One team plotting a potential move up: The #Falcons, who pick No. 31. One team plotting a potential move down: The #Bills, who pick No. 10.

Re: Rapoport - Bills Still Looking To Move Down

Just looking at the Bills roster, there are a bunch of holes still to fill. There will be guys in Rounds 3-4 taken that would push for playing time and possibly starting roles for the Bills. If they can get 1-2 more mid round picks that would be great. I'm sure that I'm not the only one that feels that.

I'm not sure that Rap is insinuating with that tweet that the Bills are going to move down to 31, but if that happens that would take Atlanta giving probably almost all of their picks to the Bills this weekend and probably some in 2018.

If the package was right I'd be on board with 31 I guess. Prefer to move to the 20's though to see if Mahomes is still there

Re: Rapoport - Bills Still Looking To Move Down

I'm fine moving down, although all the way to 31 is a big drop.

I'll be hammered when #31 is chosen.

Yeah, the positive of following a perennially struggling franchise is you don't have to wait until 11 to see your pick. If we're not going off until 31 I might have to set an alarm.

Re: Rapoport - Bills Still Looking To Move Down

At 31 the Bills would still get an Opening Day starter, except if they went QB.

Just looking at the Draft trade chart, if the Falcons gave the Bills all of their picks this year (The Falcons don't have a sixth) then they would still be about 200+ short of the value of the #10 pick. I don't see any team giving up their entire draft to move up and still would need to give extra picks next year. Maybe a combo of this year's picks and next year's #1 though.

Wait, you post all of this b.s. with a sober mind?

Re: Rapoport - Bills Still Looking To Move Down

Only way I move that far down is if the team nets an additional two first round picks in '18/'19, that way we have two 1st, all things being equal, in both of those years

I don't think he was matching the Falcons with the Bills at all. Just saying they wish to move up somewhere and the Bills wish to move down.

Re: Rapoport - Bills Still Looking To Move Down

The Broncos are rumoured to be trying to trade up to between 5 and 10 to take McCaffrey.

They would have to give up their 2 and possibly a 3 or 4 to do that...

If at the Bills pick he's there I see this happening...

To me, it all depends on what the Bills get in return. Getting the Falcons' second round pick won't cut it. Maybe their second, their third, and a first next year.

The points system is still used for trades. We'll get our price if someone behind us wants our pick.

They won't get a day one starter at QB at #10 either.
