He is going to have to kick in a premium. the 50% premium is going to be 3900 points total. So look for 2019 picks to make up the premium that will have to be paid. As I said before, if the Giants are not willing to accept that offer then both teams simply move on. You can't get dizzy drunk on one QB being the end all be all of a franchise. If this were an Andrew Luck or Peyton Manning, then yes, by all means go crazy. But these QBs aren't on that prospect level. You just need to have the next plan in place and that'd be selecting a QB at a later pick...Jackson, Rudolph, Lauletta, etc... Then building your roster with the extra picks you still have.

No one is going to show their cards and it only takes one team falling in love.

If OBD wants Rosen or even Mayfield GO GET HIM. Why Settle on second round prospects when your entire two years has been about this moment.

If the Bills took a guy generally considered by ESPN to be "second tier", let's just say Rudolph for example, and he turned out to be the best guy in the group, would you still be mad we didn't trade up?

I don’t see it happening, at least not gronkowski anyways, but the Patriots are always up to no good I don't see any team offering up a lot for The Cretin when he's been contemplating retirement the past couple years and is breaking down.

Clearly not. But if the Giants trade the #2 pick to Miami, they take Rosen, he's the next Marino and we sit and take a second tier QB who busts, are you going to be mad? 2 1

Neither the Rams nor the Eagles were giving up three first round picks as it seems you're asking of the Bills. This is the difference, at some point you must step away from the bar and say I'm good. Good luck trying to rebuild a team to compete with the Eagles the next 10 years. If the Giants like Webb a whole lot, they will take the trade value chart deal in a second.

I'd let the Giants get on the clock Thursday the 26th and see what they really want to do. We've already scouted other QB's. Accept this or we'll draft another guy. Even if we send the picks to someone else. To me, it's that simple.

I guess if the Jets are head over heels for Rosen and the Browns are equally fine with any one of 3 or 4 QBs, there's a chance they could flip 1 and 3. I don't either truthfully

If the Giants like Webb a whole lot, they will take the deal the trade value chart deal in a second. The Titans got #15 / #43 / #45 / #76 / a next year 1st and a next year 3rd to go from 15 to 1. Some combination of #12 / #22 / 2 or 3 of #53 - # 65 / 2019 pick isn't that far off.

Sure, we can go over the guidelines a little, but if they are asking us to bend over they're crazy. Definitely, take a swing at a QB you want, but everything must be done according to some guidelines or else relationships can go bad.
Chuck Wagon Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 12 minutes ago, DCOrange said: I don't either truthfully I just don't think we would have put on the QB press we are putting on if we have been told none of the picks in the top 5 are available. Sometimes information is a smokescreen to deceive another team, but other times it's floated to prep your fanbase for a move. The Giants want to play poker with the pick, but they don't want their fans to be completely sold on a QB or Chubb / Barkley then yank the rug out.

I also have a walkway price, however it includes a premium, that established overpayment that has occurred with Rams, Eagles and Jets trades.

If it takes an extra second to get your TOP QB then do it See to me, you don't just let them set the price. You see what they want and how far it is away from what you set as your initial price. Then see if you can meet in the middle somewhere. I look at it like I'm on a car lot. I never pay full price for the car. Never. I tell the guy look, here is the window sticker, here's what I'll pay you. I think it's a fair deal. Then he says, well we are 8k difference, then I say I'll tell you what, I'll pitch in another 3k, take it or leave it. I haven't found a car salesman who'd turn it down yet. I've owned 5 automobiles. To me this is the same thing. How well do you negotiate from your price? How well do they negotiate from their price? Edited April 9, 2018 by NewEraBills

The Market is clearly set. It has been set from Wentz, Goff trade ups. there is a QB Premium on the picks, Jets paid it this year as well. If you want to get up to there to get your QB (or any pick) you will be over the Draft Value chart by some premium. You are the team that set this plan in motion a year ago. The league knows that. You passed on Mahommes and Watson to execute this plan, so you will making sure that you get a better prospect than either of those two, and that is the top 4. Edited April 9, 2018 by MAJBobby

The Rams, Eagles did not give away 3 first round picks. I'm saying I'd give 12, 22, and next year's 2 as an initial offer. That would be my first starting price knowing that I'm willing to give up next year's first. But if he wants something more than that, then 12, 22, and next year's 1st then the deal is off.

The Bills Blog Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Wily Dog said: The Giants are not going to make any moves until they see what the Brown's do. They will entertain offers but they will not complete them unless Cleveland announces their pick before the draft. If Cleveland takes Darnold then it will be a free for all with teams attempting to get t0 # 2. I hope Gettleman thinks kindly of his former protege'. What's with the apostrophe at the end of the last word?
