Victory Formation

I'm with you on Darnold, Rosen, Jackson and Mayfield. We will have to disagree on Rudolph, I will state for the record that I am also a fan of Josh Allen but when I say I don't like Mayfield and Jackson, I mean that I don't want them in the first, I would roll the dice on them in round 2.

Think Rudolph is a lot better than you give him credit for. His arm is better than Jackson's and Mayfield's but you don't hear anybody criticizing them. Rosen and Darnold aren't any more mobile than Rudolph. Granted, you see Darnold and Rosen make throws into tight windows and you wonder how the hell some of these throws are humanly possible but I have seen Rudolph make throws where you just wonder how the hell he fit that in there, albeit not with the same consistency as Darnold and Rosen but enough to where I think Rudolph can be developed.

Well, you'd clearly have to evaluate his potential as a passer. Under the right tutelage, perhaps he could be developed into one. Depends on the coaches and if they think he could progress into an NFL QB. Deshaun Watson lit the NFL up, he was obviously a better passer than once thought and may evolve into a dual threat. Could Jackson do the same? No fan knows that, only the coaches and GMs do.

That's fair, I only included him for arguments sake. I do think he'll be better than Tyrod and Peterman though but he is probably not what we're looking for.

Sorry, but the top 6 guys, every single one of them is better than Tyrod and Peterman. Got to take a shot at one of them, I love Rudolph, that's my guy but if he is gone I wouldn't hesitate to draft another. That's just my opinion. Do you really think one of the top guys can beat 5 INTs in one half? And even if you want to make a case for Tyrod, there's a really good chance he gets cut or traded so we are left with Peterman. So yeah, I'll take my chances on one of the top 6.

Well, it's not like I was exactly setting the bar high, was I?

I said this before and I was ridiculed mercilessly but you my friend are absolutely right. Playoff teams consistently pick at the bottom of each round, yet they always seem to hit on picks and load up on talent. To the OP, had we finished 6-10 you would be talking about even more positions that need to be filled and we would be even further away from the playoffs. The truth is, we would have needed to finish with 2 wins or less to secure Darnold or Rosen and we would likely be no better off. Truth is, we have two 1st rounds, if we want the third best QB prospect, we can make that happen so in reality we're in the same exact position except now we have some hope to build off of.

Exactly my thoughts completely. No first round QB in a draft where there's a good 5-6 prospects that could upgrade us immediately is a huge miss for me. Even Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson who I'm skeptical of, I'd still take one because they cannot be any worse than what we have.

He didn't want to be here, what can you say? Tre on the other hand seems to love being a Bill and is a leader and a team player. Gilmore was never a leader, even in New England he is not a leader, just a heartless mercenary that only cares about cashing in.

Why post this? Garbage draft.

Lamar Jackson is Vick with half the arm talent, he sees ghosts and most of his big plays are when he runs the ball himself. Mayfield I think is a system guy, solid arm but Rudolph and Allen have twice the arm. Just my perspective, doesn't make me right, doesn't make me wrong, just my opinion. Ideally we target Mason Rudolph, I'm hoping some of the other prospects bump him down to us.

Right... I'll let him know for ya.

I think at least 4 in the first round and at least another 2 at the top of the second round. I think Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson slide into the 33-40 range. Rosen and Darnold top 5 and Rudolph and Allen 10-20s. This is the year to take a QB, everyone here knows I like Josh Allen but the more and more I get to watch Mason Rudolph, the more I want him. He is a legitimate first round prospect, I think Rudolph could be a franchise QB. I wouldn't mind Allen either but I think if both are on the board, I take Rudolph. I'd rate the board like this: 1.) Josh Rosen 2.) Sam Darnold 3.) Mason Rudolph 4.) Josh Allen 5.) Baker Mayfield 6.) Lamar Jackson I'm going to see if I can find some more full games to watch on YouTube. It's still really early, my board may change from now up to the draft but once again Mason Rudolph has rocketed up my board. This is the year to draft a QB. I'd gamble on any of my top 4, it would be wise to trade up.

This is how I see it, Josh Rosen is going to be very good, we have no shot at him and this may be unpopular to say but I think Darnold has a really high bust rate. I think he needs to go back to school, if he gets redshirted in his first year in the NFL, I think his chances of being highly successful go up significantly. We have no shot at Darnold or Rosen. Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield although highly touted are gimmick QBs. Mayfield is a system QB, I don't think his game translates. Jackson is a RB playing QB, I don't think he'll ever be a good passer. What we're left with: Josh Allen and Mason Rudolph. Either of these 2 I would absolutely take with our first pick. Neither of them are sure things but there is enough there where I would take a stab at either of them. Josh Allen moves in the pocket better, I'd give him the nod but both have great arms and would upgrade our offense immediately. We can't draft a QB with the standard being that they're the next Aaron Rodgers, we may have to settle with an Andy Dalton type of QB.

Will Rudolph be a generational talent? No. Would he be better than any QB we've had since Jim Kelly? Quite possibly. Definitely think he is a huge upgrade over Tyrod and Peterman. He has a good arm.

The Pegula's announced they're doing a 132 million dollar renovation days after you said a new stadium will be announced.

I don't think he is worth a second, I don't even think he's worth a third. A fourth sounds about right to me. Trade for Smith, draft Josh Allen and redshirt him until he's got the playbook down.

Ideally I'd like to see a new stadium eventually. A new stadium pretty much ensures that the Bills will never leave Buffalo for a long, long time.

I haven't really looked into all of the prospects yet but I think it's safe to say Ridley and Sutton do not make it anywhere near our pick. If Equan St. Brown was there though, I definitely think he could help us. Christian Kirk would also be a great pick in the second round. I think Kirk is an incredible player, perfect compliment to Benjamin and Zay Jones. Reminds me so much of Danny Amendola.

I don't think Trubisky is in the right situation. I always knew he was a project player, felt he was over drafted but I still do believe that had he ended up in Houston, he would be a much much better player. The Bears are going to ruin him.

LT can't be found in the 4th round or later. LT can rarely be found in free agency, there's a profound difference there. We could easily sign 2-3 decent DTs in the draft and free agency. LT on the other hand? Not a chance. Supply and demand.

DBs are McDermott's speciality.

Got to keep him another year, what could we get for him a 6th round pick? I'd rather roll the dice on him getting healthy.

Love the Christian Kirk pick, he is the type of guy New England would want. Very Danny Amendola/Golden Tate like.

DT is not a position I'd like to see us spend a lot of money on. I think DTs can be had in the 4th round and even later than that. I've seen too many DTs get paid millions and then they get soft and lazy and don't want to work again. I'd rather take that 10 million or whatever it is and sign 3 hungry DTs to prove it deals.
