A few that I don't believe have been noted: 10 Years After--I'd Love to Change the World Blue Oyster Cult--Astronomy Derek and the Dominoes--Layla (Clapton and Allman (not sure if exactly a solo, but the slide guitar work is great) Michael Schenker Group--Into the Arena Funeral for a Friend--Elton John (solo at the end)

I have to admit I find many of these QB prospects each year to be very impressive. Not sure I could remember all of this stuff in such a compressed and pressured situation. Seems like a bright kid with the right kind of attitude. No idea if he can play effectively at the NFL level. Would be great if we can find our QB of the future without trading all of our accumulated draft capital.

Overall better coaching and team cohesiveness.

The Chargers have had an interesting history with QBs. Rivers has been very good, Leaf was a bust and Brees left in free agency after a bad shoulder injury. Rivers and Brees have been two of the best QBs over the last 10 plus years.

The reality is that we may not be able to trade into the top five. If three QBs are selected with the first three picks, Cleveland may want to pair Barkley with their new QB and Denver may take a QB with the fifth pick. The draft will be interesting.

The bust potential with these quarterbacks is staggering considering where they will be taken in the draft and, in our case, the potential draft capital that will need to be used if we want to trade into the top five of the draft to select one of these players. I really don't envy our front office in figuring out who is the right quarterback to draft and potentially how much to give up to get that guy. We clearly need a quality starting QB, and this draft seems stronger than most recent drafts (and likely next year's draft) for college QBs. The pressure is on for the front office to get this done and make the right choice. I would love for the front office to hold on to our picks since we have so many holes to fill, but I have a feeling if they can trade up to get one of their top guys at QB, they are going to do it, no matter the cost.

In terms of a "fit" for Buffalo more related to personality and demeanor, I think Darnold and Allen are the better choices.

It is way early, but I am not sure I like the way things are shaping up at the top of the draft. If the Browns really do take Allen and the Giants take Darnold, then that leaves Mayfield and Rosen to the Jets/Broncos. I have no doubt the Broncos would take Rosen at 5 (if there) and I think the Browns would be happy if Barkley was there for them at 4. I don't think the Browns would trade down if this is how it plays out.

I would take Allen if he was there, but I don't think he will be. If Allen also was gone, I would go Roquan Smith (LB-Georgia) or Calvin Ridley (WR-Alabama). MLB and WR are big needs on this team as of now.

The guy could have made other choices but he loves football. That should be all that matters. He seems team oriented and bright. Thought he came across well.

If JPP is only worth a 3rd round pick, why would Hughes be worth more than that in value? Probably less given his relatively high compensation.

Darold seems to be the flavor of the day. Bet the Giants and Bills also like him. Looks like the Browns will take him. The real mystery here is how much we like the other three top QBs.

That does not sound/look good.

If we can't trade up for one of the top QBs in this draft, I would not be surprised if the Bills traded down again this year to gain another first round pick for next year to give them flexibility to draft a QB for next year.

Can't blame Beane if Indy was only comfortable going to 6 and no lower. Cleveland's pick at 4 could be in play depending how the picks play out, but we need to watch out for Denver at 5 or potentially with a trade up to 4.

Jets will not look good if the Giants trade out of the second pick and the team that makes the trade selects the QB the Jets wanted. Must be that they are fine with any of the top three QBs (Darnold, Rosen and Allen?) or have a firm understanding that the Giants will not be trading the pick.

If the Giants are taking a QB, and the Browns and Jets intend to take QBs as well, then we will not be moving up for a QB in this draft. In that case, I bet we end up making sure we that we can get Roquan Smith.

I assume this is to draft Rosen, but who knows.

According to Ian Rapoport.

I think one of the big questions now is whether the Browns are taking a QB (and not taking Barkley) after signing Hyde as a free agent. If the answer is yes, I wonder how this impacts the thinking of the Bills FO, particularly if they were most interested in Darnold. It must be that the Bills like more than one of the QBs coming out or they would not be moving up in this way (unless they are somehow sure that their guy will be there).

Something here is definitely weird. Trading away your starting QB makes no sense unless there is a plan in place for this replacement. I get it that we wanted to replace Taylor and that the plan may be to trade up for one of the top QBs in the draft, but I highly doubt the goal is to have the newly drafted QB immediately start. I also don't believe that the Bills think that Peterman is the answer as the short-term starter or long-term back-up. Some additional step is needed here.

Would not cost us any compensatory picks to re-sign our own guy.

I have a feeling he will be gone soon, particularly since it seems they tried to trade him before the trading deadline last season. I would like to see him stay, more so if we are planning to play a rookie QB (whether at RT or LT).

Before trading up to get Rosen, I would hope that the Bills would go through whatever back channels would be necessary (such as his agent) to make sure that he would be willing to play in Buffalo.

I am wondering how active we are going to be this free agency period given the apparent preference to sign players that will not count towards the draft pick compensation formula. I would not be surprised if there were very few free agent signings of players with expiring contracts and I am not expecting any big splashes in light of our significant needs and relatively limited amount of cap space.
