That's cool... I hope they can get their 1st round pick for next year because that will possibly be two picks in the top 10.
Bills would probably have to give up pretty much their entire draft this year and next years #1 to move from 9 to 1. The farthest I would go down would be 6, maybe 7.

Pancakes should retire immediately. My fav was "Schaub is not going anywhere anytime soon". Then Schaub is traded a few days later.
Right. Seriously why does the national news media think he's some great source for reliable Texans news? Does nailing 20% of your predictions qualify you to be a credible source?
To be fair, it was in the context of him being cut. That he wasn't going to be cut anytime soon while the team was trying to trade him.
The #9 pick isn't bad at all. They could still get a potential elite player at that spot. Like Clinton-Dix for example. You will not find too many great defensive teams without an elite safety...
I guess this means trading to Buffalo is a done deal... Pancakes needs to stop putting himself out there like that.
How can he say that when he doesn't know what is being offered? what if it was for #9, #41 and next years 2nd? Premature on his part I think
because there is an absolute 0% chance that would be the deal. It would have to involve multiple 1st picks at the minimum.
Bridgewater and Manziel expected to fall? Sources: Manziel, Bridgewater Expected to Fall Updated March 28, 2014 By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell There is a growing sentiment among some of our NFL sources that one or two of the high-profile quarterback prospects could be in store for a draft-day free fall. The two quarterbacks are Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel. Late in the 2013 season, we wrote that teams weren't grading Bridgewater like the top quarterback prospects of past years. Before the Combine, we wrote that two teams picking in the top five had Blake Bortles as their top-ranked quarterback. Teams are lukewarm on Bridgewater, as they have concerns about his physical skill set and build. A few sources said they wouldn't be surprised if Bridgewater fell to the second round. We've also learned that one team picking in the top 10 has Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron rated ahead of Bridgewater. A slide for Bridgewater seems more likely than Manziel. Manziel helped himself with his Pro Day performance, but there are still concerns about him off the field and how much of his game is going to translate in the NFL. Teams wonder if he will be able to develop his pocket passing. One source who attended his Pro Day said that he looked good, though he threw side-armed at times, and they wish he would have done more work out of the pocket. Teams feel that they would have to change their scheme to a shotgun-based offense for Manziel. While some believe that Manziel could be in store for a draft-day slide, they think it is less likely for him, as it only takes one quarterback needy team to fall in love with his playmaking ability and "it factor." Meanwhile, we know a few teams that are rating Derek Carr as the second quarterback behind Blake Bortles. Sources said that Carr is the most natural passer in the draft, while Bortles has the most upside. Sources feel that that quarterback-needy teams like Houston and Jacksonville could get better value to pass on a signal caller in the first round and see who falls them at the top of the second. Cleveland could take one of the elite talents with the fourth pick and target a quarterback late in the first round. In the 2011 quarterback class, second-round picks Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick have been far and away better than first-rounders Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and Jake Locker. Considering that nobody views Bortles to be on a par with Andrew Luck, Cam Newton or Matthew Stafford, a number of teams feel that Houston would be crazy to pass on Jadeveon Clowney for a quarterback. Houston could take Clowney and see if Bridgewater or Manziel falls to them at 33 or trade back into the first round to get their quarterback. Last year Geno Smith, Matt Barkley and Ryan Nassib fell far lower than expected. That trend has happened in other years like 2005 with Aaron Rodgers and 2007 with Brady Quinn. Multiple sources feel that history could repeat itself in 2014 with Manziel and/or Bridgewater. http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftrumormill.php
I really do think that Bridgewater will be the guy to fall, he made a huge mistake by not throwing at the combine and then compounded it with a poor showing at pro day.
