    Make them an offer they can't refuse.

    What should happen:
    Buffalo should do WHATEVER it takes to move up from #3 or #4 to get Andrew Luck. There are reports today that Harbaugh will be leaving Stanford for either the 49ers or Broncos, I can't see any way Luck won't leave for the draft. I don't care what kind of overpayment it takes. Luck is the biggest blue-chip QB to come out since Matt Ryan. Find a way to get it done and build around the kid. That is the BEST way to reverse the fortunes of this franchise.

    What probably WILL happen:
    With the 4th pick in the draft, the Bills select: QB Cam Newton

    Morons.

        No way. Take who we can at 3 or 4, whether or not Luck drops to us. If we should've learned anything from the TD era, trading up is a terrible idea.

          No, they are Morons based on the last 11 years.

          I'm just following the pattern.

              Really? Tell that to the New York Giants. Eli has a Super Bowl.

              The 4th overall pick won't change the future of the franchise. Andrew Luck is the only pick in the top 5 that can possibly do that.

                I'm not a fan. I'm an observer. I don't expect them to do the right thing and I won't be disappointed when they don't. BUt i'm still right.

                  Trading up isn't necessarily a bad idea, as long as you take the right prospect. The Jets are evidence of that.

                  If Luck does come out, I have little doubt Carolina would take him, even if we offered them everyone on our team and every draft pick we had. The only slight chance we'd have that they don't want him is that their owner doesn't want to pay the money. People may think Ralph is cheap, but he looks like a wife on a spending spree compared to Carolina's owner.

                      Part of the 'moronic' has been trading up or trading away picks for Bledsoe, Johnson, McGahee, McCargo, Losman, etc.

                        I agree with you on that. There may not be ANY offer that convinces them to move down, and I don't blame them.


                        Clausen hasn't shown anything really, and with them getting a new coach, they will probably want to pick their own guy anyway.

                        I have zero doubt Luck goes #1 to someone though.

                          This team has way too many holes to expect one guy to make that kind of difference.

                            Yes it is.

                            But MOVING UP isn't the problem... it's WHO THEY PICK that is.

                            Had they taken
                            Nnamdi Asomugha instead of McGahee
                            Steven Jackson instead of Losman
                            Mathias Kiwanuka or Nck Mangold instead of McCargo

                            You wouldn't complain about the cost of moving up now.....

                              Well by that logic we shouldn't even bother drafting...... but i'm just telling you what they SHOULD do.

                              Luck fills the biggest and most important of all the needs. I know it hurts to give up assets to get him, but you NEED to change this franchises fortunes.

                              It might mean not improving immediately... but you take him and build around him in FA, draft and so on a few more years and I think you are suddenly a much much better team.

                              The biggest issue with this team if you ask me is settling for "filling holes" and trying to patch together a team instead of making a huge game changing move.
