This would be ideal. Any team have multiple 1s this year that needs a QB?
I believe Buffalo...
Funny you mention them G08. A Buffalo Bills media guy from CBS was doing a Q&A on Twitter last night. Here was one of the questions:

Do you think the bills will in fact trade up for a QB ?

My buddy is a die hard Bills fan and he thinks they are going to be trading both their firsts to move up for a QB. Question is who do they like. I think they currently have picks #21 and #22, which should propel them up to pick #6 if they'd like.

Imagine the Browns trade down with Houston’s first rounder, #6 at the moment. They would have three 1st round picks two years in a row, including two #1 overall picks.

6 probably won't be nearly enough to get one of the elite QBs

Who are the elite QB's of this draft? Rosen? Darnold?

Reports are that Darnold may not even declare this year and return to USC for his senior season. If he doesn't declare for the draft, that leaves only Rosen as the only "elite" prospect IMO. Lamar Jackson has had his struggles. Josh Allen's stock has dipped significantly. Baker Mayfield had an incredible 2017, but don't think that puts him the elite category. Mason Rudolph might climb into that "elite" category once the Senior Bowl, Combine and individual workouts begin.

Now that being said. The top teams in the draft are all in need of a QB (and there are a lot) so there could be a lot of QB's taken earlier than anticipated.

That's what I mean.
Given the way the needs of the worst teams, the QBs available, and the other positions shake out, I'm doubting that any QB you should be seriously considering at 6 is still on the board by pick 6.

I still love Mason Rudolph and had him as the best prospect in last year's draft. He's played 4 years, got more accurate each year and doesn't throw many interceptions. 10 rushing touchdowns this year is a nice to have too.
