The Zay Jones pick was a massive waste to trade up for. I think McDermott wanted to get a WR and his coach knew the guy. Low upside, just like the projected backup QB taken in the 5th.
Too many picks thrown away trading up. Bills can't afford to keep burning picks which happens every year.
Biggest mistake was punting on QB. I think Andy Reid and John Gruden know more about QB's than Sean McDermott. But that seems to be the Buffalo special, hiring defensive head coaches that don't value high quality QB play.
Agree on all counts.
Only three WRs were off the board at the time of the trade up and all of them went before #10.
I thought it was a useless trade up, because Jones profiles as a possession WR with average physical traits.
We again kicked the can down the road at QB, and our 9-11th pick next year, combined with KCs 23rd pick is not going to be enough to get to #1 overall to take Darnold or Rosen.
The Bills as an organization tend to get stuck on backup QBs. Three years on Trent, three years on Fitzpatrick, going on three with Tyrod.
We'll see, but this team looks like the same 6-7 win team next year.
Also they passed on DT again and Kyle is most certainly coming to the end.

You'd rather have Lattimore over White and next years first and a starting RT? The tradedown was epic win
This is a 6 win team still, gaining no ground on the rest of the AFC.

Funny how all those reports that were decried as "made up", are all true.
People love to hate Sullivan, but once again him and Gleason were 100% right.
But the same radio people will blindly start trumpeting the Bills horn and the same fans will write rosey pictures about how the Bills are doing everything right.
Don't worry McDermott will have another cliche to spit out to make everyone feel better.
The owners, some fans and some media may love McDermott, but I'm not buying it all. He sounds just like Dick Jauron and Doug Marrone when he talks.

Time for all the wanna be GM's on this site to send in their resumes.
In lieu of actual experience, I'd recommend submitting your posting histories here along with your resumes.
Yeah Joe because the career football guys have been so much better with a 7, 7, 7, 6, 4, 6, 6, 6, 9, 8, 7 wins since 2006.

You forgot sunshine and lollipops.
Has Chris Brown commented on this yet?
Sal sure buys it hook line and sinker, and I'm sure John Murphy and his sidecar will push the agenda.
-
How?
They got no elite talent.
-
I'm not sold on Sean the Wrestler at all. In fact he sound a lot like Jauron and Marrone actually. Uses the exact same phrases as they did, with an obsession on Special Teams and working hard.
-
The people that rip any negative reporting and believe that the Head Coach, GM', and Owners are always telling you the complete and total truth live in a land of unicorns and rainbows.
It's always mean Jerry Sullivan "making stuff up".
Pegula saying he never knows "where these reports come from".
-
Thanks for wasting all of our time Doug, good riddance to a terrible gm.
This is what you get when you let Russ Brandon and Ralph decide on GM. Back in 2010 they "scanned a list of names" and settled on two in house candidates: Nix and John Guy.
They looked down the hall for a GM.
And Nix set up his succession plan by hiring Whaley.
-
Funny that once again all the reports were true.
These organizations all deny them, but at the end of the day Rex gets fired, Whaley gets fired, the Sabres FO is being flipped on they are going on their 4th Coach already of the Pegula era.
All the talk of disfuction has been 100% spot on.
-
I'm sorry, you're right, it's sunshine and rainbow season right now. Enjoy that, your next GM search starts in about 12 hours. Good luck with that.
I get this.
The Bills got 0 game changers from this draft.
The best the fans can hope for is average NFL starters.
-
Shirley you can't be serious. Left Rex out to dry? He was a complete and utter train wreck the whole time he was here. At what point to you think Rex was going to suddenly get a grip on things?
I am not arguing if Rex deserved to be fired, but for the Pegula's to leave their Coach hanging in the wind for 3 weeks without saying anything showed a little bit.
So far it doesn't seem like much fun to work in a Pegula organization.
-
Regardless of what you think of him, it is so ugly how they have handled the Whaley situation. If he is fired tomorrow, the way they left him hanging out there is classless.
Both organizations under Pegula are hard to root for. The way they left Rex out to dry, Pegula making an "executive decision", extending Murray then firing him, LaFontaine quitting, undercutting - the rumors and leaks are still flying.
-
I think if Peterman can become the Bills backup he will have beat the odds and maximized his talent, let alone start.
-
Smart.
He still has yet to have a season better than Steve Johnson.
7th Rounder vs 4th overall
-
The real problem is that after the personnel massacre of this offseason........and considering that they had picks in the top 1/3 of each of their rounds........they needed and should have produced an A draft.
Wasn't really good enough.
Had the feel of the Jauron era drafts where they were pillaged in the offseason and then just drafted for need.
Yup. I felt like a Billsy draft.
-
Ahh yes, we're back to the ole QB competition after one season off.
Where 3 backup caliber QBs duke it out on a 6 win football team.
-
Good.
This team has been rudderless going back to Modrak and Russ Brandon.
Nix was picked after Ralph and Russ "scanned a list of names" and then Nix brought Whaley to town.
The team stinks.
-
some fans love being miserable.
We haven't made the Playoffs in 17 years.
-
This is no better than a C draft.
We replaced what we lost in FA with rookies.
Zach Brown or Matt Milano, Robert Woods or Zay Jones, Gilmore or White?
We did not get any better and you have to question if the trade ups were even necessary. They seemed like panic moves.
-
I'm officially giving it a D+... Factoring in all the good talent we passed up in rds 3&4... Poor draft, overall.
Agree.
I think the trade ups were forced. Our situational drafting strategy made no sense.
We again passed on QB when only one was off the board, traded up when only 3 WRs were gone, passsd on DLine again.
We did not get better. This is a 6 win team.
-
Our Coach goes on and on about Special Teams, so this is the 2017 version of Tony Steward.
Yay.
-
C-
Passed on elite talents at #10, replaced FA departures at #27 and #37, trade ups cost a lot.
Maybe 1-2 starters but neither of them are going to great players.
Got very Billsy in Round 2.
I don't see anything different than 6 wins.
-
If they take a QB in the first round next season, he probably sits behind Taylor and plays in his second season. Only way he starts as a rookie is if he's clearly better than Taylor from the get go.
4 years spent on Baltimore's backup.
That's 3 years spent on Trent, 3 on Fitzpatrick and we're going on our 3rd with Taylor.
This team has a chance on a National Champion and passed again.

Distrust.
Pegula fell hard for Rex and let him run the show immediately (with Brandon involved).
Now McDermott is running everything.
He speaks in cliches just like Jauron and Marrone used to.
Also you have to look at time frame. We are going to stink for at least two more years. By then Kyle Williams will be gone, Glenn will about 30, McCoy will be 30-31, and Watkins may or may not be here.
Going on our 3rd year with Tyrod.
