I don't think that the GM would have a problem identifying a QB that could potentially be that all elusive franchise guy however at what price? As you pointed out, Buffalo has numerous holes to fill (any quarterback that is chosen will have the same problem with new OC and new team) and it is kind of hard to do that if you give up the house on one guy. Besides, maybe he knows more about AJMcCarron than we do and has already "identified his quarterback". (Wont really know until we get to see him play.) BTW, I am not attempting to be "automatic" as you put it just offering up an alternative way at looking at things is all.

What do I currently want to happen? The way I look at it Buffalo is trying to build a team for the future. Having said that, I think it would be a mistake to use up all of their draft capital to get into position to draft a "Franchise" quarterback. Let's be honest, in most cases a rookie quarterback needs to have some quality time behind a known starter to lean the ins and outs of the NFL (otherwise your setting him up to get killed) There is no guarantee that even if Buffalo was to get second pick of the draft that the quarterback would end up as viable long term solution. For example some notable 1st round failures include Mark Sanchez, David Carr, Tim Couch and Tod Blackledge (there are many more) I think that Buffalo made a great decision to get AJ McCarron, he spent a 4 years learning from a capable starter (Andy Dalton), despite not playing much (practice makes perfect) he has been able to amass some respectable stats. Completion Percentage 64.7%, 6 TD with only 2 INT and a passer rating of 93.6 and deserves to be Buffalo's new starting QB, in fact I think he could become "The" franchise QB that everyone is looking for. Now, having said all that, I would like to see Buffalo trade their #12 pick "DOWN" ideally, I would like to see them trade it to the NYG for their 2nd and 3rd round picks. What this would do is give Buffalo one 1st round pick, the equivalent of 5 second round picks (the 1st and second pick in the 3rd round is kind of equivalent to second round picks and a total of 7 count them SEVEN picks in the top 100. Now that is rebuilding a team for the future! Thoughts?
