I love Wadley as well. A little worried about his weight. If he can add 10 pounds while keeping his change of direction he could be a gamer
Thanks NewEra
But I don't want this to be a Wadley is great thread as much as who in 4-6 could help thread.
Any ideas?
Another idea, kept showing up as best CB available in mock drafts at 5-6 rounds
CB Bandon Facyson, VA Tech, 6th round target
Rated 5.4 on NFL.com
6'2", 197, 4.54 speed
Doesn't have man on man speed, but could be a contributor in a zone scheme with ability to play physically, and good length. Plays the boundary well. Seems to be a natural leader in the locker room. Passed Brandon Flowers among most passes defended in VA Tech history. Play may get penalized in NFL.
OR
RB Bo Scarborough, Alabama
NFL.com grade 5.58, 6'1, 232, 4.5 speed, 40" vertical, 129" broad jump
Avg mock draft position 4-6 rounds
Need youth at RB, from winning program, insurance as RB thunder is Ivory fails. A bit one dimensional.

Turned out to be a great situation for him in the end says Captain Obvious.
Perhaps the point is that because the Bills traded the first round pick in 2005 to pick up the third best QB prospect in 2004 (JP Losman), they missed out on Aaron Rogers in 2005.

When does that ever happen
THE BILLS DID NOT HAVE WHAT THE COLTS WANTED.
FIGURE IT OUT, THEY DID NOT WANT OUT OF THE TOP 10.
YOU CAN'T TRADE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
In some ways this is worse than the BBMB in it's tunnel vision and group think.
The Bills are not getting Darnold or Rosen. What is the next best move forward?

For the last time. The Colts did not want to trade out of the top 10.
Buffalo does not have a top 10 pick.
Further discussion of this shows an inability to live in reality.
"We still wanted to stay in that top position in that top 10 where we could still get a premium player," Ballard said in an interview with the Colts' website. "We feel at (No.) 6, we’ll still be able to acquire a premium player. Plus, being able to pick up the two 2s this year and the 2 next year, that gives up four picks in the top 50 picks of the draft and then three next year — one in the first and two in the second.
"It gives us a chance to really replenish our young talent and start building a core of young talent like we need to do." - Chris Ballard, GM of the Colts
Go figure the Colts wanted a top 10 pick, and a bunch of seconds to build around Luck.

The goal isn't making the playoffs, it's winning a title. You need a QB for that. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.
The teams that are contenders year in and year out are those that have a QB.
Without a team how far has Andrew Luck gone?
Giving up everything for Rosen here is the same.

Let's look at draft value picks the Bills may find in the 4th-6th rounds.
Please keep the posts to players rated in the 5.8 or less range on NFL.com draft board.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-name/dt-by-position-input:cb/dt-by-name-input:w
Please add significant measures, position, college, grade, hype film and why you would like him.
One player I have found late in mock drafts is Akrum Wadley, RB Iowa. He was available in the 6th in my last Fanspeak draft when I was looking at RBs
Rated 5.4 on NFL.com 5'10, 191, 4.5 speed.
Why? Reminds me of Mike Gilislee with better hands. A nice one cut runner with a sick spin move and nice hands. Should be available in rounds 5-6. Good production against top 25 teams despite a shaky passing game. Need youth in RB room.

and we should talk, apparently the Bills way is 'naked and out of your mind' (Cyrus K and Z Jones).
At least the Pat player had had real weed and his clothes on, until the strip search.

Rosen. Especially since I have zero interest in any of the players you picked. Your first round in particular would be a disaster IMO.
Vander Esch has all the tools to be the 'Luke Kuechly' of this defense. I may not want him at 12, but at 22 I think that he is a steal.
You also wouldn't want Penny or Moore?I guess we'll let Rosen play behind Dawkins and Mills, throwing to Benjamin, naked and bleeding, and Streeter. Brilliant moves.
Oh and relying on 2 30 year old backs, also brilliant. But hey Rosen will elevate the team like he did in college.
Rosen would be in the ER by week 6.
I'm all in on Vander Esch as the future anchor of the Defense. I might go for DJ Chark instead of Moore as a compliment to Benjamin, and I think value like Bo Scarborough may be a better pick around round 4-5, but I understand what the OP was getting at.
Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.
11 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said:No one cares about UCLA's record while Rosen was there. It's not a knock on him at all with regard to what skills he brings to the NFL that will make him successful.
Concussions?
Shoulder injuries?
Quitting a sport when things get hard?
TD:INT%, sacks taken
Elevating players around him?
Opportunity cost?
that doesn't seem to apply 'Chosen Rosen' around here.
I'm going to enjoy the board melt down when he lands in NYC.

I agree with the OP here. I am firmly not on the Rosen or bust hype train here at TBD.
Way too expensive to give up the house for a guy with a 17-13 record, multiple shoulder injures including nerve damage requiring surgery, and two concussions in a 60 day span to finish his college career. This doesn't cover any other potential 'side issues' multiple GMs and scouts have red flags about.
Rosen quit on tennis right around the start of high school, where he was a top 50 junior player, due to shoulder injury. After about 8 or so months of rehab and potential need for surgery to regain his form he questioned his commitment to the sport, and he quit. This is where the concussions come in at the end of his career. Once a person has multiple concussions in a short span they become more susceptible to them. What happens if he gets one two more during his rookie contract? Dawkins and Mills are the guys protecting the next QB. His dad is a spinal surgeon. Why would he continue to play after pocketing $20+ million and risk future in anything he wanted (he is bright and would be set for life). Rosen is not exactly elusive and took 53 sacks in 30 games. Two significant throwing shoulder injuries in seven years.....
17-13 record. Most Buffalo Bills related message boards have panned the Bills QBs for not elevating the team and making the players around them better. Who has Josh Rosen done this for? a 59:26 TD to INT ratio isn't exactly exceptional either.
Rosen could be a very talented QB, he looks the part in many ways, but there are significant yellow and red flags here. I see Sam Bradford all over this guy. Very good QB skill set, but is injury prone and may not have the heart to be 'the franchise'
I still want Buffalo to go QB in this draft. It's a deep QB draft. I also want to see what AJ can do. Despite opinions no one here knows what he can do anymore than any of the Rookies. Remember if a fax goes through then another NFL team would have traded a 2nd and 3rd for him. The Pats also wanted him.
This is a deep LB draft too, and the Bills need all the help they can get there, especially for McDermott's D. I'd rather go QB, LB in the first. WR/OL/DL/RB/CB in the second and third. Have a plan but let the draft fall to the Bills.

Even the Jets don't mess this up. Rosen in NYC at #3 makes sense.
That does mean the Giants take Rosen at #2.

I see two top 10 LB, a DL and a top 10 OL in our future and then Rudolph or White in the third.

No, there is not enough difference between QB2 and QB5.
For Sam Darnold, yes.

Weren't these guys rated worse then Ducasse last year and he was the whipping boy everyone wanted to chase out of here cause they didn't think he was good. Now everyones happy they sign 2 of the lowest graded linemen from last season, even if its only to be a backup?
Perhaps you are being sarcastic.
Since Wood retired, Glenn was traded and Henderson is gone they get former starters in the league. How dumb.

Doesn’t change the fact that if you don’t have a QB in the NFL you don’t win on a CONSISTENT basis. We have 17+ years of our own data to back that up. The NFL has much more. The Bills need to draft a Qb
I get it, you love Josh Rosen. Everyone here does. The Bills are where they are because they refuse to draft QBs in general.
No team has drafted fewer QBs in the top four rounds than Buffalo over the past 20 years. That has to change. I think it will.
Buffalo is not getting Rosen. Let it go.

You and 26corner keep saying things like this, assuming Rosen is the face of the franchise for 10+ years. How do you know that? You don't. No one does.
I'd rather take 1 pro bowler, 1 borderline pro bowler / solid starter, 1 solid starter, 2 disappointments than a try at a borderline franchise QB, especially in a QB deep draft. Do you want to hope you land Andrew Luck, and have a weak team, or draft a QB with a few questions and build the team?
That is the question.
How has 'can't miss Andrew Luck' done without a team?
and it's not 'house money' this team traded away its starting QB, LT and #1WR (2 firsts) for these picks.
The OP is like the guy gambling on his credit card because, 'Hey its free money if I win'.
