I predict there will be a lot of wheeling and dealing right when the draft starts rather than someone moving up to 1 or 2 in the days leading up to it. But you never know. I would think Beane wants it done ASAP.

bkep32 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 i love this bills been wheeling and dealing....i dont mind giving up the 2 first and next yrs 2nd so we keep our 2 2nds and cleveland 3rd

I understand both sides but I think if you look at the histories of 37 and 49 the chances of getting two solid if not star players would be better at 12 and 22.

Disagree with this logic for a simple reason - you're not factoring in players. A team may absolutely love a player who will be there at 6 and not at 12. That has to be factored in.

If I were the Giants, I'd ask for our Pick 12, next year's first and one of our thirds this year. They're banking on we won't be as good a team next year and they'd get a higher pick in the first round. Edited March 12, 2018 by Green Lightning

I guarantee you they love a dozen players at 22 versus 37.

Perhaps the Giants would be willing to move further down in the first in exchange for more total picks than what the Jets would have to offer (in that scenario). Besides, do the Giants really want the Jets to have a franchise QB, making them the big dogs in the Meadowlands?

The last question is real, but at the end of the day it's not rational to want to stick it to the Jets simply they're a NY team. They're in the other conference and aren't a rival.

mjt328 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Looking at the draft order, I don't think getting to #12 is our ultimate goal. In terms of "QB-needy" teams, that only gets us ahead of Arizona. Even if the Bills like 4-5 guys, I don't think they can be confident that Cleveland, New York, Denver, New York and Miami are going to pass on someone. Not to mention someone else trading up. I also don't think Beane makes this trade without a plan already in place to go higher. Imagine moving up 9 spots, only to have other teams jump ahead and take the guy(s) you were after. Or getting up this far, then not having a willing trade partner to swap. That would be a major blunder from our front office. My guess is that we have already discussed this with other teams, and have a pending trade in place with Cleveland, New York Giants or Indianapolis. Don't be surprised if something else pops in the next week or so.

I feel like I would be reliving EJ all over again.. I compare the Allen situation to Gabbert when he came out. Not comparing talent at all, just how they shot up the draft board after the combine, and due to the nature of the position they play. Now Allen has more talent than Gabbert did, but personally, I wasn't all that impressed by him. Too inconsistent for me. I get that he wasn't surrounded by great talent at Wyoming (to Klaista's point), but he didn't exactly face top talent every week either. They were largely ineffective against Iowa and Oregon, which was expected, but they faced several cream puffs and didn't exactly blow them away either. I would side with you Captain on this one, but who knows? Maybe Allen turns out to be the best QB in this draft, or at least a franchise QB, but I just don't see it. 19 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: The one thing I'm hoping is that the Giants don't want to hand a star to the Jets -- that and Gettleman's relationship with Beane.

They have TT now and who better to groom Lamar Jackson @ 12. The problem is who will be there left @4 between Darnold, Rosen & Mayfield? No point in possibly settling for the 3rd best. #2 is calling the Bills name, "Come get me, come get me..."

They're in the other conference and aren't a rival. The same can be said for the Bills, though. I'm sure it's far from the top of the list of factors, but I guarantee you the Giants would rather see the Bills with that QB than the team that shares their stadium, while picking up an additional pick (including 2 firsts) in the process. The Gettleman connection is very real, though, and may actually be the key to it all.
