Tipster19 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 It wouldn’t shock me. If the first few picks go as expected then Denver would be in a great position. Now if they were to take a QB as well then the longer the draft goes from there the more that it allows some other not so expected team(s) to become a competitor for the last of the 4 touted QBs. Dolphins, Ravens, Cardinals, Chargers, Patriots and possibly the Saints all become more viable to trade up. Now if the Giants and Broncos unexpectingly decide to take QBs themselves then it won’t matter what the Bills want to do simply because the top 4 would be gone. That might actually be a blessing in disguise but really nobody will know that for quite some time. Does anyone think that the above teams named will try and trade up into the top 7 picks other than the Bills?
TOboy Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Sadly it would be the Billsy thing to happen. Lets not let our minds go there! 1
The 9 Isles Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) No, I'm actually expecting that. Maybe not a dark horse but probably Miami, Arizona or even New England. Just too much hype for this to actually work in the Bills favour. Edited April 24, 2018 by The 9 Isles
K D Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Only a dummy would trade with another team knowing the Bills have more to offer. 4

I get the draft capital thing but if the unknown QB that the Bills coveted was actually already selected then maybe the Bills are even interested in trading up which would allow 1 of these other teams to decide if they want to trade up for that 3rd or 4th QB. 2
Rico Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Wouldn’t surprise me at all, that’s why I still want #2. 1

IF we don’t trade up, then I would believe this is what happened. The only way we don’t trade up is if the guy we wanted is already gone and we don’t deem anyone else is worth moving up for.

Bills will be getting a QB. They have come this far, there's no turning back. Even if they get the 4th QB they will make it seem like that was their guy all along 1 1

stuvian Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I can see the Cardinals doing something totally whacked 1
Adam727 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I'm really not worried about the Pats/Saints trading up. No way either team is giving up that many high draft picks when they are able to compete for a championship right now. I'm nervous the Dolphins might move up for Rosen or that the Cardinals might jump ahead of us to grab a QB. If anyone else trades up into the top 11 it only helps us because I don't see any other team moving up for a QB. It would be depressing for a second to see the screen flash "TRADE "at pick 5 or 6 only to find out a few minutes later that it's some other team moving up for Chubb or Nelson.
Augie Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) What if the Broncos decide to go UP rather than down? Maybe just one spot with the Browns who will still get their guy, but get something in return while Denver gets their QB. Or three spots and the Giants still get a stud, plus a little more. Why do the Broncos just trade back? Hey, anything can happen here, that’s why it’s so intriguing. Edited April 24, 2018 by Augie 1
Chuck Wagon Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) As a Bills fan, I fully expect someone like the Cardinals to move in front of us and get Rosen for just 1 2nd rounder, while we take a DB at 12 and Rudolph at 22. Edited April 24, 2018 by Chuck Wagon
BuffaloBillyG Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 LA Chargers. They are a wild card out there. Ravens are another one.

gr8billsfan Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 The title lost me... BUT... Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills don't trade up and one of those teams you've mentioned does.

Hence why Beane may have been talking up how closely graded all of the top QB's are. 1
Lurker Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 While I don't expect it, Pittsburgh trading up to get Rothlisburger's replacement would be a double head slap, given how we lost out to them in 2004...
