    2018 draft would you be upset if

    I am of the school you first need a great QB but baring that, one wins in the trenches so its OL and DL first...absolutely against a RB in the first two rounds..unless of course the next OJ (sans sharp edged weapons) is available when you pick

     

    Do NT/DE, OT with first two picks, then in second go for a WR, LB, DB ( from the BPA list in the 2nd round)

    Would a certain Nittany Lion RB fall into that OJ-esque category for you? He sure as hell does for me.

    This is a serious question to you and everyone else.

     

    Let's just say you are in charge of the Bills and the draft. We have the team we have now. Everyone including you knows we need a QB. You spend months and months scouting players live, watching film, meeting with your scouts, interviewing coaches and the quarterbacks, going to combine and pro days. Everything.

     

    There are let's say two guys you think are clearly above the others. Those are the guys you want. Two guys you like a lot but have serious reservations about. And two guys you think are not as good as others think and probably overhyped.

     

    I don't know this but I would bet this is BASICALLY true of every GM. Maybe they like three guys a lot, maybe only one. But you get the picture.

     

    The question and point is, if both of the two guys you LOVE are gone already, no matter how hard you tried to trade up to get him, do you draft a QB at 15 or 20 that you are not completely sold on because you think you need a franchise QB, instead of a guy available you love at a position of need who was graded much higher than the QB. And just hope the QB works out?

     

    Becaus that is the most likely scenario. We are not getting one of the top two guys. None of them are sure things. Everyone including them have questions. We have a bunch of holes to fill. Do you just draft the QB and hope?

    I am firmly of the belief that you either get your guy or get value for your pick in the draft, especially when it comes to QB's. I sense that we are looking at a front office that follows that very same thought process based on what we saw in the 2017 draft, which I do believe McD had his hands all over. Guy's not there? Trade down. Guy we want slipped? Trade up.

     

    I hope they are looking at Mayfield as I don't see the top 3 lasting until the Bills pick. However, if the Bills slip in the remaining games this season and end up in the top ten picks, I'd see about packaging a 1 and 2 or even the two firsts to get the guy they want.

    Dareus traded to Jacksonville!

    Sitting poolside in our rented villa in Ubud, Bali. Yes, I am rubbing it in. Saw the news early this morning our time. Wanted to enjoy the tranquility of this place for a while longer before I read this thread.

     

    After reading your opinions and arriving at my own, I'm with those that believe that MD was an even bigger locker room issue than we were led to think. You don't just salary dump as space-eating, run-stuffing DT who was picked 4th overall for a 6th rounder without valid justification. I think he was a princess and wouldn't buy into the last two systems and that showed each time he stepped on the field. I expect him to play his hardest in Jax though, so others will undoubtedly throw that at the "good riddance" crowd. Problem is that he hasn't done it in 4 seasons in Buffalo.

     

    Started reading this thread from the beginning and all the nonsense I've seen for some reason, yours stands out. Shady isn't going anywhere. He's buying into the team approach, the process etc.

    Surely you and everyone else can see this. Buy in or get out. Your salary isn't the deciding factor.

    Never react to a poster with"69" in his screen name and that guy has two of them.

    So if someone disagrees with Kaepernick you are assuming they are heterosexual white male...the hypocrisy in this comment is stunning, no prejudice with you at all is there.

    Prejudice? No. The question I posed was in relation to those that cannot see the inequality and injustice that he is protesting against. I happen to fall into the white, heterosexual male category but I see the issue clearly. I travel with a good friend who is African-American. It's a running joke that he's going to get "randomly selected " for a search at the airport. 100% of the time he does. Not a word of a lie. He has been ticketed twice for jay walking. Jay walking!! He was pulled out of his car and cuffed last year when he was caught going 12 mph over the limit. The guy owns his own business, is s model citizen, is as friendly a himan as you will ever know and is completely treated this way because of the color of his skin. I believe protesting that snd drawing attention to that is very important.

    If they act like adults, the first question from the NFL is, "What can we do, together and collectively and appropriately, do to support the cause of civil rights, social equity, and social equality that does not include kneeling during the anthem."

     

    And Kaep should say "Open you wallets, start investing more in the cities you extract profit from. When you've taken billions in direct tax dollars to build stadiums and then used those stadiums to further extract profit from the region, you should think about using a small amount of that to support the people who root for us and support this league."

     

    Sensible people from this starting point can work toward a mutually agreeable solution that a) avoids turning what is not an "anthem protest" (no one is protesting the anthem, stop it) into a continual hot button issue that sadly continually included the doophus at 1200 Pennsylvania Ave and b) gets the NFL and its players a place and platform to actually develop programs and contribute, and c) gets Kaep a place to air his point, make amends with the league, and get a job back.

    Page 1 and the thread should have ended here. For those thinking he "disrespected the anthem and the flag", do you value a song more than the people it represents? This is my major issue with the "anti-Kaepernick" and anti-anthem kneeling crowd. What do the song and the nation for which it was written really mean if the people are subjected to the discrimination that they are subjected to in this nation every day? I've got to assume you are a white heterosexual male if you don't see it.

    Believe it or not, people on the BBMB were ready to set OBD on fire for not hiring Hue Jackson.

     

     

     

    I tell you a surprise firing. Tennessee canning Mularkey for not making playoffs and hiring McDaniels. Jon Robinson is the GM of the Titans and him and McD are close.

     

    Talk about the perfect marriage? McD+Mariota=scary.

    Not that big of a surprise there. Tennessee looked to be on the fast track to success....then the injury bug hit and they started to look straight out-coached in every game. Mularkey is a perfect fall guy.

    As for McDaniels, Tenn would seemingly be the type of opportunity he has been holding out for. The talent is there and they should have good draft position to improve upon it further. Good connection of the dots.

    This type of stuff needs to end - Fan on fire

    I was at the Game in Seattle last year and it was so nice to see a good, standard rowdy crew of drunk Bills fans/tailgaters that weren't body slamming or trashing tables or jumping through fire. It's ridiculous! My friends who aren't Bills fans just laugh at me. More than one have asked "how are those your people?" They aren't! They happen to cheer for the team I do, but they make a mockery out of us all.

     

    It needs to end. People are getting hurt and it's just getting worse.
