    This should be the board if the team isn't completely incompetent

    1. Dareus.
    2. Miller.
    3. If both are gone, make an incredibly uneven trade in the Bills' favor with a team willing to give up the farm for Newton or Gabbert.

    My list consists of 3 names for our pick at 3. Miller, Dareus, and Gabbert. Would I have a problem with Newton, Peterson, or Green? No. But I like those 3 names the best for us.

      If you were another GM would you make an incredible uneven trade in the Bills favor to get a QB and pay them multimillions of dollars to potentially bust out? I wouldn't either.

          It happens all the time. Teams are willing to make a seemingly uneven trade to get a player that they really covet. Buffalo has all the leverage in that scenario.

            Please show me the last time a team made an "incredibly uneven trade".

              Now, of course, we're talking only draft picks here, but it happens.

                  Think of how much Buffalo and Cleveland gave up to get back into the 1st Round (in the 20's, which is obviously much less valuable than a top-3 pick) to get Losman and Quinn, respectively.

                      There is only one small issue with that. Although 1 and 2 are pretty sound, with both Gabbert, and Newton sitting there at 3, your not likely to find you a trade partner. The draft at the top end is too well stocked with talent. It would make trading out of 3 almost impossible. In my opinion, the only shot the Bills have of trading out of 3 is if Newton gets selected number 1 overall, and that would be if Denver didn't beat us to the punch first.

                        If someone really wants Newton, they'll have to trade up to 3, because he is not getting past Cincinnati at 4 or Arizona at 5.

                          In 1999 the Saints traded all of their picks to Washington to get Ricky Williams at #5. I would say Washington got the better side of that deal.

                            There was the time the Saints traded their whole draft for Ricky Williams.
                            Also how about the trades the Bills made for McCargo and Losman?

                            I think the board should be like this:

                            1. Dareus
                            2. Trade down, take Cam Jordan or JJ Watt and get extra picks
                            3. If no trade can be made take Miller

                              I can guarantee you that will never happen again though.
