True BUT there is a league rule that a team has to spend $$$
Is that true? I think it is true in the NHL, but I don't think the NFL has a rule that you have to spend a certain amount. I think I just read that the other day.

This is obviously a statement to grab attention.

LB, WR and OL are very weak areas. I see Beane standing pat at no. 12 and trying to rebuild the roster.
Nah, he trades up for a QB. The other positions don't matter without a QB. Can't put this off until next year.

Nice, but that doesn't really generate discussion. I want people to talk about what they project will happen, not all the possibilities. Thanks.

Any one else think that they traded Darby too soon, and the return wasnt really worth it. Having Darby now would be a more valuable trade piece than the 3rd round pick they got in return. In fact I believe the Bills could probably get a 1 for him if he were on the Roster right now. At the very least a swap of ones like the Glenn trade. Essentially the Bills "traded" mathews (no longer on the team) and Darby for a 3. I believe Beane really swung and missed on this trade, and it could really come back and bite them.
Darby was a fine player, but don't think we lost anything by getting rid of him and picking up Gaines. We got a draft pick out of the thing as well.
Darby wasn't seen as a fit in the zone system that we wanted to run. He doesn't track the ball well in the air, and lacks length. -
What are we doing at LB? We had several guys in a couple days ago. No signings. I wonder if we have standing offers out, and those players are evaluating... Maybe we expect to draft bodies there?

He Threw the ball 49 mph and I think no qb had ever been successful being under 5mph or something. Widely talked about last year
Interesting. Time will tell on him. He started out hot, but the most important ability is availability. I am not ready to call him a success yet like some. Nice stat. I will keep an eye on that.

Watson has a weak arm too. He looked very legit. Flacco apparently has the strongest arm in the league and he’s not the best qb. It’s important but it isn’t you know?
Watson has a weak arm? Are you sure? Never heard that criticism of him. Only that he played in an offense in college that threw a lot of screens.

Except he won’t be drafted at 28yrs of age like Weeden was.
Besides both having gone to Oklahoma state, I don’t see it.
I guess you are right. Weeden was seen as having a way better arm... lol

I was just trying to point out that all of these guys have warts. You’re correct, I might be understating Rudolph’s lack of arm strength. But at the same time, he seems to have the greatest success of any of these with his deep ball. But again, that could be because of his receiver talent.
I just think all these guys have their warts. My feeling is that Darnold is the only one worth trading up for.
As for Jackson, you make a good point, he’s an exciting athelete and has put up numbers.
Ultimately though, I think the Bills are looking for certain things that will lower some of these guys on their boards.
Mayfield’s height, along with his need to work from a lot of play action or roll outs in order to make plays (look at Georgia’s 2nd half keeping him restrained in the pocket). Also I think his personality will clash with what Beane and McDermott are looking for.
Regarding Jackson, I look at Beane’s comments about wanting a quarterback who stands tall in the pocket and makes the throws. Now I’m not saying Jackson can’t become that guy. But with the type of athleticism he has, you have to wonder if he’ll ever really throw consistently “from the pocket”. He’ll always look for the run because ultimately it’s his greatest weapon.
The greatest ability is availability, according to McDermott & Beane. That alone should knock Rosen down a few pegs on their board. He’s had the shoulder injury that kept him out most of his sophomore season, and two separate concussions this season as well.
Allen’s innacuracy seems to be his greatest issue. Saw some scouts saying that it’s overblown, so he’ll likely go higher than the Draftniks and us fans believe he will. He has an incredible skill set but is really raw.
Again, I’m just spitballing at what I assume the Bills Brass is thinking. I just feel that they’ll appreciate what a guy like Rudolph has done. Although Beane has discussed the importance of arm strength and being able to “make all the throws”. And that’s where I think Rudolph’s arm isn’t as big an issue as others. It’s not the strongest, but he can make all the throws.
Eh, Rudolph feels like a Brandon Weeden pick to me.

We should all hope the Jets take Allen at 3.
This is my dream scenario... Jets take Allen and Miami takes Rudolph lol

Moving to 12 might end up being the right spot to take him. Browns, Giants, Jets, Broncos, Dolphins could all take Quarterback. 4 will likely be gone. All of these guys have major questions, Rudolph might have the highest floor, besides Rosen.
Darnold- turnovers, Fumbles plus the knowledge that his small hands have lead to fumbles, might make him a bad fit in snowy buffalo. Plus he’s likely Cleveland’s guy at #1.
Rosen- Injury history, specifically concussions, could be red flags.
Allen- Innacuracy could be a major red flag. It’s highly believed accuracy is one trait that can’t really be improved from college to pros, you either have the touch or you don’t.
Mayfield- On field attitude, off-field issues, height could all be red flagged. Played in Spread could also be a red flag, but that’s always difficult to tell and NFL is moving more towards spread & RPO’s anyways. Just look at Goff and Wentz’s offenses this past season.
Jackson- Athletic ability may concern teams that he’ll always look for the run as opposed to keeping his eyes downfield.
Rudolph- Biggest concern is lack of arm strength. But really, his arm is strong enough, it’s not Chad Pennington or anything like that. Other weakness is that he came from a spread, but again, that seems to be where the league is going anyways. To me he has the highest floor besides Rosen.
I love how you pointed out criticisms of the others, but then get to Rudolph and then minimize his lack of arm strength, like it isn't a big deal. The dude is a 3rd round talent. Rosen, Darnold, and Mayfield can spin the hell out of the ball. Your criticism of Jackson is juvenile as well. The guy threw for 9000 yards in 3 years. That is an exciting player. Just because he can also run, people want to try to doubt him. He is far more intriguing that Rudolph and may be there at 12. -
Go watch that Steelers playoff game. It is like watching Trent Edwards after the concussion. It's bad stuff.

Rather trade Lawson, Hughes can at least get sacks in spot duty.
Lawson had just as many sacks as Hughes last year in less games

Go back and watch that Steelers playoff game with McCarron. Some of the worst quarterbacking you have seen. If we start him, think Peterman with a little better arm. It won’t be good enough.
-
People shouldn't be hating on Shaq. He showed some good things last year, particularly against the run. The guy also had 4 sacks in 11 games. Wasn't that tied for the team lead last year? Come on, people.

Calling it now: Zay Jones will not be on the week 1 roster.

Zay Jones had 7 TDs last year, and doubled his production. He will still be on his rookie contract. Injuries happen. They will hold onto Foster, Jones, Beasley, Brown, and McKenzie. If Duke shows well, maybe he makes the roster.
