That is why we need to keep all three QB's for this year and Peterman for the next three. I know most fans will never believe he is the answer but if Josh burns out they may be willing to give him a chance.

Trade Zay Jones and Lawson to lar's for Reynolds and Smith, good deal for both teams.

To say Allen needs to be developed is correct but look at what kind of development he's received to this point relative to the other 3 tops QB's in this years draft. How much do you think Wyoming spends on their football program compared to Oklahoma, USC, and UCLA? What is the quality of staff and facilities for training and development? It's like Rocky V where Darnold, Rosen, and Mayfield have been training with Ivan Drago at his elite training and sports facility and Allen has been working with Rocky picking up logs and rocks in cold and desolate Siberia. Who do you expect to be better prepared? Now he's on the Bills roster where the training, learning, and development provided is going to be at professional levels. So now talent, intelligence, drive, and effort will take over. I'm going to trust the judgement of our GM/HC at this point.
What makes you think the Bills are better than Wyoming or as good as UCLA or USC ; (

We need OL trade down and get at least two. Has anyone heard if John Miller is still in the dog house or not?

El-stinko that will have to el-sitto and then more then likely become el-busto. Nothing but EJ hype for him, well if he can get better he could be great, blaaa, either you have accuracy or you dont, no thanks for top 10 pick but top of second sure let's see if he can learn anything. Top of second bust won't hurt as bad as a top 10 pick bust would.
Oddly put but yes, EJ had the height, arm, studied, athletic, good kid but alas el-busto. Don't reach for these guys if one comes down grab him if not Luatte or White in round two. Your point is well taken with el-sitto too, all of them will need to sit and there is a chance AJ might be ready to be the man. If so no harm no foul, at least you didn't give up three picks for a back-up QB.

OK the experts have spoken, which makes me think we shouldn't until round 2 take him at 22. I love this kid go watch his tape, some guy named Montana lasted until round 3 because of arm strength.

I hope Beane doesn't give in to this fan base who insist on reaching for a QB and not just that giving up the house to do so. At least the last time a crappy GM (Nix) insisted on appeasing the fan base he traded down to do so (EJ). Unless Donald, Rosen or Mayfield fall to us at 12 move on and take the Richmond QB in round two he has as much chance of working out as the others. Fill the many holes you have AJ and Nate deserve a shot.

no on Lamar at 12 maybe 22 and even then yawn, no on a DT and no on a RB. I like the WR.

A franchise QB is essential to winning the SB, but is simply no guarantee of winning it all. In fact, having a solid team fir the franchise QB to lead and make his teammates better is also essential Particularly with the unexpected loss of Wood and probably Incognito makes it even more likely that at best the franchise QB at best makes oue bad team adequate.
In terms of smart football, The PROCESS likely demands we use the plethora of draft resources assembled by Beane be used to fill holes fill huge holes (OL, WR. back-up RB, etc.) and make one of the oldest rosters in the NFL older. It makes better football sense to follow the model Pitts used to build the team first and then acquire a Big Ben or an FA like Peyton to win the SB rather than take the crap shoot of trading resources to get an alleged franchise QB who likely gets killed behind our French cheese OL.
Essential as in Nick Foles?

I understand wanting to trade up we really need a franchise QB. The problem is you have to be sure there is one there. I just don't see any of them being a sure thing so take the D QB from Boise st at 12 and CB or OT at 22, Notre Dame WR and the Richmond QB in round 2.
-
Never get out of the boat man.

12-Ridley, 22-Boise LB, 2nd round Richmond QB

Take the kid from Richmond in round 2, he is a steal.

I also am hoping McDermott can make a big move in camp/preseason and secure RT.
My big question would be who is dressing as "reserve swing tackle"? I see this as a potential nightmare.
If Dawkins goes down who fills in, Newhouse? Mills has only played RT.
Is Bodine the "reserve G/C?. Do we dress 7 or 8?
I keep hearing about McDermott, who is he? They appear to be pretty high on him UDFA?
-
The more I hear about Calvin Ridly the more he makes since at 12.

I'd love to have Edmunds but I don't foresee Alexander being a 1st round pick, nor do I envision him being a guy that Buffalo would target.
Tremaine Edmunds and Jaire Alexander
I would be fine with this.

Kick off from the 45, most will be kicked out of the end zone and then you get it at the 25. However, on side kicks would be much more worth the gamble so it isn't an automatic boring play like the old extra point.

I think Josh is the riskiest of the bunch, stay put and take Jackson, give him a year and turn him loose.

Feel free to criticize anything I'm about to type here, but I implore you to read the entire post first because I simply don't understand why more Bills fans refuse to jump on the Lamar Jackson train.
He threw for more one more touchdown than Rosen and Darnold in a much tougher conference on a less talented team. (this is coming from a Louisville fan so please, call me biased, I'll be the first to admit it) He ran for 50 touchdowns in his career. He threw for 27 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his last year while rushing for 18 touchdowns. This is following a year in which he won the Heisman trophy and every coach is keying in on stopping him more than any other single player. He had the same amount of interceptions as Rosen last year, yet Rosen is consistently crowned by "experts" as the most polished, accurate, NFL ready QB in the draft, while Jackson is considered the most innacurate QB in the draft...WHAT??
Experts praise Allen for his arm strength and how much zip he can put on the ball, he's also praised for his big frame. Meanwhile Jackson is only 2 inches shorter than Allen...oh and here's a video of Lamar throwing a football 95 yards in high school:
If that video is too low quality for you I understand. Here's a video of Jackson nearly breaking dude's fingers in 2014:
The receivers' reactions say it all.
Lamar Jackson had the highest receiver drop rate in the country last year. Why is this? Because he has an absolute ROCKET of an arm. One of the main criticisms of Jackson is his poor completion percentage. Here are the completion stats for each of the top QB prospects last year per sports-reference.com.
Darnold: 64.9%
Mayfield: 70.5%
Rosen: 62.6%
Allen: 56.2%
Jackson: 57% With the highest receiver drop rate in the country
He's consistently had a laxkluster offensive line during his tenure while going up against some of the best defensive lines in the country in the ACC. His running back was a quarterback converted to receiver (with the emergence of Jackson) converted again to running back in Jackson's final year. With this being said Jackson's statistics are absolutely unprecedented. Michael Vick has gone on record several times saying Jackson is better than he was at that age, which for whatever reason seems to mean nothing to anybody.
2001 Michael Vick: 6'0 210lbs
2018 Lamar Jackson: 6'3 200lbs
Experts also question his football IQ...take away your bias if who he is as a man, if you don't think Bobby Petrino runs one of the more complicated offensive systems in football then I have to question whether you actually watch both college and professional football or if you just allow yourself to be spoon-fed whatever NFL Network and ESPN tells you. During Jackson's freshman year when he came in and dominated Bobby Petrino went on record as saying Jackson didn't even know the majority of the plays yet when he got his first start. The next year he had one of the best statistical season in history and won the Heisman trophy over Deshaun Watson who probably would have won it almost any other year with his 2016-17 stats and is currently looking like the best QB from last years draft.
Football IQ can be taught, talent cannot.
I'm not going to sully this post by trying to make the case for Jackson being the victim of some systemic racial QB bias, but the case these so-called experts make for the rest of the quarterbacks in this draft being a better prospect than Jackson just do not make any sense to me. The only quarterback I think who may be a better prospect than Jackson is Mayfield. There are holes all over this roster despite our lucking into the playoffs last year on a miracle throw/upset. Trading up into the top 5 to take a Rosen or Allen would be a huge mistake IMO when we can draft Jackson at either 12 or 22 and use our other 5 picks in the top 3 rounds to take franchise players who will KEEP us in the playoffs.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to make a counter argument, but I'm going to finish this post with his highlights from last year and I just want you to imagine a backfield with Lamar Jackson and Shady McCoy and tell me that wouldn't be a fun time to be a Bills fan.
Well done, I to think he is worth the 12th pick. I still think AJ and Peterman can fight it out this year while we sprinkle in Lamar. After that let it sort itself out.

Leave Peterman alone. The kid was a rookie mid-to-late round draft pick and the team put him in one week's notice, on the road, after a disastrous two week performance from the 'starters'. Then his fullback sets up a volleyball for the Chargers to intercept, and a few minutes later he loses his Number One receiver to a knee injury. Buffalo always like a good underdog story. Common Nathan....prove all of the haters wrong!
Right on brother, finally a man with enough common sense to factual assess what happened. In this time of fake news and alternate facts remember a banana is still a banana.
