Of course we'd be upset if we don't get a top 4 QB, but even more so if we take him a round or 2 ahead of where he's projected and wasting a pick that we paid so much for. Throw in the fact that none of the 2019 QB's look very good and I don't see how Beane and McD keep their jobs beyond 2019. I'd just get a guy like Lauletta in the 4th or 5th as an emergency option.

What about doubling down on QB with Lauletta on day 3? The pinpoint accuracy of his passes amazes me. I know he went to Richmond, but that arm!

Choose your favorite for the Bills.

As far as arm talent goes, it's not even close. Allen over Jackson all day. I really don't want another inaccurate QB. Allen's also built to take more punishment.

I'd like to get with the too many holes crowd, but I temper that when I remember that we'll have a ton of cap space next year and can plug a lot of holes that way. Plus we'll have another draft again in '19. I think we're a couple years away if we get a great QB this year and let McCarron win a few games so we can trade him for more picks too!

To get Mayfield and still keep all the rest of our picks would be a dream come true. I know he's short and did a few dumb things as a boy, but OK. The most accurate arm in this class is what I'm excited about. I think his ability to make back shoulder throws will only help guys like Kelvin Benjamin and Charles Clay. He also has good mobility and that never hurts. We could still get a great player at 22 and would retain several quality picks on day 2 which we really need this year. And they are nowhere to be found this year. I'm excited to see how our new GM performs under fire. I think many people don't appreciate how good drafting can help a team so much. This is the 1st draft together for the ENTIRE personnel dept, actually. The Pegulas fired every last one of them down to the last scout.

Great posr OP. I hope this comes true and we still have a bunch of picks on day 2 to rebuild the OL.

How could you possibly know this? Are you his psychiatrist? I think you're just making this up. I love it when people try to psychoanalyze total strangers.

It looks like this will be a OL and LB draft.

Speed, sorta. Returns and ST play in general.

Beane used to work for Gettleman We have worked out the QB that many think is the best in a strong class. The Giants just lost their best pass rusher. We just signed Trent Murphy, so Hughes is expendable. Cleveland is likely (IMO) to take Barkley #1 knowing that they are still guaranteed one of the top 3 QB's at #4. The Browns have already named Tyrod the starter. Just connecting the dots here and look what I see! The Bills could be the first team to select a QB by giving up 2 firsts, a 3rd and Hughes. They keep the 2019 first and still have good picks to work with on day 2.

Hi AJ. Welcome to the forums. BTW we will never be true SB contenders without a top 4 or 5 QB unless we just get unbelievably lucky.

If they trade Hughes, our DL is a wash too as well as C. I think some are way overvaluing Groy and Lotulelei and Shaq looks like a real bust. We might also think about garnering more future picks so we don't have so many guys needing that 2nd contract in the same year.

5 picks???

Our LB corps and OL don't suck? Sorry to break it to you, but they do. Also, Humber was AWFUL last year and Dawkins is nowhere near a "top" LT yet. The rest of the OL consists of backup caliber players. Lorenzo will probably lose his startind job if they bet a replacement in rd 4 or sooner. Milano, at least made progress and still may have upside, but still has along way to go.

Dead on about starting a rookie QB behind our OL. McCarron could be in for a long season. Richie and Cordy were our 2 best OL by far and I don't expect all 5 OL positions to be filled by capable starters even if Dawkins makes big strides in his 2nd season. Besides, who is he going to throw to? Our WR's were dead last in gaining separation last year according to PFF.

My belief is that we played above our talent level last year and now have unproven QB to boot. We'll get a few wins, but not very many and I'm OK with that. Even with all of our draft picks we are still a couple offseasons away. Beane has made some good moves and at least 1 questionable move in overpaying Lotulelei. If he has a good draft, gets the righr QB and spends next year's cap space wisely, we could be contenders in 2019.

They're right. Lotulelei is barely an upgrade over Adolphus Washington. Now we're stuck with him for 5 years and we could probably gotten him for less than half of what we're paying. I like nothing about this signing at all. I think he's basically a solid backup. How do you know they're grading based soley on sacks or did you just make that up? Face it. They overpaid him. He's just not very good.

He's long past his prime. Pass. Fill another hole with a FA and draft a replacement if that's all that's available at G.

I'm wondering if the "racist remarks" charges factored in here on some level. Remember McDermott's reaction to a question about these charges at a press conference? Just wondering. Also, Richie's salary now comes off the cap, so we will likely be adding a veteran FA sooner rather than later. It might be somthing other than an OL, but if it plugs a hole, that would allow us to spend more draft pick(s) on the OL instead of elsewhere.

100% agree. QB remains the #1 priority by a mile. Remember that we just dropped Richie's salary too so we will likely be adding another veteran OL soon.

We have WAY too many other holes to fill. I'd have been surprised if we won 6 games in 2018 anyways. We really are a likely candidate for worst OL in the league now. The best OL on our roster right now is Dawkins and he is below avg. He also needs to move to RT or G. The rest of the OL is a disaster and don't bother trying to tell me that Groy is good. Wood was one of the 2 or 3 worst starting C's in the NFL and had been for years and Groy couldn't take his job? I bet Shady is hoping he gets traded. He could be in for his toughest year yet.

Yes it will LOL. This is our biggest draft in years and it's taking too long to get here.

If the Broncos get Mayfield, this draft ends before it gets started. Then again, I think Elway sticks with Keenum for now and gets him some help on offense at 5. We send Hughes back to Indy along with 12 and 22, draft Mayfield and get lots of picks on day 2 to fill holes. I'd be OK with a guy the draftniks say has the most accurate arm in this class.

He's negotiating a new contract and there's a lot of haggling because of his price/value. He skipped 1 day of voluntary activity. Nothing out of the ordinary.
