Couldn't agree more. First things first, you need to get a Franchise QB anyway you can.
Even though the Pats haven't drafted too well, they have landed studs like Gronkowski and Hernandez because of the fact that they have so many draft picks each year. The likelihood of hitting on them increases. I think Buffalo is starting to understand this. However, i think you do whatever it takes to get your QB first even if that means giving up picks to land him. After that, stockpile draft picks anyway you can.
The last time the Bills were good, they had a Franchise QB. In today's NFL, you can't have a 3-4 year rebuild. A lot of guys you had in that first year of the rebuild will be gone, that is the nature of the NFL today. Injuries, free agency, new rookie scale, salary cap are all reasons why you see teams who are terrible one year, make the playoffs the next. The Bills being the obvious exception.
