Likely to be the same people that will complain bitterly when the front office doesn't do exactly what they think should happen, or quibble over every single draft pick, or tell us they can do this whole thing better. What ev. These are the same people that should the Bills ever win a Super Bowl will complain that we didn't win by enough points or our QB didn't throw for enough yards.

You have nothing to show for the 2017 draft and you've set yourself back years. Fallacy on setting anything back years. Too much is over 50% premium on the pick moving into.

There would have been a bidding war for him if he hit UFA as opposed to what happened with AJM. McCarron will have a chance nonetheless to prove all doubters wrong.

Again if this draft truly has 70 starting-caliber players, the Bills can get 5 of them, and they trade them away for the chance at one guy at a position with a 30% success rate of being a franchise QB, that's not a good use of resources. And if he turns out to be one of the 70%... And McCarron was never going to unseat Dalton. Not with the Bengals giving Dalton a huge extension prior to the 2014 season, making the playoffs every year Dalton had been there through the 2015 season, and Dalton having an excellent 2016 season.

I like how this argument goes to 30% success rate for the position. What is the Success rate of players picked at 65? 53? this argument always goes we can get starters with the other picks without actually talking about the CHANCE of THAT actually happening. If you actually lay that out, I bet it doesn't look as bad to package them up for that 30% chance at finally fixing the most important position on the football field.
