And IMMEDIATELY FIRE Beane after the draft
This^^ Getting top D talent doesn't mean jack if that same talent wants to be traded after 2 years because we have a stagnant offense We didn't trade down last year to stay put, I simply can't believe that

What if they're high on Mccarron. Instead of being aggressive, sit back and grab your QB, and bolster your roster with top end young talent.
Who knows, will be interesting
Probably because they've been trying to bolster the roster year in and year out. Which will basically mean settling for whatever QB is there at 12 will amount to continuous mediocrity at best. I want consistent playoff appearances, and that starts with upgrading the QB position. Can't rely on this team winning or that team losing every year

The majority of posters seem to want to employ a strategy of trading most of our picks for the right to draft "a franchise QB".
The Jets just made a move that almost ensures additional years of losing football with a young QB playing short handed with a weak roster and all the expectations in the world. No offensive weapons to use, poor offensive line, holes all over the front 7 on defense.
The Bills are now in a position to do the opposite, draft to fill the roster with young cost-controlled players to add to the talent base they have.
Six picks in the first 96. Chance to get QB, LB, CB, DT, OL and WR. Why would you choose the pathway the Jets are taking which pretty much ensures competition with the Dolphins for last place in the AFC East.
Love to read your thoughts on this.
Yeah but with the Jets having so much cap space and signing free agents left and right, for them to trade up didn't really hurt them at all. A top QB behind McCown and the ability to fill holes with top free agents doesn't exactly spell doom for a team. As for the Bills, how many years have we strengthened every other position than QB to have at best a record of 9-7?
With this being a draft class of so many QBs to choose from, why not try something different than bolstering non QB positions that haven't gotten us anywhere for the last 17 years? And for those who want to stay at 12 and take a QB there, I don't get that at all. It doesn't make any sense to trade last year's 1st to KC for us to move up to 12 and stay there for the sake of not improving the most important position. Guys like Brady and Wilson are one in a million shots.
I'm tired of waiting to find a needle in a haystack, we've tried that too many times to just settle at 12. Some will say guys like Allen, Rosen and Mayfield are one in a million shots as well, but being aggressive worked for Philly and LA. Time to at least try something different

Seriously.
I know that people here really believe in him... why?
Plenty of past NFL players have been drafted for physical potential (Ryan Leaf, RG3, Jamarcus Russell, Blaine Gabbert, Blake Bortles, etc) and have simply flamed out.
I've never seen a college QB so devoid of college production being propped up this much based off of what I can only believe to be purely physical potential.
It's head scratching and infuriating because this guy looks like a project 2nd or 3rd round QB at best, to me.
What are people focused on? Throws he can make??? Haven't we had enough of these project QBs that are "balls of clay" for us to mold?
There's something I'm missing.
What is it?
I know there isn't a single QB in the NFL HOF with his forgettable production from a second-rate college football program like Wyoming. Is he supposedly going to break that trend?
What the hell... someone explain this to me so I can get behind him sooner rather than later if we draft him...
hopefully, we don't.
I'm not sold on him myself.The one thing that's stuck out to me is Beane liking McCaron's competitive nature. Only QB like that that I've seen in this draft is Mayfield. I think he has an edge over the other top QB prospects in that regard

My feelings exactly.
Well said.
Bolster this roster, it's not every year you have a shot at 5 top 65 prospects, 6 top 100. A great draft and we are instantly set up for a future of consistentcy.
Can't throw that all away on a question mark at QB.
Over the last several years, we hardly threw any picks away for a QB, and there were still question marks. And we've tried bolstering every other position but QB. Why would this year be any different?

No one knows who the Jets want, or who the Bills want. No one knows if the Jets guy will be there at 3. No one knows if the Bills guy will be there at 2. Or 12. It’s ok to speculate who you think everyone wants and where these players will go but smokescreens are heavy and every year there are surprised in the draft. Surprise trades, surprise drops, etc. It’s pointless to get upset about anything until after the draft. Even then it’s too early but I get everyone has their “favorite” QB or ideal draft. Just don’t understand the angst with so little info out there.
Have to agree with this, I honestly believe the Jets did this trade partly to make the Bills force their hand. If they really do end up taking Allen, you're gonna be able to hear a collective sigh in NYC

They didnt have gusto to do it now what would change on draft night? Buffalo knows what it would take and that is why they made that trade with the Bengals. Beane is too calculated to trade to 3 this far out from the draft. The top organizations are not going to grade the top 5 Qbs similar. They are not all going to be great pros. The NFL has 13 good QBs. This draft isnt going to produce 5. Figure out which one you like best and get him if you think he is a Franchise Qb. Maybe 3 was the only option I dont think that is case. Gettleman wants a kings ransom that Buffalo can pay. 1 is the qb they want going to be their? 2 Is that Qb worth the price tag. Without knowing 1 or 2 I dont understand why you trade that far up.
Good points, but Beane may be under more pressure than we think. Since the Colts chose trading back with the Jets, like many others have said, the Giants will more than likely force any team to mortgage a ton of picks. Can't really say I'd be happy with settling for second best when the opportunity was there to grab a top rated talent. Then again, maybe we don't even go with QB at all now
-
I think this is exactly what the Jets want us to do just to see us possibly blow up our draft this year and and lose our 1st next year. But still, it leaves an insanely bad taste in Bills' fans mouths to more than likely lose out on a top QB. Because let's face it, with all the FA signings, none of them pale in comparison to trading up. So now it appears our offseason is pretty meh if not gross
-
It sounds more like the Pats don't believe Brady will retire. If Brady did retire, I'm not sure McCaron signs with the Bills, seeing as his only competition there would be Hoyer.
Signing AJ is kind of a meh move to me since he hasn't had much time in the position since coming into the league. But this move does scream the Bills will move up. I just pray Josh Allen isn't the pick

I should have known this would be impossible
Well you gotta look at the fact that we've been passing up franchise QBs for so long while other teams have been getting theirs. We can't keep hoping for a diamond in the rough every year. With the picks we have, this may be the only chance we have to move up and roll the dice. Now if we end up signing a FA QB, then your idea has a shot of working

Broncos make the most sense for Cousins. They are built to win now. Cousins makes them a contender. Cousins isn't the type to turn a franchise around but he can be a final piece to a team ready to win now.
Not quite sure how the Broncos are built to win now given what we saw of them last year. I think Vance Joseph was as much the problem as their QB situation and they're bringing him back for another year. Losing Wade Phillips hurt them pretty bad too

You are right, sorry. If they had lost the 2nd game to them they still would not have made the playoffs though.
True but with how Watson was playing, I'm sure Tennessee would have been blown out at home. I do not look forward to playing Houston next year, especially if JJ Watt is healthy

Tenn beat the Texans twice without Watson. So if the Texans win that div then Tenn probably loses at least one of those games and does not make it.
Twice without Watson?!?! Did you not see the 50 burger he put up on Tennessee? He didn't play the Titans the second time because of his knee injury

So what Hindsight on Watson is 20/20 and what exactly has he done anyways?
Talk about Watson when he does something. Who was in the playoffs this year? Tyrod Taylor. So Watson who ?
Ok let's be fair here not to mention realistic. You're actually gonna say the Bills still would have made the playoffs had Watson's season not been cut short? Houston would have taken that division and Tennessee would have had the wild card. Watson was playing every bit as good as any QB at the time he got hurt

A lot of people are scoffing at this and not taking it seriously at all, like the vast majority of people. Most people think there is no chance this will be successful and although I haven't watched wrestling in about 20 years, but I know McMahon is a determined and the man took professional wrestling from a fragmented regional business, to a worldwide billion dollar industry. Hence he is being underestimated.
Lol that wasn't a shot at McMahaon, far from it. But as it's been mentioned by a lot of people, pro football is almost seeming like it's scripted. Well, that's right up McMahon's alley. Got me to thinking about something. Isn't it odd that 2 QBs ended up with knee injuries that were playing probably better than Brady? Watson lost to Brady, but probably wouldn't have if he didn't get hurt and Houston made the playoffs. Then there's Carson Wentz who was staring at league MVP in the face before his knee got wrecked. And if he didn't get hurt and was starting the SB, Brady probably wouldn't stand a chance in hell of winning.

What's to underestimate? He's in the entertainment business, the NFL is becoming his kind of entertainment. Guess he figures he has a shot now

They aren't giving up a top ten QB for nothing.
I wouldn't trade for him, but I think they would want more.
No way Smith is worth a first given his age. You'd trade a first for a guy that may play 2
more years?

To get Alex Smith we probably would have to use one of our first rounders. I also think we would have to trade up Roquan.
Why in the world would we turn around and give KC's first round pick back for Alex Smith?

I might agree with signing Bradford if we had an o line good enough for pass protection. As it stands, there's no way we could keep Bradford upright and he'd probably last all of 2 weeks in to the season
-
My biggest question is whether or not the Bills make a move before the draft. Didn't the Eagles and Rams do their trading like
months before the draft?

Probably a good decision by both the Titans and Meathead.
Actually it's gonna keep the Titans from doing much of anything from here on. Tennessee won't do much of anything watching the Texans and Jags fight over the division

I wouldn't mind Cousins coming here. People are saying he'd have a good RB in Shady to work with, but Shady isn't the only thing he'd have going for him. The thought of Cousins to Benjamin is every bit as intriguing, not to mention Clay as well.
A lot of people criticized Taylor for not trusting his receivers enough, but I don't believe that would be an issue with Cousins. If we go in to the draft and build up talent with our slew of picks, or even trade up for one of the top QBs, it'll massively make it quite an exciting off season

Getting a QB means nothing? That's where it all starts. If it means nothing, then how
come the Bills had a 17 year playoff drought? Not to mention a trade up really helped the Eagles and completely turn the tide in LA.
With the salary cap going up and the Bills being in great shape capwise next year, this year is probably the best time to gamble. Waiting for the next diamond in the rough hasn't worked for this franchise.
