Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 With very few exceptions, quarterbacks drafted in late rounds never have any impact. Lately, that's been the case with backers drafted in the middle rounds and frequently in the early rounds as well. So why waste a pick when there are late round options at other positions that amount to a slightly less possibility of a wasted pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUffalo Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I would take Aaron Murray in the 4th/5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Murray. I know a lot of people were thinking he might have been one of the top QB's selected last year so if we can get him late in the draft then he might surprise some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 With very few exceptions, quarterbacks drafted in late rounds never have any impact. Lately, that's been the case with backers drafted in the middle rounds and frequently in the early rounds as well. So why waste a pick when there are late round options at other positions that amount to a slightly less possibility of a wasted pick? Same could have been said about 3rd rounders before Russell Wilson and Nick Foles were drafted in the 3rd round of the 2012 draft. This being a deep draft with a lot of talent at QB means guys drafted in the 2nd round in previous drafts may last to the 4th or 5th round of this draft. But the odds would probably be even better if we were to take one in the 2nd or 3rd this year. And the importance of the position should not be understated. Landing one Wilson or Foles is worth 3 RBs or LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 If one that the Bills have ranked high enough that he becomes BPA in the 4th or later, then yes. I don't have any favorites, personally. I have watched most of them in college but don't know enough about how they transition as NFL prospects. Mettenberger intrigues me because Cam Cameron was his OC and he was in a pro style offense. He also has really good size. The reason I say 4th rd is because this year's draft is deep enough that I would think we can still find starters in the 3rd round and EJ is being given the reigns per the Bills so anyone they draft is going to be a backup this year.

dollars 2 donuts Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I would take Aaron Murray in the 4th/5th. I like him in those rounds, as well. However, I really wanted to get Russell Wilson in the 3rd or 4th round a couple of years ago and the Bills did like him. Translations: if the Bills do like Murray I wouldn't necessarily hold my breathe in thinking he's going to be there in the 5th...maybe not even in the 4th. If they do really like his skill set, then get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Tom Savage from Pitt. Kid can play. Might not even be available in the later rounds. Saw him in person a few times. Can take a hit, keep his eyes up field and find the WR. Reminds me of Kelly with his toughness, and B. Rothlesburger with his pocket presence. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/66376/pitt-qb-tom-savage-to-visit-with-raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureBillsGM Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Every year if possible. Teams like the Packers and Falcons used to use this philosophy and when the guy looks great in preseason, they traded them for higher picks. There will always be a premium on QBs, so why not take a flayer every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
