Bills trying to move up?

[GingerP]

From Dan Pompeii:

Word from the NFL meetings is the Texans are trying hard to deal the first pick in the draft. They want to move down and acquire extra selections. Sources say they might have a trade partner in the Bills, who appear interested in moving up. It is unclear who the Bills would want in a trade-up scenario. Some believe they would move up for a quarterback. They also could make good use of an offensive tackle such as Greg Robinson. And it would be something to see them pair Mario Williams with either Jadeveon Clowney or Khalil Mack.

Moving up likely will require not only picks in this draft but maybe next years 1st as well. Surprised the Bills would do that, but you never know.

That would be a surprise, if the conventional wisdom holds that with rookies being cheap to employ, the more the merrier.

Still, BUF has made numerous surprise moves and picks in the past, at least in my opinion.

If they traded up and took Greg Robinson YUCK.

I don't buy that at all! I really don't see us doing that.

Re: Bills trying to move up?

I too think we value our draft picks more than this. But if the Bills feel they have a can't miss prospect go for it. It would be a QB though… too much risk there. If you're making this move it's for a sure thing.

Get Johnny Football already. Lets just do it.

It'd be Clowney, we have a 4-3 D missing a DE.

this board's traffic would go up 5x overnight. Whatever your opinion of Manziel is he would NOT be boring. I think that would be the single boldest move in franchise history for better or for worse.

Agreed 100%

This would be a total buffalo bills move, a deep draft and they would move up and give up picks!

Re: Bills trying to move up?

I want me some Clowney. THAT would be an awesome D and Brady would shart himself continually until empty.

Re: Bills trying to move up?

Move up for Clowney or Mack, those are the only options. But this draft is so deep I would hate to forfeit picks. Would be awesome if we could trade 9 and maybe a current player to move up instead of picks.

I don't believe it. It would cost way, way too much.

Re: Bills trying to move up?

If you believe Manziel is the next Steve Young trading up to number 1 from 9 is a no brainer. Even if it means giving up 2 firsts and a second. This team is one QB away from the playoffs.

I don't believe the Bills would move up for anyone else but Manziel. Maybe Clowney but that's a stretch considering we were near the top in sacks. We do need a DE though. Hughes is too weak to play DE regularly. He's a specialist.

Re: Bills trying to move up?

i'd rather move up for Bortles than manziel.
i'm not on board for a move up for OT since linemen are supposed to be deep.
I'd be intrigued by clowney...and that makes the most sense as they would be showing that they want to just crush teams defensively and just survive on offense by managing the game without too much risk.

I don't think this is the draft to move up on. a trade up would make sense if you were close to being a great team. and we are on the outside looking in at trying to be a decent team.
