6 QB's off the board by pick 16

[947]

If we miss the top-3 QBs (disregarding Allen), I'd rather wait wait until Round 2 & grab Lauletta. He has just as much upside (more IMO) than Rudolph or Lamar Jackson.

You realize "interest" is made up by the media. Scouts, GMs do not say a word to anyone outside the organization about who they may or may not have interest in.

Another day. Another thread about why getting a QB is too expensive and we need (insert position here).

 

Some things never change. This draft can't come soon enough.

Rudolph is vastly overrated here.  I wouldn't be surprised to see White or Lauletta go in front of him.  This years Bryce Petty - Connor Cook - Davis Webb who supposedly has first round buzz then goes in round 3 or 4.

It’s mind boggling to me that people think Rudolph is that good. It literally hurts my brain

Who will be the first jerkoff to say Tyrod2.0?

Cunningham v7.0?

I’d love Mayfield on this team. If he was 6’4, Nobody could say ****, but his throws never get batted down. I’ll take the most accurate passer with escape ability and pocket presence. He’s a leader and the boys will love playing for him.

I will! just kidding I think tyrod 2.0 is a completely ridiculous comparison. Jackson can actually throw to the middle of the field and go through progressions. He has some accuracy issues but he was throwing to garbage at Louisville. Im warming up to Jackson as we get closer to the draft

[unbillievable]

While Jackson is probably the most athletic Quarterback in this draft, he sounds (in interviews) dumber than a box of rocks.

Not saying they are going to draft him but have you ever heard of a smokescreen ? Just because they haven't shown much interest in him, doesn't mean they're not interested in him.

Could be typical pre-draft shenanigans going on.

There's people here who wanted to draft Chad Kelly in round 3 last year, what do you expect?

[elroy16]

Good thing scouts and GM's don't base their decisions based on interviews alone.

 

This is a decent article going through Louisville's offense.

Quote

Almost every progression Petrino calls sets out to isolate certain routes against certain coverages, and Louisville wants to hit big, down the field.

 

Varying “Switch” Concepts

Louisville uses this route combination to create 3 possible progressions for Jackson based on his understanding of the coverage:

• Between the 1^st and 3^rd receiver, there’s a “China” concept working.
• Between the 1^st and 2^nd receiver, there’s a Hi-Lo Post-Slant combo.
• Between the 2^nd and 3^rd receiver, there’s a “Switch” concept.

The last piece of Louisville’s money plays is a variation of the “flood” concept I covered earlier. Just like any triangle read, it involves a clear out pattern and a check down, but the intermediate read is a curl/out option route built to isolate a TE against underneath defenders in space.

Jackson has tape attacking every level of this route combination

 

 

I don't think you can run this type of offense without a smart QB who understands coverages, how the route combinations attack those coverages, or the willingness to make all of the throws.

 

 

I'd be more than happy with Jackson at #12.

I think Allen and Rudolph are going to get picked way later than people expect.

It's looking more and more like Allen, Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Jackson and Rudolph go with the first 16 picks.

 

My thoughts are

 

Allen to the Browns, Darnold to the Giants, Rosen to the Jets, Mayfield to Broncos, Jackson to the Bills and Rudolph to the Ravens.

 

I'm thrilled if this happens.  Bills get the best athlete with the highest upside in this draft.  Can he start in 2018, no, can he play in specific packages during games to add something else to game plan for, absolutely yes.

 

The secondary benefit with 6 QB's going first many top players will slip to our spot at 22.

 

With holes at MLB, OLB, WR, Interrior Offensive line, 3 technique DT, Slot Corner, OT and RB we have exactly 8 picks remaining.  

 

Lets use this draft wisely and fill our roster.

 

If it’s a QB in your scenario it will be Rudolph,not Jackson.

The Bills are not going to draft a QB Beane has not had extensive interviews with. He has said in numerous interviews how important that is. Sorry to burst your bubble, Jackson is not going to happen.

If it is between those two Rudolph will be the pick for sure.

We have a Lauletta type in Peterman. 

[jrober38]

6 QBs have never gone in round 1 let alone the top 16. 

 

The QB frenzy is officially out of control. 

[LabattBlue]

Maybe next we can hear about how all 6 will go in the first 6 spots.

A lot of historical draft data went out the window when the Rookie Wage Scale became a thing.

Have you watched any game film of Lamar Jackson.  Your post shows me you haven't.  Would you prefer Josh Allen?  Talk about not being ready to play.  Rosen and Darnold are out of our range due to the cost of moving up and the holes on the roster.

 

Mayfield is the wildcard, he could drop to 12, if it's a choice between the two I think the Bills would take Mayfield, I wouldn't but he has met with the Bills a number of times.

 

My bottom line is I'm not trading up, I need the picks to rebuild my roster to fill the holes we have.

Glad "you" don't have to trade up and can fill "your" roster. I hope the Bills DO tho!

It's never happened.

 

With most "big boards" have 2, maybe 3 QBs in their top 30 or even 50 players, the idea that 6 QBs are going to go in the first 32 picks seems far fetched. 

 

The second tier QBs aren't as good as people think. I think the QBs are generally going to go later than expected.

Can you point me to those? Nearly all of the boards I've seen have 3-4 in the top 15-32, with 5th and 6th squeaking into the top 50-64 range.

 

Also, the point I was making is that it is much more cost effective for teams now that the rookie salaries are dictated by draft slot than it used to be when you had to give up 3-4 picks and then fork over $100M to a QB who hasn't taken a snap yet.
