We desperately need to get more talent at the point of attack to push the pocket and rush the passer, and eat up blocks to allow our linebackers to run to the ball. Vea and one of the 3-techniques like Hurst or Wilkins would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iverwig Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Buffalo will not have either of these picks because they will trade up to move up in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel he can be the guy you don't lose him. I don't feel like he could be the guy. But given we have two 1st and two 2nds, I'm fine taking a flier on a guy in round 2 vs using a top 22 pick on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieJohnsonGOAT Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Screw drafting defense. Jaguars have by far the best defense in the league and they have no chance at winning the super bowl because their QB sucks. I hope the Bills trade up for one of the top QBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 19 hours ago, Canadian Bills Fan said: I can see them trading up to pick 15 or so but not much further up than that I am with you. I don't really see a QB in this draft that is such a certainty that they should give up the farm to move all the way to the top. Rosen and Darnold are interesting prospects, but not sure things. I like what I've seen of Mayfield, but his size could become an issue in the NFL. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have tools, but are far from sure things and Mason Rudolph has questions. To be clear, I think all are decent to good QB prospects and would not be opposed to one of the Bills' 1st rounders being used on one, but I wouldn't give up more than a 1st and a 2nd to move up for any of these guys unless the Bills think that one of these guys is almost certain to be good.

And who is to say whoever your "surefire" 1st rounder you draft instead isn't Tony Mandrich? Point is you can't win the lotto if you don't have a ticket. BPA is certainly "not hard" when you have a QB. When you have Aaron Rodgers, sure take a flier on Hundley early. Doesn't work out...so be it. When you have bupkis at the position you draft one you like, one that you feel good about tying your career on and take him. Take him a round before the "experts" think because if you don't someone else sure will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is why force a pick above what he is projected, if Rudolph is projected a 2nd-3rd round that’s where you pick him there if he’s there. If you want waste another pick like when the Bills picked EJ Manuel and JP Losman instead improving your team in other areas instead of QB, be my guess. I rather build my team like the Vikings where it’s a strong overall roster and the QB just has to competent.

You do realize that the Vikes actually drafted a QB (Bridgewater) over where some had him projected, then burned and the 1st when Teddy got hurt (that's 2 1st right there if you're keeping score) only to get by this season from a freaky season by Keenum that if I'm a betting man would say he will never have again...right? That's the model you like? So in short, they spend 2 firsts only to have Case Keenum take over. Not great long term planning. Sounds all very Fitzpatrickish to me...and we have all seen that movie before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll be willing to part with the draft capital required to move from where we are into the top 8 for one of the top guys. We'll need to give up 3 first rounders at least which is an enormous ask in my eyes. I think that's a huge risk, and think the Bills should hedge their bets, by acquiring a competent veteran, and drafting another guy in round 2 or 3.

We will have a new veteran starter (or TT) to get familiar with the team and there is not enough plays on the practice field or preseason games to work on two new QV's.

I rather build my team like the Vikings where it’s a strong overall roster and the QB just has to competent. I agree with you completely. I firmly believe our offensive coaching and offensive skill talent is not at a level that will let any young QB succeed here. Look at Goff, everyone was ready to write him off as a bust last year, the Rams brought in a dynamic offensive coach, a new LT and Center and 3 WRs and suddenly he's on the right track. On the flip side, Dak was hailed as the second coming, but Zeke gets suspended, Dez is a shell of his former self and suddenly the vibe is "what's wrong with Dak, did we crown him too soon"?

Woodman19 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Shoe on the other foot question. Say we own pick #2. Do you take an offer from say Jacksonville for 22, 23, 50 and a 1st next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
