Mostly to do with the 5 in top 15, and the possibility that there could be 7 taken in round one if someone gets desparate that misses out. I probably over did it a little with the title.
The title is misleading. The only legitimate comparison is that a bunch of quarterbacks will likely be taken in the first round and three or four of them early. For this year’s class to dwarf 1983 we would have to wait 20 to 25 years and find out that four of these quarterbacks are in the Hall of Fame.The title is misleading.

I wouldn't trade down for the simple fact that the bills have alot of picks in this draft to begin with.
I am torn about swinging for the fences and trading away said picks...but the bills do need to find an answer at QB. Its been far to long.
I agree with this. Besides, the OP is wrong in asserting that Taylor helped out the offense of line with his scrambling. Just the opposite is true. The offense of line actually played pretty fair during 2017. The problem was Taylor’s tendency to panic under pressure and run into a sack.Again, embedded in the initial post is the ridiculous lingering narrative that Taylor was anything but horrible.

Well, the lead up has been crazy. The draft might be crazier!

The only thing you should build around Tyrod is a waiting room.
It continues to boggle my mind that anybody would trade for Taylor. Such a horrible excuse for an NFL quarterback. I am really hoping that this lingering narrative that he was anything but terrible finally dies out.

What was the topic of this thread again?

To me it’s a red flag but it’s not a dealbreaker. But it is one reason, among several, but he’s not at the top of my list.

Unfortunate having a name like Brogan Roback means he won’t be successful. And please, nobody question me on this it’s science.

Because the most important player on a franchise is their franchise QB. Hell, it’s generally the only position in sports where the term “franchise” is labeled when you have one. Some may consider LT added into that. But nobody is talking about their “franchise” RB, or “franchise” WR. Quarterback is the only position in all of sports that gets that title. And it’s the hardest one to find and by far the most important.
There is no position on any team sport played on this planet that is even close to being as important as the quarterback is to football. The closest, maybe, and it’s not even that close, is the starting pitcher in baseball. But they change every game and get relieved every game. So, I guess what I’m saying is, I agree with you.

No.
He has first hand experience with Kyle Boller, not Josh Allen.
No two players are the same.
Fwiw I agree that he's a huge upside and a very low downside.
The problem is people talk in extremes.
Just because he has great tools doesn't mean he'll be great, but just because he doesn't reach that potential doesn't mean he will be terrible either.
It's not an either-or.
There is plenty of room in the middle.
I completely agree with what you say here. The problem is if the bills draft him at 12 or, more to the point, use draft picks to move up and get him, even ending up in the middle equates to his being a bust.
It’s amazing to read the wide range of predictions about this guy from all of the “experts“. “Polarizing“ is indeed the term to use with regard to him. But, As a bills fan trusting the process, if we get him I’ll be OK with it.

Is there any excuse for a 13? 25 not so hot either. Certainly these fellas that are 1st round potential picks study and practice for this test. They don't show up unprepared and not take it seriously with all that's at stake?

Actually, a score of 20 is average. It equates to a full-scale IQ score of 100. So everyone but Jackson is above average on this intelligence screening test.

Height is so overrated. It would be one thing if Baker was 5’8. He’s measured at 6’1, which is taller than both Russell Wilson and Drew Brees.
If you’re going to find a reason to hate him, you’ll have to go another route cause he has pin point accuracy, a strong enough arm to make all the throws, and football smarts that’s off the charts.
Sorry, but height is very important when it comes to playing quarterback in today’s NFL. That is just the way it is. Just like you can’t teach speed. You can’t teach height. It is a factor that absolutely needs to be considered along with every other measurable. It doesn’t mean he won’t be a successful quarterback. But a short stature works against him. Remember, he won’t be playing at Oklahoma anymore against lousy big 12 defenses.
So, no, the issue of height in an NFL quarterback is not overrated.

From all I've read, he's got the arm talent, but played in an offense in college that didn't require him to go through a series of reads. Word is he locks on one target. We've seen that before, and it didn't end well.
The same is absolutely the case for Mayfield but everyone seems to love him!The same is absolutely the case for Mayfield but everyone seems to love him!

Interesting, the last commentator seemed to suggest that the bills may not take a quarterback at all in the first round! This just doesn’t seem right given all the lead up to this point. However, it’s not implausible. Myself-Full disclosure here-I don’t have a clue as to what they are going to do. I lean towards standing pat and taking the best quarterback they can at number 12. But, if they trade up to get a quarterback, I’m behind it!

The quarterback situation in this year’s draft is insane. However, I find the OP ‘s prediction to be rather improbable given all the information that’s floating out there about these quarterbacks. If the Browns take Darnold the Jets will likely take Rosen.His history of concussions is a non-issue. They are healed. Concussions do that when you give them time. To me the whole issue with his “attitude” is overblown. If somehow the bills got him I would be quite happy. Although I’d rather they not blow all their draft picks on moving up and yesterday at 12 and see who they get. If Allen falls to us at 12 great.But I would be happy with Rudolf or Jackson.
To me, Mayfield is the biggest risk in this draft. He is short, and please don’t cherry pick Brees or Wilson, he is not either of those guys. Plus he is a pure system quarterback who routinely Played against absolutely horrible big 12 defenses, as did Rudolph by the way.
Also, Mayfield is the one to be concerned about his “attitude.“ It’s one thing to be cocky. It’s another thing to be an A-hole. I really hope the bills do not get him. Way too much of a risk in my opinion for many reasons! Between Mayfield and Allen, I would take Allen in a heartbeat.

I didn’t even know who this quarterback was until I googled him. His numbers are pedestrian at best. In my opinion Peterman is a better prospect than him.

Question: If the Bills draft Rudolph at 12, will our wide receivers be running around as wide open as his receivers were at OK State?
No different then Mayfield at Oklahoma.

Agreed. Don’t panic. Let the draft come to you. Take a QB somewhere, but don’t give away the farm to move up. There’s a good chance Mayfield, Allen, Jackson and/or Rudolph will be available where we are picking, and not necessarily with our first pick. Great chance to add starters at LB, DL and maybe WR, along with O-line and RB depth, in this draft.
I do agree with this approach. I’ve actually seen some mock drafts where Mayfield falls to us at 12. Awesome if it happens but it seems quite improbable.
I wish there was an emoji of an exploding head. That’s how I’m starting to feel with all this quarterback/draft tension. I keep telling myself I’m not even going to check in on it today. Yeah, right!

So he started games illegitimately?
No, he just sucked real bad. The only quarterback statistic that matters is wins. The bills made the playoffs in spite of him. What was it, for the last five games he couldn’t even engineer a touchdown in the last quarter?No, he just sucked real bad. The only quarterback statistic that matters is wins.

And you saw this where his 2-2 record with Very Tyrod like games?
In four games he completed 86 out of 133 passes for a 64.7 completion percentage. He threw for 920 yards in those games. He threw six touchdowns and two interceptions. His quarterback reading was 93.6. So I ask you:
In what universe does Taylor ever put up those numbers? This may not be a lot of data. But what is there is impressive.

I actually hope they do this! Rosen is is no sure thing to say the least. I think every “top“ quarterback in this draft is overvalued. By doing this thr Pats* would loseMost of the best draft picks. They have some serious gaps in multiple positions. Please, let this happen!
