I think if we grade the QBs and like two and can't get them...then Foles is a nice option and we can give up more for him. Two picks (between this year and next) and no first rounders would be solid. Then we can work the draft this year too! I think my favourite options are... 1. Mayfield 2. Rosen 3. Foles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 2 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: I question how he'll be perceived in an NFL room with the cocky attitude and I do have some concerns on how consistent he can be as a pocket QB with his size and limited athleticism at the NFL level. I'd give him a shot, but he's no 100% sure thing. All the reports are he's like Garappolo, someone people just gravitate towards. He apparently has the knack for saying the right thing at the right time to defuse a situation (the Ohio State players on the Senior Bowl bus report). I think he'll be fine. I'm more concerned by the vetted reports that he reads everything that is written about him, carries it around, and uses it as fuel. That can be motivational, but if he struggles and the negativity from fans and press stacks up , it can also be a heavy weight for a guy to bear, and potentially a bad look if he "claps back".

The most important piece to me is to have a great evaluation on the QBs in the draft and available in the league already. That is the key to making the best play. Yes but there is way too much to play out..... Do they want Kirk, or Nick. Maybe another FA What QBs in the draft are worth giving up several picks for? I dont know, I think they do. I hope. Paying several picks to get the 3rd or 4th best QB in this draft may not make the team any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certainly the way I see it. Bradford should be a "cautionary tale" to the danger of bringing a guy back too quickly.

Paul Costa Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Does he play like a Super Bowl MVP on a consistent basis? Nope! Who does that’s available?? silly statement!! He’s the best possible player to make the Bills better at that position. There is no QB in the draft that you can say is going to be better than him. A couple of them may be but right now they don’t have a NFL resume. Nick Foles is not a top 5 QB but should be in the discussion of the lower end of top 10 (8th, 9th, or 10th). The Bills can trade for him using one of our firsts and maybe a lower pick or a 2019 4th we received from the Chiefs for Reggie Ragland. That way we will have a solid QB with money next year to resign him if he plays well. You would still have pick 21, 53, 56, 65, and 95 to help to solidify our defense and add a OL or WR. And although I liked TT, Foles would be a solid upgrade to a important position to a team that made the playoffs last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have loaded up their war chest to do just that. It would be SHOCKING if the Bills did anything else at this point to address QB. They aren't going to overpay for Foles’ hot streak. It isn’t like Jimmy G where he played great as soon as the chance presented itself. Foles has a pretty long resume and it is wildly inconsistent. The playoffs last year and the one year with Kelly were great. He’s been pretty much bad the rest of the time. I have no interest in spending on that resume. Give me Rosen or Baker or Darnold and roll. Try to get top end QB play not good enough QB play. It’s the exact reason that you pass on Cousins too. 21,22, 56 and next year’s 2 to go into the top 5. The only way that trade works is if at least two of the Fab 4 appear to be sliding down below pick 6 and maybe down to 14 or 15. In that case more teams will choose to conserve picks for a player who might be just slightly lesser in their minds than one who may go 2-4. With some of the post senior season luster gone and a chance for teams to poke and prod at the combine it is looking like there is a better chance that the top QB's will not cluster at the top of the draft.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I would only give up a 4th rd pick for Foles. Whatever team trades for him will also be giving him a new contract in the 14 to 16 mil a year range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby, I don't think it's as definite as that. The Bills likely have an idea what the price is, but at this point any draft trade-ups are highly dependent on what the trade partner 1) does in FA 2) concludes after further evaluation of the top prospects that interest them 3) gets offered by other teams - as well as what the Bills conclude after further evaluation of the top prospects they'd trade for, and the ones they could possibly get by staying put. It's all conditional and speculative at this point for the teams - it has to be. I see Foles differently, but that's because 1) he interests me 2) I live in St Louis. Foles played well in KC when he got the call. I wouldn't count his year with the Rams against him - or against Case Keenum. You had to look at it "up close and personal" to see how bad it was. The Rams "wonderful" OC the Foles/Keenum years is now our TE coach. Since he's the dude who benched Foles, he possibly has an opinion and some influence? The Foles conundrum is what changed for him between 2013 and 2014. I have my ideas, but only from a 10,000 ft view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
