Coming for a QB.

buffalo doesn't have a 6th rounder..

but the move from #12 to #21 is worth about 400 points on the trade chart or #50 pick. that seems pretty high.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

That chart is outdated. The Bengals did well.

You can't wait for a QB to drop to you. If you want one, you have to trade up.

many recent trades still match up pretty well with it, no?

They do but teams have developed their own value scale. I love how the newer GM's realize that draft picks are easily replaced and can be used to get established talent via trade.

Damn good trade by Beane. The man has a vision, and is executing it with precision. What a breath of fresh air given the GMs Buffalo has had in the past.

I love the trade for both sides.

Glenn is a high quality left tackle and the Bengals get him by only moving down 9 spots.

Meanwhile the Bills already have his replacement on a rookie contract and get to not only clear the contract but also get halfway to where they want to end up in the draft without using any of the extra picks they’ve amassed in the first three rounds.

It’s the definition of a win/win.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Interesting move. Is 12 high enough to get them a QB?

Denver, the Jets, Cleveland, and now potentially Miami are all in the mix for one of those QB prospects.

Yeah but wouldn't a high end LT be beneficial to a young QB surrounded by miserable receivers?

Josh Allen is the Bills guy.

Getting a pick that high is probably enough to get Indy to listen.

He hasn’t been their Lt since September. He was hurt all year and Dawkins took the job. He’s missed a lot of games the last two years and makes a lot of money to play RT

 

[Ace]

Josh Allen is the Bills guy.

I do not believe so.

At all.

Looks like that's exactly what it is;

This is pretty clearly the first of two trade ups. Maybe even three if they get to 3 and they give the giants something to flip to 2 if they don’t want QB.

It took two trades for Philly 2 years ago to get to 2. Buffalo got halfway and still have an extra 1, 2 and 3rd round pick this year.

At all.

Just watch.

 

[Troy McClure]

For all the worry about these QBs not being perfect prospects, it sure looks like several teams are eagerly competing for them. I guess what we don’t know is how many of them teams think are worth chasing and which guys it is they love.

 

[What the Faulk]

The Bills are going to end up with the Andrew Luck model - a franchise QB with no talent around him.

I imagine Mr Beane is on the phone with Chris Ballard right now.
