They've been the team most consistently linked to Beckham, he's obviously tight with Landry and they employ his college position coach. I don't think Gordon or Coleman has any impact on what Dorsey & co are going to do with the team. Expand Fair point. That said, I do worry that we're moving into the land of magical thinking at this point. The trade sorta works for everyone, but it REALLY works for the Bills. Hence our love for the scenario. But if the Giants would take Darnold if he's there (as has been reported ad infinitum), and the Browns want to take Allen, why would the Giants ever make that trade?

Bills to 1 would have to happens first. Cleveland gets its hall of picks. And knowing the Bills take Darnold, they wouldn’t have a shot.

Only bit that doesn’t make a ton of sense is Darnold to Bills. The Bills are the only QB needy team that needs their rookie QB to most likely start. That’s Rosen.

Chuck Wagon Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 I think the hold up on our deal with the Giants is both liking Darnold. If we deal above them that forces their hand. 1

Domdab99 Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Even though picking a RB #1 would normally be "LOL Browns" worthy, this year, I think if Cleveland picks Barkley No. 1, they are guaranteed one of Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield. Why Allen is in this mix, I have no idea...but put him there, too, if they happen to like him. This would not be bad at all for the Browns. If Rosen is dropping, the Biills can just move up to 6 and pick him there. But if they're really going to move up to 1 or 2 for Darnold or - god forbid - Allen - this would not be good at all.
