offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I coached a pretty talented college basketball player who's family is very close to Rudolph's family. There dads in fact played college football together. I asked him if today if he has heard about any interest the Bills might be showing Mason Rudolph and he didn't have anything to report. He then said to me that the Bucs have good information that the Bills are very high on Baker Mayfield. The reason he knows this is because he is also dating Dirk Koetter's daughter "head coach of the Bucs". I'm not sure if the Bills are discussing a trade with the Bucs and he didn't have that information either. Like I said, take this for what it is worth; just thought I would pass it along. 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Nothing against the OP whatsoever....but, I just don't think Mayfield is there at 7 if the idea is for the Bills to trade with the Bucs to get Mayfield. They will need to go much higher....probably....then again....maybe not. can it just be Thursday night already......not Thursday, because the torture will be the same....Thursday NIGHT.

maryland-bills-fan Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Are you worried that Mayfield is six foot tall? Other QB at 6' or under Drew Brees (extremely accurate and has 5 of the 9 5K yard season in the NFL ) (can he match this unique guy for accuracy?) R Wilson (4.55 in the forty versus 4.8 for Mayfield. For reference: Josh Sweat of Florida State 4.53 seconds. Marcus Davenport 4.58 seconds, dee Aruna came 4.60....4.8 is a typical time for a 295 pound DE) Can he run away from a DE? He is starting out with two things he has to prove, in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I find this at least semi-believable because OP would really have to think this out pretty well to make up this scenario haha.

gobills1212 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Well, if Beane is honest in that he wont tell a potential trade partner who he is after that kinda makes this a moot point. Thanks for the info though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, um ... yeah. That's his calling card. Accuracy. I'm not worried terribly about anybody's 40 yard time; it's about their 5 yard time, ability to reset his feet and make a throw and keep his head downfield. Point of the matter is, Mayfield was at his best under pressure. Brees' college numbers, for reference.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they contacted the Bucs. That is a sensible and I think their pick is the pivotal one between 6 an 10. They could easily move down, get a great running back and help to fill out the roster plus it wouldn't cost the Bills #22 to get there. As to whether or not they are interested in Mayfield ... I think I'd have a hard time believing Brandon Beane would be so foolish as to let on to another GM a specific name he might be interested in - especially so early in the game. I mean, he might say something, but it strikes me as disinformation. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
