Tipster19 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/202127/why-the-seahawks-could-look-to-trade-out-of-the-first-round There was a news article earlier today quoting Jon Gruden touting Penn St QB Christian Hackenburg as a 1st rd talent. If Buffalo wants to groom a QB then Hackenburg might be a good candidate to do so. Having a 5th year option for 1st rd picks would be an added advantage to groom a long term prospect at the QB position. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/04/19/jon-gruden-will-be-shocked-if-hackenberg-isnt-a-first-round-pick/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty McFly Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Heh no thanks.... Maybe in the 4th round with our compensatory. Exactly... agree. I would also draft Vernon Adams Jr in the 6th or as an UDFA, hes got a lot of Russel Wilson in him and fits our Offensive scheme to the TT.

Blokestradamus Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 agree. I would also draft Vernon Adams Jr in the 6th or as an UDFA, hes got a lot of Russel Wilson in him and fits our Offensive scheme to the TT. If Vernon had a lot of Russ in him, no team would let him slip to the 6th. Short and creative doesn't mean he's Wilson. Not even close to being the calibre passer that Russ is.

BarleyNY Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 There is no pick I'd hate more than Hackenberg other than Hackenberg in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I vote to change the title of this thread to "seattle, gruden, and hackenburg. A tale of 3 unrelated things" i mean, it seems like an obvious string of thoughts to me, even if i wouldnt make the move. guy wants a qb gruden says hack is potential 1st round qb team interested in trading back at the bottom of 1st would you be interested in moving up from our second round, with the perk being the extra year for developing a guy? im a firm no to that, assuming roman likes TT. even so, im not a fan of hack in the little ive seen of him, but not enough to be a strong opinion.

Connor Cook might be the qb that teams would maneuver back into the first round to select. Moving into the first round or even a high round second round rage makes little sense to me for a qb such as Hack who struggled so much in his last two years in college. I'm not saying that he doesn't have appealing physical attributes but his on field performance would at the minimum drop him to the third round or lower.

KD in CA Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 What does Hackenburg have to do with Seattle trading out of #26? Did I miss that? I think it's the dreaded "trade back into the first round" strategy that has served the Bills so well in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P51 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) If Vernon had a lot of Russ in him, no team would let him slip to the 6th. Short and creative doesn't mean he's Wilson. Not even close to being the calibre passer that Russ is. That he certainly is not. UDFA with developmental potential for sure IMO. As for Seattle trading down: Seattle trading down = New England trading down Nothing to see here folks, move on...

Tipster19 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Now that Philly locked up the #2 pick that will drive up Paxton Lynch AND Christian Hackenburg's stock way up. Btw, I can't believe that anyone really thought that Buffalo was seriously considering trading up for the #2 spot. The way that our defense is lacking players and the cost it would take to do such a bold move would have crippled this team for years to come. Tyrod is more than adequate, the main concern with him is keeping him upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Gruden loves Hackenburg based on the fact he was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recruit going into the college ranks. He signed on with Penn State before the whole mess and it may have hindered his college game. Most scouts compare him to a backup QB. Should the Bills draft him? Maybe. The best I would say is if he falls to the fourth. Edited April 20, 2016 by KollegeStudnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Pocket presence can't be taught. Granted Hackenburg wasn't behind an Alabama OL, but he was erratic at best. I would take Connor Cook over Hackenburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 There is no pick I'd hate more than Hackenberg other than Hackenberg in the first round. There are very few QBs with his numbers completion percentage wise and TD-INT ratio wise that have panned out at the NFL level...I'm struggling to even think of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty McFly Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 He has Russell in him? They have a thing going on? LOL they played similar and the few games I have watched but his ability to stay healthy due to his size is a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
