BBillsWestCoast Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Would you trade up to pick #3 and give up the following to keep pick #22? Picks #12, #53, #56 and #65 = #3 overall We would still have #3, #22, #96, #121, #166 and #187, so basically no 2nd rounders. I am not sure Indy would do it, because I think they want that #22 (we still could trade down because that is a hot spot for trading back). We could grab a killer LB and still maybe land another starter in rounds 3-4.
Alphadawg7 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Yes I would do it. I would also do the opposite and give #12, #22 and #65 and keep our 2nds. Just go get our QB is all that matters. Edited March 14, 2018 by Alphadawg7 3
Domdab99 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I would rather use next year's picks in some way so that we retain a 2nd this year, but, yes, I've been thinking that this may be Beane's plan...trying to keep 22 while moving up. 1

I think teams are going to want next year's first over 22 this year. They are going to bank on the Bills being worse next year. 1
slaphappy Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 We are going to get our pants pulled down to our ankles because we HAVE to move up. Snidely Whiplash laugh on the other end of the line when we make the call.

I am betting we have a top 12 next year along with everyone else. I would still do it because of the cash we have for FA next year. Is a #1 next year equal to a #2 this year?

The points chart is one thing but the tax for moving up for a QB means you better go 20-25% above. Strangely Bills fans seem to think that other teams are suppose to give away the pick. I'd personally much rather give away 12 and 22 this year than 12 and a 1st next year, as that pick is likely to be much higher than 22 is this year. I doubt the Bills will make the playoffs on a 2nd place schedule and a ton of new starters, potentially a rookie at QB or at best a journeyman.

Having an SEC Alabama guy and two very good options at MLB available in that slot I am still hopeful we can stay.
