******* Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Per Benjamin Albright . There was conflicting reports about this but he is 100 percent positive there have been talks to gage the price
ILBillsfan Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) if your gonna give up a kings ransom for number two might as well go for the first pick Edited March 24, 2018 by ILBillsfan 4 2
MrEpsYtown Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 They must want Darnold if this is the case. Reports of their love of Darnold came out in December, well before smokescreen season. 7

starrymessenger Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Why wouldnt there be talks? Maybe the Browns would even ask for less than G-Men who knows? Don't think its happening though. Browns already have lots of picks. They are taking Sam IMO. Something tells me that if the Bills ever wound up with the pick they would likely do the same.

He's the guy they will take at #1 I believe. In any event, they'll take a QB there.
Steptide Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Please beane, do something soon. If I have to read 20 draft/trade threads a day up until the draft my head is gonna explode 7 4
billspro Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I don't even care what the cost is, if we get Darnold we are going to be in great shape for the next 15 years. 1

Reports of their love of Darnold came out in December, well before smokescreen season. This is true! I don't see a tweet from Allbright, but it does look like he was just/is on WGR. Assuming this was said live and we will see some tweets soon. I have a feeling much like many on here it is Darnold & Rosen we are looking at. This also could simply be finding out the cost so we don't get bent over too bad by the Giants, don't see CLE trading out of 1... Edited March 24, 2018 by Reed83HOF 1
Chuck Wagon Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 If the Browns are equally split on Allen or Darnold and the Giants for sure aren't going QB, it certainly makes sense to go get your guy, the Browns get the ransom, then can turn around with the Giants and flip 2 and 4 and the Giants still get their same guy. I've seen Giants guys on twitter say the Bills are working hard with the Browns, not the Giants, because the Bills and Giants want the same player (Darnold) so the Giants won't trade the pick unless he's gone. 3
Turk71 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 The Bills may or may not have contacted the Browns. We will have more as this interesting story develops. 1

Lets temper our expectations on the 10-15 year talk. We only know that we would in theory have him for a rookie deal plus one franchise tag year. If the guy REALLY does not want to be here then he leaves well before 10 years elapses. If the team is far off from contending when the time comes to re-up what is his incentive to stay here other than offer a stupid rich contract?
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Update: upon further review . Although Costner said he would listen to offers from Buffalo for #1, he has no actual affiliation with Cleveland. He’s just staying in character in the case they are casting for a draft day sequel 2

You don't think you can build a reasonably good team around a fella like Darnold in three or four years? Draft, plust FA (we have a lot of money next year) -- and it's five years for a first round rookie contract. You can't presume incompetency. If you do, then why play at all? You go get a franchise qb with the thought it is the most crucial piece and hardest to get in football.

Chuck Wagon Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 If you assign ~700 points to the 2019 1st, #12 / #22 / #53 / #56 / 2019 = 3,390 points while #1 = 3,000 points Browns would have 4 / 12 / 22 / 33 / 35 / 53 / 56 / 64 / 114 / 150 / 175 / 205 (plus 2019 1st x2) They could give up very little likely to go from 4 to 2, could give up a second or other later to go from 12 to ~7 to get Ward or Fitzpatrick, and still have 22 and 3+ 2nd round picks
