RPbillsfan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The draft board is shaping up and it looks as though the Bills can lock down a top 5 pick with a loss next Sunday to the 3-6 NY Jets. Its gonna be tough to out-suck the Raiders and the Giants are pretty putrid too. The Cardinals smell of rotting garbage and the 49ers are perking up with an unknown free agent QB so they could get a couple of more wins. The Browns are a grease fire ? and could easily lose out. The Cardinals do play the Raiders in what may be the worst game on the NFL schedule this year. So, I'm hoping we can fall no lower then the 3rd pick in the draft, but sadly we will get Allen back after the bye and with home games against the Jags, Lions, Jets and Dolphins we could stumble into a couple of worthless victories. Maybe we should put Allen on IR, promote "Nate the great" to starter for the rest of the year in hopes of a historical inept performance on offense leading the team to a draft improving 2-14 record to truly start the rebuild. 3 1 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 As long as Allen does not play, I don't think we are capable of winning a football game. If he does play, he will have some rust to shake off and he's still pretty terrible anyway. We're looking at a solid top 3 pick IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKellyTryouts Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 People do realize that this draft is loaded with DL talent (aka what we're not looking for) and very few guys worthy of top 10 picks on offense (aka what we need)? All the other teams mentioned above except for Arizona will more than likely be taking defense so we probably won't have to compete with other teams for OT Jonah Williams or whichever WR we'd want to grab. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's the way to find good in all the misery of this season. Lets go back to 1984. One of the worst seasons in Bills history, Kelly still playing in the USFL, Knox walking away due to issues with Ralph. The AFC East title in 1980 and playoff birth in 1981 were distant memories. Bruce Matheson at QB. That horrific season ended with the Bills with a lot of picks of which they turned into Hall of Fame DE Bruce Smith, Hall of Fame WR Andre Reed and quality back-up QB Frank Reich. The demise of the USFL led to many more quality additions and a not so disimilar situation in having 91 Million in cap space is nearing. Meaningless wins in this lost season so nothing to help the future, the critical loss of one spot in the draft cost the Bills the opportunity to get LB Patrick Willis and later Luke Keachly. I want to lose out to get the best player available regardless of position, then supplement free agency with picks for defined need. History should teach us that it's easier to rise to the top after you have sunk to the bottom. Comments are welcome of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I looked at the Jets message boards and there were some threads there hoping they will lose to the Bills, in the hopes that Bowles will get fired. Many Jet fans are even giving props to our Defense saying as long as Peterman doesn’t throw his usual pick 6s Bills win. Pretty funny I bet at least a quarter of Bills and Jets fans will be rooting for the other team Sunday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills Blog Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I guarantee that we will pass on a quarterback in the upcoming draft because of Allen.
