Calling OT now with 1.1 is a bit steep. Yes we "can" do it, but Buffalo made a move yesterday that said they were ALL IN on a QB, some people missed that.
Their penciled in starter is Terdvaris Jackson. No franchise I know will go all in on Jackson.
Next, lets look at FA options. Mark Castle, Fitzpatrick, and potentially Carson palmer.
Nobody is going all in on Cassel, they were the ones that let Fitz go because he wouldn't take a pay cut, and Palmer is old and not on the market yet.
So we look at the draft. Geno, Barkley, and Nassib.
As of right now, we're taking a tackle, so Jacksonville could get Geno. We can get a solid tackle at the #8 position, there's no guarantee for a franchise guy at the #8 pick, and you know you won't be able to get a solid starter in FA after the draft.
All signs point to Buffalo trading at this point, the question is, will they go up to 1.1?
We will find out in about 40 something days, but my money right now is on a trade where they get extreme value out of the pick trade.
Imagine KC with the #8, and a 40ish pick. Tackle, Receiver, ILB 1-3. Bam, Bam, Bam. Suddenly the Alex Smith trade wasn't so steep for us.
