It is way to early to tell anything about the draft next year. We don't know where we will be picking yet and don't know the depth or talent in the draft.

 

I will watch the season play out and enjoy it!

 

However, when the draft approaches I will be excited, BUT, very nervous, as this draft is everything for our future!! The FO don't have to knock it out of the park, but, they are going to have to be very, very good!

 

Let's enjoy the next 10 months! And, hope it is enjoyable!

you really want to go back to 2-14? You want to feel like the Jets right now?

Who's left on this team that says otherwise? The QB they aren't keeping past this year or the almost 30 y/o RB in a passing league? The drought will be buying drinks and getting drunk to wash away the pain of not being in the playoffs for 21 straight years.

I'm more worried about this season. The defense was 19th I think last year. I'm not looking at the stats but I think if we take out about 400 yards rushing this defense around top ten. Mcd better be able to coach this defense up to that or better for me to be excited long term. If not we made the wrong choice.

Complete opposite as I'm very excited about next year's draft. As of right now there are about 5 QBs I'd love to see us draft next year so there is no reason to get trade crazy to land one. I'm also looking forward to drafting more LBs.

Let's Go Buffalo!!!!!!

Of the 3 QBs we have now, I bet Peterman is the only 1 that will still be a Bill at this time next year. JMHO

Go Bills!!!!!

All aboard the Darnold train.

Maybe, but I think they drafted Peterman for a reason.

 

They signed Yates, Taylor and Jones already on the roster, why draft Peterman if they had already planned on going QB (Darnold) in 2018.

 

IMO they are not sold on Taylor and have plans this year for Peterman other than being a backup or it was a total wasted 5th round pick when they had plenty of other holes to fill during the draft.

We are stocked with picks, may be gunning for a QB, and also a bunch of defensive holes.

Each year is deep at different positions and weak in others.

What if the season ends and the top 3 teams with picks and need QB's and won't trade with us? I know we have the ammo, but they need to be willing to deal with us and I don't see us being worse than the 49ers, Jets, or Browns.

And then, what if there just isn't the starting talent needed at the defensive positions we require?

I'm just afraid that we won't have a draft that meets our needs and this drags down the line.

The 49ers are likely to have one of the top picks. If they go the Cousins route they'll want to deal. If not, then Cousins will be available. The Rams still have a terrible team and might have a top pick even if Goff makes strides. They could deal. In addition to Cousins, Garappolo will hit the market and a QB needy team will take a shot with him. That could be a top drafting team. The other interesting situation is the Ravens. They're going to be bad this season. I'd bet that they'd draft Flacco's replacement if they could, but they look like a rebuild is in order. You never know, they might favor a haul of picks to replacing him. Besides, they run a vertical offense and might be looking for a different kind of QB than we are. I know Tyrod is good at the vertical game too, but McD seems to favor a quicker, shorter passing game. I see him looking for a better version of Peterman. Speaking of whom, wouldn't it be nice to hit the lottery there and have our FQB plus all of those picks?

Kirk Cousins was a 4th round pick .... wondering why we're all in on next year's QB ... was anyone not impressed with what Peterman (our 5th round pick and who Gruden says is most pro ready QB in the draft) showed on Thursday? First drive ... leads the team to a score ... if Taiwan can catch a pass on 4th down on the 5 yard line ... perhaps another score ... looking forward to game #2

Afraid to finally get a franchise QB? Not at all!

Watch us grab the Ryan Leaf from the pile of Peyton Mannings.

Impressed? Hardly. He looked like a rookie playing third stringers. He did look a little better than Yates.

Poor footwork but is still young and could prob be coached. Doesn't seem to put much mustard on 30 yarders, reminds me of Chad Pennington in that regard. There's more but we're talking about a kid who's going to grow, hopefully

That's what I'm saying. It's going to take even more time and patience; I'm talking Tom Landry and the Cowboys of the 60s type patience. This is going to be such a long time before we see the payoff, and that's if the gamble even works. There's always a chance this whole rebuild relies on the drafting of one player and if we miss or whiff we will back to the drawing board in 4-5 years looking down the barrel of a 21 year drought.
