Virgil Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 In recent memory, I can't think of a draft where I have absolutely no idea what players will be going where. To me, this draft is full of a ton of B+ talent, but no guaranteed superstars. Myles looks to be a lock at #1, but after that.....I got nothing. The QB's seem to be very hit or miss. I could see none going in the top 10, creating trades in the second half of the draft so that teams can get that 5th year option. Trades overall I think will be either in abundance or not at all. I think everyone's draft boards will be very different which could leave guys highly rated for one team dropping and creating a trade. On the flip side, there is so much depth that teams will know they will get one of their guys and not waste picks to trade up. Overall, I'm going to predict 2 qb's in the first round and 3 total first round trades. I just think most teams will want to trade back for more picks, so there won't be enough buyers for the sellers. Either way, should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKellyTryouts Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I've never seen mocks get so murky at the start of the second freaking pick, where no one knows what SF will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Its because people are all over the place on these qbs just so hard to find a good starting qb..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Super deep and flat draft. Prospects that usually would be late first to second round picks will span from early first through the top of the fourth. Tons of players that are great fits in certain systems will have much higher value to some teams than others. Add in no slam dunk QB and it's a really fun mess. Teams that really did their homework will be able to work this draft. Edited April 27, 2017 by BarleyNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Its because people are all over the place on these qbs just so hard to find a good starting qb..... i am of the opinion that you stick to your board and if there is a QB you like available where you have him graded, take him. I don't like trading a bunch of picks to get one, tanking, etc. Plenty of good starting QBs were taken outside the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 its almost luck honestly getting a good qb Luck is one element. However, you still need to be wise enough to give yourself a chance. The Bills haven't done this. We haven't drafted enough QB's and have also very poor QB selections. Losman and Manuel were both bad picks. Neither should have been a first round QB. You never know what QB's will become great, but reaching for guys like Losman and Manuel is a recipe for failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The other factor is so many of the top guys have some sort of "flag". My top 8 is: 1. Garrett (clean) 2. Lattimore (possible medical) 3. Adams (clean) 4. Hooker (possible medical) 5. Davis (medical) 6. Foster (character and possible medical) 7. Allen (medical) 8. Williams (clean) That is bound to create confusion and in my opinion is as much a reason as his combine numbers that Soloman Thomas (who I have as the 10th best player on my board based on his tape) is a lock in the top 8. He is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 So everyone gets better but us... There is no "us". Just poor,miserable YOU.You need a new hobby. Coming on here and blasting out your unhappiness is a drag. Perhaps a new team,with zero lb'ers & a few extra picks, would make you happier?

Beef Jerky Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 TBH it really isn't that wide open, they are going to basically take a top 10 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Like all drafts, nobody has a freaking clue. Ever. In any year. It's really fun to look at mocks and research players but compare previous year's mocks to actual drafts and the hit rate is laughable. I would bet that Gunner Bill gets more right than Kiper or McShay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
