Asshat Info: Bills and Giants about to make massive trade

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.
They will make the trade if they are ok

I think that should do it, but I would also ask for 2020 1st rd to see if they would include.

Still don't feel comfortable moving from #2 to #12, but if we are going to, I'd want all the above back. You would have to get a king's ransom to move back in the Giants current roster and draft position.

Agreed. As far as the Bills waiting until draft night, the Eagles made a similar trade before the draft even though the Rams were drafting #1 and also needed a QB. My guess is that as Sy said, the Bills want Allen, and are confident the Browns will take either Darnold or Barkley.
No Fucking way  
GMen23 : 3/14/2018 1:10 pm : link
We might trade with Buffalo, if they move up into the top 6-8 picks, by draft day.

But we are not moving back to 12 on March 14th, IMHO, unless we're getting Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, & Andre Reed, plus 2 #1 draft picks.

Regardless of who they want  
Young Elijah : 3/14/2018 1:13 pm : link
if the whole league knows theyre trading the farm to get into the top 5 - why wait?

You want to wait until 30 minutes into the draft to see if your draft strategy goes from "Select our future QB and 3 other guys with the pieces with the few picks remaining" or "Scouting and selecting 5 guys in the top 65 picks" - thats a tectonic shift of strategy and resource allocation.

I would agree today if I were both teams if its a legit offer.
This could just be preliminary talks for a draft day trade!

Not suggesting this guy knows what he is talking about, but the Bills can make this trade if they like two of the QBs and are ok with either.

The part about no chance doesn't fit here. If they are 100% in for Eli right now and Webb for future then no worries about #2. I suspect the Giants want to position themselves for a short 2 year window and run at a Championship.

If so, a QB at 2 will not do that for you. YOu fix the Oline, the LB'ers and DB's/WR's.

UConn4523 : 3/14/2018 1:14 pm : link
but a trade now makes zero sense if it’s only involving picks. Why would we trade out of 2 before knowing who goes 1?

And if we do this we lose out on all QBs, the best RB prospect in a while, the best Guard prospect in a while, a blue chip DE, etc.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.


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.

but who can we get at 12?

Guys who will be gone
QB Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield, Allen
RB Barkley
OL Nelson
LB Edmunds
DB Fitzpatrick
DL Chubb

Maybe available
LB Smith, DE Davenport

Likely still available
OT McGlinchey
OT Williams
CB Ward
NT Vea
S James
LB Evans
CB Alexander



Still some very good players available at 12. Hernandez or Guice in the 20's makes a lot of sense also.

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.


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.
Eli needs replacing...

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

It doesn’t seem like Buffalo has sufficient “ammo” to pull this off.

It would seem like a player(s) from Buffalo would have to be involved (who would we want?) and / or it would be a multi-team deal.

For Gettleman to pull the trigger on a trade 6 weeks before the draft, it would have to be “beyond a king’s ransom” (think Herschel Walker / Ricky Williams type trade).

How about a summary of the last 27 pages, what's actually going on?



- Vinny Dias on Twitter posted [yesterday] about a HUGE TRADE BREWING. Some comments linked it to Buffalo. Neither Vinny nor the commentators have any evidence of credibility.



- Got more fuel by cryptic Tweets by Tim Graham [Bills beat] and some other legit NFL sources...none of which directly linked Buffalo other than the Tim Graham connection. And now there seems to be more steam and Buffalo rumors in more legit circles coming out on twitter

Its pretty reasonable to think there is a potential big trade with the Bills trading into the top 4 of the draft as its been widely reported that Beane is trying to do just that from credible sources (and pretty obvious since we dont have a QB and didnt sign one either). So this all could be some tweets where people think its coming just off that basis and are trying to act like they knew something ahead of time. Or there might really be something to it and its a bigger trade than just a trade up (which would still be a big trade if its just another trade up).

At this point, take everything with a grain of salt and just enjoy the fact that everyones boring Wed has a little more intrigue. Personally, I do think something is coming based on real NFL insiders kind of alluding to it, but all I expect is that its Beane leveraging our newly acquired #12th pick to get into the top 5 of the draft as he is clearly going after a QB given we dont have one."

Ouch, Incarcerated Bob has failed so many times with rumor Knicks trades, but that being said, it makes since for the Browns 4th pick to be in play with the Bills conditional perhaps on Barkley not being there on Draft Day.

Spot on, Gettlemen will be fired before he's on his third season in that scenario. For the trade down/Barkley crowd can I ask you a question, do the names Drew Lock, Clayton Thornson, or Jacob Eason or Jarret Stidham excite you? Assuming Webb is a clipboard holder, which unfortunately is where his odds stand, do those 4 names make you think franchise qb.

Drew Lock went back to school this year because he was projected to be. 4th round or later pick in 2018; Clayton Thornson was aggressively medicore before a gruesome injury, and for those of you concerned with Rosen's and his "history", Thornson will turn your hair white; Jacob Eason was beat out by a decent freshmen, and never again threatened for the job; and Jarret Stidham is a system qb with limited arm strength. So I ask all of you are those names you want to trade up for in 2019? Because there isn't a single top 10 pick at qb in 2019. 2020 isn't far better either. Also, do not start your sentence with "we don't know about those drafts", because if you watch any college fb, then you should have an idea. And, if there happens to be a late riser, than those of you concerned with bust status should have your alarm bells go off, late risers have the highest bust potential- Mark Sanchez, Jeff George, Blake Bortles, Christian Ponder- guys that had limited success in college and were taken high.

You don't force a pick this year just because you don't like the crop at the position next year. If you take a QB at 2, it better be because you think he has perennial all-pro talent.

To me any trade that doesn't include the 2019 first rounder doesn't make sense. They need a franchise QB but we need one soon as well. I'm fine with kicking the can (for a price), but that price is that we need to be positioned in 2019 to actually get that franchise QB.

The scenario is that Buffalo takes that franchise QB (probably Josh Allen), and he starts, likely early...Nathan Peterman is the only current QB on their roster. They already missed out on Sam Bradford and Case Keenum, and even if they were interested in Bridgewater he's going to the Jets. So it's highly likely the Bills are going to not win a lot of games next year...you're going to want that pick, which could be in the top 3 or 5 picks.

Any deal has to include that 2019 first rounder, which I think is THE most important pick in the deal. If it were me I'd say your two firsts this year, one 2nd rounder this year, and next year's first. That's the deal.

Like it or not, there is such a thing as positional value. Kareem Hunt and Kamara went in the 3rd round last year, for example. You simply do not need to draft a guy like Barkley at 2, I don't care what his skill set is, because you can get a reasonable facsimile of the guy later on.

Teams reach for QBs all the time due to positional scarcity and importance. You could argue "franchise" QBs aren't even pro-bowlers, let alone all-pros as just about any average QB is going to get paid when their contract is up (see Cousins, Smith, etc).

I agree with this.



When would you like him to post a draft pick trade?? The bye week?


I think that was over your head but given what others have said about OP, I'll retract. I was skeptical because I don't think anything would happen before draft day in any trade not involving the #1 overall pick. It isn't unprecedented, though. Chargers made a pre-draft trade in 1998 to move up to #2 and was willing to take whoever the Colts didn't want out of Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf, and we all know the rest of that story. I highly, highly doubt that Buffalo would complete a trade with anyone but the Browns or Giants prior to draft day, though. If they trade with the Giants prior to draft day, it probably means that they have two quarterbacks that they like and are good with whoever is there at #2.

But seems like OP is a good poster so he probably does deserve more leeway.

Perhaps, but "Reach" is a media/talking head and fan term.

No "football person" drafts a player at #2 overall, at any position, that they don't think will be a perennial all-pro.

Period.

you will never convince me otherwise, that a team picks a player at #2 overall and thinks "we think this guy can be average for us and we need a QB"

that's maybe how fans view it or Mel Kiper views it, it's not how the people making the pick view it.

What was Rosen considered after his 2016 season? Now to some he's the next Peyton Manning. He played 6 games in 2016 and was a 59.3% passer.

A lot can change in 1 year, especially with young QBs that are still developing and growing as players. Ryan Finley is a guy to watch next year. Out of NC State. 65% passer in 2017 and a 17-6 TDs to INTs. I like him and think he's going to be even better in 2018.

I agree, and I said nothing to the contrary. I was not advocating for any specific position at #2 over another, only that whoever the GM drafts at #2 overall they have an expectation the player will excel in the NFL ("become a perennial all-pro").

So was another random scrub the Cardinals ran out there around the same time, Max Hall.

Here's a blast from the past - Stan Gelbaugh, proud possessor of a 1-11 record as an NFL starter. 10 TDs/22 INTs. Kelly Stouffer was actually the sixth overall pick in the 1987 draft, was 5-11 as starter, 7 TDs/16 INTs.

Rick Mirer wasn't quite as bad as the guys we've been talking about, but what is amazing is how many games he managed to start despite being awful.

Look, you can't have it both ways? Winning teams can draft for the future. Losing teams draft to build. We are a losing team that thinks (at least by all indications) that it can be a winning team quickly. They seem to believe that ELI is the guy. Then to me, you need to load up on positions and players that you can't fill in FA that will contribute NOW. A QB at 2 will not contribute now.

The way we seem to be going (all in with Eli) means a QB at #2 makes no sense. We have a shit Oline even with Solder. We need more. We have 2 WR's, one who may holdout and is coming off injury. We have to rebuild our line and we need to acquire bodies at WR, CB, LB...

I am not opposed to a QB at #2 if we go with plan to build a line for the long term and we make sense of what we are doing. BUt, going heavy after Solder and looking to get Eli set for the next two years means we can't waste 1 of our 5 picks on a guy who isn't going to play or contribute this year.

pjcas18 : 3/14/2018 3:12 pm : link
and he was terrible, but he was never as bad as Nathan Peterman from what I recall (in Peterman's debut).

And Lindley only started I think because of injury but that year but the Cardinals had a litany of shitty QB's. Lindley, Skelton (Skelton or Shelton?), Kolb and more.

The Bills benched Tyrod Taylor for this clown.

at #2 overall that you don't think has perennial all-pro talent.

I mean isn't the point of the draft? You take the best player available at a position you need and when you're picking 2 overall, whether it's a QB, RB, OL, whatever, you probably have to believe that player is a perennial all-pro.

only things in the NFL don't always work out as you hope.



Look, you can't have it both ways? Winning teams can draft for the future. Losing teams draft to build. We are a losing team that thinks (at least by all indications) that it can be a winning team quickly. They seem to believe that ELI is the guy. Then to me, you need to load up on positions and players that you can't fill in FA that will contribute NOW. A QB at 2 will not contribute now.

The way we seem to be going (all in with Eli) means a QB at #2 makes no sense. We have a shit Oline even with Solder. We need more. We have 2 WR's, one who may holdout and is coming off injury. We have to rebuild our line and we need to acquire bodies at WR, CB, LB...

I am not opposed to a QB at #2 if we go with plan to build a line for the long term and we make sense of what we are doing. BUt, going heavy after Solder and looking to get Eli set for the next two years means we can't waste 1 of our 5 picks on a guy who isn't going to play or contribute this year.


What are you talking about? Did you read my post?

All I said was in response to the guy who said if you take a QB at #2 overall you better hope he's a perennial all-pro that whoever you take at #2 overall, regardless of position, you as a GM and a FO more than likely think the player is a perennial all-pro.

Other than that I have no idea what your post is arguing.

Would much rather trade back to 5 or 6.  
Boy Cord : 3/14/2018 3:31 pm : link
Still get a haul. Although, Giants may like the OG pool in the early 20s, which is enticing.
Just to give an idea  
allstarjim : 3/14/2018 3:32 pm : link
of what that trade might look like in this draft:

At 12 you have a shot at Derwin James, Denzel Ward, Roquan Smith (I think Smith won't get past the Raiders at 10, though) or Mike McGlinchey (I still would have no problem drafting him even with the addition of Solder).

Come back at 22 and the guy I'm circling his name big time is Isaiah Wynn or perhaps a CB if I didn't get one at 12 like Carlton Davis.

Then at the top of round 2 at 34 overall I like Billy Price, maybe James Daniels. Marcus Davenport could be there, even. If I haven't grabbed a corner yet Jaire Alexander could be in play.

Then at #53 overall, which would be one of Buffalo's 2nd rounders, I want Rashaad Penny or Nick Chubb. If I didn't get a C earlier I like Frank Ragnow an awful lot, he can also play Guard. Braden Smith, great OG out of Auburn, also a strong choice. Consolation prizes would be Sam Hubbard, Lorenzo Carter, or Derek Nnadi, who to me would be a great interior pass rusher, can be a pass-rushing nose on passing downs to spell Harrison, and/or can play on the end in a 3-4.

Then at the top of round 3 I really like Armani Watts at FS. I think Bettcher would love this guy. If I miss on him Equanimeous St. Brown, but a guy I really like and don't want to gamble on waiting to round 4 is Tre'Quan Smith, WR out of UCF. He's one of my big value picks in this draft. Perhaps Tyrell Crosby or Kolton Miller slips here although I don't think so.

Then you still are going to have two first rounders next year, with high potential that one or both of them will be high first round picks, but now you have an influx of talent so if you can grab your franchise QB next year, he already has a rebuilt O-line and some young talent entering their 2nd year to work with. That would be 5 picks inside of the top 66 overall picks of the draft, and you hope you have 5 good players to add to your team before you even get to the 4th round.

I'm guessing you haven't heard any particulars like picks/players coming back?

Its just odd timing because what is the incentive for the Giants unless the Bills just blew them away with any offer they couldn't refuse and the giants wanted to start scouting players in the middle of the 1st round which they might not have been doing as heavily before?

I get it from the bills prospective...lock the #2 pick so you know you are at least getting one of the top 2 QB's...but for the Giants to do it there would have to be a ridiculous amount of value coming whether its picks/players.

Giantimistic : 3/14/2018 4:03 pm : link
Our problems are because of bad drafting and the best way to fix our problem is through good drafts--not free agency, but we are not going to do that with 5 draft picks. Although the second pick could be tremendous, we may be better off fixing the entire team with extra high picks this year and next year.

I want Barkley at 2, but I think we may benefit more with a draft haul as long as we actually start making good draft picks.
also agree its weird timing  
DaddyM89 : 3/14/2018 4:03 pm : link
thats what makes me think that they'd have to be blown away, and worry maybe the colts would take a similar package instead if they don't jump on it. Keep in mind the year rams and eagles traded up neither was on draft night. Rams were about 2 weeks before and eagles were about a week before. Granted not as far out as this but if it's something too good to pass up they probably pounce on it.

def sounds plausible (I would hope to scratch out both there seconds along with both 1sts and there 2019 1st. I would want to obliterate the trade value chart because it would be for a QB.

But from the looks of it Mara/Gettleman want to compete and these FA moves seems to align with giving Eli another year or two run at this. So from that prospective a trade down acquiring a trove of picks would make sense to help address a lot of our issues. I personally wouldn't do it. But the direction from the owner/GM point that would align with what they seem to be wanting to do.
i am against trading down but..

If that's the return, I almost think you HAVE to do it. Especially if you aren't sold on the QBs. No way an RB prospect is worth giving up those picks either.
interesting  
Matt in SGS : 3/14/2018 4:11 pm : link
and thanks for passing along. I know it's tough to share info on BBI and not get backlash. That said, I find it strange the Giants would pull the trigger on a trade this big in mid March. Usually this would happen closer to the draft, so the only way I'd see this happening is if the following

- The Giants are not impressed with the QB crop to draft that high
- They don't want to pick a RB (Barkley) that high
- They realize they have lots of holes to fill and will spread the picks rather than hoping to hit a home run with #2
- The Giants are worried the Bills would make a similar deal with the Colts or Browns and wanted to strike before they move on.

If the deal doesn't include their next year #1, the Giants should hang up the phone.
If they do it, It better be an absolute haul.

If that is the trade or something similar. Could be looking at something like Denzel Ward and Mcglitchey in the 1st (still not sold on flowers think hell be gone after this year even moving to RT.) and then maybe a Guice for RB and then a good guard with the Bills 2nd rounder. You get a OT, OG, CB, and RB. That fills a ton of holes on the team.

Plus you still have two first rounders next year where I don't think BIllls will be that great with a rookie QB and an aging McCoy at RB.

Here's a question. If you want to protect your source, why share this allegedly sensitive info on an internet message board? Why do it??

You are betraying the confidence of somebody close to you. In order to...stir up discussion on a message board? Look like an insider for an audience of anonymous posters?

True or not, if you ever find yourself in possession of "insider info," Thrill Ride begs you to keep it private. Both for the sake of your relationship with source and also The Org's dealings.

Or it will be genius. Cowboys trade of Herschel Walker netted them Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson, and Russell Maryland (eventually, trading picks they received from Minnesota to maneuver). When you think about what 4 picks, 3 in the first two rounds, adding to our existing picks, and a 1st rounder next year, could potentially do...is set up the franchise for sustained success. Particularly if Buffalo's 2019 first rounder is parlayed into a franchise QB.

If we got that we could use one of the second round picks to jump back into the top 10 if we wanted to.


No thanks. If you trade down for a haul, maximize and use all the picks.

I have been absolutely swamped at work today. As others have mentioned, I have been a poster for almost 8 years and lurked for about 10 years before that. I have never posted fake news and have always tried to abide by BBIs rules. I've even written some articles for Eric in the past for BBI.

I understand with Asshat info it can either make or break a persons reputation (Hi Slade.) If it's wrong I will 100% man up and take my online beatings. I am standing by what I was told, and wanted to pass it along to BBI since I appreciate the community and all the breaking news so much. I personally am hoping it's wrong because I'm in the franchise QB or Barkley camp. But we should have some clarity about it soon.


I am all for it. Please share whatever you hear.

I was told it would be a haul. Probably similar to what we've been hearing around here for a potential trade. If I had to guess.

2 first rounders this year, 2nd rounder, 4th rounder, 2019 first rounder,


Thanks for the information. I'd still prefer not to drop to #12. Too much of a trade down. But that would be fair compensation.
I am sure this thread blew it up!

Or it will be genius. Cowboys trade of Herschel Walker netted them Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson, and Russell Maryland (eventually, trading picks they received from Minnesota to maneuver). When you think about what 4 picks, 3 in the first two rounds, adding to our existing picks, and a 1st rounder next year, could potentially do...is set up the franchise for sustained success. Particularly if Buffalo's 2019 first rounder is parlayed into a franchise QB.


And you know what the difference is? The Cowboys already had Aikman. They could afford to make that move and accumulate assets. If we already had a young franchise QB, I'd be in full favor of moving down and getting whatever we could for our pick.

You are betraying the confidence of somebody close to you. In order to...stir up discussion on a message board? Look like an insider for an audience of anonymous posters?

True or not, if you ever find yourself in possession of "insider info," Thrill Ride begs you to keep it private. Both for the sake of your relationship with source and also The Org's dealings.

Are you actually serious? Please get off your soapbox here. BBI did not "ruin" any great NYG draft strategy in 2016. The leaks were elsewhere, and ended up here as well. But you can believe what you want. Just stop preaching. Trynig to scare away info and discussion is NOT the point of the message board, Quite the contrary.

I disagree sammo. If we move down to 12...and then Nelson says slips past the jets @ 6...and you call the Bucs and offer #12 and #56 (acquired from the bills) to move up to #7 to pick nelson.

Then still have #22, #53, #121, and a there 2019 1st while still all our picks and acquiring nelson....that would fill a lot of issues and still get the lineman we coveted if thats our plan

Jordan is a great guy and an ethical writer. He might remember when someone on BBI posted a false rumor deliberately "just to see if it would enter the news cycle" ... and it did!!

One of the newspapers picked it up and the poster later confessed to the chicanery. Bad journalism is obviously a factor in the proliferation of leaks .

I don't know as much as the next guy what the giants feel internally about Webb but you seem to be writing him off pretty easily if the Giants like him enough to give him a go to replace Eli then we wouldn't at least have to worry about addressing QB until Eli retires and Webb proves he can't do it...its risky but we aren't there to know if Webb has the goods or not...its not like he was some undrafted FA he was a 3rd round pick.

My point has nothing to do with belief or disbelief. It is about discussion and conversation on all things Giants. Can you 100% disprove him, or do you just enjoy responding in absurd prose and trying to put down a poster that thought he had info the rest of us might enjoy discussing?

Stopping being an asshole. If you don't like the OP and the post, go elsewhere. The OP being right or wrong is almost irrelevant (being he's not Slade), it the discussions and banter about the Giants, not your feelings on information dissemination, that we are here for.

But we all appreciate your concern.

They're not making any major draft trades until draft day.


Umm... remind us again, when was it that the Bills completed a first round trade to obtain the 12th pick of this draft?

I’m not saying this trade rumor is valid. But your argument is demonstrably false.
Just came on BBI & scrolled through this thread,

DaddyM89 is a long time,reputable poster & I'm sure all of us get excited when we see "asshat"info.That being said,Gettleman said a while ago You don't get too cute with the #2 & you want to get a "HOF" type player with it. #12 is too far back I'm still in the franchise QB camp but would be okay w/Barkley. Don't see that happening at such a lower pick.But,this was fun to read through!

Both of their 1st round (12 and 22)

If we got that we could use one of the second round picks to jump back into the top 10 if we wanted to.


This will be a good point to look at as far as value. I know people don't necessarily go by the draft value chart, but for the sake of argument (since NFL teams have used it), let's look at the value.

The #2 pick in the draft is worth 2600 points

Per the grouping above-

#12- 1200
#22- 780
#53- 370
#56- 340

Total - 2690 points.

And that doesn't include the value of the 1st round pick next year for the Bills. Where if they win the Super Bowl and pick #32- 590 points.

So 3,280 points (assuming Bills win Super Bowl) to give up 2600 points.

Pure value, looking at the numbers, the Giants don't want a fair deal, they want a deal they will win. If that offer is on the table, based on the numbers, the Giants should do it.
Thrilly, serious question...

It's a three-team trade in which the Bills get the #2 pick and Ereck Flowers, the Giants get the #3 pick and #53 overall and the Colts get a ton of picks from the Bills.

The Browns take Darnold
The Bills take Allen
The Giants take Rosen
The Browns take Barkley
The Broncos take Mayfield

Missed the 4th- which is an extra 52 points.

Odds are the Giants would have to send something back, like their own 4th or whatever. A 4th won't make or break it either way.

The Thrill Ride has been posting on this site for 34 years. And lurking for 10 minutes prior to that.

This same cycle happens every offseason. Gloved one. Slade. Coach Justy. LimerickGuy. Its a master class in hucksterism. I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook and by gummit it put them on the map!

These guys. The insider info. Either they are a) making it up (almost always), or b) betraying a source

Sooooo YUP, sorry DaddyM. Thrillson Phillips is calling you out on either purposefully sharing false bs and/or needlessly violating the confidence of a friend. The Thrill appreciates how you copied page 1 of LimerickGuy's textbook with the whole "if I'm wrong, I'll be a man and admit it." Wow, such integrity. So much integrity. "Here is sensitive information that I'm sharing without permission, if it's bs I'll cop to it ...because I AM A MAN."

Latimer - you might be a reasonable bro, bro. Do you think DaddyM's source would approve of this thread?

And yes, rumors often start on message boards (or some corner of the internet) and fester into twitter and climb the latter of visibility. The internet is not a sacred or hidden palace.

THRILL LOVES YOUR STYLE BRO.

Here's a question. If you want to protect your source, why share this allegedly sensitive info on an internet message board? Why do it??

You are betraying the confidence of somebody close to you. In order to...stir up discussion on a message board? Look like an insider for an audience of anonymous posters?

True or not, if you ever find yourself in possession of "insider info," Thrill Ride begs you to keep it private. Both for the sake of your relationship with source and also The Org's dealings.

Leaks a couple seasons ago caused us to get jumped for Jack Conklin and wind up with Eli Apple.

the thought that a GM of some other team is going to use this post to formulate some sort of draft strategy is both ludicrous and laughable



SONIC YOUT

THRILL loves your style, Broseph Gordon-Levitt.

That's amazing that you used two adjectives, ludicrous and laughable, to describe one statement. And both those words start with the letter "L". Oh my stars, what a wordsmith!

Try to follow Thrilly Bob Thornton on this very simple journey:

-Beat writers read message boards (they do_
-They contact their sources to chase leads
-Smoke
-Fire
-The alleged insider info surfaces on Twitter

You might believe it is laughable, ludicrous, leviticus, litigious, linsane but the internet is a powerful machine.



jordan raanan must love all those juicy tid-bits Slade has been dropping him. no wonder the giants are such a mess..



Jordan is a great guy and an ethical writer. He might remember when someone on BBI posted a false rumor deliberately "just to see if it would enter the news cycle" ... and it did!!

One of the newspapers picked it up and the poster later confessed to the chicanery. Bad journalism is obviously a factor in the proliferation of leaks .

LarmarTRX and Daddy, the name "NoGainDayne" is a playful reference to a running back from the early 2000s named Ron Dayne. Despite being the 11th overall pick in 2000 (Thrill's 10th season on BBI), he often struggled to gain yardage (career ypc 3.8). According to Sonic Youth -- a name that refers to his knack for saying words out loud to himself before he clicks 'submit' - "Dayne" and "Gain" are two words that rhyme, thus completing the satirical circle.

(1) Unless DaddyM89 was specifically told not to say anything by his source, then he hasn't betrayed him or her by revealing the information here or anywhere else on the Internet. And if the source didn't want the information revealed, then he or she wouldn't have disclosed it to anyone.

(2) This proposed trade has been rumored for weeks, and is currently being discussed on bulletin boards all over the Internet, including those catering to Bills fans.

(3) Everybody knew we wanted Conklin or Floyd. That information was also all over the Internet. Discussing it on BBI had no impact on what happened on draft night.

I am standing by what I was told, and wanted to pass it along to BBI since I appreciate the community and all the breaking news so much. I personally am hoping it's wrong because I'm in the franchise QB or Barkley camp. But we should have some clarity about it soon.

Ohh, a Milton double feature - trade Flowers AND get Rosen! Why not make it a five team trade which also results in the Yankees getting Gerrit Cole so you can get all of your obsessions into one post?



That is ridiculous ... we would have to add more to that deal to Cole on the Yankees.

of what that trade might look like in this draft:

At 12 you have a shot at Derwin James, Denzel Ward, Roquan Smith (I think Smith won't get past the Raiders at 10, though) or Mike McGlinchey (I still would have no problem drafting him even with the addition of Solder).

Come back at 22 and the guy I'm circling his name big time is Isaiah Wynn or perhaps a CB if I didn't get one at 12 like Carlton Davis.

Then at the top of round 2 at 34 overall I like Billy Price, maybe James Daniels. Marcus Davenport could be there, even. If I haven't grabbed a corner yet Jaire Alexander could be in play.

Then at #53 overall, which would be one of Buffalo's 2nd rounders, I want Rashaad Penny or Nick Chubb. If I didn't get a C earlier I like Frank Ragnow an awful lot, he can also play Guard. Braden Smith, great OG out of Auburn, also a strong choice. Consolation prizes would be Sam Hubbard, Lorenzo Carter, or Derek Nnadi, who to me would be a great interior pass rusher, can be a pass-rushing nose on passing downs to spell Harrison, and/or can play on the end in a 3-4.

Then at the top of round 3 I really like Armani Watts at FS. I think Bettcher would love this guy. If I miss on him Equanimeous St. Brown, but a guy I really like and don't want to gamble on waiting to round 4 is Tre'Quan Smith, WR out of UCF. He's one of my big value picks in this draft. Perhaps Tyrell Crosby or Kolton Miller slips here although I don't think so.

Then you still are going to have two first rounders next year, with high potential that one or both of them will be high first round picks, but now you have an influx of talent so if you can grab your franchise QB next year, he already has a rebuilt O-line and some young talent entering their 2nd year to work with. That would be 5 picks inside of the top 66 overall picks of the draft, and you hope you have 5 good players to add to your team before you even get to the 4th round.

Excellent scenario

+2.
I mentioned earlier in the thread using the draft value chart  
Matt in SGS : 3/15/2018 9:58 am : link
which, yes teams do still use or some variation of it.

For the #2 pick, to trade out of that spot, the Giants aren't looking for an even trade or a fair trade. That stuff can happen when swapping around 4th or 5th round picks.

For the #2 pick, any team will have to basically blow the doors off to get the Giants attention.

I don't doubt that teams are approaching the Giants about a trade. And it would make sense that the Bills will be talking to every team in the top 5 to get their QB, with the Giants being an obvious target.

However, while I think it would be strange for a team to execute a trade like this before the individual workouts are completed, when I looked back, the infamous RG III trade took place on March 12, 2012, just before the start of the league year.

So it wouldn't be out of the realm for a large similar trade (which is what this would be the equivalent) as the Redskins traded up to the #2 pick from the Rams, but they had #6 overall. The Bills have more work to do to make this happen.

Snyder may be a fool, but have to remember that Mike Holgren at the time was running the Browns and whined that he would have beaten the 'Skins offer if the Rams had given them the chance. Rams told teams to make their best offers; 'Skins offered more than the Browns; and the Rams stuck to the proposal and would not listen to Browns' increased bid. [I am also old enough to remember that there were a heck of a lot of personnel men and sports writers who took the position that Leaf was a better prospect than Manning based on his upside potential being far greater.]
And with regard to the redskins trade if RG3

Never got hurt and continued to play like his rookie season that would have been a trade everyone would sign up for in a second. Remember how annoyed bbi was at the browns after the redskins beat us that year. We thought for sure that we would be second place to rg3 for the next decade. Football is a crazy sport man.
How about

a trade down, and grabbing Jackson in the middle of the first, then using the rest of the picks to stock up on talent.

Trade down for Jackson? How about no.
So shall we declare this rumor dead?

I mean it could be a wait until draft day deal, but still.
If DM89 turns out to be correct

All BBI'ers should assume the position:

It's already too late for it to be true.
The issue is the logic that it could have happened

Before people saw workouts of the quarterbacks and other top prospects at top of draft

Why would any team trade the option of being blown away at a workout?

It's already too late for it to be true.

One aspect may be wrong but the most important aspect is still viable which is the trade itself

At what point is it just a prediction?

Does it really bother you that much?

Right up until the second it happens

At what point is it a prediction?

Right afterwards when someone claims luck was wisdom

Not really, although I am in the camp that would only want a trade down if Rosen went #1 to the Browns. So if Rosen goes number one and the Giants follow up by trading down with Buffalo for a boatload of picks, does DaddyM get credit for inside info?

I'm well, thanks, hope you are, too.

p.s.--I don't think DaddyM's pulling anyone's leg and I think he truly believes he has (or had) a scoop, but in fairness to asshats past, present, and future, I think you only get credit if you deliver on your claim (and DaddyM's claim was that it would be announced in "a few hours"). Short of that it comes under the heading of educated guess (even if it was sincere).
