Who else really wants a first round MLB?

You must really like going 8-8 every season

Not sure about taking a LB round one but I do know this team has needed faster and better play from their linebackers for a long time. I wouldn't be upset if we took one round one if it helps our defense.

A ray Lewis or kuechly make us a 10, 11 win team. I understand it's an unreasonable goal like saying it'd be nice if we got a TB12 this draft

Absolutely.  I would've loved to grab us a Patrick Willis, Luke Kuechly or Khalil Mack over the years.  Everybody is talking about the franchise QB which is true we do absolutely need but if we are going to become a contender we also need to land a franchise game changer on the defensive side too.

There are a ton of mocks out there saying Oakland will get the kid Smith from Georgia to be their MLB

My bad.  I thought your post was asking what other teams want an MLB.

oh. We if he's special, I'd love the pick. I think a guy like Josh Allan could be fine at 22, according to how much of TBD hates him, and we could still move up for a slew of picks for the QB.

 

And AJ Mccaron is growing on me tbh

It's around this time every year I wish I was a fly on the wall in the Bills front office.  It will come down to just how Beane and McDermott and Daboll, and the scouts and so on rank the QBs in this draft.  If they think the top six guys are pretty much equivalent, then I'd much rather they take a guy like Smith at 12 that has bona fide All Pro written all over him and then take say a Jackson at 22 for QB.

 

My guess is they think one of these QB sis a can't miss kind of pick and they will move up to get him.  And if I had to guess which one I'd say Rosen.

Khalil Mack becomes an UFA next year and we will have the money to pay him.

I agree with the OP. I don't think any of these quarterbacks are *worth* that high pick as we get closer to the draft.  However, are any of the linebackers worthy of it either?  Do any of the LBs stand out as that Derrick Brooks/Ray Lewis type difference maker?

Definitely all in on QB, but if we go a different route to get there (12, 53, next years 1st?), and we still have 22, I'd be happy to pick up whoever's left of the top LB's (Smith, Evans, Edmunds, Vander Esche).

It’s hard.  We need our QB. NEED. 

 

With that being said, if we could keep our picks and grab a MLB, WR, RT, C, OLB, and DB with our first 6 picks, we would be in great shape. 

 

Ideally, I wish we liked all 4 QB’s and would just take one at 12. But I feel like only Allen would fall and I’d be forced to vomit for 3 straight days after

I'd also love to pair Vita Vea next to Star, but we've only got a couple draft picks in the first and it's likely both will go towards one of "the big three" QBs (and rightfully so).

Although both are good DT's, they both play the 1 technique. Not sure they're actually a good fit next to each other. 

 

I guess you'd make it impossible to run up the middle, but you probably wouldn't get much pressure up the middle either.

I tried doing a poll, but apparently I don't know how to do that, as I keep getting errors.  If you want a true answer, create a poll asking:

 

Who would you rather have, in the following scenarios?:

 

Josh Rosen - QB (trade up and give up picks).

 

Roquan Smith - LB (stay at 12 and keep all of your picks).

I like Rashaan Evans more than I like any other LB in the draft, he has Patrick Willis potential. He is projected as a mid to late 1st round pick, I like him at 22. 

 

Josey Jewell is another guy I like, he is projected as a 3rd to 4th round pick, he would be awesome with that 65th pick we got from the Browns.

 

I think it's very possible we walk away with Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield at 12 AND Rashaan Evans or Roquan Smith.

They don't really make a difference (W or L wise) without a franchise QB

 

But they do exist, and teams have gone on runs without franchise QBs. 

 

Not arguing we don't need a long term answer QB.

We are on the same page. They are nice to have and can be very helpful. Also I will be fuming if we take a LB and pass on QB, although it would be rather billsy of us...

Since the game changed to favor the passing game more the AFC rep for the Superbowl has been Brady, Manning, or Ben all but 1 year. QB is what matters if you think a guy is a franchise QB and you have the draft capital to get him then there is no excuse for not getting your guy. In 2 years those 3 dominant QBs will be gone and the Conference will be up for grabs for the first time in 15 years, we need to take every chance we can to be the team with the QB to step into that void.

Yeah....no.

 

I'll see your generational talent MLB and raise you a QB who can put the ball where he wants it go, consistently.

 

My guy beats your guy in today's NFL almost always.

 

Look at the Superbowl!  A great MLB has no impact on that game whatsoever. 

 

It's like bringing a huge, really sharp survival knife to a gun fight.  You're going to be dead meat.
