This is great wheelin' and dealin'.
When the Bills made the trade up to 12 and got the third for Tyrod, I was excited...but this week I was just waiting for them to do something Billsy and trade a few of those draft picks for Foles or another QB under contract, thereby wasting picks. Instead, they play it perfectly: wait for McCarron to slip through the cracks and sign him for cheap.
Perfect QB for the situation. Even better price. Great pedigree and some real untapped talent. He's at least as potentially good as Foles or Keenum.
Guys, this off-season has been a solid A so far:
The 1st pick in the 3rd round for Tyrod
Moving up to 12 for Cordy Glenn
Star and Murphy become instant starters
decent depth with the safety, LB, and DE signing
Now McCarron
If Star and Murphy give us half of what Poyer and Hyde did last year, those signings are a home run.
If for some reason, we don't get the right price for trading up, we still have a plethora of picks to build the team around McCarron.
...But yeah, let's go get Rosen or Darnold!
Bravo to Beane and the FO. These guys are doing WORK.
