Bobby Hooks Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Nah... this can’t be. More likely they’re trying to freeze the Bills from trying to trade ahead of them for Rosen.

YoloinOhio Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Can’t be real because Bills fans can’t have nice things. We need to suffer for our long awaited playoff berth; it is written.
K D Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Just now, 26CornerBlitz said: Definitely agree with this. I think it was Mayfield and Rosen. They weren't planning on Darnold being there so he was never in their plans 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Dream draft 1. Barkley 2. Chubb 3. Allen 4. Bills trade up for ???????? 2

nbbillsfan Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Seems like smoke, potentially to trick bills into thinking they don’t need to trade up to 2. 2

Buffalo will have to get 4 in order to be certain they can land their guy. Still hoping crossing my fingers that Allen/Darnold go 1/3 and then Buffalo gets its pick of Baker(!) or Rosen, I'd be happy with either, but preferably Mayfield. Elway is stuck with “sunglasses at night” Paxton Lynch... he will take a CB

They do both. They obviously need to figure out who other teams might take so they can see who will be available to them. They do mock drafts internally as well
Chuck Wagon Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I can't be the only one feeling like somehow Beane is going to walk out of this with Rosen or Darnold and only having given up 12 / 53 / 56.

Irv Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I love coaches who would rather pick a guy who can't play but has the physical tools rather than pick the guy that can. Total EJ Manuel logic.

My gut instinct all along has been that the Jets (and Bills for that matter) would be higher on Allen than they were on Mayfield or Rosen. But having said that, I could easily see the sudden rumors of the Jets preferring both Josh's over Darnold as a smokescreen. It accomplishes one of two things: 1. If the Bills want one of the Josh's and the Jets want Darnold, it gets the Bills to sacrifice valuable assets to move up higher than necessary to get their guy. 2. If the Bills want Darnold and the Jets want Darnold, it gets the Bills to think they can safely wait and move up to 4 or 5 instead of 2 and end up allowing the Jets to get their guy instead.

In what world would a coaching staff on its last legs be banging the table for a guy who has to sit a year like Allen? I actually think Darnold is more ready to play than Allen but needs to sit also. This is why you don’t give up the farm for pick 3 two months before the draft. Mayfield and Rosen could both be gone by 3.
gonzo1105 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Or they are trying to smoke teams by getting someone to trade ahead of them for Allen so Rosen or Darnold will fall to 3
ndirish1978 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 This is the Jests pathetic attempt to trick everyone in case someone trades up to 2.

Maybe throw in a late rounder this year and a late rounder next year. But I don't see them throwing like 4-5 picks from this year in the trade, they have way too many holes to fill. I'm hoping 12/22 to the Broncos 5 and maybe a 4th or 5th. 12 will still get you a top 10 talent with the expected run on QBs.
