Taking a CB in the first round would be another management failure. You fail to lock up a starting CB longterm and the first off-season he leaves you spend a top 10 pick on that same position? More spinning wheels. I don't deny that it is a need, but boy does it look bad for management.

For the 3rd time Marquise Williams was an amazing collegiate qb.
Who? I've never even heard of this guy. And he was an amazing college QB?
-
Overall he's got the look of an NFL QB, but I'm not sure how high his upside is. Maybe he's Matt Ryan, maybe he's Ryan Tannehill, maybe he's Alex Smith, maybe he's Blaine Gabbert.
He looks like a Blake Bortles type guy to me. Somewhere along the Bortles and Tannehill spectrum. I don't think he completely flops like a Gabbert.

Devin Thomas. Second WR off the board after Donnie Avery.
Neither is to be compared with C. Davis, who is an absolute stud and probably worthy of a top ten pick.
Yeah that's the guy.

All that said, I was given a strong indication Butler prefers to be a "Patriot for life." He wants to make it work in New England.
We all know there is only one Patriot for life and he doesn't wear Butler's number.

Meh on Corey Davis. Reminds me a lot of that WR from Michigan State a few years back, who scouts said was the most pro ready WR on the draft. And he turned out to be sub par at everything.
I know exactly who you are talking about but I can't recall his name. That was a poor WR draft. I'm not sure any went in the first round that year. Same year we got Hardy I think. I believe a couple of good ones like Jordy Nelson and Desean Jackson were taken in the second round.
-
.....great...same ones that swept us......can't get MUCH lower..................
Have you noticed the players they've dropped this off-season? Jets will win 3 games next year at the most. They are in full tank mode.
-
No.. We wont have the roster to compete in week 1!
Hey, maybe they will schedule us the Jets week 1.
-
Ross shouldn't even be in the discussion. Like Williams and Davis equally but I don't go WR, with Tyrod
Unless we bring in a decent free agent, we are going to have to address the position within the first two rounds.
-
Tannehill's been the starter in Miami for like 10 years. That's not a bridge QB.
Congratulations on naming 3 organizations that suck more than Buffalo. WE'RE NOT THE WORST!!!
It doesn't matter if it's a mile long bridge or a 100 yard bridge. A bridge is a bridge. It has to do with a QB's overall ability. Tannehill's ability is that of a bridge QB. I didn't name those organizations just to name them. They are examples of teams who have routinely tanked, intentionally or not and have nothing to show for it.

Bill Barnwell broke down that Glennon has a 54% completion percentage on throws between 0 and 10 yards. The NFL average is 73% for such throws. Glennon is going to have to improve that percentage significantly if he is going to succeed.
-
I think we all know this. Sammy's two worst enemeis are 1. a limited QB in run heavy scheme and 2. his own health issues
We have seen Sammy when healthy put up big numbers even with a limited QB and run heavy scheme but we have also seen him get neglected with the same QB and scheme. And then of course he hasn't helped himself with his injuries.
-
That's why you have a good vetting process. If only Trump owned the team.
-
Fills arguably our biggest hole on defense so that is nice. I'd like to see us bring in a veteran CB so we are not forced to use a day one or two draft pick on one.
Biggest question marks still are WR#2, WR#3 and CB#2/#3.

Problem with trying to tank, presuably to get a top QB next year, have you seen how well the Jets are set up to tank this year? I'd also still throw the Browns in there as well. They will be a very young team all around next year so I still see them as a 2-3 win team max. I know anything can happen, but currently as the two teams are constructed it is hard to see the Bills losing to the Jets twice. And that speaks more to how much worse the Jets are on paper compared to last year because I don't think the Bills currently are any better on paper, we've probably taken a step back for sure. But Jets have taken several steps back.
Also, throw in the very real possibility of Darnold going back to school.
When a team has a "bridge QB," which is NFL-exclusive as the "high ankle" that no one else seems to have .... anyway, when a team has a bridge QB, they're saying, "hey, our QB sucks. But we're still gonna try to win games and probably eek out 7 or 8 of them while we evaluate the talent of the rest of the team."
Why bother?
Why not just REALLY suck and get a couple decent picks?
Because there are plenty of examples of teams that have used a "bridge QB" and have still managed to make the playoffs. Dolphins last year are a perfect example. Their team was nothing special overall and there QB is nothing special. Yet they made the playoffs. For the Bills to not be able to make one playoff appearance over the last 17 years with a bridge QB is just another embarrassment on a long list of embarrassments.
How many times have the Browns and Rams blown it up and gotten nowhere? Tanking does not guarantee success. Jets seem to have a leg up on us in that race anyways. Even if we released Taylor, Jets overall are probably worse. And Browns with such a young roster will likely still be pretty bad, much like the Rams have always been bad with young rosters.

We pay 27 mil to a crap qb and 0.00 to an elite corner
L o l.
He's a good corner. I wouldn't say elite. He's getting paid like an elite corner.
-
this is just gross.
Not the ideal way to wake up in the morning.
-
How is this shocking?
You guys are delisuionak. Why would he take a pay cut?
It's shocking from a Patriots stand point. When is the last time they went out and signed a free agent for top dollar? That is not there thing.
-
He didn't even take a pay cut, Pats giving him more than $14 million per year.
That is shocking if true. Hopefully this signing works out for them as well as the Byrd signing did for the Saints.
-
Well seems like we are doubling down on the ground and pound philosophy even without Rex. Re-sign Taylor and bring in a bruising back to go along with the two good backs we already have on the roster.
-
I prefer to get owned while all the other 1pm games are taking place instead of being in the national spotlight on a Monday or Thursday against these clowns.
As long as it's in New England it should be close. For some reason they whoop us good at our house.
-
I think it ends up being New England actually. Only divisional opponent the Bills have not played on Thursday night. I believe we have played both the Jets and Dolphins twice each. Overdue for the Pats on Thursday.
-
I'm totally fine with spending a little extra cash to keep TD Mike. Just don't want to break the bank, hopefully it won't come to that. We all thought we might miss Karlos and that never happened. RB's are easily replaceable so who knows, we could keep running and not miss a beat without Gileslee but rather just keep the guy.
-
If we somehow lose both Taylor and Gilmore in the same off-season it may be the final straw for Whaley.
Trading back into Round 1 for a QB

As long as the trade does not cost us a 2018 1st round pick I'm good with anything. That means we would probably have to move into the very late first round. 28-32.
