Mat68 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Your nightmare is my fantasy. If Buffalo walks away from the draft with Allen, Rosen, or Darnold I will be delighted. Also, if Buffalo felt that strongly for Mayfiled or Jackson I would be fine with it as well. Buffalo has not been poor enough to be in position to draft a franchise Qb in my life time. The only time they were close was when Newton went 1. By making the moves they made during training camp and the season Buffalo has a surplus of picks. If they used 3 or 4 picks to get into the top 5 to get a franchise Qb I am all aboard that bandwagon I may even be driving it. After getting the Qb they still should have a second to add an athletic linebacker, lineman, or pass catcher. With the rest of the draft go BPA. By not spending all the cap space this year on 1 player they will be able to sure up the holes in the starting line up. Now they dont have to be starters but also doesn't leave the position bare for a rookie to start regardless of readiness. I think Zay is a prime example of forcing a rookie to play before he was 100% ready to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If it makes you feel any better, you'll never know if it does happen. Whomever they pick - they're gonna say it was THE guy they fell in love with during the draft process. Even if he really was their 3rd choice, who would ever admit it?

If it is on, I will watch it. For a while I believe it was required viewing on TBS as they seemingly aired it 4 days a week. I gave it as one of the gifts to a buddy in my wedding party. it is not great. It is not necessarily well acted. It has a story that could have been dusted off and propped up from any B movie in the 50s. ...and I do love it so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... is Allen that much better of a prospect than Jackson? Both raw, both have rocket arms, both will need to sit behind someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but you're forgetting that Allen (who missed games this year from a shoulder injury) is much more durable than Lamar (who has never missed a game).

jahnyc Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I am wondering if the Bills trade up to draft a linebacker (Roquan Smith from Georgia?). Probably does not mean much, but I thought Allen looked great at the Senior Bowl game. Would not be upset if we used one of our first round pick on him if he was still there (which very likely he will not be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Only thing im "afraid" of is them not trying to do anything at QB like the previous staff's. Even though EJ sucked and it was a poor draft class at least they finally tried. Edited February 1, 2018 by Scott7975 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zay is a prime example of forcing a rookie to play before he was 100% ready to. I've got to disagree with that. A few years ago we could've taken Carr but they passed on him and last year they could've taken Watson or Mahomes but again passed on them. It isn't that they haven't had a chance at a franchise QB it's that they keep passing up the opportunity to draft one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Qbs are not only found in the 1st round Its just this year there appear to be some really good ones that will be taken in the first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While playing darts in the garage this thing came jumping across the ground. Soon to be stomped out. That's why I will never complain about the cold. Keeps the bugs from getting to big. Scarier than jumping spiders, bad QB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LBs are probably the most important part of the McD defense and Buffalo pretty much needs to overhaul that position group entirely. I could definitely see a move up for Roquon or Edmunds.

They would give up both assets and not get one of their top choices which I think wpuld be an even bigger disaster than not drafting a guy at all That would be a rerun of the Losman situation.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Would love to get a QB who has been bitten by a radioactive jumping spider. I bet he could really move around in and out of the pocket. Really though, I echo those who are afraid they just won't do anything. If they like the top 2-4 guys pretty close to the same, then trading up to #2-4 overall is not a waste of picks. Do it. If you're lost in a forest, then you gotta pick a direction and start walking.

In this hypothetical scenario, I'd assume some veteran QB + another developmental prospect (with Peterman at least in camp too). Whether it's Keenum, Bradford, a scrub like Derek Anderson, or even just keeping Tyrod, I'm not sure. But if they decide to move up for a LB, I don't think they can really afford to not have a veteran in place in case none of the top 5 QB prospects slide to #22 (hypothetically speaking, I'm assuming Buffalo only trades one of their 2018 first round picks to move up for a LB).
