As far as FA goes They probably would have been interested in Cousins and the others got way more money than they are worth and none are guys you woudl want as a franchise guy. They got the guy that is most intriguing to me in McCarron since we don't know what he is. The Browns were willing to trade a 2 and 3 for him half a season ago. They have been acting desperate for a QB when it comes to the draft, that has been since day 1 when Beane took over. They dont say it publicly but its obvious what they were trying to do in the draft. Unfortunately it may not work out for them.

I am not sure he makes it out of the top 3 but if he does I am all for it. At this point we have to assume the draft will go QB QB QB to start. Will one of those be Allen? We have to assume the Jets gave the Giants the same offer and since they obviously turned the Jets down I think you have to assume they are going QB. Or less likely they want better value from the Bills. I don't see them taking Barkley no matter what his shorts workout was. I think the top three will be Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield.

When people say "there is no such thing as a dumb question"......they are lying.

Not only that, it would have been stupid for the Jets to not being making similar offers to the Giants as they struck with the Colts, Giants were not selling. I think the top 3 picks are staying with the teams that have them and there is a good chance they are all going QB.

I dont disagree. But there is still a hole created by his departure.

The Glenn trade tells us they are not targeting Rudolph or Jackson. He was not out the door no matter what. That trade created a hole on the BIlls roster.

Duh. Of course they did. Giants said no

Then we trade for #4 if we can. after they draft him.

Worst nightmare

Eli is old and not that good and this draft class has good qb talent and they happen to have #2nand rebuilding. It is totally reasonable for the giants to take a qb. Lets hope not but how can you not see that. Don’t think for a second the jets did not make the same offer to the giants and they said no.

IF the giants are willing to trade. Why would they not take a qb?

Doing something one time makes it your MO?

Yeah, brain not working today. I guess my point is we dont have a swing tackle right now. I don't have much faith in Connor McDermott. Agree draft one.....

Cant they cut him and "post june first" him?

What happens if Dixon goes down? Who plays LT?

All the holes are not getting filled period. There will be holes going into the season. Some of the holes will get filled with lower end FA's.

If a team offers #6 and next years first to go to three. What would an equivelent or better trade by from Buffalo? #12, #22 and a 2nd? I get we have the ammo required to do it, I get it. But if you are the Colts you may look at things differently that is all I am saying. What the Bills dont have is #6 and that may be what the Colts would want. If next years one is on a team you think is bad that may be a better offer. You are probably right, the Bills should be able to make it happen but the other team has to agree and want that over other teams offers.

So long as the other team agrees.

Not super crazy about the contract but he is a good player at a need postion.

They dont need as much ammo, they only need to go up a couple spots. If the Colts like someone woul will likely be there at 6 but not at 12 they might feel better to do that and not get as many picks but get their target at 6. There are a lot of factors. They also could trade to 6 and then trade back more and end up with all kinds of picks.

As it should be assuming Luck can get healthy. They stand to get a big premium for that pick with multiple teams vying for theirs. The Bills are pretty far away still. I have read teams like the Broncos and Jets may try and trade up. This will be an overpaying situation more than likely

We dont need these details.

I dont think the Browns will pass on a QB at #1. As good a combine as Barkley had, he is an RB...QB's affect W's and L's way more than RB's. RB is the position with the shortest career statistically.

And a couple backup CB's.

This leave the opportunity for other teams to trade up to #2 and #3. Pick #4 with the browns could also be possible but they need to get as high as possible now or they risk not getting their guy. The Jets and Broncos could trade up as could other teams not being considered. They have done all this work to get the draft capital, its not time to cheap out. If they are unable to make a deal and the chips fall right on draft day maybe you make a deal with the Browns at #4 but they would have to get luck.
