Fetou Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 How enraged will Bills fans be if the Bills trade up to 5 and take him? I would love to see the reactions! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 My personal stock for this kid has rose a ton over the last week doing my own little research. This article is pretty much spot on to the conclusion I had during that research. He jumped to #3 for me a couple days ago and I would be happy to see him in a Bills Uni all day. 1. Rosen 2. Mayfield 3. Jackson or BUST....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Why is Jackson the target? Snarkily I thought...’cause he is the only one they can get.’ stinker! Edited March 18, 2018 by RalphWilson'sNewWar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Jackson is my 3rd favorite guy behind Mayfield and rosen. I think the ep offense connection can't be ignored so I also don't think it's a huge leap to think he is there guy. Darnold and Allen are the 2 I most worry about with the top 5 guys. I think Jackson would be there at 12 so choosing him would allow the Bills to rebuild with the rest of their picks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playoffs? Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I could live with Jackson.. as long as we don’t have to trade up for him. Will he last until 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping we can get him at 22. After the big 4 are off the board- that leaves 18 selections before 22. There are many damn good football players outside the QB position- I think there is a shot Jackson slides that far. And didn't Vick go top 5? Jackson is better then VIck in his prime. I would be happy if we Jackson is a Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The Bills just traded away a more accurate, safer with the ball running QB. why on earth would they even be looking at another who needs a few years of development time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Maybe if he fell to 22 and Beane had used 12 for V V or a MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I draft Roquan at 12 and monitor where Mayfield and Jackson slide. We have plenty of coin to trade up from 22 to say 16. And it won't cost anywhere as much as 12 to 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 ...couple of quick questions...what if THAT system is NOT what McD wants to employ?.....who wins that argument?......not being able to watch college ball, I am ASSUMING (probably wrong) from what I've read that Jackson is generically an upscale TT, meaning greater attributes.....so in YOUR view (forget my opinion), was it TT's "style" that excluded him from the long term plan or was it his deficiencies as is in a consistently threatening passing game (or lack thereof) that caused the decision?.....does Jackson's ability in the passing game exceed those abilities and if so, does his overall style fit in what this gang is looking for?.....

And it won't cost anywhere as much as 12 to 2 My money is on Roquan being gone by 12 and Jackson by 15. I'm curious if the media perceptions will be clarified in the next month. You can still get an over/under prop on Jackson which has him at like pick 31.5. The under was ~(-220), but still seems like free money to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Dolphins may want Mayfield. Definitely heard Arizona may like him. I know (newly retired) Bruce Arians supposedly loves him. I think the trade with Cincy happened for multiple reasons. But... Could part of the reason be that Beane wanted to trade up in front of Arizona? (Although I think that is likely even if Jackson isn't the target, simply because Arizona is definitely in the QB market). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade up to 12 to get everyone to think you are moving up to 3, when the real target can be taken at 12. Who knows? Don't lose faith TBD. "Trust the Process" goes for us too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
