I hope we make significant upgrades along the offensive line. It doesn't look like that is going to happen in FA. Hopefully they address this during the draft. If we enter training camp with what we currently have we are doing no favors to the QB who ends up starting.

Teams with open QB positions are drying up. I would offer 1 yr deals to both McCarron or McCown telling them they would have a chance to win the starting job in training camp. McCarron gets a shot to set himself up for a big pay day if he plays well either from the Bills or another team. This allows us to not rush a rookie QB out on the field too soon.

Draft is deep at DT rather go that route. Rather sign someone for the offensive line instead.

Not disappointed with Bradford going to AZ.

Will wait to see what the contract numbers look like but i think we still need another DT to split time with Kyle if he returns next year. Would love to see Kyle just on passing downs get after the QB.

No issue with the trade great move by Beane.

How hilarious would that be if the Bills don't draft a QB in the top# 5 after all this and take Lamar Jackson at #22. Would this board burn down?

I don't mind rumors as crazy as they may be. That is the fun part of the off season with everyone speculating. If anyone does not like it they don't have to read the thread. How else am I going to find out where the Pegula plane goes to next.

It could also mean that McDermott prefers having a veteran QB as a backup. If they end up signing another FA QB and drafting a rookie could signal the end of Peterman on the active roster at least.

Any more than 3 yrs and I would not be in favor of this move. I am fine with a rookie qb sitting 1-2 yrs behind Keenum. I think pairing with Keenum with a Raw QB like Allen makes sense.

Discussions were probably had with different teams in the top # 10 regarding cost to trade up. Deals probably won't be in place until closer to draft time depending who is available.

If they can trade him fine but I hope we are not cutting a talented player when healthy with a line group that is mediocre at best especially on the right side.

Don't use facts to prove people wrong. People wanted an upgrade over Taylor because he wasn't good enough and rightfully so. Believing Cutler is any type of upgrade is laughable.

Reason why there were other teams interested like Denver and Arizona as well? They could have signed a FA QB like McCarron and paid more money doing so instead of trading for Tyrod and give up a draft pick in the process. So that doesn’t appear to be salary cap move.

Way too many possession receivers with the same skill sets. Matthews is replaceable and I would keep Deonte over him. Move Zay to the slot and find someone to split time with Deonte on the outside.

I wouldn't have been surprised if Ivory was still waiting to be signed after the draft. Otherwise, find me a post June 1st cut to fill the spot. Again to me not a position that needed addressing immediately. I do wish the NFL calendar would change to move up the draft and then have FA afterwards. However, no way the players association would ever agree to something like that.

Would rather have seen FA money spent on upgrading the O-line and the Front 7 on defense. RBs are a dime a dozen yet the Bills continue to invest in that position. Anything other than a 1 yr deal is a bad move in my opinion. Maybe we can sign another FB as well.

Don't mind the signing would have preferred to wait until after the draft though to pick up a veteran. Yes I know there would be no guarantee he would still be available but to me it wouldn't have been a priority right now.

Yes but I am more willing to take a chance on a guy who is more developed like Rosen or someone like Mayfield who despite his physical limitation has produced in college than someone like Allen. Allen would be best served to go to a team with a established QB on the roster where he can sit back, learn, and get better.

I think the Bills will have to get ahead of the Saints and Dolphins if they want Mayfield.

We have a new OC and a holdover QB coach from last year. Neither of which have shown they can develop a QB. I would be worried about Allen even more so if he ended up in Buffalo than I would if he ended up in New Orleans with Sean Payton. Buffalo has not proven they can develop a QB and I would rather draft someone pro ready who doesn't have those questions surrounding him especially if I am going to make a major move to trade up.

The senior bowl where he look terrible in the first half and they had to bring him back out in the 2nd half to allow him to make some plays? Kyle Lauletta threw for 200 and 3 tds does that mean he is going to be any good. Inaccurate QBs get eaten up by the NFL. EJ Manuel was big and strong as well where did that get him. No one is denying that Allen doesn't have a god given physical talent you can't teach but doesn't mean he is going to be successful. If you want him to have any shot you need to keep him on the bench until he is ready to take over. I think it is going to take longer for him than say a guy like Rosen to get up to speed. You better have a system and QB coach worth a damn who is going to develop him as a passer because he is still very raw. I am not going to bump him up because of how he looked at the combine. Guy looks good in shorts doesn't mean once the live bullets start flying he is going to be able to perform the same.

How many guys came into the NFL from North Dakota State University when Wentz was drafted? It is still a big jump from the Mountain West conference to the NFL. Allen did not dominate in a lower level of competition like Wentz did and is not as polished coming out. So he is definitely not ready to start year 1. Blame the talent around him but still does not excuse the fact that he did not play well. Learning a NFL playbook and new system is all going to take time. I think he has the highest ceiling of all the QBs coming out but also the biggest bust factor. He needs to be paired with a QB like Brees in New Orleans someone he can learn under while he acclimates to the NFL. Whether that takes 1, 2, or 3 years doesn't matter because he won't be ready to start day 1.

Allen is going to need to sit for 2-3 yrs and you need a veteran like Keenum to hold things down until he is ready. I think wherever Allen ends up team should look to pair him with Keenum. Keenum gets his money 3-4 yr deal while Allen gets to sit back and learn.

It also has to do with the receivers we brought in slower possession type guys. Tyrod struggles throwing guys open in tight spots so he needs quicker guys who are able to get open sooner, guys who can take the top off and open things up for other guys.
