The Bills won’t make any significant moves in free agency in 2018. They will save their biggest move for draft day.

The move is definitely a wait and see move. However, I see the Browns shocking some of the football world and taking a risk by drafting Saquon Barkley with the No. 1 overall pick thinking the Colts won’t draft a quarterback. However, after the Giants will select Josh Rosen with the No. 2 overall pick, in a move that will define the 2018 NFL Draft, the Bills will make a trade in order to get one of the top quarterbacks. They will move up from the 20s to No. 3 overall in order to get the quarterback they want.

Sam Darnold is raw, but he has a lot of potential. He can make all the NFL throws, especially the ones downfield that Taylor can’t make. He just needs to calm down in the pocket. He does have what is known as happy feet. He tends to want to dance around in the pocket or escape when there’s no need to.

The USC offensive line was inconsistent, though. So, that may have played a role in this. Playing behind the Bills offensive line may give him a little more comfort, and his happy feet may disappear after a quarter of play behind that stout line.
