A bit of scoop on the Bills interest in Josh Allen

Anakim : 4/11/2018 12:13 pm
Crazy tidbit on @sticktofootball this morning (excellent podcast, BTW):

Josh Allen could go #1, but if he doesn't, the Bills could be looking at packaging six (6!!!) picks to move up to #2 to grab him.

#12

is pretty far to drop, but that would certainly be intriguing. You could also then trade at least one of those picks to get back into the top 10. Wow.

I listen to it on my Smart TV on TuneIn, so no
It would be very hard to turn down  
ZogZerg : 4/11/2018 12:17 pm : link
2 #1s (and not bad ones)
2 #2s
2 #3s

for ONE pick. The Giants would then have:

2 #1s
3 #2s
4 #3s

9 picks in the first 2 days!

As for the deal, what the six picks are matter.

Assume you're getting 12 and 22 and one of their twos.

A future first and other late rd picks?

Or is it 12, 22, two 2s and two 3s.

I mean, boy it would be hard to turn that down.
You can certainly trade up from #12  
AnnapolisMike : 4/11/2018 12:21 pm : link
especially if you where given the ammunition to do so.

Draft day will be fun...
This was always going to be the price to move up  
blueblood : 4/11/2018 12:22 pm : link
I always thought it was going to be either both the 1,2,3's this year or Both 1's, a #2m maybe a #3, and a #1 next year..


Id go for the package this year.. We could really bolster the roster on the offensive and defensive lines this year with the outstanding depth an interior line and DT as well...
Four number 1s  
Oscar : 4/11/2018 12:23 pm : link
And the Giants really cant say no.

#12, #22, 2019 and 2020. Plus a couple lower round picks. The Bills have not moved up this far to miss out on their guy. I would be thrilled if it went this way.
Im in favor of a trade with the Bills  
bigbluehoya : 4/11/2018 12:23 pm : link
So long as the haul includes both 2018 #1s and the 2019 #1. The Bills have no proven NFL QB on the roster. They look primed to throw a rookie straight into the fire. That 2019 #1 could be real gold.

There are some nice players available for us right now at #2 overall, but given the orgs insistence on giving Eli some more runway, I think cashing in to stockpile some more ammo, while also getting a potential blue chip pick for next year, is a really solid plan.

The number of picks is tempting...  
Chris684 : 4/11/2018 12:25 pm : link
But I really don't want out of the top 7.

There's 4 QBs + Barkley, Chubb, Nelson.

I want one of those guys in round 1.

Maybe if Buffalo can get TB to bite on a move back for #12 and a combination of their #2's and #3's.

Then Buffalo is at 7, they can give us #7 and #22 and a 2019 1st.

So if this were true, At #2 the Giants would draft Darnold if the Browns took Allen,as Darnold is rumored to be the only QB they'd draft at #2 (who knows?) or they'd trade w/the Bills!
You can deal back up  
AcesUp : 4/11/2018 12:29 pm : link
It's not as difficult to move up as it is to move back once the QBs are off the board. If you don't like the QBs and the Bills are offering + value for that pick, you have to take it. You then have the equity to do whatever the hell you want at the top of the draft. I'd prefer a more fluid approach to the draft than what Reese has done in the past.

I like Chubb/Barkley better, but Nelson or Fitzpatrick would be a nice consolation prize.

Buffalo would really have to offer something nearly impossible to pass up for Gettleman to pull the trigger, IMO.

The "gold jacket" prospects are probably going to all be off the board by 12. I think Gettleman is intent on taking one of these players.
I would prefer  
Rjanyg : 4/11/2018 12:31 pm : link
Both of this years number ones and, 2 number 2's and next years 1st round pick.

That would be the best deal.

That would give us
2 1st
3 2nd
2 3rd

And we would have 2 1st rounders next year.

Trainmaster : 4/11/2018 12:32 pm : link
+1

The Bills need to get a top 6 overall pick to add to the package or I say no.

Only if there is a future year Kings Ransom such as the Bills first rounder in 2019 and 2020 in addition to both first rounders this year.

I don't know if there is a Gold Jacket guy there. The QB's are inflated, Barkley plays a position few last for a long time at and carry a high injury risk, Chubb is a good player but not necessarily a game changer.

Nelson and Fitzpatrick are both going to be gone by 12 too.

I'm fairly confident one of these guys (at least) is going to go on to have a great NFL career.

Moving out of the top 10 takes us out of the mix for these Tier 1 players.

Sure, it's always possible that the pundits are wrong about these guys but I would need a huge, huge haul to move all the way down to 12 from 2.

You're taking this gold jacket line too literally.

Chris684 : 4/11/2018 12:46 pm : link
While I'm not super high on the QBs, odds favor that at least 1 or 2 of them will be very good/great.

IF Barkley is as good as they say he is, even a shorter career can be impactful a la Terrell Davis.

As far as Nelson, Sy (not a knock on him) is just about the only scout I've read or heard who doesnt love him and think all-pro is his floor.

Agreed on Chubb, I don't believe he's in the elite tier of prospects but maybe a cut below. However, he is the highest rated 2 way DE.
I think its funny that that for many people  
blueblood : 4/11/2018 12:48 pm : link
the draft is only like 6 players deep.

There are Quality players that might be available @ 12

Roquan Smith, Marcus Davenport, Derwin James, Denzel Ward could all be available @ 12 and we have a need at all those positions. Tremaine Edwards on an outside chance could be there. Vita Vea.. also

The Giants might be better served getting several GOOD players and depth..

I don't think I am.

He's made it clear that the goal is to get an elite player here - regardless of what position they play.

The odds of that are quite a bit slimmer if we take ourselves out of the running for all 4 QB's, Chubb, Barkley, Nelson, and Fitzpatrick.

I would bet on every single one of them being off the board by 12. It's a big risk to move down 10 spots like that.
No, one of those picks

You are NOT stuck picking at #12. The Bills location at #12 should not be a major factor if the package of picks is sweet enough.

I understand, I just look at our group and we are way way thin. I think building a solid foundation now (look at Giants 86 and 89 drafts where we picked up the core of the team for years there. **I realize we had a lot of good players already but 86 draft alone produced:

Dorsey, Collins, Johnson, Lasker, Washington and Howard

89

Williams, Jackson, Guyton, Kratch, Tillman and Cross...
Bills are fawning over this guy  
fanofthejets : 4/11/2018 1:02 pm : link
But he also has the reddest of red flags with his inaccuracy and that's something that doesn't tend to improve once you make it to the pros. But he's got the work ethic, the arm talent, the size and athleticism, the smarts. This would be a fanatical "all in" move. I don't think he'll ever be a bust but rather a middle of the road QB who frustratingly never hits his ceiling. A better Jeff George (without the attitude issues)
This is like one of those Sci-Fi/Fantasy stories...  
Jim in Tampa : 4/11/2018 1:03 pm : link
Where you can escape from Hell if you can find some sucker to take your place.

Bills are in QB hell and they obviously want out.

The Giants will take their place if they fall for this deal and pass on the QB.
If the Giants are zeroed in on Darnold or Rosen,  
Brown Recluse : 4/11/2018 1:04 pm : link
I don't believe there is anything the Bills can offer them to move out of that spot. If you really believe that player is your franchise QB - there isn't anything worth giving up for him.

Otherwise, I'd take a really strong deal (6 picks?) and move back. We've gotten some really great players outside of the top 10, and at that point I'd be looking to load up.
I guess you'd want his arm up North in the cold

ThatLimerickGuy : 4/11/2018 1:16 pm : link
I still don't make a deal.

If Darnold goes first and the Bills offer 3 first round picks and a 2nd rounder (12 in 2018, 22 in 2018, 1st in 2019, 2nd in 2019), then I am doing that in a heartbeat.

There is always going to be another Chubb, Barkley, Fitzpatrick or Nelson next year and I'm underwhelmed by Rosen, Allen and Mayfield.
If they aren't sold on a QB or Barkley  
UberAlias : 4/11/2018 1:22 pm : link
They might as well. I don't see Chubb/Nelson as franchise altering players. If we're going to get a good player, I'd rather get a good player and a bunch of picks.

Bills' fans are as obsessed as any and this isn't a tickle at Two Bills Drive.

Anything can happen but the talking heads will be filling air space from now to the draft and there is nothing to suggest that this is an advance of the ball.

and

2019 1st rounder

this would probably get the deal done for me if Darnold went #1 and the Bills wanted to jump to #2 for Allen.
