49ers could be our trading partner

At the end of day yes the Bills have many holes to fill,  but you need to first fix the biggest problem we have moving forward and that is QB. The 49ers who traded for Garoppolo should end up with a top 3 pick and could be our trading partner so we can grab one of the top QB'S available.  How many times has this franchise been distracted with filling other holes and have avoided going all in to get a franchise QB.  TT is not the answer and we need to move on,  just look at free agent WR'S who avoided signing here because they know he is useless.  Time to go all in and get the best one available and i am ok with (2) # 1 draft picks and a second plus another second the following year if required,  use other picks and free agency to fill out front seven and other positions and go from there. A franchise QB is the foundation of any winning team and we have not had one in a long time.

Are the QBs this year worth a massive trade? Mayfield is really growing on me (and Falk had another great day) but is he worth the cost to trade with SF?

I don't think there is any reason to believe this is a particularly weak QB class. The wait 'till next year thing is not going to get it done. We need to trade up and get our guy. We've waited 20 years to get a middle of the road guy in Taylor, who is never going to  get us over the hump. The team needs to go all-in on finding their guy. Attempting to win with a run-first offense has gotten us nowhere.

McD passing on Mahomes and Watson scared me . I hope he has a better QB to target or Peterman is the lottery ticket . 

 

I hate the price of trading up unless you see another Goff or Wentz , that I can't judge.

 

I mean - he's not a scout and we didn't have our real GM at that point.  So I'm fine with taking a safer approach to the draft and getting scheme and leadership fits in year 1.  

 

Year 2?  We need to bring in a QB.

We had Whaley whom wanted to draft Watson.

Let see what Beane has in store though. All I can hope on now is that NP turns into QB gold.

Mahomes is a backup qb that hasn't proven anything.

 

11 other teams also passed on Watson.

Before we can think of trading up we need to get out of the twenties for both of our picks.  Hard to tell at this point, but if the season ended today I imagine we would have picks 21 and 25, the highest we could get with those two picks is #6 overall and in that scenario you're probably gunning for the third rated QB, I imagine this is Rosen or Mayfield.

 

I understand the trust the process stuff, but this is what happens when you try and win now and later, you cant serve two masters.

Mahomes hasn't done anything so...as for Watson, I think they felt it would've been redundant getting him.  His play was similar to Tyrod's.  Shorter QB with at the time accuracy issues and scrambled a lot.  That probably raised red flags to them.  It potentially ended up being a mistake.  However, look at all of the running QBs that have come out of the draft lately.  A lot of them seem to be getting hurt frequently in the early part of their career.  Maybe they wanted a pocket passer instead.

You know what really surprised me?

 

KC trading(reaching) up for a QB when they really needed LB or Edge rusher help.

 

They have a serviceable QB and could have waited another year.

 

Thanks KC for the freebie :)
