Bills talking trade with Falcons

[The Spaz]

An interesting trade possibility exists between the Falcons (No. 8 overall) and Bills (No. 13). Considering the depth of the wide receiver class, the Falcons can trade down and still get an elite receiver. The Bills need to move ahead of Pittsburgh (No. 11) to get Rivers, the NC State quarterback. . . .

I hope this is true, but it probably isn't

Falcons and Bills are common trading partners, and both teams may be looking for the same thing. I like the idea.

I'd only trade up w/ the falcons, if we got Roy, or Taylor, or Big Ben.

I agree , I would not trade up for Rivers. I would for Ben.

[RedEyE]

It would be nice to screw over the Falcons again.

[BAM]

Peerless who?

[Tatonka]

i would not give up a pick in this years draft.. period.

I have a weird hunch that if this happens, this will be part one of a two part trade. Meaning, if the Henry trade is still lingering, TD would now have an 8 and TH to try and get into the top 5. Stranger things have happened.

word. im a big rivers fan, but even at 13 id hesitate. i dont think its possible for someone to move from a third round prospect to top 10 just because of one game. i think hell be a good qb and everything, but i dont think every scout in the nfl could have gotten proved wrong in just one game

Rivers is a little overrated right now imo, but he is still great. I think his mechanics are kind of funky, but I would take a chance on him at 13 if given the chance. I like him a lot and, in all honesty, it would be a bummer to see him in a Bills uniform.

I think Drew Bledsoe is awful, not smack, just my opinion. Maybe the new offense helps him get back on track, but personally, I think Rivers is a perfect fit for you guys. Plus, with the wide receiving group so deep, you could pick up quality in the second, or third round. I would be shocked if Rivers is on the board and you guys pass on him.

TD has something up his sleeve.

Maybe it's not for a QB?

Upon reading the post on the Falcons' board carefully, it appears to represent speculation rather than an alleged inside bit of info.

"An interesting trade possibility exists between the Falcons (No. 8 overall) and Bills (No. 13). Considering the depth of the wide receiver class, the Falcons can trade down and still get an elite receiver.

The words "interesting possibility" "Falcons can trade down" and "Bills need to move ahead" do not speak of talks necessarily going on right now. As has been mentioned before, there is a rumor that Buffalo is talking with Jacksonville at #9. It would be for the same reason; drafting a QB. That makes a little more sense from the Bills' perspective if only because neither the Falcons or the Jags are thought to be interested in a QB. The Bills don't need to get ahead of the Jags, only the Steelers. There is no point in giving up any more than you have to in order to move up.

Unless they want to go even higher
