Rapoport - Bills Still Looking To Move Down

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.

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.

[Bill Cody]

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

[psubills62]

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

I'll be hammered when #31 is chosen.

[Saratoga Slim]

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.

[Scumbag College]

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?

Hickup.... what ?!?!???

[kingJofNYC]

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

[Night Train]

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.

[Mahdi]

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.

[Night Train]

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.

[Jry44]

The Bills thus far have been mentioned is wanting to move everywhere, and interested in drafting almost everyone. They are definitely doing as much as they can to keep teams guessing on their intentions.

I believe it is common for teams to inquire with others about moving or down prior to the draft should the opportunity arise. This really isn't news.

I don't think there's a day 1 starter in this draft anywhere. But I would have said the same thing about Prescott last year, so I know nothing.

[Ed]

I'd have no problem with the Bills moving to 31 since the Falcons would have to give up a boat load of picks. I think Tampa and Denver are both potential trade partners too. Philly could be looking to move up since they're supposedly high on McCaffrey too. Hopefully the Bills find themselves in a situation where multiple teams are competing for their #10 pick. I don't care where the Bills move or if they move down multiple times. You can get great players and day 1 starters anywhere in round 1. I just want to see multiple extra picks in rounds 2-4 and/or early picks in 2018. With three 5th round picks already, I'm not interested in seeing them aquire anymore late round picks.

We wouldn't get a day 1 starter at QB if we had the 1st pick in this draft!

[sudzy]

The 10th pick is valued at 1300 points. The 31st pick is 600 points and Atlanta's 2nd is 276. They could send the Bills their whole draft and not come close to value. I'm thinking the 31st, 63rd picks this year and a 1st next year.

Then we just have to hope for ATL to fall apart again this season, they've been up and down (quite literally).
