With a statement like that, you just put yourself in the 25%.

I am not as convinced that this class of quarterbacks is worth mortgaging the team's future. Yes, the most important position in the NFL is a quarterback, but that does not mean you take any quarterback because there is a need. We did that in 2013 and that did not turn out well. This may be a similar situation.

You may want to include the option "Best Player Available"

Personally, I see many similarities with this draft to 2013 when we just had to find our franchise qb. In 2013 the qb class had no real can't miss qb. All the top qb's had flaws. We all know how that draft worked out for us. Because drafting any qb in this draft class is a gamble, I am in the camp that we should stay at 12 and draft the BPA and take a qb that warrants the pick we use. Any time you draft for need instead of the BPA, that is often where the big "busts" happen. Just my opinion. but I would not be happy if we move up in the draft and give away much of our draft capital. Let's take a qb that falls to us naturally and pick the BPA with each of our picks.

I was born into it. I can not get away from it. I am a Bills fan until the end. God help me.

You are my hero. These thread have been painful. But what does that say about me. I can't stop checking in to TBD 15 - 20 times a day. I have been out with friends in Vegas. We are 3 hour behind this crowd. We watched the golden knights win a double overtime win!

We could not afford him. He would mess up our locker room. He has had declining production. No thank you.

The closest I got to fighting to defend the bills was when I was in Indianapolis back when the colts and the bills were in the Eastern Division. This was during the Kelly era, the bills destroyed the colts. On my way out a very drunken Female Colts fan was very aggressive in trying to take my Bills hat. I am glad to say I was able to retain my beloved Bills hat. (no punches were thrown LOL)

Nice job doing your research. This was really an interesting read. Thank you,

I have been thinking the same thing. We have no one that has a history of developing quarterbacks on our staff. will drafting a franchise quarterback be a waste if we don't know what to do with him?

With the ups and downs we have experienced as Bills fans since the hiring of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane, I got to wondering what the over all confidence do the Bills fans have in this duo. They did take us to the playoffs, even after cutting or trading several players that made many fans believe that the team was tanking in 2017. Now in 2018 we are seeing the Jets trade up to the third pick in the first round while many are frustrated that the Bills will stay at 12 and 22. Others believe that the Bills will do whatever it takes to move up in the draft to select the quarterback they covet the most. Through in the many obvious needs and the new openings on the offensive line, and it seems that McBeane has their work cut out for them. So What do you think? Is the Bills brain trust up to the task? ( I will conduct this poll again after the draft)

Take the best quarterback at 12, then take the BPA with our remaining picks.

This is not that difficult. The last time the bills panicked and had to get their franchise quarterback was 2013. We saw how that worked out. I agree, HOLD!!!

Do you have opinions on any of this draft class quarterbacks. I would appreciate hearing your opinion so we can get a perspective in a couple of years. I favor Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold, Jackson, and Roudolph in that order. If we must select from the second tier of quarterbacks, I would favor Falk and Lauletta.

I guess that settles the debate. Rosen it is.

Most if not all of this quarterback draft class will need some developing. Does anybody on this board feel that there is a member of the Bills coaching staff is good at developing a raw qb? This has me more concerned than who we draft. To me, Daboll is unproven in this area.

O'Dell is obviously talented, but he would not be happy on a rebuilding team. He would be a disruption in the locker room. But, if that trade was made, I still favor Josh Rosen. I like his accuracy and size. I think the other issues about him are over hyped.

I am optimistic that the visionaries that you refer too are McBean. Look how they took a team to the playoffs with very little talent in key skilled positions.

Hugh's makes the most sense. He is either declining or does not fit the current defensive system. He is in of the few high salaries that remain from the previous administration. I am a fan of Jerry, but last year could be his last with the Bills.

This is an amazing dose of reality. Thank you. Very well done.

I have to say I thought Lauletta looked like the best qb at the Senior bowl. But then, so did EJ Manuel.

I know, I keep reading as well. I must go to the stadium wall 20 times a day minimum.

It's not uncommon for a receiver take a year or two to adjust to the NFL. Zay is gong to look better in year 2. Let's hope he can get better with his personal issues.

Just having a little fun myself. You have to admit these threads do get repetitive. Let's start a new thread " Why Mike white will be the #1 pick."

My bad.
