Either Mitch is there at #10 and we take him or we are saying the pick is for sale. If no one bites we may take the kid.

If you are really putting the pick up for sale, you have decided otherwise.
PolishDave Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 If you think he is a franchise qb, you take him. If you are really putting the pick up for sale, you have decided otherwise. Tough to argue with your logic.
gr8billsfan Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I think they're trying to trade down to the Browns as someone one of those guys mentioned in the video
teef Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 If you think he is a franchise qb, you take him. If you are really putting the pick up for sale, you have decided otherwise. exactly. i can honestly say i don't even have a guess as to how the bills view this year's qbs. it should be one of the more interesting drafts in a while.
John from Riverside Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 IMO drafing a qb at 10 this year is not my first choice but if the bills do it I will support it
BillsFan17 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Heck,if you can entice someone to trade up and over draft one of these QBs, by all means pull the trigger. I want as many picks ad possible in this draft.
PolishDave Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I think they're trying to trade down to the Browns as someone one of those guys mentioned in the video If the Bills were willing to trade down 2 spots, that would imply they don't want Trubisky because a lot of people expect the Browns to take him at 12. The only reason the Browns would make that trade is if they thought Buffalo was going to take Trubisky, Therefore that trade doesn't make sense unless the Bills know (with confidence) that the Browns don't want Trubisky. Otherwise the trade is a catch 22.
billsredneck1 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) exactly. i can honestly say i don't even have a guess as to how the bills view this year's qbs. it should be one of the more interesting drafts in a while. i can't wait! i just think the bills will have a coach who may have more of a say in the draft than in the past. so far i'm happy with all the things they have been doing and i have not been a big whaley fan. so far though, i'm pretty impressed, and to me it appears that they have been/are setting themselves up for all possible scenarios. i think that somehow this will be the best draft this team has had in quite some time. at least, i'm not expecting any boneheaded trade up moves and i think they will maximize their picks. this is definitely the year to do it.

Original Byrd Man Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 i can't wait! i just think the bills will have a coach who may have more of a say in the draft than in the past. so far i'm happy with all the things they have been doing and i have not been a big whaley fan. so far though, i'm pretty impressed, and to me it appears that they have been/are setting themselves up for all possible scenarios. i think that somehow this will be the best draft this team has had in quite some time. at least, i'm not expecting any boneheaded trade up moves and i think they will maximize their picks. this is definitely the year to do it. How is it you don't think previous coaches have had a say in the draft? The Shaq Lawson pick I'm pretty sure was Rex's call, and before that Chan said he wanted a "scat back" and we took Spiller.
PolishDave Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Not quite. Browns could trade up to 10 to take MT or another QB because they are afraid AZ or another team will trade up to 10 and do so. Good point. Could be a factor.
Cripple Creek Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Not quite. Browns could trade up to 10 to take MT or another QB because they are afraid AZ or another team will trade up to 10 and do so. Exactly. Can someone remind me how much time teams have to make their first round pick? Is it 10 minutes?
stuvian Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 that panel is more painful to watch than the View
DefenseWins Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 I still think there is a good chance that Cleveland works out a trade with N.E. for Garafolo... But if not and if the Bills like Watson/Mahomes as much as or more than Trubisky then trading down with Cleveland for say a 3rd might make sense but how far down could they trade down to assuming they want to walk away with one of the 3 QB's talked about here? All 3 could disappear off the board very quickly. So while the extra pick would be nice, I'd rather just pull the trigger at #10 on whomever they think their franchise QB to be is and be done with it...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Exactly. Can someone remind me how much time teams have to make their first round pick? Is it 10 minutes? During the draft, one team is always on the clock. In round one, teams have 15 minutes to make their choice. source: http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/nfl-draft2.htm

Otherwise the trade is a catch 22. This is why I think Pegula himself got involved in working out Trubisky, to worry Cleveland. Same reason Whaley is supposedly in love with Watson. We want to trade back and a qb hungry team needs to think we might take their man. Buddy Nix used to call this the lying season. If I was Cordy Glenn I'd still be pissed at Nix for spreading the word that many scouts agreed Glenn was only good enough to play guard in the NFL. It wasn't true obviously, but he fell all the way to us in the 2nd and we got a stud LT.

The only people who didn't know that Glenn could play tackle were people that didn't go to the Senior Bowl or read the reports from it. Cordy Glenn played left tackle at the Senior Bowl and dominated the best D linemen in the country. Nix didn't fool anyone.
