njbuff Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Do you really want the Bills to select a QB early (rounds 1-3) in this draft? Assuming, of course, there are no trades. I am truly on the fence about this, but if I had a gun to my head.......... the Bills should just roll with TT, Jones and Yates for 2017. What is your honest answer? As mine is NO.

Steve Billieve Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Seems like there are quite a few QBs who could go in the first round, I don't think they all will, it would be great to pick up one of those guys later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably won't have to worry about it because I think Watson, Trubisky and Mahomes will all be gone by #10. The media isn't giving the proper picture on what's going to happen. They've underrated this qb class. If one of those qbs are still there the Bills will draft him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Second or third round, if they see a guy they think is a good value. Here's why: The plan is that Tyrod is going to be the guy for the future, but they aren't sure yet. If he has a really good year in 2017, they renegotiate, give him a big deal. The guy they took in the second or third round hangs around for his rookie contract as the backup. If Taylor doesn't work out, the Bills decide next April if the guy they took in the second or third round looks like the real deal and they go with him If they don't don't like him, then they take another guy in the 2018 draft, first or second round.

ganesh Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yes...WR in 1st round, CB in 2nd round and a QB in 3rd round.

KollegeStudnet Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Eh, I don't think it's our year to draft a QB. Great year for WR and Secondary picks, which is a position of need for this team.

If that was the plan and they really thought he was the guy for the future they don't void the final 2 years of his contract, make him take a massive pay cut and allow the deal to be escapable at the end of 2017.

1billsfan Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Huh? The media doesn't undersell QBs. They do the exact opposite. QB hype is the money-maker. The list of teams visiting with, or working out the top QBs has skyrocketed. The Bengals even worked out Mahomes. This means that 11 out of the first 13 selections have possible QB selection in play. After that there's Redskins, Giants, Texans, Chiefs, Steelers. This means it's a sellers market. Way too many teams need a QB. It's jumped two-fold because of all the aging QBs in the league. That means these QBs will get drafted much earlier than expected. It's strange why the media isn't picking up on this. Maybe they're afraid of stepping away from the group think because this QB class doesn't have a clear cut order and they don't like that.

8-8 Forever? Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Nah. Trading back is the best strategy, if they have someone to trade with. Draft Trubisky if he's there at 15 or 20. Maybe. I think Tru will be gone. I say wait and trade up for Darnold, Allen or Rosen next year. Next year potentially three Day 1 starters come to the NFL. Bills are in full rebuild mode now. Every top pick has to be super solid at this point. No reaching. No wishing. Repeat after me: "tank for Sam" and watch USC games all year.

Don't forget that the Browns have a boatload of picks to deal ahead of the Bills from #12. I'm also thinking that Watson, Trubisky and Mahomes will be gone by #10. I just don't see the Bills trading up because they don't have that many picks to begin with. So at least if that happens a prime draft prospect will be there that they could either take or they could trade back and get a great deal. The best scenario then would be to trade back with a team wanting a top 5 player that fell to #10 for a 1st rd 2018 pick and a 3rd or 4th this year. Two #1s in 2018 would give the Bills a great opportunity to finally find their franchise QB. Edited April 15, 2017 by 1billsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRUSHx Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yes. Right on man, a big YES from me. Bills have no franchise worthy QB on the team. We do have a huge project behind Tyrod but that project don't look any better then Whaleys other project he had in Brown who is now out of the league. I imagine Whaley won't take one at 10 and then miss out on the better prospects once again to land another late round project just to put us in the exact same spot in a few seasons when they all get fired. So I think they will build around Tyrod like they did with Fitz and end up with the same exact fail, no playoffs, 7-9, a cordinator fired year one and a team that still has no potential franchise worthy QB in sight. Whaley is what he is a QB purgatory enabler. I want a QB drafted at 10 but doubt it will happen since Whaley has no idea how to fix the problem we had when Whaley was hired that he said he was going to make a priority to fix. In Whaleys own words, "QB purgatory". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Why not get paid to do nothing. This organization should be looking forward. But I fear we are still looking backwards.

The sad thing is they could have avoided the Rex comparisons but elected to keep Tyrod so now year one everyone will be expecting the coaches to be playoff bound year one since everyone blamed the coaches last season and not the team that failed. This staff is going to be on a real hot seat after year 1 if they fail to match Rex with Tyrod. No QB to take over year 2 will in my opinion have fans heckling the QB in training camp again, oh the good old days of a year 2 head coach trying to win with a QB not good enough.
