AustinDan Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 There are plenty of teams that are open to trading down, the Jets, Lions and Bills have pretty much came right out and said it. The Raiders have a ton of holes and could use even more picks, Tamp Bay traded back last year and would likely be open to doing so again. The real question is how many teams are looking to trade up in the draft, that's a shorter list.
Solomon Grundy Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Bills won't trade no farther than Cincy. I believe they want Metcalf to help Josh Allen and to be his WR for the foreseeable future. Cincy will want to get before Denver and draft their QB. Bills won't go after GB because they will ***** Metcalf. Bills will trade Zay Jones during/before draft.

Buffalo Junction Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 2 hours ago, CommonCents said: I still love my scenario, trade down with GB at 30 for an extra 2nd and 3rd. Risner, Butler Sanders, Tillery. I think a swap of 9 and 40 for 12 and 30 with some value picks balancing the trade out is equally likely. We have a young team and I’m sure Beane would love to get two players with a fifth year option.
transplantbillsfan Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Great... Bills apparently were more likely to trade up than back a week or two ago... now this... At least these guys are covering all possibilities

Putin Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 4 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: Yup, but of all the teams "interested" in a trade back, its pretty easy to argue the Bills are in the best position to make it happen. Going up to the Niners, Jets, Raiders, Giants picks will be very costly. And with a defensive heavy top 10, odds are looking good QB's will slide to 9 and then boom, that becomes a prime trade up spot. I highly doubt the Jets will find a taker for the 3rd pick for instance. What QB is worth that given they are just as likely to fall to 9? So I really feel like we are in a very good spot for this type of move this year. We could go back to say #13 with Miami, still get the guy we want at 9 and pickup #48 in the 2nd. Then move back up into the first to get another coveted player by trading #40 and either our 3rd or one something like a 4th and a 5th (just depends how high we go up from 40 really). We then have 2 firsts and a 2nd still. I’m pretty sure Miami would try to make a deal with Detroit at 8 , I’m not sure if McBean would even make a trade with Miami/division rival ESPECIALLY if it’s for a QB , 1

Not enough QBs to get overpaid for a move down. Sure, they could haggle for a 4th rounder or so. It’s not so much the specifics of the trade, it’s the quality of players available in that range, that’s what I was trying to show. I think all 4 of those guys have a fair chance at being top 10 at their respective positions.

I want them to trade back and get another 2nd rndr, but not that far. If they go back that far they would need more compensation, maybe a player they covet thrown in. 1

GunnerBill Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I think the Bills' guy is Ed Oliver. I believe they would consider going up 2 or 3 spots to get him too. But if they can't find a deal that works to do that and he is gone at #9 then a trade back is very possible. The one I have thought most likely all offseason? Back to 16 with the Panthers who have a major need at edge rusher and if Gary or Sweat are there (or maybe even for Ferrell who although he has dropped down some boards is still a really good player who fits Carolina's scheme). Maybe it is something like the Bills get #16 and #47; Panthers get #9 and #147. EDIT: I still don't believe trades up into the top 10 are going to happen for these Quarterbacks unless Arizona have been playing us all along and are not taking Murray. In which case I believe the Raiders would jump from #4 to #2 or #3 to avoid being leapfrogged by a team further back. Edited April 20, 2019 by GunnerBill 1
Kmart128 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 If we trade back then I think Burns is the target. If we trade up its Q Williams. If we stay put then it's Ed Oliver.
Chandler#81 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 7 hours ago, Florida Bills Fanatic said: I doubt that Beane would trade down with a division rival (Miami ) unless he could really exact an outrageous price. There are so many moving pieces with the draft, predicting the Bills moves are nothing more than a guess. Not even an educated guess, at that. Good point. But we handed Mahomes to KC on a silver platter..
Samwell Tarly Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 The Bills need blue chip talent, not extra guys. The Bills need D Line looking forward, the top of this draft has it. Stay at nine unless someone gets stupid and offers something amazing.

BillsFan17 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Again, we hear this almost every year. Not necessarily always from the Bills, but just seems like everyone wants to add more picks around the league. That being said, I have zero issue moving down and accumulating more capital, but we also have ten picks to begin with, with all the FA signings, come a point where bot all of these guys will make the team... and to get a proper e v a l on that many young players while trying to acclimate the upwards of 16 FAs... To me, I'd rather move up in this class and try and land Quinnen/Oliver.

Yeah, I'd guess they're very open indeed. Might well be a 2018 Denver situation where they're willing to trade down but only if their guy doesn't fall to them. Oliver, maybe? Picks in the 2nd and 3rd are valuable this year even more than usual. 1

To me, I'd rather move up in this class and try and land Quinnen/Oliver. I take your point, however, I think that trading back to accumulate more 2nds is OK. If we collect any later round picks, they need to be used to move back into 2nd round. If we can end up w/ an extra 1-2 picks in the 2nd, then I'm good w/ trading back. We certainly don't need to keep accumulating 3rd day picks. I think I would let Oliver drop to us, but I don't have any problem with them making a move up for Quinnen Williams as you suggest Edited April 20, 2019 by cage

The last few weeks I've said I think Ed Oliver is their guy unless someone like Josh Allen falls. If Oliver is gone and an unexpected player does not fall to 9, I think they will want to move. Whether they can, we'll have to wait and see. Now with all of that said, I completely disagree with Reuter and anyone who thinks we are trading with Miami, so they can help themselves and hinder us. 9 hours ago, CommonCents said: I still love my scenario, trade down with GB at 30 for an extra 2nd and 3rd. Risner, Butler Sanders, Tillery. Trading to 30 is too far IMO. Teens. We still have a target I'm sure and you don't want to trade too far back and get out of range for guys you are targeting.
