Understood and generally agree... except when it comes to Josh Allen. Drafting him terrifies me. If we do, I'll eventually get behind it as long as we have a good vet to start for a year. Still, we can have our preferences... Mayfield Darnold Rosen Jackson Rudolph ...in that order for me

Good.. he's probably getting way overpaid.

Really? Why? ...but... okaaaaaayyyyyy

Meh... okay... but I'm more inclined to get a sub par Matt Moore who's going to be uber cheap to back up Mayfield or Darnold when we draft him so we can invest our money elsewhere... like OL & WR.

I hope so He's my #2 Me too!!! But in the opposite order

Humber, Jones, and Ducasse didn't play nearly as big a role in making the playoffs as Taylor did. That much is obvious and trying to make it seem like they did is just dumb. Taylor is gone. He played the most important individual position on the Buffalo Bills team that finally broke the longest playoff drought in North American sports. He obviously gets a helluva lot more credit for helping break that drought than an LB who started like half the games this year, a pretty crappy guard, or a WR who touched the ball on a whopping 2.6% of the team's total offensive plays. That was a helluva great comparison, though

If you're trying to move on, why don't you just stop this fruitless endeavor of talking about him with others? The only vestige of a surprise... too funny... What they got for Taylor was utterly shocking... especially with the value people assumed Taylor had. McDermott and Beane have made all the right moves. They clearly wanted to upgrade over Taylor, but with a clear and obvious upgrade and not at "any cost whatsoever" as some painted it. The Bills got the 1st pick in the 3rd round for Taylor and with the Cordy Glenn trade, as well, it's clear Beane and McDermott have that upgrade in mind and they're damn well going to make sure it happens. This move was really a win win for all parties involved... one of those rare deals that truly becomes that. But based on what Buffalo was expected to get for Taylor, this was an absolutely stellar move and total no-brainer on Beane's behalf.

Rosen's injury history seriously concerns me, but most of all, I question his character, love for the game, and ability to be a leader of men. I realize you might just be dismissive of those concerns, but I think those things really matter for QBs. I won't hate us drafting him, but I'm going to be a little apprehensive.

Okay hang on a second... so is that right that we traded Glenn, moved up 9 spots in the first round to #12 and gave Cincy our 5th and got their 6th? Holy crap this is getting wild and crazy folks!!! Makin moves!!! Pretty clear McDermott and Beane are truly going all in on drafting our Franchise QB!!! Or could it be possible these are efforts to clear up Cap space to sweeten the pot for Kirk Cousins by also pointing to all our draft picks to build around him? Just... for God's sake.... please DON'T let it be Josh Allen!!!

Draft only or draft and vets? Draft and vets it would be: 1) Luck 2) Brees 3) Mayfield 4) Cousins 5) Darnold 6) Rosen Draft only it would be: 1) Mayfield 2) Darnold 3) Rosen 4) Jackson 5) Rudolph 6) Anyone but Allen

Yeah... all ONE of them we've had this millennium

I think everyone knows how we got into the playoffs. Success!!! Drought broken! And now onto finding our Franchise QB and getting a ring!

Yes. It is. And it was. So agrees the message board.

Yep, you're right, the team made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years with Tyrod Taylor at QB... not something a long list of QBs since Doug Flutie couldn't do, including Rob Johnson/Kelly Holcomb/Drew Bledsoe/JP Losman/Trent Edwards/Brian Brohm/EJ Manuel/Thad Lewis/Jeff Tuel/Kyle Orton. You can argue that sets the bar low. It absolutely does. But we got the playoff monkey off our back and Taylor was a big part of that. So yes, success. Moving on...

There were reports out of the combine from anonymous GMs that he was the guy blowing teams away in the interview/film room process.

Dude... we broke a 17 year playoff drought. Of course it was... duuuuuuhhhhhh.....

Well... let's talk about this... you a grower or a shower?

Weird connection I know... but I felt Mayfield was actually a distant 3rd to Rosen and Darnold for McBeane simply because of his height, but if it's true the Bills (with the Jets) are really going hard after Breed (who's never leaving NO), maybe that's an encouraging sign that McBeane aren't valuing the true "tall pocket passer" thing I thought they might solely value. And no, I'm not trying to say Mayfield = Brees

Why?

Welcome back from clearly being banned... kinda pathetic... 24 hours out after a month or so absence due to... umm... "high level business meetings?" ... and I don't know why or how long you're even here since this will be a super exciting and positive offseason... I mean... do I even have time to brew us a pot of coffee before you disappear into the night (voluntarily or not) after all your binge posting as you so consistently do? Oh.... psssst... I'd change the title so as not to giveaway the fact that you're also a chauvinistic douche... women are Bills fans and on this message board, too

Clearly that's what McDermott is going to say... yes

Well... we're trading up in the 1st!!!

Me neither... and we'll still have 5 picks left in the first 3 rounds and 9 more picks in the first 5 rounds

Buffalo Bills (OAK mock trade) Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma. The Bills make it four quarterbacks in the top 10 by trading up to land Mayfield, who is as good a bet as any to be the first QB off the board or fourth. He'd be a great fit in Buffalo, and I can see the Bills wanting to get ahead of Miami and deny their division rivals the chance to draft him while potentially fixing their QB situation for good. For purposes of this mock, we'll say the Bills' 2019 first-rounder is the main asset going back to Oakland in addition to No. 21.

Loser ??????
