Wow. Look at all of these Jacksonville-esque defenses that Rudolph is torching in this video!

This Draft is probably the most interesting Draft I've seen in recent years & I've been watching football for while. The hype to move up is bigtime... but has anyone considered the Bills possible backup plan. It doesn't seem like the Giants will move out of 2... & the Browns are noted by plenty of beat reporters to not move out of 1 & 4... the 3rd pick is a wrap.
A trade partner for the Bills seems non existent for the moment. Then if we do have a partner, teams are trying to fleece us for almost everything we have. So what's out end game here???
Take Ridley at 12? Roquan Smith at 12? I doubt if they trade out of 12. Then Mason Rudolph seems like there guy. Look... I can spit out who I want them to take... it's nice to want things. But I want to know what could be the backup plan?
I think they love Darnold... but know he's going 1st overall... Quiet, mild manner, deep in faith, all about the team... is Derm kinda guys... the only guy I think that matches those intangibles is Rudolph, but he just isn't as talented as Darnold. Do you take him at 12?
I'm getting to the point, that trading up the draft is fools gold right now.
Any thoughts?
Oh... Here's another interview on the QB's, if you haven't got a chance to listen yet. Enjoy!
3-23 Schopp and the Bulldog Hour 3 - Eric Galko http://www.wgr550.com/media/podcast/schopp-and-bulldog
Why not just stay at 12 and take the so-called "Next Michael Vick" aka Lamar "Designed QB Run" Jackson?

Did Schopp suggest that?
He nailed how the tank for Eichel would flip the Sabres fortunes. ?
Every year, Schopp says that they should spend every draft pick on a QB. While most people think he's joking, he says that he absolutely would do it if he was a GM.

Double the odds of hitting on a qb
Good thinking, Schopp.

It appears I've wandered into the scumbag thread of the day.

They're interested in EVERY QB at this point

I guess if you are going to have a terrible QB you need all the RBs you can get.

So, I have thought long and hard on the Bills QB dilemma and I believe with one call the Bills can be set for the next 8 to 10 years. The Seahawks are clearly in rebuilding mode. The Legion of Boom is a shell of what it once was and Pete Carroll may even be looking for way out. I suggest we offer our two 1st round picks and next years 2nd rounder for Russell Wilson. He is a seasoned veteran with upside and youth on his side. The Seahawks are in need of so many positions, this could be a win win situation for both parties.

Giants hired a 3-4 DC so trading a 4-3 end or for a 4-3 end is probably not gonna happen.
Who did they hire? Vic Fangio or something?

I'm sick and tired of hearing about "mechanics"!!! Philip Rivers have quirky mechanics. Bernie Koser had quirk mechanics. Kyle Boller had some of the best mechanics. Ryan Leaf was the 2nd QB taken after Peyton Manning because he had the "prototypical" measurements. First and foremost, do you have the will to win. Are you a "football player". Secondly, it's what's between the ears. Can you decipher an opponents defense. Do you know where to go with the football. Finally, CAN YOU MAKE PLAYS!! Jackson, like Deshaun Watson/Baker Mayfield, has been able to do this against some of the toughest competition in NCAA. Watson/Mayfield had better talent helping them. Sometimes it's okay to meddle with a person's "mechanics", sometimes it's not. Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Jamaal Wilkes had some of the worst mechanics when shooting a basketball yet they're perceived as some of the greatest shooters ever. Can improved mechanics help Lamar, maybe but I need him to be the dynamic playmaker that helped his not so talented (as far as NFL caliber) teams win games. I've seen him do it at Louisville, why can't people envision him doing this with some real talent around him??
Tough competition like: Duke, Wake Forest, Boston College, Syracuse, Kent State, Murray State?

I’ll respond to the OP with a counter challenge:
Convince me that the Bills should use up all of their impressive draft capital for one of the top for quarterbacks when there is no compelling reason whatsoever that they are sure things. We are not talking about Manning or Luck here. So many posters on this site think one of the four are sure thing Hall of Famer’s. Not even close! The team is in such a great position right now to both get their quarterback and fill up many needs with top level players. ......So convince me that they should blow all of their draft picks on one of these four very risky propositions.

I know, we would only have Wilson, Cousins or Carr as a QB if I was.

I like Rudolph at 12 and wouldn't mind drafting him there.
Thank God you aren't in charge of making personnel decisions for this team.

Excuse me?
I didn't know I had to be "100% positive" about a franchise that hasn't had a QB worth a sh*t since Ronald Reagan was in office.
You asked a question, to which I answered, and the answer has 3 decades of evidence to support it.
Calm down, Bucky (or Jerry, whichever you are). It's not unreasonable to wonder why you even post on the message board of a team that you have no faith in, instead of becoming a fan of another team.

Just now, SouthNYfan said:
Nope.
I wouldn't trust our franchise to develop/"grow" a freaking Chia pet, let alone a QB.
Then why not just become a full-time Eagles, Jets or Giants fan?

Any word on whether the Bills have worked out Darnold or Allen?

The thought of trading three firsts, a second, a third, etc. for either Rosen, Allen or Mayfield scares the crap out of me. Rosen and Allen because I just don't think they're good football players (and Rosen is injury-prone). And while Mayfield is a special talent he lacks self-control and imo will struggle in the transition from big man on campus to professional.
.
Rudolph won't get past the Patriots and Belichick will continue torturing us for decades even after Brady retires.
But, if WE take Jackson or Rudolph at 12, will WE be the ones now torturing Belichick and the Patriots for the next decade plus?

I'd be all in on this draft... Get a QB that can sit for a year or 2 and fill A LOT of holes. Although I'm not sure if Washington is there at 53.
A QB taken with the 12th pick in the draft should NOT have to "sit for a year or 2."

1. We get to keep all nine of our draft picks - six in the first three rounds will be fun to look forward to and watch in training camp.
2. Rudolph is at-worst the second most accurate passer in this draft (arm strength is overrated as long as you have the requisite amount of it) and appears to be very sharp when talking X's and O's. He's also 6-5 with good speed and has used RPO's in college.
3. Lamar Jackson is a very young freak of nature who has improved dramatically as a passer over the last few years. He could have the highest ceiling among all of the quarterbacks and may turn into a superstar.
4. The NFL's gradual offensive revolution combined with Daboll's year of college playcalling experience should allow for an easier transition for a QB that either ran few NFL concepts in college (Rudolph) or may not have the typical pro style skill set (Jackson). Look at how successful Jared Goff and Deshaun Watson have been.
At this point I think it's a no-brainer to stay at 12 and choose the best remaining QB on the board - which, in the long-run, may be the best quarterback in the draft.
Rudolph played in a very, very, VERY weak conference, from a defensive standpoint, and was used to dominating against horrible defensive backs. As a result, his receivers (e.g. James Washington) were able to freely run wide open most of the time. He also comes from a college system that has NEVER produced a franchise NFL QB.
If Jackson "improved dramatically as a passer" then why does have a sub 60% completion percentage?-

Not a chance.
What if Doug Whaley called Allen the worst QB prospect he'd ever seen? Should we take him then, knowing that Whaley is the worst scout/GM in history?
-

Take White in the 2nd and temper the expectations. We have close to 100M next year and could trade picks to a team facing a salary issue and needing to unload a QB or would be willing to trade a QB. Far better value in players we can use such as with Vea or R Smith. Don't reach with your 12 or 22.
And what has Mike White done to deserve 2nd round consideration?

Allen is terrible.
If Allen was Canadian, would it be ok to trade up for him then?

That’s an understatement, but yes. He is as gifted as a running QB as there has been, coming out. But he has great intangibles, too. There’s a whole demension to his game that was never developed and I think that’s what has teams like Buffalo and other QB needy teams intrigued. It’s the teams that have QBs that worry me. NE, NO and NYG all are said to be high on him.
But, how many running QBs have led their teams to Super Bowl wins in the modern era?

Jackson, yes. He has the potential to be something spectacular. He needs to sit behind a teacher though, like McCown or McCarron. Rudolph has a lot to like, but I keep seeing a lower-ceiling Gabbert/Bortles in him. The Steelers like him as a project and I think is well-suited for the second round, but I would never pick him in the first. I’m one more that I’m right though, so hopefully I’m wrong about this. To me, no quarterback in this draft has a higher bust potential than Rudolph.
What makes him spectacular though? Because he can run?
Would you trade Leighton Vander Esch, DJ Moore, Rashaad Penny, and Mason Rudolph for Josh Rosen?
