billsfan714 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Profootballtalk is reporting Bills want to trade up to 3 to get Kalil.
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Can we now kill both "sources" threads? They're like matter and anti-matter.
BillnutinHouston Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 So yesterday Casserly has the Bills taking Tannehill, now today he has the Bills looking to trade up. Casserly's being spun so hard he must be dizzy by now.
SectionC3 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Profootballtalk is reporting Bills want to trade up to 3 to get Kalil. Totally logical as far as I'm concerned, and I suspect this is the first truthful thing we've heard about our draft plans all week. I think they see the draft as having fewer than 10 top-flight talents, and they feel like they can get the same type of talent a in the mid to late teens as they can at 10. Hence all the recent interest in players who make absolutely no sense for us, i.e., Tannehill and Barron, but who could interest a team looking to trade up with us or ahead of us to grab a guy we don't want and push our target or targets closer to our pick. To the extent we can't move back from 10, and to the extent Kalil is the guy the front office wants, it makes sense to take a shot at moving up to get him.
Jdragon2 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 So let's see. The Bills first wanted to trade down...then they were obsessed with Gilmore ....then they were all about Barron....now they wanna trade up for kalil. Either Buddy Nix is an evil mastermind or everyone finally is paying attention to the bills and no one knows wtf they are gonna do... I'd love to believe both >
Estelle Getty Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 This is why PFT is starting to suck. With their immediate contradictions. They did the same thing during Free agency.
KollegeStudnet Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 This is why PFT is starting to suck. With their immediate contradictions. They did the same thing during Free agency. It's fun to read this time of year, but they lead you on a roller coaster of contradictions and then when draft day does come...the majority of the stories are false
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 But what about this thread? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/144811-sources-bills-looking-to-trade-down/
KD in CA Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Sources that I just pulled out of my ass indicate that I shouldn't have had Mexican food for lunch.

Scare the hell out of 14-18 and make them all think you are taking Barron, which builds value in the #10 pick. Scare the hell out of 6 and make them think you will trade up and get Kalil, which means they may panic, and we get Blackmon. Scare the hell out of 3 and make them think you won't offer more than a 2nd to trade up, which sets the bar too high for anybody else to trade up...per the DRAFT TRADE CHART. "Poison the well"! I am liking this. Buddy is doing maximum damage from his position. Speaking of wells, "Give them nothing. Take from them, everything!" Thwis is Thwparta!
Lurker Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Given that this is sourced from Charlie Casserly, whose ties to Buddy and Chan seem negligible, I tend to doubt it... Edited April 26, 2012 by Lurker

wnyBacker Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 People need to stop being negative about this post....the bills need a left tackle and have proven this off season that they are willing to make moves..is it such a stretch to believe that they would trade up 7 spots
papazoid Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Profootballtalk is reporting Bills want to trade up to 3 to get Kalil. do it !!....right now.....tonight...i'll be hitting refresh til it breaks...
sllib olaffub Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I really, really wanted the Bills to come out of this draft with 3 starters - I though they could manage to get an OLB, a 2nd WR, and either a CB or a OT. If they give up their 2nd pick to move up for Kalil - at least we can just be done with these lines! I mean, what an offensive line we'd have! Kalil, Levitre, Wood, Ubrik, Hairston/Pears. That would be a very good, young line to grow together and it would give Buffalo one of the best Offensive and Defensive lines in football. You can go a ways with good lines - especially with the running backs we have... but then it'd be up to our F.O. to get the WR/OLB/CB with the rest of the picks. I think we could land a WR in the 3rd - or an OLB. Go Buffalo!
JPS Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I feel like Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting... Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen...you don't get it....reTAYYYYYYner.... I can't believe the amount of smoke this year. At least its interesting, I guess.
K-9 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 This. Scare the hell out of 14-18 and make them all think you are taking Barron, which builds value in the #10 pick.

He can teach these young turks a thing or two about a swindlin'. GO BILLS!!!
CherryCoke Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) These "sources" are SO all over the place! its comical Every few hours there is a new "whisper" of who the bills are interested in... Its seems orchestrated by someone in the organization: sources tells WGR that they want Barron or Gilmore...source says Bills will make a surprise pick....casserly report the bills want tannehill....then they want to move up for kalil.. i know its a stretch, but the only position NOT mentioned by a "source" is....WR in fact, the bills have gone out of there way numerous times to point our how deep the WR pool is.... could this be their target? just seems fishy...

bills1960 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I don't think we can blame PFT. They simply post links to what other people are posting. They quoted Casserly in ths particular article, so it's not for them. They're simply the middle men.
