Ed_Formerly_of_Roch

Not that he's a huge name but either Urbik or Legursky. I think the four guards next year are the rookie Cryil, the FA they signed Williams, JJ Unga, and whichever of the two isn't cut. I recall reading late last year how Marrone liked Unga and also a late season signing tackle, can't recall his name

Read many comments that this was a bad deal because if EJ has a terrible year, they don't have a 1st round pick next year to go get another QB. More than likely unless he were to suffer a career ending injury or his play is absolutely horrific, he'll be back for a 3rd year no matter what. Likely what will happen is they'll bring in another Offense Coord who supposedly will have the answers. Another bad year could then see replacing him in 2016 draft, but unlikely they get rid of him after two years no matter what.

If the biggest problem we have offensively is tight end, we'll be in great shape. Between Chandler, Moeski, Gragg, plus Smith and the other guy we re-signed for blocking , we're in pretty decent shape.

Per your brainstorm, it would take seven years to acquire these four superstars (and have no pick again in year 8) In eight years of gettign these superstars, as was pointed out, you would hope to have seen improvement by year 3 or 4 which means lower picks and hence the need to give up much more to move up. So that's the first problem. Second problem as also mentioned salary cap as by year eight, many of these guys will be on their second contract. Another problem once these guys are on second contract would be keeping them all. If you're improving whole that superstar can make a big difference and get you over the top, you also need young cheap talent for depth too which the draft provides.

Conversely talent makes a QB like Brees look better, so could se ea similar thing here with EJ. Not saying we have the talent here of the Seahawks, but don't think it's much of a stretch to let Wilson type production from EJ. WE likely would need a little better than that though to make up for being weaker in other areas, but the gap is narrowed.

I recall at the end of last season Marrone talking about how good these two late season pickups were doing., Think One was Unga. Was the other Mcclain? I think both of them may be around, possibly even starting at RG

If EJ sucks, do you honestly think whomever you're bringing it wit ha late round pick is going to look better than either Tuel or our #2 backup, can't even think of his name. Either of them, with a year experience under their belt in the system would be better than some late round pickup.

Did the QB from Georgia get picked up? Sorry after three hours working in the yard in 8 heat too lazy to look it up myself.

So why is that? What are the rules as to when you do or don't get picks?? From what I can figure the rules seem to be if the player left Buffalo, there are no picks period!

OP is assuming the Stevie pick becomes a third, then the B Brown pick becomes a 2016 pick as we no longer have a 4th rounder to send to the Eagles, so then would have three 3rd round picks in 15. If it is SF' 4th rounder likely would be a rather low pick, not that high or low matters much in 4th round

At the end of the season Marrone was talking up those two late season signings JJ Unga and someone else, so he may be the starting guard, and this kid takes over in a year or two

Quote to my better half: "Next year we can go out on the first night of the draft. I don't need to stay home and watch!"

What kind of amazes me about the whole thing is the amount of intel going on from team to team, talking with Jax knowing who they likely were going to pick. Guess this stuff isn't as secretive as you'd think.

I beleive the sarcasm is directed towards all the people, both on this board, and the national draft experts who last year were stating that this years QB class was going to be so great. Bridgewater was going number 1, may as well start up a suck for Luck Bridgewater campain. A year later, seemed QB's were the least valued overall position i nthe 1st round, certainly at the top. Bortles went high, but many are questioning it too. Same as all the people on this site claiming the Watkins trade was bad as if EJ fails, next years QB class is going to be great and now we have no 1st round pick. Well just as a year ago this years class was going to be great, we know as little about next years too.

So then you take a QB the following year. At worst it sets you back one additional year. On top of that, EJ would have to look extremely horrendous to give up on him after two years. Most likely you'd still give him a 3rd year regardless.

LOL!

From what I've always read on the value chart picks a year out are worth one round lower, so it's basically the 9th, and a 2nd and 5th.

A 1st and 4th a year out, pretty good move

If I'm the new owner of the Bills: I'm going to get me one of those 29 YO girlfriends like Donald Sterling has, just make sure she's one that doesn't own a smart phone.

I hope al lthese QB's do go early as if true, leaves someone like Evens, Matthews, etc left at nine. And before someone says Matthews wil lbe gone what before nine, my logic is simple if 2 t o3 QB's go early, plan and simple someone else drops.

I can't imagine what 2nd round QB is going to be a likely step up from EJ. He may be another Tom brady, but the odds are against it. At best you're likely going to get a guy would could step in if EJ were hurt. He also isn't going to get much time to develop, so agai nwould slow his progress down. as far as BPA goes, once you're in the 2nd round the difference between player A vs B is so slight, who would ever know whether they selected him or not.

The one way it could happen is if QB's do go early. Back in Jan you had in some mocks, Bridgewater, Manzeil, and Bortles all going in top seven, on top of that Watkins wasn't rated quite as high back then. If that were to happen then some real good talent drops to nine. That's my hope a bunch of temas panic over QB's and draft them early. If the Manzeil to Dallas rumors are true, could you trade down with them, although also will admit not sure I'd want to go quite that low. Would want multiple picks back.

I'd prefer to give up the #9 and SJ to move up say two or three spots and draft Evens assuming you have a trade partner. To me Watkins and Woods are too similar, granted Watkins likely is much better, but still too similar. We need abig WR

Or another way is investigate his tax returns filed for the next xouple of years. But in either case most likely you'd be figuring it all out after it's already played out and you know the results. If it was announced that Jeramy Jacobs bought the team would anyone really care much what the trust says. All people care is that the Bill's are staying in Buffalo.

Luck I agree with you on. Wilson, to me is EJ with a little more experience and an amazing defense. Granted Seattle doesn't have a great offense, but seemed Wilson regressed last season.
