i think adding a really athletic TE and have him and chandler would be awesome as they could run out f the 2 TE set and pass out of it more too. someone like the UW TE sefarian jenkins.
I think that should be their top priority. I know secondary help is needed. Still get your young QB a big athletic target. I'd put Evans from Texas A&M high on the target list also.
-
It make more sense. I've gone to the games the last two years at Cleveland, and when Stevie dropped the pass their was a significant presence at the Ralph. If a team and hopefully never the Bills gets moved to LA I believe re-alignment should happen.
-
This.
He's raw. I think he's on a 3-4 year learning curve. After 3 or 4 years, if he hasn't developed, then I think you can write him off.
Guys don't get 3-4 year to develop anymore.
-
He isn't good enough to be on an NFL roster.
-
Peyton Manning in the playoffs is a shaky. I like Denver though in terms of talent. After that Baltimore. Dalton has to show me something in order to move Cincy up. Indy and Houston i'd say are after Denver and Baltimore.
-
It doesn't matter. Matt Leinart would've gone 1st overall if he left a year earlier than he did. If the Bills can win games with Manuel not looking like Tebow it's a good pick. If they lose even if he's half way decent he's a bust. So it goes for a QB.
-
It will, mark my words. Whenever we get this thing turned around, it'll be a huge story. We got the cover of SI a few years ago just with a 3-0 start and that fantastic win over NE. Much like the Pirates in MLB this year, it'll be such a big story when we do, the sports world will take notice.
The Bills were all over national media/tv with the 3-0 start and the hot start a few years prior. Guys were on Rome/ESPN. Talking heads generally state "the NFL is a better place when the Bills are good." The only other team that is said for is the Raiders. Unfortunately predicting any sort of success is hard when they've topped out at below average.
-
Nope he is just an overhyped punk that was given too much too soon. Teams will shut his ass down this year and that along with his ****ty attitude and only being 6'0 with an average arm is going to cost him come draft day.
Texas A&M went from a team that choked with a 1st rd talent at QB in an inferior conference to the best team in the country at the end of last season. He was voted the best player in college football so I don't get how could he be over hyped. He was given way too much by earning the starting job in the best conference and helping turn an average at best team from an inferior conference to an elite team in the best conference.
How he translates to the league is up for debate. With guys like RG3, Wilson, Kaepernick as dual threat I think it bodes well for Manziel.
-
Mike Evans or Marquise Lee
-
It all comes down to one guy and that's Spiller. If he were to get hurt it could destroy Manuel's development.
-
Spiller and it's not close. Defense it's Mario but that depends on what Mario shows up. When it comes to one play in the game where the other team should/will avoid a player it's McKelvin on punt return.
-
Drafting offensive lineman early is a waste. They just don't matter as much as other positions. Like it's been posted it's a passing league and more so a quick passing league. The Chiefs have an elite LT and they draft Fisher number 1. It was a scared draft pick. Tackles don't matter in comparison to skill positions.

Wouldn't mind Ryan Swope

#1 - Baseball lends itself to mathematical analysis in a way that football never will
#2 - If we're having a competition between algebra and one of the most knowledgeable posters in the history of this forum, I know which dog I'm picking every time.
Statistical analysis has found it's way into hockey and the nba. Coaches control more in football than most sports IMO. Mike Schopp's goal seems to be for teams to not punt on 4th down. Statistical analysis says teams should go for it pretty much everytime. Their has to be a happy medium.
Baseball lends itself to statistical analysis more in scouting than other sports. Although Aaron Schatz website had Russell Wilson as the highest rated QB they've ever rated coming into the NFL.
-
I couldn't think of a worse pick than an offensive lineman at 8 or even 41. They don't matter enough, especially for a team that has nothing at QB and one NFL caliber WR. If they take Warmack or Johnson or even Fisher just kneel because it's a quit move. Don't sell anything to the fans except the hope that you'll be bad enough to pick Manziel or Bridgewater.

I don't think Jones will go in first 3 rds but just a different angle.
-
Glenn Dorsey, Aaron Curry, and Robert Gallery at one time were considered BPA and safe picks. The Bills can keep draft BPA and if they don't get an above-average starting QB they'll continue to be terrible.
-
Hypothetically if they were looking to draft Patterson I think Buffalo would be one of the teams they'd probably look to jump ahead of also. As for a guy to replace Harvin as their number 1 wr they just signed Jennings.

Here's how Gruden rates QBs
1. Incredible
2. Great
3. Very good
That's how Gruden rates every player. I think he said he never drafted a QB while a head coach. Which after looking at was wrong he drafted Josh Johnson, Bruce Gradkowski, Chris Simms, and Marques Tuiasasopo.
-
1. Barkley, Smith
2. Wilson, Bray
If they wait til the 3rd rd i'd fire Nix immediately.

I'm not expecting this team to improve this year and neither should you. The Bills just lost a fine LG and a good backup guard, and the kind of o-line coordination you get with a veteran group that has played together. After going from a 34 D to a 43 and signing a 100 mil DE to play in that 43, we're now going back to a 34/43 hybrid without LBS to play the 34 and with a multi- millionaire DE that doesn't like to play LB. We have only one receiver, and if we drafted a QB, do you expect him to start and give us a better record that 6 and 10?. You really expect us to improve this year?????
If we draft one of the turkey QBs this year, next year or the year after, you and everyone else will be screaming for Johnny Manziel or Teddy Bridgewater. Buffalo should not be satisfied with a QB that will likely be no better than the one we just jetissoned. We need a QB that can play with the Bradys and Mannings. Lets fill our holes this year and next year pull a Ditka for that great QB.
Whose to say Jake Matthews isn't a better tackle than Fisher or Johnson? Or that Lee is better than Patterson? Clowney is better than any defensive player in this years draft so they should wait on him too. I don't think a team has invested less in terms of draft picks than the Bills since Nix arrived. If the Bills QB draft a QB and he's terrible then obviously people will want to improve the position.
As for drafting players who have the ability to be less bad than others. I couldn't think of a worse philosophy.

If you don't think offensive line matters to the development of a rookie QB, I'd like to invite you to visit St Louis and have a chat with Mr Sam Bradford.
I thought, and still think, that he could have become a solid NFL QB and I don't know if he can ever recover from the 105 sack beating he's taken his first 3 years.
The QB taken 1st overall? From a team that blew a pick taking Jason Smith? Who hasn't given him weapons to throw the ball to? Also Bradford was out much of his final year at Oklahoma. Look at who he had to throw the ball to. Amendola was out much of the last two years. He's gone through I think 3 coaches.
It's not 1970's football or even 1990's. Get a QB get skilled position guys and worry later.
-
Two years ago the Eagles won free agency. Last year the Bills were one of the teams that won free agency. Redskins in years past were always one of the teams who spent big. It doesn't always translate to success. I recall Marino's last year in Miami I think they made a bunch of big moves.
-
I just don't think offensive line matters when the Bills are as bad as they're at other positions. They've got one NFL caliber WR and nothing at QB. Offensive Line seems to be considered safe but look at guys like Smith, Mike Williams, Robert Gallery. Go a step further look at some of the guys who were considered safe picks like Aaron Curry, again Robert Gallery, Mike Huff. Even Jake Long doesn't matter because the Dolphins didn't have a QB. If they want to take a LT and continue to be irrelevant do it. Hope that Manziel or Bridgewater are there next year when you pick.
Geno Smith MNF - Falcons/Jets

He looked good. Atlanta is horrible defensively. Still not as if Geno has a bunch of talent on offense. Mike Smith has to be fired at the end of the season. I thought the Bills pass rush before this season was horrible, they're worse.
