This take has become extremely tired. It's most likely inaccurate . Beane didn't have what was required to trump what the Jets could offer the Colts: namely a high draft slot. The Colts moved back a mere 3 spots ( about as safe as could be) and scored 3 second rounders for practically nothing. A move back to 12 incorporated risk for the Colts , and removed them from scoring another potential deal in the trade up for a QB market. The 6th pick fit that nicely. It wasn't happening for the Bills because they lacked the currency to give the Colts what they wanted. 

 

Or they dont mind moving back to 12. AND saw an opportunity to get great value to mive tk 6. And are going to deal 6 to Bills for more picks. And then Bills can use 6 as a launching point to get to Two. ?

This could be the Bills putting it out there, so when we don't trade up it can be blamed on teams not wanting to trade back....

If the Bills are indeed unable to move up, wouldn't it be due to teams not wanting to trade back ? It seems unlikely they would move to 12 just to stay there.

That's exactly what I mean. There wasn't a need to move all the way back to 12 with the free picks they got to move to 6. If they stay at 6 they still get a top player that falls to them and scored extra picks in the process. They're in no worse position at 6 than they were at 3 and could move back again.

Every spot has a price tag but sometimes the price it too high. I would be ok with Beane over spending a little bit but he cant give away this years and next years draft to do it.

Tre white and 12 for the two pick

Gonna take 50% premium on the pick. That Premium has been set. So you are gonna pay 3000 points for a 2000 point pick. 

 

And dont care about next years draft if I have a legit QB

I really fear we will overpay for a qb

 

Is that fear as large as the fear of going another 23 years without a legit franchise QB?

There is so much information coming out, I actually wonder if it is a smoke screen and they are not planning to trade up. Otherwise,  all this info coming out is making them look almost desperate and that will cost them.

Information not coming from the Bills...how will it cost them?

[Kirby Jackson]

So 2 tradeups it is? 

 

12 & 22 for 5 and 71

 

5, 53, 65, 71 and a 2019 4th for 2 & 220

 

Bills pick 2, 56, 96, 121, 158, 166, 220

He didn't have what the Jets had to offer.

repost.  i almost prefer they pick outside of the top 5 because i don't trust them to pick the right QB at 2.  if they traded all the way up and took Josh Allen or Sam Darnold i would barf.  Rosen is my guy but Mayfield at 5-7 is the best value if they like him.

So they would not only have to move up, but also must pick the player YOU like as opposed to the one they might like ? It makes one wonder why you would bother following the team. Just strange to me. I'd like them to move up to 2 the most because it would give them the most possible options - 3 out of the 4 top ranked QBs. That's the best scenario for the FO, rather than hoping their target falls to them. So that's what I prefer.

That is the draft for you.....nothing is set in stone including how good the player is gonna be

 

Lets say the bills did get the 3.....in that situation we were guaranteed one of the top 3 guys.....the jets panicked and gave up a ton to move up.

 

And in the end......some guy like Mike White may end up being the best QB to come out of the draft....it happens.

The only realistic options may be to overpay or simply not have one. Which do you think  is worse/ better? 

 

Is this in case the QB doesn't pan out?   Is that overpay?   There is a chance the traded picks don't pan out either.   I am in the camp of get a QB with one more trade up.  But if you have to trade up twice, get it done

As if these media reports are spoiling the Bills well kept secret that they need a QB.

What does this mean?

[NickelCity]

I hope they're trying like hell. I had a dream last night where we didn't trade and the blue chip qb's were off the board by 12. We didn't draft one until the 4th. I was so relieved when I woke up.

I don't know....do you think they may trade up for a QB...or try to?

If it's the right QB, and that may be a big if, you cannot overpay. The right QB is priceless. Again, assuming you hit on a franchise QB.

[PromoTheRobot]

We will trade the farm to move up, draft whoever, which 2/3 of the people here will hate, and the Pats will take Rudolph, Lauletta or White and they will be geniuses.
