auburnbillsbacker Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think the chances of them not drafting a qb in round 1 is close to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 To me people are confusing trading UP for Drafting one in the first round. As I said earlier in the thread, I think the Bills Draft a QB - and probably in the 1st round - but that doesn’t necessarily mean going into top 5....I think they see what’s there at 12 - which to me is why they did that - and possibly take their guy there and use the rest of the picks to get good football players. At at this point, I truly believe it’s possible they take a guy like Jackson at 12, with the intent of AJ starting a year or two, and giving Jackson that time to take over.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Mead this is looking more and more realistic. The more I see of AJ the more I like. He’s got some pretty good situational game stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t make all these moves and say everything to become Cleveland and pass on the QB when they have the chance. Back down buddy. No reason to get nasty with my pal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Rudolph will end up the best QB in this draft. Bingo. That would be smart drafting and still have all our picks to build this team for years to come. Beane seems slick, I wouldnt be surprised if he takes this route. He would be the GM of the century if AJM lights it up too. Keep in mind the trade with the Bengals was to UNLOAD Glenn, the pick swap was added bonus in the deal, imo. Many see this as moving up for a QB, I see it as moving on from an injury prone OT and getting a sweet pick in doing so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally speculate that they may draft a LB and OL or wr with the 1st 2 picks. Then draft another QB later in the draft. That is unless one of the top (that they like) falls to 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I can see it happening. I think they have in mind the QB they want, and if he's not there when they're on the clock, they will fill another position before they settle for a QB they aren't as hot on. Either they get their #1 guy or they don't take a QB is my guess. Maybe there is ore than one they would take, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too crazy - he has not suggested trading our starting DE for John Skelton. That poster should have been banned but with migration to new board some think bodies are buried. On 3/15/2018 at 7:25 AM, maryland-bills-fan said: Do we know if McCarron himself didn't want a mulit-year contract? (2 years $10 to $16.5 million) It is also likely that he wanted a place where he would be the starter for the first year for sure in order to prove himself. Then he would be valuable bait to be traded somewhere either the 2nd year as a starter (with a new longer, better paid contract) OR be a free agent after two years and cash in big-time. ?? We don't know if the Bills or McCarron wanted his contract to end after the 2nd year. or Bills could negotiate with him during 2nd year on a longer contract. He is a QB who had a lot of promise but never got his shot. On 3/15/2018 at 12:30 PM, NewEraBills said: It'll take a cold day in hell to get the Colts to pass on Barkley.

They specifically asked him who was the best player left on day 2. Without hesitation, he stated "Jonathan Martin". Then when the Bills were up, they passed on Martin and took Cordy Glenn. They did not ask who he was best player for ... reporters are sometimes so shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVJ Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Now that the Jets traded up It could change things. If none of the top 5 drop to 12. Then I think we draft Mike White or Luke Falk on last day of draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, it is not like QB is the only missing piece. We have a lack of talent in more than one position and a way to address that, now, is with premier draft picks (6 of the top 100).

As I said, the evidence is circumstantial and wouldn't convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. So I get there's a dissenting interpretation. By why would you trade your starting OT away to move up in the draft if the Bills just want to "add talent, in bulk"? If that was the plan, we'd keep Glenn. We lost talent to move up. For what purpose? To get some undetermined player at some undetermined position? Draft day may prove me wrong but I think Beane's got his eyes on someone - someone who lines up behind the center.

Cordy Glenn is not the player profile McD or Beane value, ala Sammy Watkins, in my opinion. In fact, if you describe them without alluding to their literal skill set, they are identical "......lots of potential, gifted, ideal body type, when healthy are productive, yet nagging injuries and attitude / commitment toward enduring a full season are questionable...." When the Glenn trade was made, my first reaction was "genius", the second was we now have 6 of the top 100 picks....this will infuse talent immediately, both for short-term success and then with a nod to long-term sustained competitiveness. For me, that simple. Again, I could be wrong. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to Beane - moving from 21 to 12 is the equivalent of a 2nd round grade and that the guys they liked were in the 10-12 range and they believed they were wasting their time looking at certain players since they weren’t falljg to 21. And that does signal to me a QB, but I also believe he’s telling us the truth about not necessarily trading up - and allowing the Draft to come to them.
