Giant's keeping #2

Bills getting OBJ.
Well  
AcidTest : 3/14/2018 1:15 pm : link
if this happened, even on draft night, it would certainly be a complete reversal from Jerry Reese, who never traded down in any round.

50 lashings!
The other reason to do it  
jvm52106 : 3/14/2018 1:17 pm : link
now, is that maybe the league knows the Giants are NOT all in on a QB at 2. That means the closer to draft day they get the less attractive our pick becomes. Because the Colts aren't drafting a QB at 3 and they become the next big spot if a QB is what you want..
With all the picks

The Bills GM was Gettlemans assistant  
ghost718 : 3/14/2018 1:17 pm : link
I have my doubts,but it's possible.

I think Gettleman would have to be blown away to trade out of number 2
The reason why most people  
Gman11 : 3/14/2018 1:18 pm : link
are skeptical of these kinds of posts is the lack of information. What is the "person of trust" relationship to either the Bills or Giants? How does he get inside information. How long has this negotiation been going on?

No, the "asshat" makes a vague post and then you never hear from him again.

So, I'll believe it when I see it from a reputable source.
#12, #22, and their top 2nd round pick  
PatersonPlank : 3/14/2018 1:19 pm : link
would give a team with a lot of holes (us) 4 potential starters instead of 2. An OL player (like Williams), a top RB (like the LSU guy), a top LB or DB, etc.

We need a lot. If you are not biased, you can certainly make a case that drafting a QB at #2 who won't play for 2 years, and then only if he pans out, is not the right path for a team who needs a lot.

Giants have leverage now to guarantee  
jvm52106 : 3/14/2018 1:19 pm : link
you get the QB or one of the QB's you want. If Browns go Darnold then you want your choice (Say Allen) and he would be your target at 2. If we get to draft day and the Giants are still sitting with the 2 and you (say Buffalo) know they are not going QB then you could target the 3rd spot to get your guy.

If you think other teams may outbid you for a pick then you offer the max you can now and get you spot locked up. Then you use the rest of FREE Agency to fill the needs you have now that you won't have the picks to fill them.
Sounds like more ass than hat

And trading back up for Nelson  
UConn4523 : 3/14/2018 1:22 pm : link
probably all the way up to 3, would basically cost what we’d get in this hypothetical trade. It also can’t be guaranteed to happen anyway so we can be stuck at 12 picking from the 2nd tier of talent.

Sounds smart.

Need both of their second round picks
I wouldn't mind a trade down to 12 if  
Amtoft : 3/14/2018 1:23 pm : link
we also get 23 this year, 2nd rounder this year, 1st next year, and 2nd next year.

Basically if you wanted RB at #2 it would be like trading Barkley for Derrius Guice, Hernandez (who I love!), and say James Washington another player I love... Plus most likely high picks next year from a team with no QB basically. Could be back in the top 5 of each round. In the mean time Guice, Hernandez would start and Washington would probably be at least 4th WR.

You could also trade back to 12th picking up 23rd, 2nd, next years 1st, and 2nd. Then trade up into the top 10 if you wanted keeping most of the trade back. To me though there is easily 12 good players I would be happy with. 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 OL, 3 DBs, 2 DL, 2 LBs.

Saying that I don't think this happens.

How come all these teams are willing to mortgage everything for these QBs and the Giants and old Eli are not interested in taking one?

JonC, I never ever disagree with you. You are a wise football savvy guy. But I don't mind saying, I'd do it! If I get this years two number ones, a number two, a number 3, and a number one of two next year. I'd do it.

Given the fact that the Bills are not even rumored to be looking at FA QBs right now tells me they are taking one in the draft, and are confident they are going to get one of the QBs they like. The Bills are going to trade up and are going to give up a lot to do it.

As I have said the past few days. The Giants are not going to get out of their predicament in FA. They have to draft their way out. They don't have the money for FA and it's a poor way to fix your team anyway. They need more draft picks. Also, if they have pick 12 and 22, they can still move back into the top 10 quite easily.

I'd totally do it.


If they're bound and determined behind Eli, I get it. They can't rip it apart due to cap accelerations etc so ride it until it's dead in the dirt.

But, I hate the prospect of burning the chance to get a blue chip playmaker, they're so hard to get hands on and come along rarely. I'd rather pick Darnold or Barkley.

DaddyM89 has posted here for years and has never been an attention seeker that would be looking to make up asshat info.

I don't know if it'll go down (I really hope it doesn't) but I trust that he does truly have someone telling him it will. Could be someone from Miami that's a player on the teams, considering IIRC that was his school (I always remember people who are my age posting on BBI from like 10 years ago. Remember Dubs?)
2 to 12  
bc4life : 3/14/2018 1:28 pm : link
eliminates Barkley, Nelson, Chubb, all the QBs worth taking in Round 1. And, you would have to worry about teams trading to move up to 11 or lower. Makes no sense. This would be a draft day trade, and I still wouldn't like it.

I don't think this will happen. I hope not.

The argument about 2nd tier players etc is all tied with QB's being available at #2 or Barkley etc.. But, what if the Giants don't want a QB or Barkley at #2? If they truly wnat to win now, then immediate starters and major contributors is needed with our picks...
do the bills have any players to trade?

I think we got a blue chip playmaker at #12 a couple of years ago. Sometimes the top guys aren't always the best players in the draft. We just don't know it yet.

Don't be so sure about that. I suspect this draft is far more fluid than people think. Chubb to me is a very blah player. Overrated. OT's will slide some- MM, OB, CW will all go lower than first thought. Nelson will be top 10 for sure but so many other spots open. The Giants can't fill multiple needs with 5 picks and FA.

This makes a ton of sense.

Gettleman learned his craft under Ernie Accorsi. The Maras have been and continue to be a conservative organization. Trading up yes, trading down no.

They don't, but ownership is still the same. But after last season, ownership might well be willing to something completely unprecedented, especially if it's what their new GM and coach want.

Or they like Webb enough and feel he can replace ei in a couple of yeara...


Also possible they don't feel comfortable with any of the qbs in this draft and are looking to get as many picks as they can for 2...

If they take a qb at 2 and it doesn't hit it will set the team back, if you are not comfortable do not take a qb
