That does not sound/look good.

If we can't trade up for one of the top QBs in this draft, I would not be surprised if the Bills traded down again this year to gain another first round pick for next year to give them flexibility to draft a QB for next year.

Can't blame Beane if Indy was only comfortable going to 6 and no lower. Cleveland's pick at 4 could be in play depending how the picks play out, but we need to watch out for Denver at 5 or potentially with a trade up to 4.

Jets will not look good if the Giants trade out of the second pick and the team that makes the trade selects the QB the Jets wanted. Must be that they are fine with any of the top three QBs (Darnold, Rosen and Allen?) or have a firm understanding that the Giants will not be trading the pick.

If the Giants are taking a QB, and the Browns and Jets intend to take QBs as well, then we will not be moving up for a QB in this draft. In that case, I bet we end up making sure we that we can get Roquan Smith.

I assume this is to draft Rosen, but who knows.

According to Ian Rapoport.

I think one of the big questions now is whether the Browns are taking a QB (and not taking Barkley) after signing Hyde as a free agent. If the answer is yes, I wonder how this impacts the thinking of the Bills FO, particularly if they were most interested in Darnold. It must be that the Bills like more than one of the QBs coming out or they would not be moving up in this way (unless they are somehow sure that their guy will be there).

Something here is definitely weird. Trading away your starting QB makes no sense unless there is a plan in place for this replacement. I get it that we wanted to replace Taylor and that the plan may be to trade up for one of the top QBs in the draft, but I highly doubt the goal is to have the newly drafted QB immediately start. I also don't believe that the Bills think that Peterman is the answer as the short-term starter or long-term back-up. Some additional step is needed here.

Would not cost us any compensatory picks to re-sign our own guy.

I have a feeling he will be gone soon, particularly since it seems they tried to trade him before the trading deadline last season. I would like to see him stay, more so if we are planning to play a rookie QB (whether at RT or LT).

Before trading up to get Rosen, I would hope that the Bills would go through whatever back channels would be necessary (such as his agent) to make sure that he would be willing to play in Buffalo.

I am wondering how active we are going to be this free agency period given the apparent preference to sign players that will not count towards the draft pick compensation formula. I would not be surprised if there were very few free agent signings of players with expiring contracts and I am not expecting any big splashes in light of our significant needs and relatively limited amount of cap space.

Interesting that King has the Bills ending up with Rosen. I wonder if he has any contacts on the team and whether the Bills really do like Rosen.

Do we know if Rosen will want to play for the Bills? Seems like he had issues with the Browns.

Does this mean teams can start talking to him now?

I want the Bills to use the picks that they have in the draft. They need quality starters, and with four picks in the first two rounds, we have the potential to get some good, young players and fill needs. Having said that, I do understand trading up for a QB that they believe will be a long-term answer to our long-standing QB need, particularly since we will have our QB cost controlled for at least a few years and we will have a huge amount of cap space in 2019 to add quality free agents and fill holes.

Seems to have an impressive resume as a WR coach.

I tried to find information on Jimmy Robinson and the only information that popped up on Google was for a retired WR coach (Giants, Pack and Cowboys). Was this the guy interviewed?

Teams understand that we will need to cut him so that we do not have to pay his March bonus. They will be patient and wait for that to happen before pursuing him.

I don't think the Pats defense has a lot of talented players. Thought he did a good job under the circumstances during the season, for the most part.

Just a feeling that it will be someone like Bradford if he is available. He would compete with Peterman for the starting QB position. Hoping that this is not where things end up.

If Gaines leaves, we may be drafting a CB with one of our top four picks. People will not be happy if the first four picks look something like DT, LB, CB and LB, but I think it is a real possibility depending on what we do in free agency.

I am wondering if the Bills trade up to draft a linebacker (Roquan Smith from Georgia?). Probably does not mean much, but I thought Allen looked great at the Senior Bowl game. Would not be upset if we used one of our first round pick on him if he was still there (which very likely he will not be).

It certainly would be better in terms of the salary cap if the Bills can find a QB in the draft who will be cost controlled for a number of years rather than making Cousins the highest paid QB in the league. Kind of shocking how much Smith is going to get paid and the portion that will be guaranteed.
