Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 And if Peterman starts and gets us to the playoffs? I think our needs change. Pure speculation. Let's at least start the 2017 season first..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Read McD only drafts seniors.did he actually say that? I think it was a coincidence with this draft. Reportedly they were set to take Lattimore at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone of Darnold, Allen, Rosen or Falk will do just fine...no more gimmick QBs. Nope, Sam Darnold Darnold and Rosen were gone ahead of our pick in their mock draft (Darnold #1 to Cleveland & Rosen #3 to NYJ). But I agree. As of now, Darnold or Rosen would be my main targets, with Allen coming in closely behind, and Falk is very enticing too. A lot can happen between now and next season, though. Let's see what they do this year, first. I definitely want more of an accurate pocket passer than a mobile, runner/athlete type QB (and the Peterman pick + what McDermott said afterwards has me hopeful for the first time in a while that the Bills might actually prioritize that).

BillsFan17 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 You can take Mayfield off the list and I think Rosen might have some "character concerns" of his own. Not in my book, but still some will say they are there. I think Darnold will be the best QB in this class by far and away. If Allen improves his accuracy he'll absolutely push Darnold, but I think Lamar will most likely be a late first rounder to second rounder if that. I mean people knocked Watson's accuracy while having a 68% comp rating. Yet Jackson has been hovering at 56% if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I get that it's fun to talk about what players a team can shoot for in the future, but enough with the mock drafts! I think of the major draft gurus the best performance this year was ... wait for it ... exactly two players in the 1st round going to the predicted team! (Trades will do that).

papazoid Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 McShay's way-too-early 2018 NFL mock draft #8 Derwin James, S, Florida State* Listed at 6-foot-3 and 211 pounds, James has great size. He showed his potential as a true freshman by racking up a team-high 52 solo tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles. James missed all but two games in 2016 after tearing his meniscus versus Charleston Southern. http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2017/insider/story/_/id/19294111/todd-mcshay-way-too-early-2018-mock-draft-nfl-draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
