1st&ten Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I remember a few years back one poster was so frustrated he wanted to draft QB's in rounds 1-5. He was serious too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say "we flipped a coin". I am not entirely averse to the idea of picking 2 QBs with our first rounders. In addition to the competitive aspect, say both of them are close, we can flip them for a high pick in 2-3 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was serious too. The question you have to ask is.........are there any Bills draft picks from that year still on the team? Probably not. Not so crazy when you look at it like that. I'll say this too........when McD's defense works it's because guys are hustling and playing smart..........and those aren't really the primary things teams look for in round 1. The Pats just went to a SB with 16 UDFA's on their 53 man roster...........and aside from Malcom Brown, Gilmore(FA) and Butler(a UDFA)......really their entire starting defense was castoffs and vets that wouldn't get much attention on the open market.......and despite a terrible SB there were a great scoring defense for the prior 3 months. I like talent all over the field.........it's fun to plug in talent on paper..........but give me a QB and some dudes to throw to and a coach who can get his defense to exceed the sum of it's parts and I will roll with that. 14 minutes ago, Fan in Chicago said: I am not entirely averse to the idea of picking 2 QBs with our first rounders.

Jimmy Johnson picked Troy Aikman #1 overall then just months later took Steve Walsh #1 in the supplemental draft. Then after Aikman separated he flipped Walsh to the Saints for a #1.

Thurman#1 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 No. I'm a big fan of taking a lot of shots at QB. But certainly not two in the first. It's like when you have a rose. Wanna develop the blossoms? You have to prune off the majority and keep doing so. The plant only has enough energy to truly support a few blossoms. One of those guys would turn into a long-term development prospect, a guy who wouldn't get enough reps to know what you had till three or four years down the road. And while you can do that with a lower pick, doing it with a #1 would be a poor use of resources. On the other hand, using both those picks for a QB (by trading up) makes a ton of sense.

Woodside is a reach but I like being able to secure Rudolph and Jackson. If Silvers pans out it’s a great draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeneblitz Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 It'd be way better to use any possible ammo to get the guy they most believe in, I'm personally fine with 3 1st round picks if that's what it takes to end the QB zoid once and for all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
