    What if we don't pick at 11?

    What about higher?



    I keep thinking that it's going to be stupid to pick one of these receivers at 11 and that we need to trade down. But if everyone wants to trade down, do we leverage that into a good deal to trade up and abandon the receiver plan?

    I love some of the comments below the post.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see a team or two in the top 6 pass when it’s their turn to draft.

      I think the only way the Bills trade down is if:

      1. McFadden falls to 11. I think Detroit or someone would want to trade up before the Panthers pick I believe at 13 or someone else trades up at the twelve spot.

      2. If there is a run at the OT or CB positions before the Bills pick and there's only one left at 11.

      3. Matt Ryan slips and people believe the Vikings or Panthers might take him with the next picks.

      I don't think anyone is going to be dying to get the eleven pick unless there's one of these sets of circumstances. This is a pretty deep draft, and I believe most teams will want to have as many early to mid round picks as possible.

        I know there's been talk about us trading down here and there, but I'm talking about OTHER teams wanting to trade down and us trading up.

          You also gotta find someone willing and wanting to move UP.

            The Bills should be trading up, not down.

            Trading down will never happen.

                Moving up out of our 2nd round pick to grab a WR would make sense.

                  Bills should not move up in rd 1 from #11. However, moving up from #41 to late first is a definite possibility.

                    i dont think the #11 pick goes anywhere, but i wouldnt be suprosed to see up move back up into the late first

                      I heard McFadden was a gay crack smoker. Not that there is anything wrong with either.

                        I would trade up for Dorsey or Ellis if either fell to the Bengals.

                              why not? if you have 2 or 3 guys rated equally all the way around, why not let the next team pick ahead of you and then get your guy at the lower slot, lower salary
