The extra 4th, 5th and 7th could help them get another pick in the 1st 3 rounds. Plus we will have more cap than talent. He made something out of nothing since the cap will have no serious impact.

billykay Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 16 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Both can be true, you know. The probability is against a 5th round pick becoming a solid starter, much less a star - something like 1 in 15or 1 in 20. But every year there are ~36-38 picks in the 5th round, so every year 1-2 players drafted in the 5th will turn out well or even become stars. The pick is an asset to be used to move up. We will not be drafting 10 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always statistical deviants but that is not predictable. The general assumption that a 5th will get you nothing is accurate, almost always. just fuel for trading the pick. stack and shed. it works when disciplined 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 47 minutes ago, Peter said: Given our offensive line, we need as many QBs as we can get our hands on. I hope we got something worth while because trading AJ is a big risk. I have very little confidence in either of our QBs being able to survive the season without getting some kind of injury.

Punching Bag Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 30 minutes ago, jlgarsh said: We must have set a record for dead cap space. It's like the early Snyder era Redskins, when they signed every free agent who was 35+ years old to a 5 year deal, only to cut them 8 months later. Snyder needed him for a big party he was throwing and it was only way to guarantee they were there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickpeterman showed enough to stick around for another year, but not start ahead of the 7th overall Pick at extraordinary cost I still think it’s Peterman. Allen was great week 2, but I think Peterman won the job fair and square from what I saw of him in preseason. He was consistently the best QB and produced with the 1’s, 2’s and 3’s. I think this just means that they have enough confidence in Allen to put him next in line. He was better than AJ so again, he earns the #2 spot fair and square. McDermott has taken many an opportunity to talk up Nate, too. Kind of reminds me of the way Rex took every chance to talk up Tyrod in 2015 before he won the starting job. Lorenzo Alexander even said he’d start Nate. So it seems that he has the backing of at least some of his veteran teammates. That is just my guess anyway. I may be way off base though. You may be right. It very well could be Allen day 1. Edit - plus as I’ve said all along, it’s much easier to go from Peterman to Allen than vise versa. You really only get 1 shot to start Allen (once he’s in, he’s in. Well most likely, anyway), so you better be sure.

MDH Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 3 minutes ago, BillsFan4 said: I still think it’s Peterman. I think it's Peterman too. The only reasoning I can think of not to name a starter yet is that they were dangling either Peterman or AJ in trade and whomever didn't get dealt would be the starter for the first 4-8 games before handing the reigns to the rook. If Allen was going to be the starter they could have announced it long ago, got him his reps and likely sold more tickets. Then again, what do I know. It's all just speculation.

tumaro02 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 All the best to McCarron. A few weeks ago he was getting half of the first team reps Allen should have been getting and now those reps vs the 1s D are lost. Funny, the fan polls a few weeks ago also wanted McCarron as the Week 1 starter. So fickle the fan, so lost McClown who had the audacity to say he was "absolutely" in the mix to start next week.
