Pay big price (draft pick wise) to get potential franchise QB Have average/progression season Year two spend big in free agency to fill holes and depth. Buffalo is in the exact position to do just this with their current draft capital and currently 97mil in cap space for next season. @soflbillsfan I don't know how you can say that is too much when the Bills would still have 6 picks after taking a QB in this years draft and 7 next year before compensatory. That is a huge factor that plays in our favor. Couple that with a cheap rookie QB contract going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a scenario I created to show how realistic it is. Bills trade pick 21 and 22 (1580 points) to Tampa Bay for pick 7 and 108 (1578) Bills trade pick 7, 53 2019 1st (2670) to NYG for pick 2 (2600). Bucs get two first round picks and only gave up a 4th to do so. They can add to blue chip players. NYG move down only 5 spots and pick up another 2nd and a future first in the process. Bills end up with: Round 1 pick 2 Round 2 pick 56 Round 3 pick 96 Round 4 pick 108 Round 4 pick 121 Round 5 pick 158 Round 5 pick 166 In 2019 they would not have a first round pick, but they currently have a 2nd, 3rd, two 4ths, a 5th, a 6th and a 7th and will likely get at least one, probably 2 compensatory picks. Thoughts? It's a unnecessary, stupid gamble to deal our 2019 1st.. We have enough capital to move up without that pick involved. Pick 21, 22, 2nd round, Eagles 3rd round, 2019 2nd round type package is plenty enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hardly call that "plenty enough" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli is in twilight of his career, it's time for them to draft the next franchise QB and sit for a year Realistically were still a 6-7 win team right now especially with growing pains from whoever we draft at QB. I'm gonna be pissed if we deal our 2019 but I highly doubt we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a terrible decision based on their position but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care which one. Rosen would be my choice if I was GM though, homie can throw a football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I want Rosen in no small part too due to just how many jimmies he'll rustle with his personality and beliefs tbh. That and he's pretty good at the whole "being a QB" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they knew they would be guaranteed one of the two QBs. I think we are more likely to trade up to #3-#5 and we will want to see who is on the board first.

If we do it this early it has to be to #2. No way do i want to risk missing out on our top 2 choices. I really think Cleveland is taking Allen. Idk if it will be at 1 or 4 yet but the Tyrod move screams it to me because i think the other 3 guys should be ready to start week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
