Virgil Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Two weeks until possibly the most exciting draft in the past 20 years for the Bills, possibly NFL. With that, he's what we know......NOTHING. With that, with the loss of two of our offensive starters on a line that wasn't that great; with a missing 2/3's of our goal starting linebackers, I can't get on board with completely throwing away all of our picks for one QB. So, as of right now, I would be willing to trade both of our 1st's this year and our 1st next year to move up to at least 4. I know we need a trade partner first and some things to fall our way, but if any of the big 4 are there from pick 4 on, then I'm making that trade to get one of them. I think we need the remaining picks to fill some holes. However, I'm not making any trades pre-draft. I'm waiting and seeing. If the Giants don't go QB at 2, then I'm happy and assume one will make it to the 5-8 range. If that's the case, then we may be able to move up just trading #12 and a 2nd rounder. If we can’t get our guy, then offer our 2nd next year for Foles and plug all those other holes. Ideally, I want our QB and McDermott to get his starting MLB as I believe that's the main piece to his defense. I'm not horribly worried about the offensive line and will settle for BPA in that category. McDermott liked Ducasse at RG, we have Groy for LG, and we signed the starting Center from the Bengals. It's not a world beating line, but we know it can work. If we can upgrade in the draft our FA, then great. But we have more pressing needs. Edited April 11, 2018 by Virgil 2
whatdrought Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 We had a good draft with solid contributors last year and I am looking forward to seeing that again. I too am very hesitant with throwing away much of the draft for a QB, especially since I don't see a ton of difference among the top 4. I think we should let the draft come to us.
MrEpsYtown Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Agreed. Great teams know how to make great lineman. They don't have to all be first round picks like Dallas. Castillo has done a lot for some later round draft picks in the past. Get the quarterback and linebacker and the rest will work itself out.
ddaryl Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 All I want is for the next 2 weeks to end quickly. 4 1 2
jrober38 Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Ideally we trade up to the #6 pick to get either Baker Mayfield or Josh Rosen, keeping our 2nd and 3rd round picks to help us upgrade at LB, DE and on the OL. Edited April 11, 2018 by jrober38 1
K D Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 i don't think any of the top 5 teams wants to fall back to 12, if they even want to trade at all. move up to 7 now if that helps get a deal done. you can't be nonchalant with the QB position. sitting back and waiting to see how it falls is not a viable option

PIZ Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Trade up for Rosen or Darnold. If no trade up, then Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph somewhere in the 1st.
Pre1236 Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Get to number 2 - whatever the cost. My fear is they get 4 then someone swoops into 2 for Rosen and we are stuck with Allen. 1

DCOrange Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 What I want: Roquan Smith at 12 and a trade up from 22 for Lamar What I expect: A trade up to the 7-10 range to take the 4th QB in the draft (my guess being Rosen) 1 1
NewEraBills Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 What do I want to happen? Well, this is not grounded in reality but since you ask what i want to happen, I want Rosen to fall to 12 and then we also take Vander Esch at 22. That's what I want to happen. Then start rebuilding the OL and add to the WR unit.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 My hope is that we trade up to #2, possibly by use of a 3rd team such as the Bucs, and select Rosen or Darnold. Whether all the pieces required for that to happen fall in place is an entirely different matter, but I don't expect much action until the Browns officially make their selection.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I want the draft to start 4/12 1

Prickly Pete Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) For me, it's really important for these Bills to at least match the 7-9 seasons, year in and year out. It's humiliating to finish at the bottom. 7-9, 8-8...these are good, entertaining seasons, that allow me to hold my head up with pride in my Buffalo Bills. It pains me when our O-line is noticeably worse than the rest of the league's. Or when our linebacker corp is terrible. Patriot fans make fun of my team, Finding a QB MUST take a back seat to 7-9 seasons. We can't let this team fall back to the bottom, even for one season. Edited April 11, 2018 by OJABBA 1
