That looks right and if we didn't have to give up the third #1 I would be thrilled with that.

How fun would this be...
Bills trade with Broncos to get 8nto 5.
Bills trade with Jets to get to 3.
In this scenario, Jets only threats to making this move
- somebody trades into 4th from Cleveland to select their Targeted QB
- Bill want same QB as Jets
- this where they work it like Sabres did, both teams write down their desired selection, if it is a match, no deal Jets retain the 3rd. If it different, deal is made.

Woul$ be fun to see it play out.

Two problems:

1) It's been reported that it costs 3 firsts to get to 5. It would cost a ton to then move again

2) The Jets traded up - why would they move back again?

There is a standard the NHL, AHL, and ECHL that the players are to follow, it's the one thing from the regular season that carried over to the playoffs. We all got memos on it with strict directions on it.

Yeah well, I once played in a tournament at the Pepsi center in Amherst and we got mercy ruled by the middle of the 2nd period.

If they were certain their target was going to be safe, they likely recover a pick or two and still get their guy.

I would love this. I'm pretty much in agreement with your projections, but think Nelson is going in top 9 to somebody. I'd say Bears or Colts.

Seems like you're liking Rosen a little more lately.

That is never going to happen.

The Jets are not going to help a division rival get their QB of the future.

Some projections have Rosen as the #4 QB in the draft now for whatever reasons. I have no idea who is the one, they have all been picked apart like crazy so I have to trust the Bills that they know what they are doing and hope they don't draft a QB for the sake of drafting one like they did with EJ Emanuel.

Which is why I am not sold on this QB class

I want them to get the right guy, just not a guy.

Trading up is risky business

I don’t think anyone should be sold, because no one can ever predict how these things turn out

I just don't see us passing on brady.

He'll bring a physical presence we need. It's a statement pick. Sabres are instantly tougher, younger and better

- Boss34



If he turns into his brother Matt is anyone mad?? 60 pt pace and a pest without a center like Eichel (although some time is with Mohnahan who I wanted in 13) Pretty much a young brad Marchand.

I would take that at #2.

I think all will be good. Not saying I would take Brady at #2 but if we did and he turned into that it wouldn’t be a bad pick.

I unfortunately fall into the Russian bias, can’t break it, maybe Svech is more datsyuk heart then radulov heart.

It helps that he's been playing in north america for 2 years now. I think he's the real deal.

Svechnikov is a physical Beast he has that Ovechkin swag

Z is going to be that pure sniper like vanek but a awesome 2 way game which is hard to find in the NHL

So true.

Everything they can do is risky.

Moving up is risky

Staying put is risky

Moving back is risky

I think they move up to the top 6 draft a QB , no idea which one, and then move back up to draft to take that LB from Boise St (Esch)

I honestly have 0 clue what happens.

My thing is, they have to have 1 guy they absolutely love, and would give up a ton for.

They probably don’t have the mentality of “Oh if we can’t get Rosen or Darnold we will just wait and see if we land Allen”

If they have a chance to land their dude. They’re going for it IMO

You don't watch nearly enough Halifax games to say that with any certainty.

I watch enough to know that hes better defensively I'm not saying he's like Zetterberg but he's better

But it really doesn't matter to me both are going to be franchise wingers
