BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We used a site that simulates the draft. So the program is drafting players to each team and when your team comes up, you pick from who is left (the big board). When I saw Williams in Round 3 I grabbed him, but yea, in real life he will probably be gone much sooner. Which big board did you use? I rarely see him there in round 2, let alone 3 with composite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Teams that don't have a qb should usually always draft one at some point. If petty is there in rd 3, i suspect they'll take him. I think the Bills will take either Hundley or Grayson at #50. The position is too important to let stand at Manuel and Cassel. IMO Cassel does not provide real competition and they want to find a young guy who will do that. The Bills are in no position to wait for the QB in round 3 that they tag as the real QB competition for Manuel. This is coming from a Manuel supporter and someone who thinks he still could prove to be the Bills franchise QB with a big year this season. Now, if they do draft a QB at #50 and neither Manuel or that QB looks to be a good enough QB for the 2016 season then I think the Bills will try to make a monster trade for a franchise guy who's on the back of his career. Or perhaps Rivers is a free agent and wants to come to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I just don't see how they can give 4 QBs enough snaps to have a real competition; even 3 QBs taking snaps is pushing it. Unless they're planning to cut EJ, which would cost them $3M against the cap, it just doesn't hold water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Which big board did you use? I rarely see him there in round 2, let alone 3 with composite Whichever it defaults to. I've ran about 5 more drafts and the one I posted is the only time one of the better tight ends has fallen to the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this board Tyrod is a gimmick that got brought in for no reason and can't even compete with Tuel for 3rd QB. Whichever it defaults to. I've ran about 5 more drafts and the one I posted is the only time one of the better tight ends has fallen to the third. Oh, yeah they have their own default. Maybe it got better, but when I tried it a month ago I was getting things like Bryce Petty in the 5th round haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Jeremiah has him as his third rated QB. So does Greg Gabriel at National Football Post. So there's opinion from a few draft "experts" that disputes that claim. I really haven't done a lot of evaluating yet on the QBs. But seeing how the Bills interviewed everyone but the top two guys, that tells me that QB is in play at #50 and the two guys I mentioned are probably the targets. Maybe Petty could be a third target to watch also. As for the four way competition, I think they are going the Seahawks route of bringing in everybody and letting the chips fall where they may.

I actually like Grayson; I just don't see a 1st or 2nd round pick there. I dug up what video I could find on draftbreakdown.com and did a draft preview of the QBs not named Wiston and Mariota: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/174727-bandits-2015-draft-report-qbs/ I agree that they're taking the Seahawks approach; I seem to remember them having a 3-way competition between Wilson, Flynn, and Jackson, right? Not saying that a 4th couldn't be added, just that I think one of the 3 on the current roster would be moved (most likely EJ) if that happens.

thebandit27 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think Cassel is the odd man out if they draft a QB at #50. Wasn't Flynn the odd man out in Seattle? They eventually traded Flynn a year later, to Oakland, for two late-round picks. You could be right about Cassel; my personal opinion is that they didn't trade for Cassel just to cut him. I think they brought him in to be either No. 1 or No. 2. Of the 3 they have on the roster, he's the only one with experience both starting and coming off the bench, and I don't think they'll give that up.

I rarely see him there in round 2, let alone 3 with composite Fanspeak is all over the place depending which big board you use, just did a draft where Danny Shelton is there at 50 , personally I'd like a big CB and if combine freak Byron Jones was there at 50 I'd take a chance.

RealityCheck Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I think they should draft 2 QBs this year and if nobody steps up this year, draft 3 of them next year. If that doesn't work, draft 4 more of them for 2017. Hell, draft every QB they can find that isn't in a wheel chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 If Bills draft Marpet, I want his jersey . . . I'd have to buy it too!

Beerball Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 res ipsa loquitur Your confidence level in those 2014 draft picks is? Since you are an intelligent fellow it must be so high that you feel that the o-line is set and additional picks there would be a waste. Or...your looking backwards without keeping an eye on what's in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
