My thoughts exactly! You’re not getting Tyrod for a naked turkey sandwich. The days of taking advantage of the Bills organization is over. That being said I’m not opposed to the idea. Only I would not spend a 1st on Rudolph, he should be there at 53. BPA combo of DT, LB or WR at 21 and 22 and Rudolph at 53 would be ideal ( if that’s the plan). Personally I’d rather give a 2nd and 4th for Foles than just buy Bradford.

No way we give up a 1st for Foles in any equation. A 2nd and 3rd this year or a 2nd this year and a 2nd next year should do it. If you're spending more than that spend it on a younger franchise QB like Rosen, Darnold or Mayfield.

Not that much steam! Jeez!

Anyway, we can all agree it's a crapshoot as to who drafts who and when. What I really want to know is do you think Rudolph makes it to 53 and would you be upset or psyched if we get him? Assuming we got any combo of Panye/ Ridley or Vea/ Sutton or Evans/ Kirk

Again, when say " losing steam" I mean Mayfield in the conversation as a top 3 QB being taken. Yes, he will go anywhere between 5-10 but just a few weeks ago he was talked about as the #1 overall. ?

When has the plan ever changed? Isn't that what every coach, team and fan base wants? We all can't have a generational QB on every team.

So you're saying there's a chance? ?

I made a similar post around the same time. I feel a merger coming on.

Mostly other outlets. Mock drafts, NFL analysts and several articles The Bills just have so many needs to fill that I just can't see paying the price to get someone who may not turn out to be any better than someone later on the board. Also by "losing steam" I mean positioning on the big board. The Big 4 (Rosen, Darnold, Allen and Mayfield) are all Top 15 locks IMO.

I've noticed that Rudolph along with Mayfield have lost a lot of steam in the QB draft conversation. Seems Rosen and Darnold are concensus Top 5 locks while Allen and Jackson are picking up the pace. Mayfield talk is still there but not as enthusiastic as a few weeks ago. Rudolph is starting to look like an afterthought and consolation prize. I know stats and observations don't mean much to many fans but: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-draft-rankings-arm-strength-accuracy-and-everything-to-know-about-qbs/ Going by this Rudolph appears to be the most well rounded QB of the bunch scoring very high in most categories. I'd hate to use any of our (2) first rounders on him but I can see #53 or a trade up after the picks in Round 1. If we could get a stud DT/WR/ or LB with our first 2 and get Rudolph in the second that would be quite the score JMO. Does he drop that far or close to it? Would you be on board with this? I know he's not the sexy pick with the canon arm and killer wheels but he can possibly be a quality pro with proper coaching. On the record I'd rather get Foles for a 2nd at most.

After witnessing what he was able to accomplish last year I have no place in disagreeing with whatever McD plans on going with. The man ended the drought in his first year with limited talent, instilling a sense of discipline and belief and a little luck. Sure he made some rookie mistakes with time management and the whole NateP fiasco but the man has a vision and an eye for talent specific to his plan. If he feels Jackson or any of the other viable option at QB can bring this team closer to a title I'm all in.

Eagles have fielded - not solicited - more than one inquiry and offer for Nick Foles. Eagles' basic answer is it's going to take more than the 1st and 4th round picks they got from Vikings for Sam Bradford. Foles is Super Bowl MVP and best insurance policy in NFL. Did Pennsylvania legalize marijuana?

Every QB is a "system" QB. The "system" is built around the QBs strengths and talent. The difference between the average and the elite is the ability to adapt and improvise and still succeed when defenses figure out or slow down the scheme they run.

Yeah, they're loaded alright. Giving up 505 yards passing and over 100 yards rushing is reminiscent of the 85 Bears.

Totally disagree. If Foles didn't slay Brady then what or who did? The Philly defense that gave up over 600 yards of offense? Foles went toe to toe with Brady and was unflappable tossing clutch throw after clutch throw. Is he the answer? Who knows. But we can do a lot worse than Foles for a second round pick.

I like it but think Norwell will cost too much. Bowman can still play but is a shell of his old self, especially without Willis. Maclin can pound sand. Couldn't produce even with Flacco flinging it. Rather try for Richardson or Gabriel. Agree to re-sign Johnson and DT, Humber and Anderson? Meh... Draft wise I don't think Phillips and Penny drop that far but I hope you're right.

Agree. And he along with Poyer were the the best tackling DBs in the secondary.

I think Sammy’s demise in Buffalo was due to money and an inability to stay healthy. Remember he was a Top 5 pick and picking up his option was considerably higher than those of OBJ, Landry and Benjamin. 11 million IIRC. Lot of cash for someone missing a lot of games the last 2 seasons. I don’t think he was a malcontent but McBeane saw an opportunity to move him for second rounder and in hindsight it may have been the right move. That being said I gladly take him back. When healthy and targeted he’s an elite player.

Vet minimum and a spot as a position coach once he retires a Bill.

I really hope they don't go after Star. The Carolina connection has me a bit concerned. His play is really uninspiring. Rather have Poe and I'm not crazy about him either. Mo and Richardson are really good when motivated but they strike me as the mail it in type once they get their guaranteed money.

Would love to see that!! That would be Draft Day-esque!

Good call, forgot him. Solid player but not star quality or elite.

The NFL’s reigning tackles leader has watched former Bills teammates stampede out of Buffalo and turn into stars with the Patriots. Seriously? There biggest star to date has been Hogan and it's a stretch to call him a "star". Mike G - disgruntled, benched and probably cut. Scott Chandler- Really? Gilmore - Toasted early and often but ended decent. Far from "star status" and not worth the contract. What ? player am I missing?
