

 

Starting offensive line

 

Dawkins Teller Risner Foster Williams, depth before round 2 of the draft is Bodine and Bottenger and possible Jordan Mills as swing T.

 

Hopefully Bills look at WR in round 2, either Hakeem Butler, Deebo Samuels or DK Metcalf

 

Round 3 - Picks 74 & 79

Round 4 - Picks 105, 110, 124

Round 5 - Picks 136 147

 

Of course picks 4th and later are affected by added compensatory choices to be determined.

 

I would consider possibly trading both 3rds to move up in 2nd if Iowa TE Hockenson is available

 

This also assumes we resign Jordan Phillips and add a WR in FA

I like the idea of trading down and there could be some opportunities to do so. Ideally, I'd like to move to about the middle of the first round and draft Hockenson. To me he is a tremendous fit and a position of need. Hockenson is a relentless blocker and could help the run game on the edge. He is also an excellent pass catcher. Because he is so versatile and his demeanor/character seems to be top notch, I would expect him to be drafted by some team in the middle of the first. Getting a game breaker like a Kelce/Kittle can make a huge difference for an offense and a young quarterback.

I just don't see anyone trading up for anything but a QB this year.   There are lots of great DT's in the draft, it wouldn't make sense to give up so much and draft a guy that might land in your lap anyway.

 

Your scenario is interesting though.

 

The key to getting a trade back is having a qb needy team think the team behind you is going to take a QB.  In our case that's Denver, which is good.

 

Look at what the Colts and Tampa got in their tradebacks last year.  Huge value for just moving a handful of spots, and they still got the guys the wanted (Quentin Nelson and Vita Vea)

In a DT heavy class, Atlanta would need to love the guy to move up.  There are so many options at that position in this draft.  I do think we could find a team to trade with us however.  Adding more picks early should be Brandon Beane's goal.  The trade down is a great option and we happen to be in a spot that could be easily tradable.

I would hope a team that has a QB need ahead of Minnesota comes up and we can do a trade down. A QB does allow a greater return on the trade down package.  The problem I see is there are enough QB's to fill the holes and honestly Dolphins may keep RT and live with an awful season and get one of the top QB's in 2020 draft even lessening our chances to get a trade down.

 

I think we have to stay in front of Vikings to draft Risner.

I think it will cost 2nd and 4th for that trade.  Itcost us 2 Second rouders last year to move up to 7.  They would only be moving up to 9 but its still in the top 10.  I dont see Beane moving out of the top 10 for an additional 3 and 4.  I thnk he wants an additional 2nd for a possibility to move back into the first.

I think the Jets are the likeliest candidate to move down.  They won't be in the market for a QB, they desperately need offensive help, and they will be looking to recoup the second round pick they traded to Indy last year.

Yeah you don't move out of the top 10 for 3rd and 4th rounders.  A move from 9 to 14 would need at least a second rounder maybe 2.

Yeah that sounds about right.  Like Beaner said,  it's SO nice to not have to worry about getting a QB, unless you're picking 1 or 2 you have to bend over and overpay badly to get into the mix.

 

We're going to end up with at least 11 picks this year, I can feel it.   It's the perfect draft class to hit a home run.   

We could literally draft an entire offense or defense with that many picks.

The Denver scenario is what has me hopeful, but if Murray and Haskins go before 9 with no trade ups, are there any QBs left worth trading up with us before Denver? Even Denver might trade up if they feel the Giants or Jax will go for either, depending on how they come out of FA. It's an especially hard year to gauge that scenario just by the nature of the draft class, not that it's easy to do so any year, but given the QB class versus the class talent by position it's just that much hard to estimate. 

 

I would love a trade back scenario as it would likely open the door for more offensive value to become BPA in the late first early second. But if there's a guy we value as BPA at 9 and don't get a better offer, look for Beane to go BPA. 

 

As far as OP mentions with the starting line, I'm more and more willing to entertain Dawkins moving to the interior. I like the idea of Risner as well. I'm not sure D. Williams could seal the LT, but I'd imagine something along the lines of Williams/Dawkins/Paradis,Morse,Kalil/Teller/Risner. Wildcard FAs like Glowinski, JuWann James, or others come into play for a mix up. But assuming we're able to land 1-2 of the above, one of which capable of holding the left edge, I would really like to see what Dawkins can do from the interior as I think we've had Richie's replacement all along. Teller may develop into this role, but for now his ceiling is still unknown and development dependent.

 

There's a million ways to address the OL hypothetically, but FA will ultimately determine who stays and goes. But should we trade back, depending on with whom and what we get back, I could see Risner making his way over here and addressing a skill position with the next pick (WR/TE). But should they stay, I could see BPA value at DL.

I honestly think we walk away making 6 or 7 picks is all.  I think we end up moving up a couple times and possibly push a pick into next year.

I think, if we do trade down, it’ll be with Washington so they can get their QB.

 

Oakland is actually a dark horse for a big trade up, I think. I doubt they take a QB at 4, but if someone is sitting at the end of the 8 that they want and they’re afraid Denver will take, I could see Gruden going for it.

The draft value chart shows the 9th pick at 1350 points, the 14th pick at 1100 points, Atlanta's choice in the 2nd round is worth 400 points.  The Bills in a deep draft could do very well with 5 picks total in rounds 3 & 4 and could dangle some of them to move back up into the 2nd round

Honestly one scenario I can see is a Dawkins move inside to guard.  Then we would need two tackles in FA, still start Teller and draft Risner at play C with Bodine and Botteger as depth

I like this idea as well.  Hockenson is a very good blocker and a pretty good/reliable receiver.  Addresses pass catching and helps OL with one player.

It's the two tackle part that gets me - I think the move inside becomes more likely if we get a tackle in FA and draft a guy like Risner who could play RT. But for edge consideration, it might make more sense to have the experience on the edges at first, unless a young guy like Risner or whoever that might be, can anchor the edge well out the gate. If we can land a Center and Tackle (hopeful) in FA, I wouldn't mind seeing something like FA/Dawkins/Bodine or FA/Teller/Risner or Draft Pick.

 

I really just want to see one play where we pull both Teller and Dawkins and just tell them to go pancaking...just see what happens to those LBs at the next level.

I'm thinking the QB market goes like this:

 

Foles to Jacksonville 

Bridgewater to Miami

Flacco to Miami

Tannehill to Washington

Haskins to NY Giants

Lock to Denver

 

With this a very possible scenario, I see the trade up being with Atlanta going up for a DT.

 

Here is my first picks thru the Buffalo trade down

 

Arizona - Nick Bosa

San Francisco - Josh Allen

NY Jets - Quentin Williams

Oakland - Clelin Ferrell

Tampa Bay - Greedy Williams

NY Giants - Dwayne Haskins

Jacksonville - Ed Oliver

Detroit - Devin White

Atlanta - Christian Wilkins

Denver - Drew Lock

Cincinnati - Kyler Murray

Green Bay - Deonte Thompson

Miami - Dexter Lawrence

Buffalo - Dalton Risner

 

Bills trade from 9 to 14

 

get Falcons 3rd and 4th

 

Bills get a versatile guy with great leadership and position flexibility.  Will allow the hopeful addition of T Darryl Williams to play RT and maybe a Quentin Spain or Reuben Foster to play G and keeping Jeff Boline for depth.

 

Starting offensive line

 

Dawkins Teller Risner Foster Williams, depth before round 2 of the draft is Bodine and Bottenger and possible Jordan Mills as swing T.

 

Hopefully Bills look at WR in round 2, either Hakeem Butler, Deebo Samuels or DK Metcalf

 

Round 3 - Picks 74 & 79

Round 4 - Picks 105, 110, 124

Round 5 - Picks 136 147

 

Of course picks 4th and later are affected by added compensatory choices to be determined.

 

I would consider possibly trading both 3rds to move up in 2nd if Iowa TE Hockenson is available

 

This also assumes we resign Jordan Phillips and add a WR in FA

 

 

looks good but Risner isnt going that high . More likely to get Metcalf or Hockenson at that spot and Risner in the second.

I like it. I would do that. But Dalton Risner over Jonah Williams? 

Jonah Williams may be a high level guard at the NFL level, not built to play tackle.  Risner has greater position flexibility.

I’d prefer to try and trade down again from 14 to low 20s and hope to snag Risner there.  The extra pick will allow us to grab our TE, RB and WR of the future.

Jacksonville is in cap hell, they aren't signing Foles.

 

Flacco and Bridgewater aren't both going to Miami.

 

If you follow the coaching dominoes with QBs, it wouldn't be shocking to see:

 

Tannehill - Cincy - Zac Taylor was with Tannehill in Miami the first 4 years of his career.

 

Andy Dalton - Washington - With Alex Smith's status very doubtful, Jay Gruden knows Dalton from their time together in Cincy

 

Miami - A true wildcard, they could go QB early, they could bring Bridgewater to his hometown, or they could bring in Foles, a guy Brian Flores saw perform very well in the SB.

 

Flacco - maybe he takes 1 year make good deal in Jacksonville?  Like I said, the Jags cap situation is ugly, they may be forced into keeping Bortles and drafting a QB high.

Great feedback

 

I didn't know the connection to Tannehill with the new Bengal HC.

 

Jacksonville could be forced to either trade up ahead of the Giants or get 2nd QB drafted.

 

See 3 or maybe 4 in first round, Haskins, Lock, Jones with Murray the wildcard.

 

Foles may stay in Philly with all things considered and it's possible Bridgewater goes to Miami.

 

Could see Dalton in Washington and that leaves Flacco.  Where does he go when all the cards are shuffled?

 

In any case to me a team coming up from behind us to get a QB is a very slight possibility.

 

Broncos, Redskins and Dolphins all have established QB's and I assume Jones and Murray will still be their when they draft.

  jacksonville  trade for carr . they cut a couple of high priced defensive guys....offer future picks and or move a ways down in the 1st rd.

 

  flacco goes to washington.  redskins take a project qb later.

 

  tannehil stays in miami...maybe they would rather use the picks to build around him. maybe they bring over bortles.

 

 dalton stays in cincy but, cincy tries to be a player for lock or jones.

 

  foles goes to denver.  don't see him in his current division or the nfc.

 

  oakland rides  with  a.j. mccarron.      maybe bring in brigewater. i think gruden will want to take a couple of years to build from the inside out.

I think the Carr to Jacksonville may be possible but with their hideous cap situation I honestly can't see it.

 

The Carr contract is done, the Raiders can live with him and start to build their team with all the draft capital they have.

 

Bills must be major players in free agency on the offensive side of the ball to set-up the draft

The draft value chart shows the 9th pick at 1350 points, the 14th pick at 1100 points, Atlanta's choice in the 2nd round is worth 400 points.  The Bills in a deep draft could do very well with 5 picks total in rounds 3 & 4 and could dangle some of them to move back up into the 2nd round.

The draft value chart pretty much got blown up last year.  It's still a guideline that they seemed to use outside of the top of the draft.  But remember the Jets paid 3 second rounders to move up and pick Darnold.  That was extream over payment and the Giants were supposedly asking for the farm from Buffalo.  I can't see them trading out of the top 10 for 3rd and 4th rounders.  Tampa went from 7th to 12th for 2 second rounders, which everyone was saying is market value.

There is a lot of talk of a team like the Redskins trading up possibly with the Bills to get the QB of their choice.

 

I'm thinking the QB market goes like this:

 

Foles to Jacksonville 

Bridgewater to Miami

Flacco to Miami

Tannehill to Washington

Haskins to NY Giants

Lock to Denver

 

With this a very possible scenario, I see the trade up being with Atlanta going up for a DT.

 

Here is my first picks thru the Buffalo trade down

 

Arizona - Nick Bosa

San Francisco - Josh Allen

NY Jets - Quentin Williams

Oakland - Clelin Ferrell

Tampa Bay - Greedy Williams

NY Giants - Dwayne Haskins

Jacksonville - Ed Oliver

Detroit - Devin White

Atlanta - Christian Wilkins

Denver - Drew Lock

Cincinnati - Kyler Murray

Green Bay - Deonte Thompson

Miami - Dexter Lawrence

Buffalo - Dalton Risner

 

Bills trade from 9 to 14

 

get Falcons 3rd and 4th

 

Bills get a versatile guy with great leadership and position flexibility.  Will allow the hopeful addition of T Darryl Williams to play RT and maybe a Quentin Spain or Reuben Foster to play G and keeping Jeff Boline for depth.

 

Starting offensive line

 

Dawkins Teller Risner Foster Williams, depth before round 2 of the draft is Bodine and Bottenger and possible Jordan Mills as swing T.

 

Hopefully Bills look at WR in round 2, either Hakeem Butler, Deebo Samuels or DK Metcalf

 

Round 3 - Picks 74 & 79

Round 4 - Picks 105, 110, 124

Round 5 - Picks 136 147

 

Of course picks 4th and later are affected by added compensatory choices to be determined.

 

I would consider possibly trading both 3rds to move up in 2nd if Iowa TE Hockenson is available

 

This also assumes we resign Jordan Phillips and add a WR in FA

 

I would love to get Risner in the 1st and Samuels in the 2nd. I don't think he will make it though. I could see Oakland grabbing him with one of their picks

nice effort. my two bits:

 

Daniel Jones (QB) will go in the top 14.

Rashaan Gary will also go in the top 14.

While I like Risner, I think #14 is too high for him. I would rather have Jawaan Taylor or Cody Ford at #14.

Jacksonville is already in cap hell. How do they afford Foles? In other words, they have to make some moves, restructure things etc. before even thinking about getting Foles.

 

Notwithstanding the above, I do agree we will trade down albeit because of a team wanting a QB, not DL - there are just so many good ones (DL) in this draft.

And for that matter, who is Quentin Williams?

Just a weird pet peeve of mine lol.  I can’t take people and their mocks serious if they don’t even know the players names.  Throws all their credibility out the window.

My favorite is the guys who insist that that “Mahommes” guy wouldn’t be any good if we had drafted him.
