It's amazing how some fans just assume that if we take a non QB at #8 that the player we would take will automatically become a "Blue Chip Player" whereas if we take a QB somehow that player is almost certainly doomed to fail... We took Dareus at #3 - Has he become a "Blue Chip Player"???? NO

http://profootballta...isit-the-bills/ http://profootballta...-are-a-concern/ if the Bills intend on running the so called "read option" a second QB of that type would be a big plus in case of injury to your starter...

I don't think that many of us would object to the Bills trading down abit, if they could still get "their guy" QB... But since that is not easy to do, and since this FO has not done this in the past I would not get my hopes up that they will all of a sudden change their MO... So if they take "their guy" QB at #8 fine... and get a top WR at #41... Happyness should follow... If they are able to trade down abit though, they might be able to add a quality young TE with an extra 2nd rd pick they might get... either of these outcomes would constitute a successful draft...

Leave no stone unturned...

They would make an interesting tandem, if it actually were to happen... Add in a WR at #41... who knows... I'm stiill surprised abit about releasing both Jones and Nelson though...

Take the best QB available at #8... Take the best WR at 41....

And no state income tax... another reason Wallace went to the Dolphins...

I really don't have a favorite... But I believe the Bills MUST draft a QB at #8... Play him from Day 1 like Tannehill... If he totally sucks we'll at least have another high draft position next year and could even draft his replacement if necessary... He might make a decent backup at least... On the other hand if OBD picks the right QB we'll have our QB for the next decade.... Again I have no favorite QB yet... Smith, Barkley, and Wilson seem to be the 3 most highly regarded so far but only the Bills know how they rank these QBs...

I don't see the Bills going after Bowe But Henderson makes a lot of sense... Not enough cap space to go after Bowe...

As I recall, Barkley was on almost everyones wishlist last year - now he's a pariah?? Any of the guys you just mentioned could easily have the same thing happen to them next year... How long are you gonna wait to draft a QB???

In his three drafts as Bills GM Nix took only one QB. (7th rd - his 1st year) He failed to go after Kaepernick, Wilson, Dalton, Ponder or Cousins... You'll never succeed if you don't try...

In addition to the punter debacle, Jacksonville also selected Blaine Gabbert who looks like a bust too... I would hope though that the Bills draft at least 1 QB if not 2 this offseason... And say what you will about Flutie - He made the games entertaining, Not like what we've seen the last 12 years... My problem with NIX is that he never took a flyer on ANY of these QB's... You have to be in it to win it....

Following along with that idea since we stole the Jets DC Pettine, might the Jets who need a QB as bad as we do try to "leapfrog" us and snatch Nassib before we can at #8 ?

Lovie or McCoy work for me...

If you want a particular QB in this draft I think you need to use the #8 pick to get him... For all we know, you could see 3 or more QB's taken in the top 10 picks... And Nix and crew are not known for trading up or down in previous drafts... And whoever the new HC ends up being, I would think he should have some input here too... After all, the new Coach is likely to sink or swim based on the play of the QB we draft... My personal choices for Coach would be: 1 Chip Kelly 2 Jon Gruden 3 Lovie Smith tied with McCarthy It's too bad we'll never know what QB each of the HC candidates would prefer If he were made HC...

Hate to burst your bubble but just because he was a good player doesn't mean he can coach... And if he wanted to coach, he should start at some college - not at the NFL level...Hey, he was a favorite player of mine too, but let's be reasonable here... The Bills need to hire someone with experience or an up and coming college coach....

You are talking a team that went 4-8 (3-5 MAC) Real football program played teams like UB, Boise St, But they did play Ohio State (L56-10).... I want a REAL QB from a REAL football program....

Physically, he sounds impressive but can he read defenses? Miami of Ohio is just not same as your big time college football programs... Also the newer QB's in the NFL are more mobile.... I want the Bills drafting the best QB available with their 1st round pick...

I've said it before and will say it again... Polian may be the best gm we can get and I trust him a hell of a lot more than Nix to pick our next coach and QB of the future... We have no idea if Whaley will be any good or not... We know Polian can do it - he's done it before... And if Polian got his name on the Wall - Ralph and polian must have settled their differences by now... BRING BACK BILL POLIAN....

Why would Arians leave Indy and coaching Andrew Luck for the next decade to come here? I wouldn't... And why this love affair for someone with no experience as a GM??? I would trust a Bill Polian even at his age to choose our next QB a hell of a lot more than Whaley... Nix and Chan must go...

Actually, Polian might be the only quality GM who might come if Ralph fires Nix and Chan... I'd trust Polian to hire a decent head coach and draft the best young QB out there...No way do I want Nix making that decision...

None of these QB's are worth our #1 (maybe the 10th overall?)... Wait till rd 2 and pick one then... get a stud LB or WR in Rd 1....

Doug Flutie at least was entertaining to watch... Although I remember a game at the old rockpile where Kemp came in relief and was booed unmercifully by the crowd... All of a sudden Kemp throws a deep bomb for a TD and the crowd is cheering him as he walked off the field...

I choose to remain hopeful. This may in fact be a good thing. A statement earlier this year was made that there was a Buffalo group waiting in the wings for Ralph's passing and that they had some kinda plan to buy the Bills and keep them here AND that they had some kinda plan that involved building a new stadium here. I f we are gonna "invest 200+ million in state money it only makes sense to invest it in a modern stadium (presumably open air) either on the waterfront or possibly Niagara Falls...

I'm not a Nix fan. But to be fair, you have to judge him on the picks he has made - not on those he didn't make...
