noacls Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Bills did not have a qb last year and they made playoffs. No need to give up all your picks. Fill out your roster and do everything you can for qb in free agency, draft, or trade. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 it will send many off the deep end, which frankly could be very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I have been reserving judgment on this front office for over a year with the understanding that they were positioning themselves (and gathering assets) to get a QB near the top of this draft. Ending the drought and the other (good) personnel moves they've made between then and now have been happy additions for me... But it's still about this pick and this position. I don't care who they pick - I have my favorite of course, but if they love someone different go for it IMO. Don't let the draft come to them - make the moves needed to bend the draft to their will. If they screw it all up now by getting boxed out of thier guy, especially by the Jests, it'll be tough for me to be optimistic about Beane's longevity in Buffalo. It would be a disaster to crap out now - one that would end up with us stuck back in the same "rebuild" and "tear down" cycle of mediocrity we've been mired in for almost two decades. This is a franchise changing pick coming up. Make no mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If Beane and McD do NOT get one of the top four QBs. The reality is their two year plan FAILED. And should take MAJOR Heat for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins Malone Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Beane isnt getting fired we all know that. To dance you need a partner. Teams maynot want to drop to 12. As its been said we will get one the question is where and who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need in repeating that. Just sit back as fans and relax. We can't do **** anyway. ESPN, news articles, podcasts saying that Bills need to trade up into Top 5 to get a QB is STUPID. It's like, "HEY GUYS. LOOK AT ME. ATTTENTION WHORE. WHOOO. LET ME TAKE OFF MY BRA." attention seeking stuff. To me, it's dead. Bills trying "like hell?" No they're not. I would be like, "Hey this is what we can offer." To the logical fan who is actually following this should be thinking, "Hey we don't have a top 10 pick to get into the Top 5.

We were picking in the 20s because we had a good season(we made the playoffs )Now 12. We can only do such much to get the guy we want. Teams maynot want to trade back. People are acting like its so easy for the bills to move up and get one of these guys. Alot of teams want qbs.

It is 100% a failure. That is what this was about. Get the capital to make any move you want and need to secure a too QB this year. That is why you passed on QBs last year. So if you do not take your swing it is a failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was to draft a top QB this year. That plan may not work out. Plan B is a QB later in the round that may need more development. No first round QB as the OP stated ? That is absolutely a failure to address the situation with any kind of plan. I don't think this will happen, but it would clearly be a failure if it did.

Then you should have taken your QB last year. The FO put this pressure on themselves. That is the reality. They sold of takent for picks. To go all in to get their QB. Jets got to 3.

Well I agree with that. I think we have a 50/50 shot at moving up. I think if we can, we should. Even if it comes with a heft price tag. The thing is that even if we do move up, there’s always the chance that the QB we pick will bust and set the franchise back, so it’s a risky proposition. I believe we should swing for the fences, but these certainly are anxious times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
