    B/R Rumor: Bills and Jets Interested in QB Paxton Lynch, Exploring Trade Up Options

    It's a video on Bleacher Report from NFL Insider Jason Cole.

    Bills looking to possibly move up and get Lynch. Cole says they would likely need to get into the high teens, but with Goff and Wentz going 1 and 2 they may need to get into the Top 10.

    Browns are also interested.

    I'm not against drafting a QB high this year, but I'm wary of trading up to get one depending on what it would take. If it's something like a 3rd or 4th to move up a couple of spots, I'd probably be fine with it, but I don't want to give up a 1st next year. If another team wants to give up that much, I'd say let them. We certainly have other needs to fill.

      Well, I like this idea, but my track record predicting NFL success is not good, so there's that.
      If the Bills trade up to get Lynch, I can imagine the rage of discontented Bills' fans might break the internet.

        I can't imagine they would make a trade costing next years' one. I am good with going after this guy, though. I do wish his Wonderlic wasn't wooden post low.

        Browns are also interested.
        If the Browns are also interested, maybe they just take him at #8?

            God I hope that's a ploy to get someone else to bite.

            Lynch choked against good teams. To pick him over a top Front 7 player or OT would be stupid. He's not even worth #19. There are so many better football players than him that will be picked in the first 2-3 rounds.

              Wasn't his fan before and now that he bombed the wonderlic I'm even less of a fan.

                what is the bills outlook? are they trying to make the playoffs or build long term? If they don't address defense constantly, then they are kind of off the playoffs or bust mentality.

                if they take the qb, I won't be ragingly upset, but I don't think the long term qb solution is in this class. we should get 6 quality players and possible chances to get more picks by moving down if it presents itself. that is the right decision long term. perhapsthey are just doing this to work Denver into trading with them to acquire more pics.

                  I seriously doubt the Bills would trade up in this draft for a QB.

                    Hopefully they know the Jets are interested in Lynch and are just trying to drive up the cost for them. It would make sense for the Browns to have interest and use their 8th pick. They have a bunch of extra picks now to address other needs and keep building. So that would mean moving up to #7, which is a big jump from #19 or 20. The Bills would have to give up so much to take a pretty questionable qb. That just sounds like a terrible idea for a team that's not desperate for a qb.

                      The Browns will take him at #8, only if San Fran doesn't take him at #7. It doesn't mean he's that good, but QBs are always at a premium.

                        Cleveland won't be taking Lynch.

                        I fully expect them to trade down...again.

                          Cole alluded to the same thing, the Browns like him but not at 8.

                            What I've seen is that they might entertain the thought of trading their pick in the second round to move up into the mid 20s to take him if he's still available. I doubt he will be.

                              Lynch is a project. I'm intrigued but no way I'd be in favor of trading up to get him. If he's there at 19 fine.
