The Bills needed a safety net. They had no one at QB. They still have to draft a QB because Kolb is not the answer long term. They are in our situation except we gave up two high picks and they got Kolb for free.
I think, regardless of other signings, the Jags, OAK, ARZ, BUF, and NYJ remain interested in Geno. No one other than the Jags can take the risk of sitting pat and not trading with KC to get Geno. So, the question is whether KC is asking a reasonable price for #1 from the other team perspective.
OAK gets Flynn because they know KC will not favor a trade with a division rival and they suspect Geno will be gone at #1 or #2.
Jags offer their #1 and their third rounder. Chiefs will want their second rounder. Jags say "we'll take our chances then."
ARZ claims they want an LT with their first pick but have to be interested in trading for Geno if the price is right. I think they have to give up next year's first rounder to move up, so they are thinking of taking an LT in the first round and Barkley in the second, if he slides.
BUF would probably give up this year's first and maybe next year's; but, KC may be pushing for more (knowing BUF is desperate), so they sign Kolb to a contract they can cut in a year or two, just to give themselves bargaining leverage to tell KC that they will give no more.
