Could Bills Trade Up To #1 For Pass Rusher? Picks and Rousseau For #1?

The #1 overall pick will not be a QB for only the 4th time since 2010 (Myles Garrett-'17, Jadaveon Clowney-'14 and Eric Fisher-'13). Aidan Hutchinson seems to be at the top of many draft boards.

 

A big need for the Bills is still a 10+ sack/year pass rusher. Would a package consisting of the Bills' 1st and 2nd round draft picks in '22 plus Greg Rousseau land them the #1 pick? Would you do it if you were the Bills? What if you were the Jaguars? 

 

My thought here is that the Bills have 3 young DEs that could all be decent players but maybe not elite. Rousseau probably has the most potential. Hutchinson seems more of a sure thing. If you're the Jags, you get a player and 2 good picks. Plug in Hutchinson, maybe Epenesa and/or Basham work out, bring in a vet DE to be a rotational guy. 

 

If you're the Jags and this isn't enough, what more do you think they would ask for? If you're the Bills, what more would you be willing to give up? Maybe the Bills have to throw in a 2 or 3 in '23.

 

The #1 pick is going to take a lot more....like a lot.  Like 3 first rounders.

And I thought my takes were stupid after my 3rd Vodka and Tea pre-game...

I'm a huge Michigan fan and love Hutchinson.  I believe he will be a great pro.  That said, he's unproven at the NFL level and you never know for certain how a college player will perform at the next level.  Over time, Rousseau may end up being the better player.  I would not make this trade.  Further, as mentioned above, it might actually cost more than this to move up to #1.  I'd only make this kind of major trade to move up the board for a franchise QB, and even then, there's no guarantee of the drafted player's NFL success.

i follow Michigan a bit and I agree. I think Groot is probably going to end up being better honestly.

OMG

Nope. We need a corner. Give me Kaiir Elam or Andrew Booth Jr at #25 and call it a day. The draft is so deep there that I think we can obtain a quality starter there no problem. I also think that Boogie and Groot are good enough to get it done.

[Buffalo Junction]

More likely that Beane gets a vet like Za’Darius Smith for a pick. Can’t possibly see him trading Groot

[Big Turk]

There is no way they are trading Rousseau, a guy who is extremely raw and didn't play football the year before the draft.

 

His upside is massive and he will only get better.

Most confusing poll I ever saw

[Mr. WEO]

lol---a late round 1, 2 and Rousseau for the #1 pick in the draft...

 

 

[LABILLBACKER]

Only trade a 1st round pick for proven talent. And if it's for a pass rusher, please strive for someone greater and younger than Addison or Murphy.

The hypothetical trade threads may be the worst thing that happens here. It’s ahead of clubbing baby seals, I will admit that. I wish it wasn’t so close on the list.

There is a valid argument that without a consensus QB at #1, it won't cost as much to trade up to the first pick.

 

BUT, why you would trade Rousseau plus very valuable assets for someone who MIGHT, at best, be 10% better than Rousseau, is beyond me. 

[JaCrispy]

You don’t even need the #1 pick...there will be better pass rushers than Rousseau in the teens...👍
