PIZ Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Per Benjamin Allbrights Twitter: "Everyone who had Richmond QB Kyle Lauletta slotted as a "day 3 guy" can go ahead and move him up to day 2". Per Eric Edholm, Pro Football Weekly Twitter: "Anyone remember QB Aaron Corp? Had cups of coffee with the Bills, Cowboys and Dolphins He was Kyle Lauletta's QB coach this past season at Richmond".

Victory Formation Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I like him as a RD2 option, I prefer Rudolph but I do like Lauletta. I'm not a big fan of trading up, I think Rosen and Darnold will be gone anyways. Browns would be stupid to not take Darnold and likewise for the Giants if they pass on Rosen. If we stay put, I like Rudolph. If we can trade down, I'll take the extra picks and draft Lauletta. I think he would be a great option behind Case Keenum, we'll know more after free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Per Daniel Jeremiah on Lauletta / Patriots: "If I were them, I wouldn’t take one in the first round," he said. As for names to keep an eye on, Jeremiah is very high on Lauletta. The Richmond QB has drawn some comparisons to Jimmy Garoppolo. “When I saw him live for the first time I thought OK, he kind of reminds me of a little bit of a suped-up version of Drew Stanton," he said. "Drew Stanton has started games in the league. He’s been in the league for a long time coming out of Michigan State. The more I watch him I think he is a better version than that. Just in terms of -- I don’t think he has one trait that is going to blow you away with arm strength, accuracy, athletic ability, all that stuff -- he’s just solid. He’s really, really good across the board. "I think [Jimmy] Garoppolo had a little bit more pop on the ball coming out. He has a little more twitch as a player overall. I don’t think he’s quite the athlete from that standpoint that Jimmy was. There are some similarities there and there’s no discernible weakness either.” 7 minutes ago, BillsEnthusiast said: I haven't heard too much about him. What little I have seen is pretty pedestrian.

That is who he’s studied for a long time. You can see him adopting some of those mannerisms. He doesn’t have the arm strength that Tom has. That is the one difference between the two. Toughness inside the pocket, he’s got that, and release, mannerism and movement, he’s very similar to Tom.” Here's the link to the article: http://www.weei.com/blogs/weei/nfl-medias-draft-guru-daniel-jeremiah-not-sunday-podcast-patriots-shouldnt-draft-qb-1st?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Edited March 4, 2018 by PIZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't the only two guys in the draft and the Bills are evaluating all of the prospects including 2nd/3rd tier guys which makes sense. You seem to be fixated on Rosen and Darnold though and I just think that's wishful thinking. If the Browns take Barkley #1, Darnold and Rosen could both be gone at #4, so Barkley is not an option at #1. What about the Giants? Eli Manning is a billion years old, I do not see the Giants passing on Rosen, they're way too smart of a franchise to do that. Once again, who do you like? You have these delusional thoughts that we are going to somehow trade up for Rosen or Darnold, it's not happening. Our only option may be to sift through the 4th, 5th, 6th best prospect. If we can find a journeyman veteran to carry the load, we can groom a prospect behind him for a few years. Cousins, Brady and Garropolo have one thing in common, they got to sit for a few years. Rudolph or Lauletta behind Keenum for 1-2 years is our best chance. In an ideal world we could draft the top rated QB, but that's just not how the real world works.

KDIGGZ Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Poor showing by Lauletta. Just another guy out there today. Pushes the ball when he throws.

The question you were asked earlier is what are your thoughts. Since you're timid I'll go first. I personally wouldn't touch Darnold with a 10 foot pole. If I could get into the top 10 (1-2) I'd take Rosen. I couldn't pass up Allen in the top 10. I do believe Mayfield will have a successful career and would move up to get him. I would not pick Jackson in the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a matter of timidity, I just don't feel like repeating myself from what I've posted on several occasions. Good to know where you stand. Mike Tanier's opinion on Lauletta: Speaking of middle-round prospects, Richmond's Kyle Lauletta looked the way I expected him to look after watching him throughout Senior Bowl week. Lauletta is smooth, quick and accurate on short stuff. Once the prospects had to throw deep, though, Lauletta needed everything he had to deliver the ball, compromising his accuracy. In the post-corner drills, the throws were just beyond Lauletta's range. He's more of a heady backup than a potential quarterback of the future.
