Peace Frog

I think the reason QBs like Peterman don't get as much benefit of the doubt is because 1st round QBs are bigger investments. There's more 1st round busts then there are 5th round gems so the chance of Nate being a future starter is not too good. There's a reason he was drafted so late. I wish him well but as of right now, the Bills have two, unproven, 5th round QBs on their roster. Those are the facts.

So far, I like all of the moves the McBeane duo has made this off season. No matter what happens between now and the draft, I have no doubts that our GM will do what is necessary to make this a better team. If we don't trade up into the top 5 and grab one of the 'once in a lifetime' QBs, I'm sure it will be for a very good reason. I think back about how the Eagles were able to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl (how great was that?) and remember that even though their starting QB didn't play in the playoffs, the backup QB still managed to keep the team winning. Was Foles that good? Maybe. I think the answer was more like they had a great team to begin with. My point is if we don't get one of the Big 4 QBs in this draft, we still have the means to build a great team. And that is just as important as the QB himself. Trust the process. We are either going to have a great QB and very good team or a very good QB and a great team. Flame away...

In the second video at the 13:24 mark, he says the words, 'The Process'. He's the guy we want!

Um....I think Denver might have something to say about that.

This is why our GM is playing it cool.

I will go on record as stating my preferred order of QBs is Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield.

Do what you have to do, I don't care if it gets freaky, but do what you have to in order to draft Josh Rosen.

I would've traded up to grab Khalil Mack.

I foresee McBeane trading our 12th & 22nd to Cleveland for their 4th, straight up.

Josh Allen = Ryan Leaf 2.0

It all comes down to who Beane wants as QB. Let's say, for example, his heart is set on Rosen. You try working a trade with the team that you will most likely need to in order to position yourself to get him, come hell or high water. So, we need to work a trade with the Giants in order to almost guarantee we get him but the Giants won't budge. What now? Do you try to work a trade with the Colts and hope that 1) they make it happen, 2) the Giants don't take Rosen before you, 3) grab the next best QB if Rosen is gone and pretend that is who you wanted all of this time? I'm not gonna worry about it. I think our GM & HC will do a good job next month.

Devil's advocate here: We could just as easily be saying "I'm glad we didn't draft Watson" had he had a bad season. Because he didn't, we now say "Dang, I wish we took him". Hindsight is an electron microscope. Mahomes, however, hasn't proven anything to me yet. Let him get a couple of full seasons under his belt first before we start chewing on our own guts for not drafting him. One last thing on Watson; he may not be the same QB after coming back from his injury. I, for one, will wait until after this draft before I start on the 'Should've, would've, could've" bandwagon.

I know Minnesota and Denver are courting him something fierce, but what would help us the most come draft weekend?

You should seriously send a copy of this to McDermott and Beane. Seriously.

What the hell is he on? Cannonball coming, cannonball coming!

We could've had Ngata instead of Whiffner. That says it all right there. It wasn't like Haloti was some surprise player; he was dominant at Oregon. When it was our turn to draft, I thought they would get him for sure. When they announced we pick Donte, I was like "WTF? Who the hell is that?"

My point is this: With all of the questions about do we draft a QB this year, do we move up to get him, who do we take, will they get killed behind our O-line, etc., all of that may not matter because we may just do a draft & stash this year. For example, we make some trades and move up in the first to grab Rosen and have him ride the bench for the year until we finish getting the rest of the team fixed or until he's ready. Steve Young, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, etc., all didn't start right away.

Who said our future QB from this draft will even start this year? He may carry a clipboard for the entire season for all we know.

I wouldn't hate the pick. If he's there at 21, take him.

I think you should convert to a WNBA fan ASAP!

But not all Super Bowl matchups against NFC East teams resulted in losses, though. They did beat Philly once.

Nice feedback, everyone. I'm just playing devil's advocate with this topic. Personally, I like the idea of the Bills doing whatever they've gotta do to get the QB that they want and hope that they not only get him, whatever the cost, but he is who they hope he will be. With so many QB needy teams, we have to be aggressive to get our guy and we can always try and fill some of our holes with F/A signings or just give our rookie QB time to mature by having him hold the clipboard this season while we finish building our team next year; not necessarily stoned but uh, beautiful. (Thanks, Jimi Hendrix, for that line!)

I guess if next year's class looks kind of weak, we could just take him now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess my take on this is why give up so much 'draft capital' in the upcoming draft just so we can get our future franchise QB when there are so many holes on the team to fill. Use the 21st & 22nd to get a DT and C. Use the 2nd rounder for a LB, etc. There are plenty of players that we need and should get them this draft. If we can't sign a FA QB, then draft him next year. Why move up to pick one of the desired QBs when he'll just get killed on a team that is not ready for him? Besides, the Patriots look like they're not ready to roll over and play dead so they'll probably be on a mission next season. Let's use next year to build a team that is ready to take over the East in 2019.

Does anybody have any idea what the QBs might look like for next year's draft? If we can't get our guy in this year's draft, would it make sense for the Bills to use all of their draft picks to fill as many holes as possible, tank this upcoming season, and then draft their QB next year? We could shore up both lines, get our LB, RB, WR, and salary cap situation straightened out, etc. Your thoughts?
