We have only 1 starting caliber CB on the roster now. I(f we trade up for a QB, we probably won't have the draft capital to get a good one to start opposite White. Then again, White was the 27th pick and this draft is supposed to be deep in CB talent.

You're just going to have to wait 2-3 years to see how he does.

I'd be very surprised if either Allen or Mayfield were still around at 12 and I'd be really upset if they threw away a 12th pick on Jackson or Rudolph. They could trade down and get one of those guys, but why do we even want them. I liked Jackson at first, but after watching him throw at the combine -- UGH! Rudolph, I hear, will never be any more than average QB. If we can't choose from Darnold, Rosen, Allen and Mayfield, I say let's tank in 2018 and get our QB next year, if one of available. You have impeccable insight, my friend! How do you do it?

Take a flyer on Mike White in the 3rd and if we tank, we get our guy in 2019.

Me too -- mostly because there are so many question marks surrounding these top QB's. I'd hate to see us trade up for a guy that busts, but sooner or later we have to take that risk if we ever want to be great like we were in the mid 60's.

Realist. Things look pretty bleak right now across the board, but draft day is coming and in 2019, we'll have a lot of money to spend. If we tank this season, that'll be OK with me too. Maybe we get the best rookies that take a year to come into their own.

I agree with you OP that Tyrod didn't anticipate well and held the ball too long, but Wood was not a help at all. He was, for the last several years of his NFL career, one of the worst starting centers in the league. Having a QB that reads defenses quickly and anticipates receivers coming open will reduce our sacks considerably. Again, I remember how many sacks Rob Johnson used to take, but when Flutie was in, he hardly ever took sacks.

Get well Zay and listen to this doctor's advice on brain scans.

Assuming that the story is accurate, there are medical conditions that can cause aberrant behaviors such as benign tumors that put pressure on certain areas of the brain. The 1st thing they need to do is take a look and see if they can find anything out of the ordinary. Iassume drug testing will be done.

Whaley's staff scouted this guy, right? I don't recall hearing that McD has done any scouting. Just sayin'. Maybe we should wait for more facts.

Didn't Jackson's combine send him to round 2? I thought he was wildly erratic with his throws.

I get the sense that Beane isn't going to let anyone get the better of him and he'd like to keep that 22nd pick and still have a couple picks on day 2 rather than going all in on 1 guy like the Skins did for RG3. A move like that would set us back years -- giving up so many high picks and getting RG4 (or EJ2.0) in return.

I get it -- People think the Bills are snoozing, but all of these top QB prospects have questions that concern me. Darnold -- Turnovers, Mayfield -- Arm strength, Rosen -- Deep throws, Allen -- Completion %. Beane can get an awful lot of talent and still get Mike White on day 2. Then, if McCarron busts, we'll be in good shape for the 2019 draft. I'm not saying none of these top 4 prospects will make it, but the last time we got desparate, we ended up drafting EJ Manual in the 1st round. Maybe this will all work out. Maybe not. As Marv Levy said, the draft is a crapshoot.

No thanks. Maybe a 1 year deal until we can find an upgrade, but he's a below avg LB just like P Brown.

I can't help but laugh at the posts saying Hughes is no good. He is the best DL on our roster and it's not even close. I just hope Beane and McD are smarter than that. Still, if it's the only way to get one of the top 4 QB's, then I guess I could live with being dead last in sacks or close to it for another year. I also think having Murphy on the other end of the DL will help him a lot. Other teams won't be able to focus as much attention on him. Good points. He's been really good vs the run as well. Lots of hustle.

If we're using the same adjectives to describe Murphy that people have used to describe Lynch, that would be great!Beast, powerful, explosive, take your pick.

Murphy. He's an immediate upgrade over Shaq. He's a hair above avg. McCarron should be a solid backup. Lotulelei should help a bit in the run game, but does nothing for our pass defense in a passing league. Some seem to think he's great. He's not even close. He can't shed blockers to save his life. I get that he's just a space eater, but he's a liability in every other phase of the game. Spare me the "Oh but he doesn't have to do this or be that." We've been doing "don't have to" long enough. All that said, if we finish in the top 6 in run defense, I'll be pleased enough. You can't have probowlers at every position. I like Ivory. He'll be able to take some of the load off Shady's back and he's a gargantuan upgrade over Tolbert, even at his age.

Did he ever say that he wanted choirboys? I think they really want are guys that are dependable and highly self-motivated. Guys that show up for every team function looking like they spend all their time in the gym. Guys like JJ Watt.

Now that the Browns have signed Hyde, I'd be amazed if they didn't take Darnold with the 1st pick. I hop I'm wrong, but I just don't see any way we can get him.

He hasn't been playing well for a while now. No thanks.

If the Colts or Giants try to take advantage of our need for a QB and ask too much, this could happen, but it's unlikely. I could see Mike White in the 3rd maybe??? Rudolph has a low ceiling according to what I've read. If Jackson is there at 12, I'm OK with it. I think think the Browns get Darnold and the Giants take Mayfield or Rosen. We really need to get to 3 or 4.

LMAO! Speaking for the left, we couldn't care less.

I hope AJ is a pleasant surprise and might do well in a short passing scheme. I don't know where this strong arm talk is coming from, though. He isn't going to wow anyone with his arm strength or deep ball, but hopefully he can pick things up quickly. He also isn't going to do much running either. He's a lead foot lol. That's OK by me. Miami went undefeated with Bob Griese and he didn't have the strongest arm or footspeed either -- He made quick decisions and had good accuracy. If AJ can match that, he'll be solid.

I don't know why so many here are talking like Groy is a solid sterter. He's a backup caliber C. I hope Billy Price slips to the 3rd and we can grab him. Let Groy play until Price is ready. I'd love to see that happen. I don't agree about P Brown. A much better MLB would do wonders for our run defense. Tackles are a misleading stat. Brown is a below average MLB.

We need an upgrade over O'Leary. He had a dismal season. Any help we can get at LB would be great. I don't know if we can get any help at C or RG, but that would be nice too. Also, DiMarco had a very disappointing season as well. A good FB could be headed our way. I also wouldn't be surprised if we used our lasr pick on a punter. Schmidt has been a liability of late. The return game could use a boost as well. Tate is not the worst, but I can't imagine that it would be all that hard to find a WR that would have a better chance of taking one back once in a while.OT is an obious need too.
