There really isn't a better fit in this draft than Baker and Buffalo.

 

Baker is the one player that I will be legit angry and disappointed if the Bills don't get him on draft day.

and vice versa I will legit angry and disappointed if the Bills do get him on draft day. As I've seen countless former Heisman trophy QBs enter the league and countless of them bust, add to it he's undersized and playing from a spread offense in college screams not NFL QB. Give me Rosen, Darnold or Rudolph (at pick 22) or don't draft a QB in Round 1.

Please be wrong. Mayfield screams imbecilic jackass- Bourbon, Manziel, with a sprightly twist of Ryan Leaf.

^ Is a pretty lazy take.  Give examples why.  Explain yourself.  Or don't and sound like a troll.

I feel that Mayfield is a great fit for the Jets, where-as I feel that Rudolph is a great fit for the Bills.  Grab the top ILB at 12 and then grab Rudolph at 22.  

Let's Do This Buffalo!!!!!

 

Doesn't Rudolph have the smallest hands and weakest arm of the group?

I see alot of validity to us liking Baker Mayfield for  several reasons. 

  • He's a 4-year college performer, who won alot, and was a team captain. I think that these player traits are very big to McBeane,  and with all their talk  about process, mindset, and culture, Mayfield totally  fits this criteria. 
  • Mayfield is great in  the pocket, laser accurate (premium for our decision makers IMO), and can make plays with his feet if need be.
  • He can be had probably as early as 4, but might slide  to 7 or 8. This way, we will not have to give up nearly as much as we would to move up to #2. If he slide to #6, and we traded with Indy, we'd probably still have both 2nd's and both 3rd's.
  • McBeane  are methodical and smart. They know what the fans want, and I think they care what the fans want, to a certain extent. Not that they will pick Mayfield just to make us happy, but I think its also appealing to them to draft Mayfield b/c it be a great perceived move on  their part.

Few are more plugged in to Buffalo, than J-White.  He’s usually very closely tied.  He has some great, great sources.  I believe there’s smoke here.  I don’t think Baker is their top guy, but I do believe he’s an incredible #2 or fallback option.

BTW, here are 2 scenario's I could see very much playing out....

 

Scenario #1 (aggressive & we "get" our  guy)

 

1. Cleveland- Darnold

2. NYG- Chubb/Barkley

3. Jets- Rosen/Allen

4. Cleveland (Trade w/ Bills)- We give up 12, 22, & 53 (2350 value, which is 550 more value points @4 spot). We are taking no chances with Denver. We want either Rosen/Mayfield/Allen (in that order).

 

 

Scenario #2 (more patient & give up less, and take a chance of Denver passing on  a QB)

 

 

1. Cleveland- Darnold

2. NYG- Chubb/Barkley

3. Jets- Rosen/Allen

4. Cleveland- Chubb/Barkley

5. Denver- Nelson/Rosen/Allen. Some will say, where's Mayfield, but IMHO, I think if, big if, Denver takes a QB, I believe they covet Rosen/Allen much more than Mayfield.

6. Indy (trade w/ Bills)- We give up 12 & 22 (1980 value vs. 1700 value  @ pick 6). We take Mayfield here or possibly Allen or Rosen if they slip. Plus, we still have both 2nd's, and both 3rd's

 

what say you??

Remeber when folks said that about colt McCoy? 

 

I loved Colt McCoy and even I knew he wouldn't be taken above the second round. 

 

The Jets are taking him at 3.

 

They'll take Rosen, book it.

I don't believe that for a second. I'm not sure why but I'm having a hard time putting any faith into Jeremy White's "sabres guy." If anything that would be them admitting defeat and saying they would take him if that's all that's left if they can't trade up to the top 5. Or a smoke screen to get Allen or Rosen to fall. I like Mayfield and think he can be very good but I don't think anyone at the top "covets" him when there are other better built QB's with more natural talent. Maybe they like his attitude and his commitment. It fits their underdog mentality. But they would only take him if that's all that's left imo

I think think that there is much more to playing QB in the NFL than who has the most physical tools.  Leadership, drive, preparation and ability to quickly process what you see are as important (maybe more important) in my mind.

 

Looking at some of the all time greats: Montana, Brady, Manning - none of them had the strongest arms or were the most physically talented.
