LEBills

I’m a fan of Jackson, but hopefully we have a couple QBs ranked ahead of him.

If someone the Bills like a lot falls to round 4 or 5, I could see it.

Maybin was actually pretty blah at the combine, did a little better at his pro day. Just terrible evaluation through and through.

Don’t you know that he has a sub 60% completion percentage? He is going to be garbage bc of that according to people on this board who know nothing else about him but that.

At what point do scouts and fans start considering him higher than a day 3 pick? His production in college and now measurables are what you usually look for out of a top 15 draft pick.

Louisville’s LT and CB will both be drafted pretty early. Josh Allen had the least talent. LJ and Rosen probably were more comparable in their supporting cast this year. Definitely some talented QBs this year that had to shoulder a big load for their teams. LJ at 21 would be great by me.

Totally would. Peterman probably isn’t an NFL QB so we are gonna need 2 QBs. I’ll take our shiny new first round QB and then Mike White later in the draft.

I think we trade up with our first pick to grab a QB. Then we will trade back with our second pick to recoup the picks we lose moving up.

He will be an Eagle next year because Wentz will be our for several weeks to start the next season with his ACL. The 2019 offseason he or Wentz will be available but not for 2018.

I think we could move up to #2 for him. I think the giants would gladly take 21 and 22. Throw in next years one and I bet they’d do it. Hate losing all those picks but it’d be worth it. Same goes for Indy. still hating on Allen I see! I would still take Allen at our pick if Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield are gone. I’d have to decide between him and Jackson. He has work to do, but at that point every QB is a stab in the dark.

Looking forward to it. Maybe I was projecting a little because I wish we had a shot at him.

I’ll take Chris Hubbard, Justin Evans and splurge on Sheldon Richardson. Put some money into our lines.

It has been a long time now so both of our memories may be a little hazy. Locker was a fun college player tho and really the bright spot that helped turn the program back to decency. i like your shtick most of the time, but Buffalo716 puts a lot of time into the draft and it’s QBs. Let him do his evaluations without acting like he is the town drunk, he could be right even if the Pac12 expert disagrees. I tend to think he is in this case.

Beans wasnt on board for last draft, and one draft is a pretty small sample size to say the bills won’t do something. anyway, good player at Boise. A second day prospect.

I’m with you on Rosen, dude. Something could stop him from being great but he probably has the best chance out of the bunch to be awesome. Great arm, great mechanics, pro concepts, good accuracy, great size, smart, carried a team devoid of talent. When Jay questions you and your opinions, just remember that he loved Jake Locker after watching like all of his games in person or something like that. Just goes to show that none of us can predict the future but your opinion is as well researched as they come on TBD.

If either Mike White or Lauletta go on the second day I’ll eat my shoe. On TBD, we fans always undervalue truly good prospects (saying we can’t afford to move up for them) and being willing to throw away early picks for mediocre QBs that will be there in the 5th. People literally said the same thing about Peterman going in the second round last year.

I’m rooting for the XFL. If I was McMahon: 1. Allow players right out of high school. That gave the USFL a chance. 2. Keep it under 2 hours like he says he will. People don’t have time for 4 hour games, keeping things fast will make more people want to watch. 3. Make it very streamable - I will watch it on my phone rather than the TV. Still play it on TV but make sure I can watch it any way I want. 4. Make the viewing experience unique something else he has talked about, giving lots of angles. Maybe make body cams so you can switch between watching the game traditionally or from your favorite QB or LBs point of view. 5. Don’t go into traditional markets. Someone already said STL, Oakland, San Diego. All great ideas! I’d also stick with smaller markets near big cities like Portland, Hartford, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Toronto, etc. That way you have teams with much less competition for football. 6. Make the tickets cheap. Part of footballs problem is it is impossible for fans to go to games anymore. Partly because the television experience is great but also because it costs an arms and a leg. 7. Eliminate punts after the 50 yard line.Make all extra points 2 point conversions. Eliminate kickoffs. 8. Reduce the commercials, put ads on the jerseys or bottom of the screen but keep the action moving. 9. Return the catch rule back to the way it was when we didn’t debate about it all the time and make PI 15 yards rather then unlimited. 10. Do whatever it can to develop stars, not just gimmicks. Do that by hiring quality coaches and personnel men from the college and Pro ranks. Manziel, Tebow and those retreads won’t cut it.

Love Lamar! Really enjoyed how many of those throws were from the pocket and on the money. He is inconsistent but he certainly can do everything you want out of a QB.

If the “major player news” is breaking next week, then how are there details tomorrow? El Paso...I spent a month there one night.

I was fairly young but I used to love watching Brees at Purdue. He was such a fun QB to watch and really wanted the Bills to draft him bc I was a fan, not because I knew he’d be a HOF. I think Baker is fun like Brees was, so I hope he has a similar career. for anybody that wants to see Brees in college:

I agree he is not a nuanced pocket passer. But he is a nuanced passer when he is allowed to move away from his pocket. He makes very good decisions and throws when he is allowed to play the way he is comfortable. and good to hear we are in agreement that he will need to learn to play different in the pros because it’s only going to get harder to see passing lanes when the game gets faster. And the odds are stacked against him with Brees being his only predecessor that has found success. I think Brees was the better athlete coming out of college too so Mayfield is really going to be reality checked at the NFL level with the talent he will be competi against. It’s going to be interesting, and I’m rooting for him like I am all QBs in this class.

This is good to hear. As much as we like to take sides on which QB will be good or not, it’s preferable that as many can succeed as possible.

I’d take either at 12, but only if it costs us a 2nd or less to move up. Neither are sure fire but both have great upside.

Baker isn’t really a pocket passer right now. He makes some plays from the pocket. He is short tho and drifts out of the pocket a lot so he can see downfield. He is a much more nuanced passer than Manziel was and processes info well. But he is going to have to learn to be like Brees in finding his lanes while staying in the pocket a lot more. Took Brees a couple of years and it will probably take Mayfield some time too but if he figures it out he will be dynamite.

Didn’t say it did, did I?
