Jack did next to nothing in Jacksonville last year would we really been better off drafting him?I disagree. Jack was the pick.

He's been my favorite QB in the draft as he seems to have the intangibles. Yes, I know he has a weak arm but you watch enough NFL and you come to realize that accuracy is more important. He feels like a WCO QB to me as he's able to hit his guys in stride and has some good legs when needed. Jake Plummerish in think he'll never be elite but still a solid player. I want us to take him in Round 3.

Who is your favorite Corner in the draft that fits the versatile McD system?
Rasul Douglas http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/rasul-douglas?id=2558168
NFL Comparison
Daryl Worley
Douglas has rare size for the position and his 2016 interception total will add to the level of intrigue for NFL teams. There is no doubting Douglas' ability to make plays on the ball when he's in position, but his lack of long speed and closing burst could make his big senior season an anomaly. Douglas is a zone corner with press and trail ability but needs to run a reasonable time at the combine to solidify his draft slotting.
Douglas ran a faster time than Worley(4.59 vs 4.64) who was a 3rd Round pick last year (#77 overall) and started 11 games last year for Carolina Panthers (see scheme fit). So if we wait on CB we could likely get this kid with our 3rd Rounder this year (#75 overall).

with him being below 6 feet he's small for a Safety. At the very least should be a good return man but I don't want the Bills to draft him.Peppers is biggest boom or bust in years.

I feel like some people have forgotten what our Linebackers played like before Zach Brown came here.
Zach Brown is an above average LB in this league. That is not easy to find, which was evident since Fletcher and T.Spikes left.
It is critical to get him back so we can close a need before the draft.
People love to say he missed 14 tackles. The dude had 149 tackles. Less than 10% of his tackles were missed. So he has a 90% tackle rate. I wish every player on our made the play 90% of the time.
If he's motivated he can be, though sad part is most of his career he wasn't. I also question his desire in the last quarter of the season when he seemed to disappear from the Bills or was taking bad angles etc. Possibly because he was mailing it in to avoid getting hurt before his "pay day". That said think he's over priced his worth in UFA and why he has changed his agent and coming back to Buffalo to see what we have to offer. I'd love him back at a cap friendly deal for three years in case Ragland doesn't work out and replace an aging Lorax on defense etc.

Trubisky is the most pro-ready QB due to the system he played in. Mahomes has the arm & higher ceiling which also comes along with higher risk. IMHO Mahomes is worth it.
Go Bills!!!!!
Mahomes isn't worth the risk at pick 10, maybe with our 2nd rounder but to me the best low cost risk is Nathan Peterman in Round 3 as he fits the typical WCO type QB. Not a great arm but is athletic enough and knows how to scan the field and throw receivers open. He might not play as a rookie but think worth investing time in.
-
Is there Mahomes game I should watch? I did the draft breakdown of the Baylor game and I wasnt too impressed. He was a bit tough to assess cause his WRs both bailed him out on not great throws and dropped good ones (or didnt high point). I watched Trubisky versus Duke and even though he had a terrible 2nd half thought he played well. Read the field well and got let down by his WRs a bit. Ended the game very terrible which is a red flag. Any other games from these two I should be watching? At this point I lean towards taking Trubisky because brains > arm strength to me.
The Mahomes love is because he has NFL size and arm strength yet he needs to learn how to read defenses etc.

For the streamers out there you can tons of old episodes of MST3K on the Crackle app/station.

jake butt. trade back in the first grabbing another 2nd and grab him there.
If he didn't get injured in Michigan's playoff game I'd eye Butt in the 2nd, now he might be worth taking a flier on in the 5th or 6th.
-
Safey (if Adams or Hooker are there), WR (If Williams or maybe Davis but unsure of him with him missing all post season workouts) or trade down for best CB are the best options for our 1st Round pick IMHO. I'm also a big proponent of drafting QB Nathan Peterman in Round 3.
-
Amara Daborah is my favorite Round 3 WR prospect but not sure if 6'2" is considered tall, if want an athletic WR with height the guys to go with is Mack Hollins or North Carolina (6'4") or Kenny Golladay (6'4") yet don't see them being impact rookies unless use Hollins as a return man.
-
Updated WR depth chart ad see it:
WR1 S Watkins '17 > S Watkins '16
WR2 Rookie '17 < R Woods '16
WR3 P Brown '17 > M Goodwin 16
WR4 A Holmes 17 } Hunter/Easley/Harvin '16
WR5 B Tate '17 < B Tate '16
WR6 W Powell '17 < W Powell '16
WR7 Everyone else
On the whole I think we're better if Sammy can play a full season and Holmes replaces Hunter's red zone prescense and Easley's ST coverage. Yet asking a rookie to replace Woods is asking a lot. Also think Listenbee could be a surprise guy that might replace Tate as our primary return specialist and might be better as might offer more in receiving game as a poor man's Goodwin.
-
Al Cowlings considering many great DTs were drafted after him.
-
He's a taller version of Tyrod. He'll be someone's backup QB but hopefully not here. Instead want us to draft a guy like Peterman in the 3rd to develop the next few years behind Tyrod "the bridge" Taylor. Or if we stumble take a better QB in 2018 or 2019.
-
My thoughts have been Adams, Hooker or Williams at 10 or trade down. Howard's an enigma as athletically he's gifted and at times he dominated in college but not all the time. Yet with us not one player away I'd much rather have us trade down all things considered.
-
Part of it's ego as am sure other teams feel they can get something better than Mike in a 5th Round pick or something similar for less cap a space and less NFL mileage. Also he doesn't play much on special teams which limits his value too. That said he's a valuable player here and hope we lock him up to a three year deal as our primary backup.Buffalo had the #1 rush offense the last 2 years, why wouldn't a team be interested in Gillislee? Denver could stand some help in the run department, a lack of it really affected their offense and Tampa needs help as well. I don't think that it's too far of a reach for a team like them to step up and consider a proven veteran RB that wouldn't break the bank for them.
-
So, I'm trying to figure this out: What is the status with Holmes at the moment? Thanks.
He's unsigned, the Bills offer (which was originally was reported as a signed contract) was leaked to the media. Yet he might be coming to visit the team and sign said offer. I would have to think he'd sign it because of his twitter post had phrases like "yet" or "at the moment" which is just a matter of crossing the t's and dotting the i's.

I think it's a little more complicated than that. If it was that easy, Air Raid QB's would have a high success rate in the NFL but they don't. I really can't think of an Air Raid QB that succeeded in the NFL....that's why Mahomes scares me. Air Raid is probably the most simple offense to run in college football. It's a system that isn't based on progressions....
Mahomes is probably the best physical prospect in the draft in terms of arm strength. That said you make up some good points why he may struggle. Personally I think Nate Peterson is the best pro ready QB in this class. I know he lacks arm strength but that isn't the most important skill to excel in the NFL.

during the last 3 seasons.....New England has gotten 7 extra comp picks
and whom did they draft with those picks and how have they produced?
-
Two words: change divisions
or maim Brady.

Wide receivers named Mike Williams have also disappointed in the NFL.
The Mike Williams we traded for actually had a great rookie year.
If he doesn't get separation and isn't wide open Taylor will never pass him the football.
Most WRs take three years to reach their full potential, Tyrod's new deal seems to be making him a bridge QB for two years. It might be wise to take Williams (assuming one of the two Safety prospects are off the board).

What if the USFL never folded?
Frank Reich would have played a lot more games in the NFL and the Bills likely would have drafted a QB in 1990 to go with their new HC as Marv would have never got us to the playoffs. Another What IF that I find fun is what if we had drafted Rob Johnson in 1995 instead of Todd Collins....?

He hasn't lived up to his predraft billing yet sounds like could offer some depth behind Shaq. Feels like a Douzable type signing in that fits the defense we're running. I especially liked this write-up that suggests he'd be in a 4-2-5 defense seems McDermott favors a nickel based system. http://www.fanaticalyankee.com/nfl-draft-scouting-reports/scott-crichton-scouting-report-2014-nfl-draft
