Josh Dobbs.

Now that could work.

Drafting based on last year is a fool's errand. We need to adopt strategy, not tactics. Both Mahomes and Trubisky are far better prospects than any of the 2013 draft. Period. If you believe Mahomes is an EJ prospect or Trubisky is Glennon then you need to actually look closer. If we're going to go linebacker (a terrible idea at ten) I would rather trade back and take Jarrad Davis over Foster AND get an extra pick.

Joe Mixon will be incredible. If we needed a running back that would be my target.

Belichick knows more about the Buffalo scheme than our coaches.

Drafting for need is why this team is almost going on almost 20 years of no playoffs. Linebackers are a terrible idea for a top ten pick. If I draft a linebacker that high I want Brian Urlacher.

But the same structure is in place...

Look at last year's draft. 3 picks on an inside linebacker? DE from Clemson? This organization structure doesn't work.

The Homeless Guy in Cleveland is like the taxi cab guy for Buffalo.

Yeah, I saw that. Just laughed at anyone retweeting Fahey. What really annoys me is he refuses to use analytics on the QBs, that's what he gets known for. Instead he is writing about the beauty of Kizer's footwork?! Ugh.

Bills were letting Jauron pick players for his crappy Tampon 2 scheme instead of the personnel guys. Good thing those days are over...

So the Bills still haven't learned a thing after all these years.

Cian Fahey. Analytics expert turned QB "guru". He is training at the school of Cossell ballet dancing.

This would be very Billsy. Spend 4 picks on linebackers in 2 drafts and pass on 3 QBs with franchise potential with no QB of the future on the roster.

Lynch? Goff?

You want college production with NFL traits. Using this metric I like Trubisky and Mahomes the best out of the 4 most mentioned.

Not every prospect is elite. How many elite prospects do you believe are in this draft?

John Gruden to Mahomes, "You have more talent than 99% of the guys I met."

Patrick Mahomes, Clutch QB. Ranked highest in class. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mwO_4-bIl_y0INGttslwTTOZjZNOpuAxUsnJIaE0zWA/edit#gid=1742864913

That would be great. I'd love for one player to force a lot of people to rethink their methods. My belief in this extends beyond the numbers nerds. I was told by people that coach in college football that Watson struggles throwing the ball, that it flutters before the combine. When those numbers came back I was convinced that they were right.

That's pretty subjective. I don't think the case is closed but we have almost a decade now and there is no success for any QB in the last decade who threw 53 or below unless you count Taylor as a success.

I agree with you that would be worst case scenario. I personally love Adams but he will be gone.

That's the great thing about the draft. Everyone has rules and some work and some don't. The NFL also changes and many of the rules that used to work (like the Parcells rules for QB) also seem a bit dated.

Corner?!

Maybe. Usually top ten picks have actual production AND fantastic athletic traits. OJ Howard timed very fast and very agile. He did have very concerning numbers for explosiveness.
