Do the Bills still go QB in round 1?


Recommended Posts

Too early to tell.

I agree. We don't need to make this decision in the next 3 weeks!

 

Let's see how the entire season plays out in full, with injury (or lack thereof) included...and go from there.

 

I think a pure stud OL is the team's #1 priority if Tyrod can stay healthy and continues to play at or better than his current level.

This. For me it's Cook or Hackenberg. Our backup should be Licata.

there are a number of guys coming out this year and I watch a ton of CFB but am in no way qualified to scout them as NFL prospects, nor should I. So I say if the team has a guy as a 1st rd grade and like him they should take him.

I suspect they might go D line in the first round. One, and maybe two, of this year's starters will, I think, be replaced to fit Rex's philosophy and to free up cap space.

I agree that this might happen, but I also think that QB should be a very high priority. I don't see Mario on the team next season.

I just posted this in the Tyrod injury thread but its more appropriate here.

If we draft a QB, the question becomes "what about Tyrod"?

Lets say you trade up to get a QB.

Your starter next year is most likely Taylor to let the rookie learn behind a vet.

What if Taylor has a good year and leads the Bills to the playoffs? Taylor will want a big contract. Do you sign him and leave the drafted QB on the bench (or trade him)? Do you just let Taylor walk after ending a 16yr playoff drought? That's the problem with taking a QB high.

 

I would suggest taking a guy in Rd2 or 3 as insurance for Taylor. If Taylor sucks next year and the drafted QB doesn't impress, then go all out for QB in 2017 draft. If Taylor is good, re-sign him and no need to pursue a QB in 2017.

Who cares? If TT works out, great. If he doesn't, we have a backup. There's no dilemma when you make he playoffs.

In theory, you are right.

But you're talking about using resources to trade up to get QB and then leave him on the bench and never play him? I don't think that is likely. I don't think the Bills will go all in to get a QB this year unless they are sure TT is not the guy. Some fans here are sure. I don't think the Bills are. I would expect the Bills to use their top pick to add to the team around Taylor and maybe pick a QB later. Who knows. It will be interesting. Hopefully Taylor finishes this year strong and we go to the playoffs and this is a non-issue.

The Bills can win with Tyrod Taylor. Maybe a guy in the mid to late rounds to develop as the #2 guy. Maybe Kaepernick in trade...

 

The draft should be about getting some more young talent to develop on defense, O-line and possibly another playmaker at WR.

He's even worse.
