papazoid Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 If Tannehill is there @ 10, trade the pick. Someone will think he is worth it. Seattle at #12 might want Tannehill... even KC at #11 and Arizona at #13 might be interested based on flirting with Peyton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 last years #10 overall averaged $3 mil/yr.......Thigpen's salary is $3 mil/year. Actually Thigpen signed a 3-year, $11 million contract making his annual average $3.67 million per… so the Bills would be paying their first rounder less than they pay Thiggy. If Manning signs in Denver, that could spell trouble for Denver. Elway declared Tebow to be his guy, so if he cuts ot trades him, who will trust him? From the very start, Elway's support of Tebow has been lukewarm at best. His most recent comment was that Tebow would enter training camp as the starter, again a less than ringing endorsement.

tito1 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I wouldn't hate Ryan tannehill at 10. I have no idea how we can be comfortable with havin only Fitz (who played horribly down the stretch and worries more about his facial hair) at qb this year. Also, his supposed rib injury is no excuse. Thigpen may be te worst backup in the league and tannehill would be good to build for the future.

BillsfaninMyrtleBeach Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Bills are not going to go after a QB at 10 mainly because they have so many other glaring needs! They just paid Fitz to be the starter and want to get another reciever to throw to. Plus they need a DE, LB etc. Using a number 10 pick on a QB would be a waste because he will be sitting for awhile behind Fitz.

papazoid Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Washington's blockbuster deal's domino effect will further invigorate the chase of Manning -- Denver, Arizona and Kansas City are front-runners, with Miami in the mix, according to a league source. The deal also will lead to the enhancement in draft status of Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill, as well as the allure of free agent Matt Flynn. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82781141/article/ramsredskins-trade-impacts-more-than-just-teams-involved?module=HP11_cp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 NO WAY do the Bills draft any QB at #10 or in rounds 2 and 3... He is a one year wonder... Only has 9 inch hands which are too small for a QB... Remember QB Clauson? He had small hands... It would be nice if the Bills draft a QB in the later rounds, who they can develop. But even then it is not a real hot need in this years draft... I am sure Buddy knows what he is doing ... I like the feel of what is going on right now with Buddy Nix in charge with a lot of money to spend... Between him, Gailey and Whaley the football part of the operation of this team is in good hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Tannehill and Stephon Gilmore are pick #42 and #43 in DraftTek's next mock draft. If that's the choice, I'd take Gilmore in the blink of an eye. Tannehill is 2 years away from starting in the NFL, while Gilmore is slightly superior to Williams in ability. Byrd-Searcy-Williams-Gilmore back there will be among the elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 That would not be wise, IMHO. Of all the things I don't know, of this one thing I am certain - as an NFL QB, Luck will SUCK!!! Trading away the opportunity to draft multiple quality players at positions of need, just to draft RGIII and hope he'll be a star, is just dumb - look for him to end up in Washington. With the possible exception of OSU's Brandon Weeden (to the Dolphins), no other QBs - including Tannenhill - will be drafted in round one. Fitz is our QB in 2012. Period. Arizona's Nick Foles (6'5", 245 lbs.) had a sub-par performance at the combine - might be worth a look in round 6 as a 'developmental' QB... 19 and 0 baby!!!! GO BILLSSS!!!!

Billshank Redemption Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't know actually I am starting to turn around to the idea of tannehill at 10. I don't know about anyone else but I just don't really like any of the pass rushers up top I would rather take a top wideout/l.t or trade down. I really want to address pass rush in free agency as I see it being a major weak point of this years draft. So id rather trade the pick for a tannehill suitor and drop back and grab a wideout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy just parted ways with Manning knowing it needs to rebuild and to start that process with a stud like Luck. Washington knows it needs to rebuild and just traded a bounty to get the 2nd pick and to take RG3. Why? Because rebuilding starts and ends with a QB.

buffaloaggie Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 2012 NFL Draft: Ryan Tannehill Called 'Franchise Quarterback' By Wes Bunting http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Texas-AM-QB-Ryan-Tannehill-now-the-hot-name-in-the-NFL-Draft.html At this time last year after the combine, he had Ryan Mallett going to the Jags at #16 (before the trade up to #10) in his Mock draft, Nick Fairly as the #2 pick. Give him credit, he got Newton and Dareus correct, though he dropped Newton two weeks later in favor of Fairly at #1. 2011 Mock after combine I gotta agree, we need players now, and not developmental guys in the 1st round. Bunting's (or this website's) scouting report mentions Melvin Ingram's long reach. Everything I've read says he has short arms. Again, Tannehill is recovering from a broken foot, and has a terrible habit of forcing too many passes. His judgment is terrible. There is no way we should be talking about Tannehill even being drafted in the 1st round, but some team may make a desperate pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our coach and FO don't believe Fitz is the long term answer, then they need to bring someone in this year they do like to groom for the future. So Luck and RG3, who are supposedly can't miss prospects are off the board. You want to draft the not even concensus 3rd best QB to put on the bench to groom? It reminds me of exactly the QB discussions last year. Half of this board or more wanted Blaine Gabbert and thought Newton was an immature bust waiting to happen. Gabbert couldn't even hold Newton's athletic supporter and looks like he took lessons from Cpt Checkdown while cowering in the face of the pass rush. I argued that nobody would even know or care who Gabbert was if Luck had come out last year because all the talk would have been Luck vs Newton. How did that work out for the Jaguars so far? How does drafting a 1 year wonder QB to sit on the bench help us make the playoffs in 2012, 2013, 2014? Get a clue dog. We have the 30th worst defense and we have made WR and even LT off season priorities? You want to draft a guy to sit on the bench for 3 years with our first round pick???? You can't really be serious? Is this just disguised Fitz haterism or do you really feel using your first round pick on a clip board holder on a team with so many holes is a good idea? Your narrow mind of focus is amazing. "Rebuilding starts and ends with the QB"? You're smarter than that man. Your own ending statement says it all and you know the answer already. Fitz has the contract, the support of the owner, the support of the GM, the support of the coach and the support of his WR's like Nelson and Johnson. Apparently they think Fitz is the answer. In that scenario you draft players to help your team now and you DON'T draft a guy who is at best the 3rd best QB in the draft at #10 to sit on the bench as his replacement. That shows a vote of no confidence which is contrary to EVERYTHING else they have said and done. Edited March 13, 2012 by PDaDdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiller was drafted as the heir apparent and I think there were plans to use him more than they did on special teams, WR and RB. Unfortunately those touches didn't materialize but I think they intended him to be more of a day 1 impact player on the field but Fred came on too strong and fought the rookie off and we played from behind a lot reducing RB touches. I agree Spiller wasn't the day 1 starter that I hoped for in that draft but I can say that I am glad that he is on our team. After taking over for Fred he has started showing everyone that he was worth the pick unless you have someone that is so entrenched in their "luxury pick bust" stance that they can't see that the kid has talent. He is just starting to get it going at the NFL level and he still hasn't reached his full potential. It appears that all he needed was touches and time on the field.

shoretalk Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Agree 100%. Tannehill has way too much downside for us to waste our #10 on him. I agree that some desperate team will pick him before he should be picked just because there really are only two serious QB's in this draft and they will be long gone before the Bills select. The only QB's to draft in the first round are those who are the 'sure things' and even a healthy Tannehill has a few too many questions and lack of college experience.

Fred Jackson was the best player on the team last year and one of the best players in the NFL before he got hurt. He's also someone who has the full, unwavering support of every player on the team who have backed him in public repeatedly. So try supporting your team's best player and starter instead of (wrongly) suggesting last year was a flash in the pan. Oh wait, I forgot, his name isn't Fitzpatrick so your rules of "biatching" don't apply, right? Once again you show your true colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
