Losman I find to be a gray area since it doesn't quite mesh with the idea that they valued QB enough to make it their #1 priority. Thanks for checking me on that--it's an important distinction to draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have that kind of upside right now! 100% agreement. I always like to add this one as well: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/nathan-peterman?id=2558191 Some people are in denial, but Rudolph is not the prospect they are dreaming up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all about being aggressive, but do you throw away an entire Draft in the "hopes" that a guy can be the one? I'm not overly excited about ANY of these QB's but everyone is going crazy about grabbing one. Is it a need? Yep a big one. Would I like to get one with our first pick? Sure. Do I want to have a shiny new toy with nobody for him to throw the ball to? With a 30 yr old RB and an O-Line that needs help and depth. Does he sit on the sideline while our porous D can't stop the run and has a hard time getting to the QB and can't cover a TE? I mean a good young QB could be put into a HORRIBLE situation and be damaged forever if not in a good system/position. Forget about reasoning with a pack of food-starved, crazed rabid dogs drooling over what they see is a tasty morsel of something they haven't had for over two decades. Right now every QB in the top few look like the next Jim Kelly to them. Everyone wants the next Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson and what they will get is another Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith. Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Mason Rudolph, Lamar Jackson all go in the first round and probably only two will beat the odds and have good success in the NFL. Which two? As for me, I'd like to keep all the 2018 picks and steal this guy away from Pittsburgh at 22 for leaving us holding our JP Losman. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/3/3/17073246/mason-rudolph-draft-oklahoma-state-qb-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I just did a draft on fanspeak and here is a sample of what the choice would look like... 2018 Starting QB: AJ McCarron (no trade up) with… 12: R1P12 LB TREMAINE EDMUNDS VIRGINIA TECH 22: R1P22 LB RASHAAN EVANS ALABAMA 53: R2P21 WR D.J. CHARK LSU 65: R3P1 RB NICK CHUBB GEORGIA 96: R3P32 QB KYLE LAULETTA RICHMOND 2018 Starting QB: Josh Rosen (after the trade up to #2) with… 56: R2P24 C JAMES DANIELS IOWA 96: R3P32 DL TIM SETTLE Plus no 2nd round pick in 2019 It's very startling when you see a sample of giving up that many prime picks, then you add in the concussion issues with Rosen, along with his possible lack of passion for the game. It's easy to see why the Bills would just forget about trading up and build up a great team around McCarron. BTW, there will be a very good player at #12 if 4 or 5 of these QBs go before their pick.

Chuck Wagon Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The few Giants fans on their message board (man, we are lucky with this board) are demanding the 2019 1st as part of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I continue to maintain that we can't exclude trades of their first round draft slots for QBs: Rob Johnson for the their #9 pick in the '98 draft Drew Bledsoe for their #14 pick in '03 draft JP Losman for their #20 pick in the '05 draft And no, that's not splitting hairs. Those are examples of their actual first round investments in QBs over the years. No need to respond or start a tangent debate on the subject. Like I said, I agree with the spirit of your post. My quibble is treating a future first rounder as equivalent to a first rounder given that it should be discounted by a round. Regardless, they've never had the guts to take a guy fresh out of college with their first slotted pick. In the cases of RJ and Bledsoe, they let other NFL teams develop them first and formed opinions based on their pro experience, not their college experience. That is a BIG difference.

It is NO difference in the expenditure of their draft capital. No matter how you slice it, the Bills used their first pick in the '98 draft on Rob Johnson, the #9 pick overall, etc. Too me, what's quibbling over split hairs is the '83 draft where folks like to point out how we took Hunter instead of Kelly at 12 vs. 14, respectively. I get it, but there just isn't that much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a sheer athletic standpoint he is faster than Rosen and Darnold, has a bigger arm than both of them as well. Allen by far has a higher ceiling than any prospect in the draft, by far. I'm confused. Josh Allen had as good a supporting cast as Lamar Jackson yet Jackson had better stats, won more games against top flight competition and won the Heisman trophy but Allen is a better prospect? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think NFL scouts and decision makers have Baker anywhere near as high as fans do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is no Lamar Jackson of course, but he is quick/fast enough to scramble if a hole opens up or if he needs to buy a little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
