John from Riverside Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 There is a chance to pluck a very good player out of this 1st round....even in a trade down I think taking a QB would in the 1st would not be the wise move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I'm a fan of the best QB available for 2017, and that is TT. The Bills are 15-14 when he starts. Not terrible. That last Miami game should have been a W. Go out and get a Derek Carr at the corner store next time your out. And you can throw in their WR corp too. By the way, Oakland is a much better overall team than the Bills. hard to believe I know. You get Derek Carr and QB's like him in the draft. Bills refuse to spend high draft picks on QB's and instead go dumpster diving for other team's backups. Bills could have drafted Derek Carr in 2014 but instead spent 2 1st round picks on a WR.

JM2009 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) The top priority is LB,WR, and CB. Losses of Brown, Woods, and MG are large for a team with poor depth to begin with. Edited April 23, 2017 by JM2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Carr was not a first round pick The point was he was a franchise QB that we passed on. Shouldn't a front office that passes on franchise QB's when there is none on the team be held accountable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this point but to draft another guy after EJ got 10 games would be kinda crazy. But there is no reason to not draft a qb this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaley is terrible at evaluating QBs and you trust him with a 10th round pick on a weak QB class. Draft one in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such Bills thinking. The top priority is always qb. In today's NFL, you shouldn't struggle to get 200 yards passing every game. Whaley is terrible at evaluating QBs and you trust him with a 10th round pick on a weak QB class. Draft one in the later rounds. So was Seattle's GM until they got Wilson. So was Belichick until he got Brady. So was the Steelers GM until they got Big Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He just defended resigning Tyrod Taylor and trying to build around him. Not even close to harsh criticism of another stupid idea from Bills management. Again, this column is the ultimate in short term tactics over long range planning. Seems he is right in the Bills wheelhouse because this is how they operate every year. Personally, I'm all in favor of long-range planning. But if our scouts don't believe the top QBs in this draft will be long-range answers either, why pick them? Follow the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We should just draft Mahomes, tell TT number 5 is no longer his to wear, get his spot ready on the WOF, tell Canton to get his bust ready, and start getting everybody's ring sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing this argement brought up like it is actually a common thing to find these type of players So what happens if we take a QB at 10.....and he ends up being no better then what we have. Are you really that much in favor of reaching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious you prop up Tyrod and the offense, yet rip Whaley. You are the king of double standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The idea that we should continue to be passive in our search for a franchise quarterback blows my mind. I love how Denver has approached the QB position since Elway took the reigns. Go after the best guy you can (Manning) and stockpile QB's that might be franchise worthy. If you don't think they're good enough (Osweiler), move on quickly and continue the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Ryan, as much as he failed at the defensive side of the ball, brought Taylor in and pushed for him. Not Whaley. Whaley pushed EJ right up till the end and wanted Taylor off the roster. The new staff wanted Taylor, and again not Whaley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
