That would be HILARIOUS! Maybe just bring him up in every thread, about any draft. That would really be something... "Who were the draft busts of the 2015 NFL Draft?.....Aaron Maybin!" Very clever.

It's all there (in the article), if he is on the board, pick him. It might not work out...pick another one next draft. Barkley has competed to be "the Man" over and over, and has won out every time, against very tough competition.

Graham has only played one season, and it was with a QB that was incapable of playing to Graham's strengths. Lots of teams passed on R. Wilson.

Except when he isn't in the draft that is being discussed. yeah, but he was setting records, and tearing up the conference. I'm not down on Nassib, but I don't think he is the same prospect that Kaepernick was.

I sure there are lots of NFL players, doing lots of different drugs. Like, the league is fueled by pharmacies! I agree though, he didn't seem very good at evading detection, so THAT could be a problem.

Mine too.

I know, but what a weird way to make a living!

I disagree. Neither of them went on to any kind of success, and they both had ample opportunity. It was clear that Trentative either couldn't, or wouldn't anticipate openings in coverage well enough. He earned that nickname like no other. As someone pointed out, he made Fitz look great by comparison. Losman was a whole different set of problems, but again, I don't think there was a cure. There just aren't many people that can consistently perform at the level needed to win in the NFL. These guys didn't have it. Thank you for providing the voice of reason. It's a difficult thing, this Bills fandom. I have to keep looking forward. 20 years....

i just want to see the "Top 10 Selections" list... I would be impressed enough with that. Predicting 3 rounds of the draft is just completely ridiculous, and embarrassing. How do these "draft experts" look people in the eye while they spout this drivel? What kind of a sham "expertise" are these con-men profiting on? Seriously, it's a load of crap.

Yeah, see this is what I mean. I sense that some people are EMOTIONALLY involved with his "legacy" or something. Sure, he had some highlights, some nice throws, whatever....fact remains that he was never very good, and certainly wasn't gonna lead any team to the promised land. I don't know if you, and others like you, argued in his favor so vociferously that his failing brings some kind of shame on to you, or you had some kind of personal interaction with him that clouds your judgement. I'm not sure where the problem lies, I just know he was never very good, before "the hit", or after.

I wonder if Kelsay is going to become a position coach or something. I have always said "If he is such a great locker room guy, then make him a coach. Just get him off the roster!" He has earned it.

Ugh.... he was never very good. And I'm sure he has long since recovered, but still isn't any good. I don't know if people here have met him, or he signed something for their kids, or what it is, but people won't let it go. I don't consider him a coward, or a jerk, just not a very good quarterback. Ever.

Maybe, but he was never any good before it either.

Yeah, they were talking about how they weren't gonna bother using any of the 30 interviews on a guard. And how foolish it would be for them to select a guard with the 8th pick.

Fixed it.

This is how I feel too. The teams that keep drafting Db's, probably still need Db's. When the bills whiffed on McKelvin, they obviously still had a hole at that position.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ What I wanted to say

Yeah, but are they bad because their defensive backfield is weak?

If they aren't going to use the first pick on a QB, they should take the best guy on the board, at a position of need. There are MANY positions of need, and safety may be one of them, but how likely is it that a safety is going to be the best player available when they pick? Using an 8th pick on a safety, because you have a defensive scheme that relies heavily the play of the safety, sounds very familiar. And why are these coordinators basing schemes around a position they don't think is a team strength?

That's what I thought, too. This team has had a hole at Qb for 20 years, and a defense that was one of the worst I've ever seen, and people want to pick a guard with the 8th pick?! Of course, I know they won't do something so foolish. But if they do, I ain't watching this team until the gm is GONE.

Yeah, I agree with all of this. I realize everybody has their own opinion, but some of the things posted are misleading, and Joe Ferguson deserves better as a person. He was by all accounts a GREAT teammate, regardless of how you feel about his play.

No way he would give Jim Kelly any kind of "run". Jim Kelly is a Hall of Fame QB! I think Joe Ferguson was above average, and played very well when he finally got a supporting cast. Someone earlier claimed.. "IMO, Joe was a lot like Fitz with a stronger arm. Good enough to win with a better supporting cast, but not a guy who could carry a team on his back." Ha!! Fitz is NOT good enough to win anything but MAYBE 10 games (and a playoff loss) with any kind of supporting cast. Joe Ferguson was better than Fitz, but not close to Kelly.

The draft is such a hot topic, and the fact that there isn't one standout guy makes it easy for writers to get people to read articles like this. They pander to what they think people want to read. There are talented QB's in this draft. The new breed has been so well coached compared to guys in the past, and the passing game at every level from Pee Wee to College is more sophisticated, that the top guys are much better prepared than even 10 years ago. Everyone relax, there is a good Qb in the pile, and the teams have to find him, and develop him, just like any other draft.

No

What is the likelihood of a 4th or 5th round player ending up a good starter, as a rookie? If you have a desperate need for a starter I don't think those rounds are where you find them. Either the first 2 rounds or free agency. Pretty much any round after the 3rd. teams are just hoping to find someone that can make the team at ANY POSITION. Even running back. If there is a RB high on their board, I don't think it's crazy talk to think they should select him.
