I've been crossing my fingers that Geno Smith somehow slips to us at #8.
Over the last few weeks there have been a lot of likely smokescreens thrown up (Jacksonville, Philadelphia), but I've always believed the key to Smith falling would be with Oakland. If Carson Palmer agrees to restructure his deal, he's back in a Raider uniform next year. If he doesn't, Palmer likely gets cut and Oakland is left with only Terrell Pryor on the roster.
According to this article, Palmer is "highly unlikely" to redo his deal. Which probably means that Oakland targets Smith. Which means that Buffalo would have to trade up to #1 or #2 to land him.
I'm also of the opinion that Buffalo is drafting a QB at #8, no matter what.
I think Buddy is making his list of 2-3 quarterbacks, and he will take the top guy left on his board.
