He said he didn't know if it would be a trade up or for how much, just that Darnold would be a Bill. One of the other guys (not Schrager) predicted Darnold would slide to 6 and the Bills would trade up with the Colts to get him.
YoloinOhio Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 17 minutes ago, Logic said: Here is one thing I DO Believe: Darnold is #1 on the Bills' board and has been for a long time. I also believe that the reason the Bills and Giants are waiting to pull the trigger on a trade is that they're waiting to see what the Browns do at 1. If the Browns take Allen, the Bills will trade up to 2 and take Darnold. If the Browns take Darnold at 1, the Bills move on to plan B, which likely involves trading up to the 4-6 range for Rosen or Allen. I think Darnold screams "Bills DNA" (whatever that means), and they'll do everything they can to get him if possible. He definitely fits the DNA. And has never missed a game due to injury. Where he doesn’t fit the player profile we’ve seen from the last draft his experience. He’s the least experienced QB in the draft. He didn’t even play 2 full seasons of cfb. He didn’t even start playing QB until his sophomore year of HS, and then missed almost his entire Jr year with a broken foot. USC offered him only after he showed up to a camp and lit it up with his passing. He’s very young (only 20) and very raw, which is just a departure from what they’ve done in the past with rookies. But the rest may outweigh that. at the very least if he’s the guy we can officially throw out the narrative that they want Arm Strength and hand size for the weather. 1

And there will be peace amongst Bills fans... for at least a little while I'm with you as well about Allen....I don't want the Bills to draft him. There will never be peace in politics, the middle east and a Buffalo Bills message board. 1

That would be ideal. Only happens if Browns take Allen, Jets take Rosen/Mayfield, Broncos pass on qb and Giants/Browns/Broncos take positional players w/out trading out. Possible, I suppose.

buffalostu2 Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Peter Schrager???? Have we now officially hit rock bottom for sources and opinions?
Bills4life1924 Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Here's the segment.. predictions start around 2:20 into the clip. Schrager is not the only one to predict Darnold to bills. Kyle Brandt also says Darnold to Bills at 6 via slide by Darnold and trade up by Bills Edited April 20, 2018 by Bills4life1924 1
dbflaBill Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Its my understanding the Bills are all in on Darnold. If they cant make a trade up to get him, they will sit at 12.

Rosen is the best QB in the draft and he will be available at 5 But you have to look at every aspect of a player. Being able to suit up on Sunday’s being #1. I don’t know that Rosen will be injury prone, but he’s not off to a good start. Concussions, slighter frame and shoulder problems are part of his equation. McD has stated that he really likes a QB that can throw on the move outside of the pocket. Darnold is much better in that respect than Rosen. I agree, rosen is currently the best qB in this class and I’d be VERY happy if we landed him....but there are other factors other than just playing QB. 1
YoloinOhio Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Has anyone listened to his Podcast “Season of Sam”? He sounds exactly like McDermott. McD probably has to hold back on how much he would trade for him.
turftoe Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 I don't think Darnold gets past the Jets. If the Bills really want him, they will have to pay the ransom to get to #2

John from Riverside Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 I could listen to her predictions all day
HappyDays Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 28 minutes ago, kdiggz said: I think that is a big risk to speculate what he might be. He has just as much of a chance to not be that as well. But like I said, if we were picking #1 and had our choice and they said we like Darnold over everyone else because of xyz then fine, but the fact of the matter is he would cost WAY more to get than someone who you admit is better right now. If we trade up to 4 or 5 and they are both there then so be it but to go out of your way to trade away more picks is silly imo I see Darnold, Rosen, and Mayfield as coin flips. So if I have my choice between them all I'm taking the one that I think has the highest ceiling. IMO that's Darnold although I could see arguments for Rosen. I like Darnold's attitude better than Rosen's too. I'd be happy with either but that's my take on it.

Do what you have to do to get your guy, as long as our guy is not Lamar Jackson, the rest of the details will work themselves out. I want Mayfield or Rosen, but if Darnold is their guy then so be it.
