  1. 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.

     

    Davis never really gets great separation even against inferior competition. If corners that can't even make division 1 ball keep up with him, how much more will the best corners in the world shut him down?! He's not a jump ball/circus catch WR. He needs separation to make a play, and I don't see that happening against NFL corners.

     

    I would take Ross or Williams any day of the week over Davis, because their skill sets actually translate to the next level. Davis is fools gold IMO.

  2. There's a reason smart teams don't let a player like Gilmore reach FA. He's going to be feeding a lot of people here crow at our expense.

    didn't the Pats let go of Aquib Talib, and Asante Samuel in the past? Good and bad teams both keep decent players, and let them go. In fact, the Pats might be the worst example to pick of a team that retains its star players. Jamie Collins, Chandler Jones, Vince Wilfork, Martellus Bennett, Lawyer Milloy, Wes Welker, are just a couple of difference makers for the Pats that they separated from. You can't keep everybody... No one ever does. and the Pats haven't been flawless in their FA acquisitions either. The main factor in their storied success is BB and the GOAT.

  3. It seems like Whaley learned a little bit, but not enough.

     

    Worth noting that he's taken Karlos Williams & Jonathan Williams in the 5th round of the last two drafts. Look for BYU RB Jamaal Williams in the 5th this year.

    Who would not be a bad pick btw. There are some fantastic RBs through out this entire draft, Williams being one of them.

  4. It's very very tough to say let's take Jamal Adams over over a very good young corner in Lattimore

     

    But Adams can straight dictate games

     

    He is built perfectly and can run very well

     

    His leadership skills are off the charts as well as his field awareness

     

    He is the best all around prospect since Eric berry probably

     

    That's hard to pass up

    Overall as in he doesn't get turnovers? He a great tackler/cerebral/run stopper. But he doesn't get turn overs. I would take Hooker every day of the week over Adams just for the simple fact that he has a trait that can't be taught. Ball hawking deep safeties are a LOT harder to come by than run stopping in the box safeties. And Hooker is actually the best Safety since Berry, not Adams.

  5. I'd be willing to guess that 95%+ of the people on this board who say "tank for Darnold" have not watched more than 2 of his games. Just sheep following the herd.

     

    As was mentioned earlier, pretty much every year next year's QB class will be better...until they are not. While Darnold is good, he is no Luck, Manning, Elway type can't miss prospect (and Manning may not have been either). It's useless to intentionally tank in football unless you have that level of QB prospect. There is just too much uncertainty in wins/losses as well as in the draft.

     

    As for the OP, there is no chance any of those guys is going to achieve the main goal, winning the Super Bowl. So no, it's not worth it to kick those tires IMO.

    YAY! I'm a 5 percenter! I've watched almost all of his games. And you are wrong in saying that Darnold is not an Elway, Luck, Manning type QB. He most certainly is. I am not a USC fan btw, I just like watching good football. And Darnold is the best QB I have seen in quite some time. You must not have watched him play more than 2 games to downplay his ability. This kid is the next peyton manning.

  6. There should be little question about his football ability. Maybe he is mental though.

    if Coach thinks he can work with him? Hell yes.

    He is worth more than Vet Min if he gets on the field. Bills should have him on the radar.

    and lets hope they learned from the twice failed Harvin experiment

     

    Agree the Harvin experiment failed, but you can't compare the 2. Josh Gordon has potential to be the best WR in the NFL when he is on the field, where as Harvin was a gimmick/slot/mismatch type player. I say gamble on a potential 'best at the position' type talent over gambling on a gimmick player.

  7. Has this thread been made yet? If so, I am sorry. I have historically been against tanking a season to get the #1 pick, but now I really like the idea. I'm tired of hoping we found the diamond in the rough on QBs out of the top 5 picks. Often times the QBs taken in the top 5 bust anyways. It is SO dang hard to find a QB that will be a guaranteed quality NFL QB. The last sure thing at QB was Luck, and I don't think you can find a single Colts fan upset that their team purposefully tanked the season to draft him.

     

    We need to do the same thing to draft Darnold. He is the most sure fire star at the QB position since Luck. I say get rid of Tyrod, draft Kelly late in this draft and have him start. If he plays like an All Pro, then we are set! but if he stinks up the joint, we will be sitting pretty to get the best QB prospect since Luck... in fact, he might be better than Luck!

     

    I know it will sting for a year to have unwatchable football, but again, do you think there is 1 Colts fan still upset over their Curtis Painter season now? Suck for Darnold and be guaranteed to have the next great generational QB!!! Go Bills!

     

    PS: think of the children... my 18 year old nephew had no idea that Buffalo was even allowed to participate in the post season. Let's change that and be the Pats of the 2020s!

  8. I wish we would let him go, tank the season, then draft Darnold. We would be set with our franchise QB for the next 18 years. Wouldn't it be nice to say we have one of the best QBs in the NFL on our team, instead of always saying that we 'can win a couple' games with <insert any Bills QB in the last couple decades>.
