CEN-CAL17 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hang in there bud. Rudolph and Mayfield won’t go in the top 10, maybe not even top 20. Darnald and Rosen will go top 5. Buffalo will have a pick in the top 15, we should have the ability to grab a top 3 QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 One of the top 3 QBs to be drafted last year went in the 10th to a team that placed 4th in the AFC. Just cuz its not a supertank doesnt mean we cant draft a good prospect. Im starting to question this teams talent recognition with all the trades/releases and the ps Super Hero Lee at LB for the pats* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before, the tank DID work for the sabres. it's everything that they did after it that failed miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 On the flip side of things, we managed to find Eddie Yarborough and Jordan Poyer, both of which have had great seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What player in his right mind is going to decrease his individual performance and value for the sake of his team moving up in the draft. In the old days that might have occurred, but today, with free agency and salaries as they are, it's everyone for himself, no matter what anyone says.

Big Turk Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) We didnt set ourselves back at all. In football more than any other sport drafting high doesnt mean you get the right player. Roethlesberger was drafted 18th, Flacco was a mid first round pick..Rodgers was picked 26th, Brees 32nd in 2nd round, Carr in 2nd round, Brady 6th round, Wilson 3rd round, Prescott 4th round... Tanking doesn't guarantee you anything in football and you dont really need to do it if you draft well.

Either way, still shows you dont need a 1st overall pick at QB to be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobChalmers Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 One more slip by the Chiefs vs. the Chargers and their pick will shoot up into the top 15 as well. Bills will be fine for draft capital on draft day - we'll just have to watch and see how the all-new staff does picking the players. Won't really know until 2019 or so though. Btw, Jared Goff was a bust last year - remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also question all these predictions that Mayfield is a late 1st pick - if he tears it up in the playoffs, how id he not in the top 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Flacco fan either but he has a Super Bowl ring and played really well for a few postseasons as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnald and Rosen will go top 5. Buffalo will have a pick in the top 15, we should have the ability to grab a top 3 QB. There's no way Mayfield doesn't go top 20 imo... I'm almost certain he'll go top 10, especially if they win their playoff game and get to the National Championship. Also, there's always 1 or 2 QB's whose draft stock skyrockets after the combine, the closer we get to draft day. If the Bills snagged Mayfield without having to trade up, I'd be stoked. I'd be thrilled if we get any of the top guys though, as they're all better than the class we had last year (minus Watson). Reminds me of the Rivers, Manning & Roethlisberger draft class (the one where we traded back into the 1st round & took JP Losman...ugh). Hopefully, we'll have better luck this go-around.
