Saint Doug Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm all for picking another QB. We haven't had a QB in 20 years and we have swung and missed on many QBs during this time. Manuel is certainly no sure thing, so why wouldn't we hedge our bets and pic another? There have only been 2 QBs picked so far, so there has to be some talent still out there. Alternatively, Nix could just piss away the test of the picks because he has been known not to get anything good in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Nope. fill the holes first. Draft a qb next year. and the next if need be. lets grab TE, a DB and a guard. hell why not, get that kicker !

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Seems like a wasted pick. Cousins was a waste. Skins wasted a 3rd round pick on a guy who will barely play. As did the pats with mallets. It's doubtful that either cousins or mallets ever get traded, and if they do, for what? At best, a 2nd round pick? And if the idea is to get an insurance policy on Manuel because Manuel turns out to be a bust, we're probably screwed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Wood is injury prone. I do like him. But we need a good one for back-up insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 We just gave Jackson a 500k signing bonus a month ago.... Not huge but....it'd be odd to cut him a couple weeks later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Barrett Jones - if he lasts until our pick, how do we pass him up?? (note: not only is woods injury prone but he could also be gone next year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Focus on coaching up EJ full time for 1 year then play him in 2014 season. He's not ready now but has the potential to be a franchise qb if given time to develop. Kolb and TJax will take a lot of hits with a new play book and new receivers , OL changed.

(note: not only is woods injury prone but he could also be gone next year) http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=9197435&src=desktop He's a kid I'd even go up for if need be. He's perfect. I'd love to see him across from dareus at practice. High character guy from bama and a serious player. Edited April 27, 2013 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know that taking two qbs within the first 3 rounds despite having other gaping holes is bold and thinking outside the box as stated by many here .

ThurmasThoman Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I always like this idea and then the reality thwaps me in the face. You can't evaluate that many QBs and you're hoping that some team will want him. We can use cousins as an example, he had a brief, good showing and his trade value still likely isn't equal to where he was drafted. It's a tall order to say that a guy who would be a backup can show enough to net you a better pick than what you use before his rookie contract is up. but that's because the redskins won the division and made the playoffs, so no one is exactly calling for rg3's head. now if manuel goes 3-13, and follows it with a 5-11 campaign, i'd feel better knowing we had barkley to turn to, just in case.

filthymcnasty08 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 May have to go up to catch Jones.... Question is: what's the price to go up 5 or so spots in Rd. 4? Swap 4's and a 5th or 6th next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 You guys think hell be gone in just 8-10 picks? If there's all the top notch guys out there, why not just wait and not give up a pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Nix did trade up for TJ - maybe (hopefully) hes wiling to for Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Jones has a Lisfranc Foot injury and the word is he wont even be ready for training camp. That is why he is dropping in the draft. If i'm going to take a G/C prospect, I want Brian Schwenke from Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 1) Barrett Jones - OC 2) Michael Williams - TE 3) Nico Johnson - ILB The above are very good players at positions of need for the Bills. Jones has played LT and Guard as well. Williams is a huge target who doesn't have the numbers because he was surrounded by superstars. Nico is great against the run, and could provide immediate help imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
