Potential ideal team to trade picks with - BUF?

21
22
53
56

They could use a QB and the Bengals might be a perfect spot for them to trade up in order to jump ahead of Washington, Arizona, and maybe even Baltimore, who all might be looking for a new franchise QB.

When looking at the trade chart from last year (https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp), here are the values given for the following picks:
12 = 1200
21 = 800
22 = 780
53 = 370
56 = 340

BUF could trade #21 and #53 overall to go to 12 and it would be an awfully close equivalent value (1200 vs 1170).
Or if the team is more desperate, add in a 3/4 rounder or a 2nd rounder in 2019.

This not only would allow BUF to get the QB they wanted but still have another first rounder and second rounder to further improve their team.
Meanwhile, this would allow the Bengals to pick up an extra 2nd rounder and hopefully given them more willingness to draft OL in the first round since Hobson indicated the Bengals don't value any OL good enough for pick 12.

Your thoughts on BUF being a trade partner given their abundance of high-round picks?
Is there another team who you think is even better to trade with?

Excellent research and using the point system is what NFL teams will do, so it makes sense.  I think Buffalo will definitely want to go for a QB.  Maybe they will want to trade even higher, but I think Buffalo might take someone less polished like Darnold because he is a big, strong guy with a Howitzer for an arm.  He could very well be there at 12.  He needs to be mobile and can spin it through the wind out there.  I think of him as a Carson Wentz with less talent around him and smaller windows to fit his passes through.  He wouldn't be getting pounded behind Buffalo's line like he was against the Buckeyes at USC.  

This has a very realistic possibility of happening.  The Bengals could get the less-sexy help they need at LB, DT, or Center at that later pick and also getting that middling 2nd rounder would add more beef on the offensive line.

I, for one, hope this happens. People will want the burner safety that runs a 4.4 at the combine because he is a sexy player, but this would improve our team much more than a guy that would likely ride the pine behind Williams and Iloka.
