Klaista2k Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) I really doubt Cleveland is gonna trade out of number 1. This is their opportunity to finally draft a franchise QB so it just wouldn't make sense for them to trade out. Everyone assumes that were gonna trade with the Giants and go up to 2. But the thing is Dave Gettleman has NEVER traded down in his career. This tells me the Giants are staying put at 2 and taking the best player on their board. The Jets will take a quarterback at 3 (either Allen or Rosen). So 4th is likely the highest position we will be able to move up to and at that point at least 2 quarterbacks will be off the board. So in other words it looks like were !@#$ed. Edited March 26, 2018 by Klaista2k
gobills1212 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) This would have been the PERFECT response in the TIME TO GET GETTLEMAN ON THE PHONE thread or the TRADE TO #2 thread. Heck, the little new insight that seems to be required for a thread would have been welcome! But, alas, here we are! But say the bills trade to 4, then up to 2, then down to 10 then back to 7, and end up w the guy they wanted all along... Then, and only then.. will Beane have outsmarted us all...

BillsFan130 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I don’t even think the Browns trade out of 4, especially if Barkley is sitting there 1
Don’t be THAT guy! Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I’m in the minority, but I think 4 is a good spot, but you don’t do anything until after the Giants draft at 2. There doesn’t seem to be a lot (if any steam) to the Giants wanting out of 2 and if they get Barkley or Chubb, why would they. Rosen or Mayfield would be there at 4 and you wouldn’t half to sell the whole draft.

Ya if Giants don’t trade out, then 6 or 7 will have to be their best bet to probably get either Mayfield or Allen (whoever is left)

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I think Jets want the Baker. .The best I can see us doing is staying ahead of Arizona and MIA. CLE, NYJ, DEN and possibly NYG go QB ahead of us and we are not sneaking past them. By some miracle, DEN or NYG go other than QB, we may have a shot at Allen or Rosen if we trade up to 6-10. MIA and AZ also want QB's early so it's going to be a dogfight.
TigerJ Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 That has been my assumption for a while now. Everything I've heard suggests they are happy at #2. There has even been a suggestion that they might be interested in TRADING UP to #1. I also don't think Cleveland has any interest in trading out of #1. I do think they'll listen to offers for #4, however. Don't expect it to be cheap as there may be other bidders in that auction.
NewEra Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Well at least we know what will happen now. I’m less stressed

The longer this goes on the more of a remedial drafting 101 vibe I get. I'll check back in 3 weeks when this thread has caught up w the rest of the board.. Edited March 26, 2018 by gobills1212

RPbillsfan Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 So many varied responses/concerns. So much hype regarding all the QB's (4) going in the top 5 picks. STOP IT This is so media driven and not football and team building. As the draft nears and teams assess their current rosters, look at the list of available free agents, look at their position in the draft and review their draft boards you will start to see the realism and not the over-hyped speculation as the draft approaches. Now, let's look at the situation realistically. Who really needs a 1st RD QB. Here are the catagories: 1. Must Draft 2. Could use a QB but has higher priority in RD 1 3. Need a QB round 2 or later 4. No QB need for this draft 1. Must Draft Cleveland NY Jets Buffalo Arizona 2. Could use a QB but has higher priority in RD 1 Miami Baltimore LA Chargers Cincinnati Pittsburgh New Orleans New England 3. Need a QB Round 2 or later NY Giants Denver Washington Jacksonville 4. No QB Need Tennessee Houston Indianapolis Kansas City Oakland Philadelphia Dallas Detroit Minnesota Chicago Green Bay Tampa Bay Seattle LA Rams San Francisco Atlanta Carolina Any disagreements with this list

Zac Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 If you can get to 4 you can get to 2. If the Giants aren't taking a QB they'd be dumb not to trade down to 4.
