Trade down with bills

Buffalo Bills: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
General manager Buddy Nix, who is generally forthcoming about his offseason plans, told the media that he plans on drafting a franchise quarterback. He even said he'll trade up for one in the 2013 NFL Draft. He may have been talking about Geno Smith if the Chiefs pass on him, so I wouldn't be surprised if he moves up to No. 5 in order to leapfrog the Browns and Cardinals. :yay:

Many will criticize this move, but Nix is desperate. If he wants to keep his job, he'll have to find a franchise quarterback quickly. I think he'll swing for the fences with Smith, who undoubtedly has first-round talent; he just needs to put it all together. I'm pretty convinced that Nix will talk himself into taking Smith or another quarterback at No. 8 overall. Don't look for it to be Ryan Nassib though; it's been reported that Buffalo doesn't like him very much.
 
I saw this the other day, that Scott Wright from draftcountdown.com has KC going Geno Smith. If he has a good combine or pro day I bet Geno Smith doesn't get to 5.
 
Alex Smith could go to one of those three teams.

Alex Smith would fit in nicely with KC because of the Andy Reid aquisition..I also look for them to be a player for Matt Flynn. (I'm not saying they wouldn't draft Geno, I just think the other 2 are major possibilities. Smith could end up a Cardinal too.
 
pick 8 would be perfect. gimmie vaccaro or warmack and a pick...done and done.
 
MM would probably pick a bad character guy or a player coming off of a serious injury at #8

With the #8 pick in the draft the Detroit Lions select!!!!!....Oscar "i am the bullet in the chamber" pistoris!!!!!!

"Mr Mayhew are you aware Mr Pistoris has no legs?"

"ya we considered that but weve been looking for kind of the half man half robot thing for a long time here in detroit and we think we finally found it"

"Mr mayhew....are you aware mr pistoris may have killed his girlfriend"

"Our scouting process does not include hearsay and rumors. We watched him in the olympics and saw he can run in a straight line very fast with little or no effort. He also does not tire very easily."

"would that be becuase hes not using legs?"

"no matter the reason....he will be a serviceable at best prospect we can get rid of in a couple years after he doesnt produce like most of our other picks. We chose not to build our organization through the draft. We feel very confident that these rumors will prove to be nothing more than false accusations and if anything mr pistoris' character will be built through this process."

"sir...are you batshit crazy? the girl is dead....its not a rumor."

"agree to disagree."

MM " plus we don't have to worry about any injuries below the knees"
 
Being able to trade down in a draft like this years would be very fortunate. Could get the same level player at 15 as we can ag 5.

Quality entertainment.

And hell yes trade down would be the best case scenario. When was the last time we pulled one of those off in th first?
 
The only one I can remember is with Cleveland and they got Winslow and we got Roy. I might not even be remembering that correctly.

Last I can remember is trading back for Gos with KC in 08. The article I found called that Plan C after Harvey and Mayo were already taken.

I've heard murmurs of Reid wanting to bring Nick Foles to KC...that would also fit in nicely for a trade down scenario with the Bills.
 
i still think its wayyyy to fishy that PHI hasn't been drooling over geno smith running chips offense....my gut tells me hed be a pick 4 lock eventhough no one else has said anything about it. the 1 year deal for vick is just more proof if u ask me.

Except Philly brought in Dennis Dixon. They'll trade Foles, draft a late-round QB to mold, and roll with Vick and Dixon.

Gotta be a good running QB in Chips O.....Geno doesn't like to run.
