Will The Bills Trade Up and Draft Jadeveon Clowney?

[BillsImpossible]

Is Doug Whaley going to make the biggest splash of the 2014 NFL Draft?

Seattle's defense was dominant last year.

Jadeveon Clowney has the potential to make the Bills defense just as dominant.

Drafting Clowney is like drafting Sidney Crosby, or Bruce Smith.

Williams and Williams aren't young, both have had injury issues, and Dareus is 50/50.

The Bills new 4-3 defense is useless if one of the three above don't play a full season.

That's risky, more risky than what it would take to get Jadeveon Clowney.

I don't think the Bills will have to give up an arm and a leg to make this move.

A 2015 1st rounder is automatic, but everything after that is open to negotiation.

Let's make a deal, Houston.

Texans running back Arian Foster is coming off back surgery, turns 28 years old in August and has a lot of mileage on his legs.

CJ Spiller is worth a 2nd round draft pick.

I think the Bills really want to hold on to their 2014 2nd and 3rd round picks for the best tackle or guard on the board.

Bills give the Texans their 2015 1st round draft pick
Bills trade CJ Spiller to the Texans
Bills give the Texans their 2015 3rd round draft pick
Bills give the Texans two 4th round draft picks, one this year, one in 2015.

Would you make this deal? A 1, a "2," a 3 and two 4's?

If you're Houston, with a new coach and staff are you sold on any quarterback in this year's draft as the clear cut number one pick?

I wouldn't want to hitch my wagon to a star I could not see outshine all the others.

Let's tango with Texas.

I didn't want to create a separate post for basically asking the same question:

If the Bills had the #1 pick in 2014, who would they draft?

Re: Will The Bills Trade Up and Draft Jadeveon Clowney?

Points system for Draft

#1 Pick = 3000
#9 Pick = 1350

The Bills would have to give up a TON to move up. Highly unlikely.

A 1, 3, two 4s and Spiller?
Are you unwell?

Losing to Jacksonville, Miami, Carolina, Baltimore, and NY would've helped.

Anyone remember what Bill Polian gave up to get Cornelius Bennett?

Didn't Greg Bell get traded in that deal?

Re: Will The Bills Trade Up and Draft Jadeveon Clowney?

With the offseason moves being what they have been, and watching who they are bringing in for workouts so far, I think it's more likely that if they aren't intent on a tackle who is available (and I'm not sure they are) they're going to trade down.

Greg Bell and 2 1st round picks (1988 and 1989) and a 2nd round pick

Youre going to have to give the Texans 2 1st Round picks (2015 and 2016) and probably throw in a 2nd or 3rd round pick

Eric Dickerson to the Colts, Greg Bell to the Rams, and Cornelius Bennett to the Bills.

What Buffalo gave up: Greg Bell, RB (a former Bills 1st round pick). 1st round Pick (14th overall-Rams, Gaston Green, RB) – 1988. 1st round Pick (26th overall, Rams, Cleveland Gary, haha, RB) – 1989. 2nd round Pick (53rd overall, Rams, Darryl Henley, DB)– 1989.

Unfortunately, we don't have Bill Polian dealing with the 1987 Colts and Rams, though.

Re: Will The Bills Trade Up and Draft Jadeveon Clowney?

I'd hope for Clowney & expect a trade-back based on all our visits.

[Turf]

Re: Will The Bills Trade Up and Draft Jadeveon Clowney?

If Clowney is that good I would make the deal.

WTF the Rams get Greg Bell in that deal and then draft a RB in the 1st Round back to back in 1988 and 1989 lol I think In total the Rams got 3 1st round picks and 3 2nd round picks for trading Dickerson.. What is hilarious is the Colts gave the Rams all those picks for Dickerson and the following draft Polian uses 1 2nd Round pick to draft Thurman Thomas
