Must be a smokescreen.  

 

I really want beane and mcD to be successful and stick with Buffalo, if this is true, bad news for their future. 

If we can't get to 2, and the Jets get their franchise guy at 3, it will be a bad look.  We should have went to three.  We had the ammunition.

 

I don't buy that the Colts didn't want to drop down that far.  We had the picks to make it worth it.

 

Hopefully it all works out and we land our guy- but I don't like how it is shaping up...

When did he say this, because what he is on record saying this week is that he is willing to trade back.

That weekend Ballard did say he was reluctant to move out of the top ten. He qualified that by saying he would consider it later if he got a good offer. This was shortly after the combine, so not really surprising.

I do not feel Brandon Beane has done a good job of calming the fan base when it comes to QBs.  With quotes like, “QB LEAGUE” or “Finding Franchise QB is GM #1 Job.”

 

If anything he is purposely not calmed it due to confidence that they will get a QB.

or

he has inadvertently not calmed it due to ignorance.

 

Dude - I don't think he cares about yours or my feelings right now one freaking iota - not one.  He could care less about how we mentally are blowing up and if anything he is laughing his ass off as he rightly should.  we will get what we get when we get it.  You don;t like it?  I don't like it - well too damn bad for us.  we have ZERO say in this.....ZERO, ZIP, NIL, NADA.

Trade up only if your guy is there and do not overpay.   I doubt that they like all four prospect equally.  I doubt that all will be star players. I trust McBeane to know and I hope they don’t reach.  Those picks could really bolster the team.  

 

Remember, we moved up to get Losman and traded our next years #1, the 20th pick.  That great move led to missing Aaron Rogers the next year, he went at 24.  

 

McCarron has the reigns and even if he plays poorly he should get at least 12 games.  There will be qb’s next year too.

They passed on Watson and Mahomes, traded players to acquire draft capital for an unusually deep draft for qb at the top.  It sure as hell is a failure if they get frozen out on a top qb prospect.

Or could be 4 Christian Ponders. Watson - was a major surprise, not a miss and Mahomes is an unknown.

Did I????  Or Did i call OBD a Failure?  For not being able yo finish their year long plan?

Name your QB if you had the first pick. $ where your mouth is and we will see in three years if you are right.

If they dont come away from Thursday without Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield (Maybe Allen). They failed. And Seat starts getting hot 

If they draft the wrong one seat will be even hotter. Loss of draft capital will set team back years.

I'm guessing it doesn't include the guy that has the interest of 3 playoff teams, two of whom have HoF QBs right now. Of course, we couldn't possibly use him and we HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO move up to get a guy that has health issues, which themselves are directly related to being a statue. 

More yards rushing and more rushing TDs than Saquon Barkley ... in fewer carries.

He said it when they made the trade with the Jets, no one on here wanted to listen to that though. Some are stuck on his "speak" of wanting to stay in the top 10....

 

“We’re still open. You know, we’ll still be open if an opportunity — the right opportunity — presents itself at (No.) 6 to move down,” Ballard said. “But right now we feel pretty good. It would have to be a pretty attractive offer for us to move away from (No.) 6 because the player we think we’re going to get.”

I don;t know for sure it depend on how it shakes out.. I assume One of the Big 3 Mayfield Darnold or Rosen.

 

Its not like I expect this to go down until about half way thru Denver's time on the clock if its to be.

 

 

I mean this whole not targeting #2 can also be the Bills releasing some info to see if the Giants blink

For Pete's sake the Giants an Broncos both need QB.  They will probably both take one.  But by all means waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

26 blitz needs to read this.

If Lamar Jackson wants to play running back for the Bills Id be all for it.  Get it done OBD.

But the Brancos have publicly put the pick up for sale so there's that... Unless this has changed?

Even though it sounded like they were going for the 5th or 6th QB since Beane had his first press conference, I agree with this. It might be the right thing to do, build the team, but I just don't know how you explain the Jets moving to three and you not drafting a top QB after you said that was your intent last year.

Don’t sell yourself so short.

 

its the quotes that sports figures make, which get used against them when things get bad.  That is why so many in sports say so little.  they only create more rope from which to hang themselves later.

 

Brandon Beane tells the world “getting a franchise QB is the GM #1 Job.”  So if he doesn’t do it...he has basically hung himself.

and should the team be bad in 2018...Brandon Beane will have failed to get a franchise QB, built one of the worst teams in the NFL and he will have admitted he failed as a GM.

 

these are the type of quotes fans and media use to bury a ownership under so much public pressure that they then feel compelled to make a personnel change.
