Davis looks like Stifler at age 70. Which coincenditly will be the average age of the Raider roster by the time Gruden's done signing those aging vets he covets.

I would be ok with this DEPENDING on who else is on the board when we pick. I mean, if Mayfield fell to 12 I'd rather have him, move up in Rd1 for Vander Esch and grab a speed WR in round 2 and one of the linemen instead of 2 OL. Jmo

...in the first preseason game.

Groy does. Maybe they finally let him compete at G. Been seeing Bodine is a pretty good run blocker. Power is his game..just what Daboll is expected to bring. Could be a good fit.

This thread is #WHINGING

There are NINE threads on the first page with Mason Rudolph as the topic. The board isn't QB drunk already. No Sireee...

Something tells me he's not a "Process" kinda guy ???

What is it with Bengals/Bills connections already? Can we at least swing AJ Green somehow out of it all? ??

Sounds like a reindeer that specializes in stone work? Maybe he's the builder of Santa's fireplace? Not sure...

Soon as you put a fan it that position they become the pro. So it's a moot point. The fact is there are many times that for one reason or another those in the know swing and miss in obvious decisions.

Professionals draft poorly at times. Sign bad free agents. Write contracts that are horrible. Just being a "professional" means little more at times. When you see a guy that constantly struggles on the field like Newhouse..well let's just say even a fan can have an accurate educated guess as to how it's going to go. That said, players like Newhouse are needed to fill out a roster. Cannot have 53 All-Pros...and the Bills are pretty broke this year. It wouldn't be a bad signing for depth as he is versitle. But as Beane said, FA aqusitions for us at this point won't move the needle.

Yes. Yes he is. Yes. Yes he is.

Allen wouldn't be my first choice, but if that's who Beane wants I can live with it. Side note: Bucky Brooks consistently has the worst Mocks I've ever seen. Worse than Walter football and not even close IMO. His first mock of the season didn't even have Roquan Smith in the first round. ????

100% agree. The only thing the draftees have over McCarron at this stage is a tad more youth. And that can be a good or bad thing.

Looking at Murphy's Twitter I think there's a chance he gives Brady a Stone Cold Stunner. Not even kidding.

I think the moves Beane has made since taking over prove that he has the guts to pull the trigger. You know what else he has? A roster with holes and in need of upgrades and 45 million in dead cap space. Everyone here wants everything done asap...but truth of the matter is Beane, Pegula and McDermott are building for the long haul with a planning mind. Step 1. Clear cap room. Done. Next year we are looking at 100 million-ish in cap space. If you think this was a wild off-season..just wait. Buffalo imo will be MAJOR players in FA next year. Step 2 Draft young players on rookie deals. About to happen. Still gotta draft well. AJ McCarron...well who really knows what he will be. If you read this board you learn that a player is either an All-pro or he sucks. While I don't think he will be an All-Pro this year...I don't think he will suck. I really do think he has the potential to be an upgrade on what we had. Every move Beane makes is well thought out and calculated. He knows how important a QB is. He will get that accomplished. Might be this year, might be next year.

And that is what I agree with. While I wouldn't mind a slight jump (6-10) if one of the "top" guys slips I'd say any of them have a chance to both succeed or fail at the NFL level. No sense moving a ton of picks in a draft that has good players at positions we need. If that means AJ McCarron is the starter next year...so be it. It's still an improvement over Taylor IMO.

Desperate teams do desperate things. Like pay Sam "Glass" Bradford $20 million dollars for a season. Or way over pay for the 3rd overall pick in a draft. It feels really nice to see the Bills willing to move, but putting a priority on value. AJ McCarron may not amount to much, but he may just be a guy that comes in and does extremely well. If we have to roll with him for a season, I'm good with that. Best case he has a fantastic year. Worst case he has a horrible year and we are a "Lock" for a high pick.

I would not trade anything in next year's draft. I would wait to see how the draft played out. See who falls where and jump up only if there is a player I feel like is worth the extra picks. Find the best value. That's where the Jets failed. They gave up the equivalent of the number 1 and number 10 pick to move 3 spots if what I read was correct. No player will live up to that hype. Its like the Mario Williams contact. They have set whoever they draft up to fail.

If you go by those statements you really could bend it for any of the top guys.

A Jet swap with Indy means Mayfield may slip. Mayfield. Fields sometimes have flowers. Mayfield=Flowers Mayflower. Mayflower moved the Colts to Indy. IF WE SELECT MAYFIELD THE BILLS WILL BE MOVING!!! CONNECT THE DOTS!!!!

This would be a really nice haul, especially if Billy Price's injury drops him to our 2nd and we can snatch him up.

The mistake that year wasn't in not moving up to get Ben. It was in trading up to get JP. Had they sat tight we could very well have had Aaron Rodgers throwing to Lee Evans the following year. The draft moves a million miles an hour in a million different directions. If you can't get the player you want the ABSOLUTE worst thing you can do is compound that mistake by making a panicked decision.

Does it still feel that way if the Bills don't move to 2, keep most of what they would have spent and end up with Baker Mayfield if he slides? Point is no one knows how draft night will play out. We could move to 2, 5, 6, 7 or whatever and get the guy we like. We could stay put and get several guys we like. "Same old Bills" would have been stuck with no opportunity to move. This year the options are there if the value is right.
