JinxedBill1 Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Good, Rosen is the best QB IMO. I like Darnold but I think Rosen comes in day 1 and starts

Take it for what it's worth. 1) Bills have already offered the Giants 3 first round picks for 2, and it wasn't enough. Perhaps that was their breaking point and that's why the Rapsheet story came out about them not looking at 2 anymore 2)He's heard the Bills like Rosen. Didn't say if they have him ranked as their top qb, but at the very least it means they aren't one of the teams that dropped him for character/durability. Either way, 4 more days. We will make it! Lmao, no wonder that idiot got fired in Carolina. 1

I keep telling people Trading up is not as easy as everyone makes it out to be.....the Giants turning down 3 first round picks? Well we could get to 6 or 7 and THEY might want the 3 first round picks......what does Beane do then? Option 1 - Overpay.....and pray to god that Rosen is everything we all hope he is.....then pick up the pieces in free agency with the ton of money we are gonna have next year Option 2.....take Lamar Jackson.....listen to the select fanbase whine while he holds a clipboard next year......and use our boatload of picks to fill holes on the team.....then be selective with our cap space the following year Both are viable options....we are NOT screwed if Bean cant make the trade up happen. 2

Rico Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 4 hours ago, McBean said: I’ve been saying it for months. The New York Giants aren’t trading out of #2 because they are taking a QB. It’s going to be a Bears Trubisky selection reaction on Thursday night when it happens. Gettlemen and Pat Shurmur aren’t that stupid. This is Shurmur’s second and most likely final shot at being a HC. He’s not going to go down with a 37 year old washed up Eli Manning. I haven't seen anyone in here talking about Eli's fraud trial, I wonder if that could be a factor in them going QB. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/04/21/nfl-has-no-comment-on-eli-mannings-pending-fraud-trial/

Where’sLloyd Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Not that I want to get flamed on, but I’m a Giants fan and haven’t heard a thing about this trade nor do I think it’s stupid for them to turn it down. Yeah it sounds good and probably would help them, but Gettleman wants a HoF player there and sees Barkley as some transcendent player. 12 and 22 are just not good enough. They had a miserable season and only the type of talent available at 2 makes it tolerable. If The Bills can get inside the Top Ten then yeah I see DG maybe going for it. The Bills could have a high 2019 Pick too so I don’t think picking at 12 is any foregone conclusion. We don’t need to be at 2 to get one of these guys. In 1984 The Montreal Canadiens offered their entire draft for Pittsburgh’s number one....rejecting that was hardly stupid.

They're afraid the Browns take Allen instead of Darnold. And if the Browns take Allen with the Bills already having secured #2 they'll lose their minds since he's the only QB they'll consider at 2. They want to make sure if they part with 2 it's for a Kings ransom. I'd hold off if I were Beane and if the Browns take Darnold the price drops to 12, 22 and a second. Can't lose next years 1st just to jump 10 spots when you're already giving up 2 of them.
Inigo Montoya Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Estro says; 100% correct. Further evidenced by the fact that they were unwilling to move back to #6 with the Jets and pick up those additional three 2nd round picks. Gettleman may be old school and appreciate his "hog mollies" but he's not dumb enough to turn down that bounty of draft picks unless they absolutely love 1 of the QBs. IMO, it's either Darnold or Rosen the Giants want probably in that order. I happen to think the Bills like the same 2 QBs.....and if both are gone the Bills will not be moving up. I think you're right and we may not be able to find a trade partner and our guy(s) will be gone before we can make the move. Rudolph at 12 may end up being the pick. The question is, will the Bills feel pressured to trade up from 12 to get him? Rumor has it that the Pats are big on Rudolph and now New England has the draft ammo to trade up ahead of us to grab him at 10 or 11. Would hate to have the Pats swoop in and grab Rudolph if he's the best qb left on the board...
{::'KayCeeS::} Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 I've gotten a lot of flak for suggesting we don't trade up for a QB, but i will probably, legitimately shed tears if Rosen is selected by another team. Sad, I know. Still.
rayray808 Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 the Jets aren't going with Mayfield... the obvious pick is the smoke

If they have a Bad grade on Darnold they are trading out If they have a good grade on Darnold then yes, it has to be Darnold. They would be losing a lot of value by not trading and then going on to not take Darnold.
Doc Brown Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 10 hours ago, FeelingOnYouboty said: LOL Giants are pretty clearly not taking a QB. Let’s not be paranoid. They’re doing us a favor by not accepting. We’ll get to 5 by giving up 12, 22 and 53 and we’ll get Rosen for much cheaper I think if I was the Broncos I'd prefer the #12 pick and next year's first instead of #22. You have to assume the Bills won't be making the playoffs this year after losing Glenn, Incognito, Wood, Taylor, Brown, and Gaines. 2 hours ago, {::'KayCeeS::} said: I've gotten a lot of flak for suggesting we don't trade up for a QB, but i will probably, legitimately shed tears if Rosen is selected by another team.

I hope the Giants are dumb enough to take Barkley over a franchise QB to replace Eli (or rejecting a trade giving them two extra number one picks).

Thurman#1 Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 14 hours ago, DriveFor1Outta5 said: I’d completely understand the Giants turning a trade down if they were looking for Eli’s replacement. I can’t understand turning down three first rounds picks for any other position. The Giants are a bad team who lack depth. Three first rounders would go a long ways toward helping them turn that franchise around. If Eli has a couple years left those extra picks would build a roster around him. If they believe Eli is very close to retirement, keeping their first rounder to draft a QB is logical. Declining a solid trade offer to draft a running back is the one option that make no sense imo. They might simply think that they can get a better offer, either from the Bills on draft day or someone else. And they might be right.
