3, possibly 4 QBs taken in the 1st rd before the Bills pick?

Now THAT is something to think about!

 

This is an unpopular thing to say but I wouldn't draft Bosa if he slid to us at 9.

Stranger things have happened, but I believe consensus from the rumor mill is the only 2 QBs that are likely to go in the top 10 are Haskins and Murray

[Zerovoltz]

Pigging backing on some of the other comments here...

 

Murray is going 1/1...that's been apparent for a long time.  And he should.  he is the one blue chip prospect in this draft.

 

Keep in mind, this is supposed to be a very very good defensive draft....and lots of teams have settled their QB situations....

 

As Alphadawg mentioned..if paying attention the Broncos...you'd understand that Flacco is their QB...Elway says he's "entering his prime" and that they gave Flacco assurances they wouldn't be taking a QB high this year....they hired a 60 year old, defensive minded coach.  That guy doesn't have the skill set nor the time to develop a rookie.  EVERYTHING they've done this offseason is about NOT taking a QB at 10.

 

It would appear Dave Gettleman has doubled and trippled down on Eli Manning....and I can't see them using pick 6 on a QB either...not this draft...not on these prospects.

 

Miami just signed Fitz....I believe that did that with every intention of starting him this year while they see what develops next year.  

 

My personal evaluation of this draft class is that Murray will be a start.  Haskins isn't that good.  Lock is going to be a bust...and even as I know that QB's are usually climbing up draft boards this time of year...I actually think Haskins and Lock are going to slide quite a bit.  Jones too.  

 

Given the depth of defensive talent...and the lack of legit prospects at QB...along with most teams having a guy...I can see ONE QB being gone by the time the Bills select.  I think the Redskins are truly the one team that will take a shot at Haskins or Lock.  If both are there when they pick, it will probalby be Haskins.

 

My thoughts on the class

 

Muarry = STAR

Haskins = could be ok in the right spot...he'd need talent around him....and even then, I just don't see it happening.

Lock = I am a HUGE Missouri Fan...and even I think Lock is going to be an NFL bust.  his 40 speed does NOT translate to the football field.  He doesn't make anticpation throws at all....his strength is deeper routes over the middle...he SUCKS..and sucks hard at anything outside the numbers...the deeper it is, the worse it is.  Good gritty college QB....not an NFL QB in my opinion.

 

Jones, Thorson....etc...5th round or later project types who'll never amount to anything.

 

The ONE other guy in this class who I think would be a good NFL QB is Grier.  He is UNDERATED...and some team will get him a bit later, and have a gem on their hands...he gets in the right spot and he'll make this a two QB class. He is the guy the Redskins should take but won't.  Cincinnatti should be all over this kid in round 2.

Some interesting thoughts here, Zerovoltz. Thanks for the post.

 

Do you think Will Grier is a system QB? He looked good all season, but does Holgorson's system make him look good? He is never mentioned among the top 5 QB prospects, but Daniel Jones usually is.

[transplantbillsfan]

Based on this class and the talk of it, I'm a bit surprised there are even 1 or 2 being talked about in the top 10.

Murray and Haskins WILL go before 9.

 

Anyone else would be a huge surprise, but crazier things have happened. Just because a "class" isn't highly touted doesn't mean it's not going to bear fruit.

 

2017 was considered weak. How'd that work out? 

 

2017 was only considered weak by a few talking heads. It was always a good class. 

 

I don't think the 2019 class is as good as the 2017 class, but at least with Murray's about turn and Haskins arrival on the scene it has some genuine early round prospects. At one point mid season it looked like the 2013 class all over again. 

 

It looks like Murray is going #1, Haskins may or may not go top 10. If any of the others go in the 1st it is a major reach. 

[CSBill]

Do you see either Miami, Washington, or Cincinnati wanting to swap picks with the Bills? If that were to happen, we would get another pick somewhere.

Murray goes 1.  If Giants trade for Rosen, chance there could be bidding war for Haskins at #9 before the Broncos pick.  Can’t imagine Elway passing on Haskins.  I could see Raiders coming up to pick 9 if Haskins is still there.  

i can see the giants trading for rosen and not giving up their 1st rounder.  i think they go oline there. ie. jonah williams. that leaves haskins sliding our way.

 

as far as the jets, i think greggo the ahole will end up with josh allen. so...

1. murray

2. bosa

3.allen

4.q.williams

5.bucs?

6.jonah williams

7.jags?  dk?

8. greedy williams

9.oliver or trade with cincy. / atl. / wash. / chucky....who knows?

one thing i do know for sure is that mcfo will do something that i never would have seen coming.

if they do trade down i hope they concentrate on rushers  x2   sweat and ximines. maybe they like a 3 tech in rd. 3 or 4....or maybe they stay put and take oliver.

i myself would probably rather have oaklands later 1st rd picks with a swap of 2nds, but like i said, i'll just expect the unexpected.

 

i do however believe at pick 9 the phone will be blowing up.

Ideally Lock gets picked at #9

@CuddyDark may have something to say about that. Never say never.

[machine gun kelly]

There is just no way to know.  The guess on 2 is likely, then just a matter of how desperate some teams get to stretch on a QB.  The counter though is pass rushers.  Everyone always wants one and there are several in this draft.

 

One part I agree is we will have a talent at 9 or even 11 if we trade back.

Well they are picking at 3, so they are by default going to get a highly skilled player. For some reason, an pass rush specialist scares me more than a DT. Edge rushers is a more highly rated position. 

Except Aaron Donald was the most disruptive  defensive lineman last season. It’s not about position but impact. Position really doesn’t matter at the line, what the player brings to the table does.

I think technically they are. Both are likely to go higher than they should. But they are normal QB reaches. You take a guy who might be the 16th or 17th best player in the draft at #1 because he is a Quarterback. It is the Trubisky reach. 

 

Taking Lock or Jones or anyone else in this class in the first round is an EJ Manuel reach.

Please, please, please let this happen. Throw in an OT and we’d be sitting real pretty

I presume you mean in a trade down for Buffalo.  Assuming that, I agree.  Of course, the ongoing buzz has been that John Elway likes Lock for Denver at #10.  If there is some GM of a team below Denver who likes him, he is being really quiet about it.  Buffalo would be in a good spot to take advantage on draft day.  That trade won't happen before, because that would give Denver the chance to trump that GM's move.

After the holdout his brother staged at the front of his first year, staged by the father it was reported, drafting another BOSA has downside not discussed on this board.  Some folks just aren't worth  dealing with in this world.  That family is one.....despite their on field capabilities.

I like the idea of being able to pick up an additional 2nd depending on how far back we might move.

With the Raiders and Gruden at 4 anything is possible.

 

I do tend to think the Giants really want Haskins but might be elbowed out.  If Murray goes 1 and the Niners aren't willing to take 6 + whatever to pass on Bosa or Williams, the Jets refusing to deal with the Giants and taking whoever is left from Bosa / Williams or Allen and the Raiders taking Haskins at 4.  If one of Denver / Miami / Washington / maybe even Cincy falls in love with Lock or even Jones, Tampa at #5 could be a really hot trade spot with someone looking to jump the Giants.

After last year’s run on QBs in last year’s draft and several teams this year with QB needs I would not be the least bit surprised if as many as 4 QBs are taken before the Bills pick at #9.

 

If there’s any truth to the Cardinals taking Murray with the 1st overall pick then I could see the Giants and the Raiders jumping on Haskins. Don’t kid yourself, Gruden has always been QB happy. He likes to collect them like I use to collect match box cars when I was a kid. Here’s a guy that traded us a 5th rder for McCarron. To take it further he still has Peterman on the roster! 

 

Denver/Elway has been heavily linked to Lock for quite some time now. Once there’s a couple of QBs taken in the first few picks don’t be surprise to see an avalanche on the last 1 or 2 QBs to be taken earlier then expected. Elway trades up just to insure that he gets his man.

 

The 4th potential QB that could be Duke’s Daniel Jones. The Bengals pick at #11 and it’s no secret that the Dolphins are in the QB market as well and they pick at #13. One of them might want to make sure that the other doesn’t beat them for  a QB. Jones has been tutored by David Cutcliffe and Cutcliffe has raved about the 3 year starter. For those who don’t realize who he is he is the guy that mentored both Mannings, Heath Shuler and others. They call him the QB whisperer. 

 

I hope that all of this happens, it will create a great player slide and we just might be in position to grab someone that we never thought would be possible.

 

You're getting better.  Here's a tip for you:  If you do too many, too quickly, you'll expose yourself.  Timing is everything.  This is a good one.  Just a little too soon after the last one.

 

Troll on, my friend.

[st pete gogolak]

A mock I saw today had Bills trading down with Miami (to #13) so Miami could pick a QB.  Would you trade down with a division rival?  If you thought that the division rival was going to reach and pick a QB who isn't worth the #9 spot, I guess the answer is yes.  FYI, they had us picking Rashan Gary followed by the Falcons picking Oliver.  If we pick up a second, I could live with #13.

In this draft, most certainly. Especially if the two QBs they will be choosing from are Lock or Jones. I will happily take a 2nd so you can choose your likely bust of a QB 4 spots higher. Might even push to make it a 2020 2nd. They should be absolutely terrible next season. 

[IgotBILLStopay]

I agree that there can be a run on QBs early. I dont think 4 will go in the top 8 though. That means trade down opportunities for us with teams wanting to get ahead of Denver.

In 2011 the NFL teams couldnt sign anyone in FA before the draft. Teams needed to make sure thay had someone who could play QB when the season started. I thought a few QBs went earlier in that draft that shouldnt have because of that. 

 

Locker most notably but Gabbert and Ponder as well
