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. Your mind would be blown?? It’s definitely a real possibility....
Gugny Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Asking a GM what his intentions are before the draft is like asking an offensive coordinator to take a look at the playbook before the Super Bowl. Why do they pay people to write this crap? 1 1
Kirby Jackson Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 1 minute ago, NoSaint said: Essentially verbatim what I was about to type before seeing your post I was thinking about it earlier and it would probably be more effective if he took the exact opposite approach. “We really like Josh Rosen and are going to do everything that we can to go up and get him.” Then try to quietly cut a deal to do exactly that. He should be a double secret agent.
ghostwriter Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 What I take from this is, he isn't going to trade the farm to Indy or the Giants, but I think if a top 3 QB falls to 10, I have a hard time believing he doesn't move up. If Darnold is there at 10 I'm going to break my TV if we don't go up.

I have spent the entire last year of my life thinking they got that extra first to try and move up for someone in this years draft. Given the manner in which these guys work I have every expectation that they are always way ahead in their thought process.

If Darnold is there at 10 I'm going to break my TV if we don't go up. If I recall, the 2 #1 picks get them to the 7 range. So if one of the too 4 falls, they can move up and keep the rest their draft picks. 1
mjt328 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Brandon Beane needs to follow in the footsteps of the great Buddy Nix. First, cut every veteran Quarterback on the roster and leave yourself with nothing. Second, convey absolute desperation at every opportunity to say how bad you need to draft a 1st Round Quarterback before retiring. Third, overdraft your prospect out of the worst QB class in decades. 1 1
Royale with Cheese Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Would Beane be willing to take a lie detector test? Only one person can beat a lie detector and that man is George Costanza. 2

Yeah, Ok. First, why would BB ever tell anyone what he plans to do? Two, IF the Bills don't move, it's likely because no team wanted to trade OR the price was too high. Three, you clearly have player(s) you want. What are you willing to give up? For me, there isn't a player that it's worth mortgaging a truck load of picks.

What if the rumors are true and Philly does accept our 2nd round pick for Foles. Then we can use both 21 and 22 to build around Foles. You have to wait and see how everything plays out... You can't go into a draft with a set mind. You have to be prepared to adjust plan based off free agency, trades, how players are coming off the board, and you have to be prepared incase you can't find a trade partner. So we currently have 21 and 22 so we have to prepare for the draft for that unless something changes. 1
ddaryl Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Or maybe the Bills feel equally comfortable with a few of the 2nd teir options that not many are not paying attention 2 and wil be available.. Just because the "draft Experts" and "Mock Drafts" tell us whom the top 6 QB's should be it doesn't mean that the the Bills don't have comparable grades on a few of the under discussed options. If the grades are close do you trade the farm to move up ?????? Just because the "draft Experts" and "Mock Drafts" think that 4 or more QB's wil be drafted early doesn't mean that in reality there will be only 2 and some major free fallers. 99.9% of the time "draft Experts" and "Mock Drafts" are wrong and off base, and reading into comments made now realy has no fruit.. So much non sense half truths and out right lies...

Just like everyone else I have my own personal preference on who I think the Bills should take. But all I really want is for them to identify their guy and get him. If it's at 2 with Rosen, cool. 21 with Jackson? Splendid. Truth of the matter is Beane and McDermott have a lot more riding on it the we as fans do. Personally I do not want Mason Rudolph. Not in the first or second. Not in the 3rd. Not at all. However, if he's picked...I will become a huge supporter of his. I just want them to have a plan, execute it and we will see what happens.

I'm pretty confident the Bills would be one of those teams calling.
BillsFan130 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Believe nothing right now. The draft is like a big poker game. No way Beane reveals his hand Edited March 7, 2018 by billsfan11

There is a better chance the Bills will not find a trading partner. Look at it from the other team's perspective, why would they trade with the Bills? What we would demand?

M. Wrotto Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I hope he keeps to his word. This team has a lot more pressing issues than moving up for an untested QB. We have the ability to load this team with outstanding players for years to come if we stay put and pick wisely. 1 1
