If the Bills do move up it will be for a QB.
If the Browns take an RB at #1, it probably means they get the third best QB available, with the Giants taking a QB or even trading out to another team that would be moving up to get a QB.
The question is can they afford to do that after passing on Watson last year?
Colts' potential trade with Bills becomes even more interesting - (
New Window )
Do most trade ups like this get announced in advance if they don't involve players?
Point is the Browns may not know at #1 if the Bills are actually going to trade up to #3.
If the Browns really want Barkley *and* want to make sure they get their preferred QB, they certainly have the assets to entice DG.

ONLY way i could see this is if they LOVE TWO QBs...barkley will go 1 or 2, so bills would get a top 2 QB in the draft....honestly, if barkley isnt there for us, i want to move back to 4-8 and pick up some more picks including a 2018 second rounder...move back to 5 and take a QB or fitzpatrick and with both second rounders go OL...maybe kolton miller and hernandez
Ok if you're Browns, prior to the Bills getting all this trade up ammo, you were assured at least top #2 of the QBs (which has been a 50/50 boom or bust for one of the two of late) but know you know if you pass the Bills can leapfrog you at 4 to get second of the two top QBs.
I guess I'm asking are the Browns ok with the #3 QB? They Need a QB, why not just get your guy at #1.
Yes, good point, but that was right after the Rams traded up to #1, so it's slightly different in that 2016 was a "2 QB draft" and it was widely assumed they'd go #1/#2.
This year is wide open and I don't think team know who is going to be taken when with Barkley the QB's and other players all in that tier. I think it's too wide open. Just my opinion.
Don't remember the assurances but make sense looking back after Rams traded up, the obviously had a target.
I just don't see how the Browns can 'get cute' again, and not just take their guy at QB #1.
If not the Bills, they must assume the Jets, Denver, whoever....
So they must be happy with one of the top 3 QBs (unlikely) or trade up from their 4th, which is looking more and more likely.

Why did the Eagles trade up the week before. If you can secure the trade before draft time when other offers may intensify you do if or you risk losing out.

trade up to #3 now, why wouldn't the Bills wait until the draft and do it when the Colts are on the clock?

yes, fair point, addressed above.

If they land Darnold, Chubb and then Price or Guice or any guys that fall in their lap in rd 2, that is a fantastic draft and way to kick off the rebuild.
Then they are dumber than the browns.
Notice the FA QB trend - 1, 2 or 3-year deals. Big bucks, but shows teams not interested in mortgaging cap space in the future.
Oh, one thing to NOT say when talking to reporters about Cousins - on Vikings brass explaining the 3-year deal said that when it ends, they can always "tag" him!
No, they don’t. Barkley is the best player in the draft
Been saying this for a while. Browns have a very good chance of coming with the best QB and best RB.
