K D Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Mike Rodent reports that Beane has no intention of trading up and will pick at 21 and 22. http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/31327/bills-still-in-quarterback-purgatory-could-punt-big-changes-to-2019 Edited March 7, 2018 by kdiggz 1 3
BringBackOrton Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Obvious smokescreen. Why would you drive the price up? 5
Coach Tuesday Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Beane should pay attention to what got the last guy fired. Find a QB or be out in two years. Maybe he’s still hoping to swing a trade for Foles. 3
MrEpsYtown Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Key word is intent. He might not intend to, but if the right offer comes along he'd consider it. 4 1
Zebrastripes Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 There is zero chance any gm in the NFL is going to come out and tell anyone what his draft strategy is. That would just be plain stupid and drive the price up on a trade up. 6
GunnerBill Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 He actually says he isn't predetermined he has to do one thing at this stage and of course he has to say "I'm comfortable at 21 and 22" because if he says "I'm desperate to get into the top 5 or else we are screwed" he does the selling team's job for them. 1 1
Roundybout Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 This is a complete non story. He is saying that he is happy to stay put if that's how the draft goes. 2
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Such a smokescreen. He's already said that Rosen will be one of the 30 players the Bills will bring in for a visit. Why waste that slot on a player who will be drafted top 5-10 if you aren't considering moving up
YoloinOhio Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 As if he would tell Rodak his draft plans on March 7. 2 6

Why waste that slot on a player who will be drafted top 5-10 if you aren't considering moving up It also sounds like he was a little enthused with his answer about Rosen coming in. "Oh yeah" sounds a little better than just "yes".
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Just now, Royale with Cheese said: It also sounds like he was a little enthused with his answer about Rosen coming in. "Oh yeah" sounds a little better than just "yes". Very true as well!

Kirby Jackson Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I’m not even sure it’s a smokescreen as it is a non-story. A smokescreen would be designed to deceive teams. Are there any teams out there that honestly think that the Bills wouldn’t like one of the top QBs? Of course not, it doesn’t matter what he says.

This better be a smoke screen or I'm done with this team http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/31327/bills-still-in-quarterback-purgatory-could-punt-big-changes-to-2019 does anyone really believe he would tell anyone he was not going to move up? stock piling picks, with two firsts would make one assume/speculate he had some serious plans to use them. waiting for a QB to drop in their lap does not seem like an aggressive move, something beane has been since coming aboard, pretty aggressive.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Clickbait- could’ve just as easily said all options are on the table, to express the same thing he was trying to communicate
thenorthremembers Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 They arent spending tons of time with guys like Rosen, Mayfield, and Darnold if their intent is to stay at 21. My mind would be blown if they dont trade up. Guys like Beane and McDermott, who are intentional about everything they do, have to know they will be out the door in three years if they don't fix the QB situation as soon as possible. Waiting until next year would be a horrible choice.
