njbuff Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 This class could be MAJORLY overhyped. What do you think? And does this force the Bills hand to sign Cousins since this class could be unimpressive? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think that every QB coming out this year has their warts. Darnold has been inconsistent, Rosen is all beat up, and the rest all seem to be getting mixed reviews. If anything, I don’t think this is the year to “mortgage the farm” and move up for that franchise guy. So yes, I think this forces Buffalo to make some kind of QB move in FA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) It is still markedly better than the 2017 class IMO Rosen and Darnold pretty much have displayed no interest in going to Cleveland so it didn't surprise me to see Rosen sit out his bowl game and USC unimpress those 2 guys are still better NFL prospects than Trubisky and the like . Not to mention Baker and the guy that a lot of scouts love in josh Allen and Lamar Jackson Then there is a whole host of round 2-4 guys Edited December 31, 2017 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurpleBull Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think it's a good QB class. This is the Bills year to get their guy in the 1st rd. if they want to unless they want to wait to see what next year holds. Too many draft picks.

My guess is Allen climbs up the charts throughout the off season and ends up in the top 10 on day one. He will be like Flacco who was originally projected as a third rounder and then shot up the board after the season ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRUSHx Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Tyrod for starter next year guys will of course call this class unimpressive. Every year it's the same old story, wait till next year it's a better class. Recliner GMs know this guys or that guys will fail, how many knew for sure Watson was a bust before the draft. It is sad how many times the Bills avoid drafting big on a QB, I am sure it has aided the longest playoffless streak in all of sports. Your not ever going to be a playoff team with other teams backup QBs as your starter. Edited December 31, 2017 by xRUSHx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEN-CAL17 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) As I’ve said Rudolph, Ferguson and Finley are in the Bills wheel house as far as potential picks. Not to mention all 3 of them looked solid in their Bowl games. This isn’t a response of who’s better... just wondering if anyone pays attention to those 3. I think Darnold stays at USC, Rosen goes top 2, Allen goes shortly after and Mayfield goes top 15. No to Jackson.

RyanC883 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) I'm underwhelmed with the "hyped" picks of Darnold and Allen. Darnold is way too inconsistent and makes too many turnovers against Pac-12 D's. Allen scares me. He has the size, but has under-performed in a very weak conference. However, I think there are some good QB's in this class. My top 2 are Rosen and Mayfield. Although I doubt the Bills draft Mayfield. I haven't watched enough Rudolph to have an opinion. Luke Falk's numbers intrigue me. 70% completion 2 years in a row. Anyone like him? Likewise Furgeson also impresses me from a numbers standpoint, but have not seen him play. I'd grab one of these guys in 1st or 2nd: Rosen, Mayfield, Furgeson, Rudolph (perhaps). And then grab either: Falk or McSorley in a later round.

Success Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Not me. Darnold has a rough game, but the talent there is pretty clear. I’d be thrilled to get him, Rosen or Mayfield. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a product of draft culture. They need to hype the draft early and often. If anyone bothered to watch him play you see a kid that needs a lot of work to make it in the NFL. I hope Beane and team can see through the hype. Edited December 31, 2017 by 1B4IDie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Josh Rosen will be in the hall of fame...if he wants to be. Not sure if he does. Best QB prospect since Andrew Luck. But he might get a concussion and get freaked out and about brain damage and quit. He doesn't need the game, has money, highly intelligent, other interests. Does he have the desire to be the best? What is his motivation? Everyone needs something to drive them. If you watch the Elite 11 program (it's on YouTube) he said he was using football to meet people and pay for school. He was the #1 QB in the country and surprisingly he didn't say "I want to be the best ever." I think if he gets picked by Cleveland he will lose interest and flame out and do something else with his life and be just as happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 We'll be drafting anywhere from about 15-22 (didn't do math beyond a quick wins and losses).

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The Bills should've drafted Cousins. If he is available we absolutely need to get him. He will be one of the top 8 QB's in the NFL and will feed off the passion and energy of Bills fans on game day. I could see Shady having 1,800 yards of total offense with Cousins at QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I am sure they do not hear the fans yelling for change at all...SMH Fans buy tickets and if OBD opens there eyes they will see fans have waited long enough, if a QB is not taken this draft they will have a revolt of fans wanting this new staff fired by the end of 2019 IMO. Fans buy tickets and when fans want something they will let OBD know it. Remember the booing at TC? Remember Chan sticking with Fitz even with fans wanting him replaced, well fans won and Chan Fitz got fired. 12 minutes ago, jmc12290 said: Remember the last time we reached for a QB? We got EJ.

Goes to show how bad OBD is at drafting QBs when EJ is the best they can do. Edited December 31, 2017 by xRUSHx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
