Eleven Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 A day 1 qb is a must. If they don't work, take another one next year. They're going to take one in the first round; that's not in doubt. Whether they trade up to do it is another story. 3) Announcing the pick before the draft gives the player too much time to flee the country. This was masterful.

Brawndo Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Another odd footnote of the Bills drafting QBs in the First Round, out of Kelly, Losman and EJ, EJ was the only one selected with their first pick in the draft. Tony Hunter a TE was drafted prior to Kelly and Lee Evans prior to JP Losman Of note Tom Donahue did attempt to trade up in front of Pittsburgh to get Big Ben but was unsuccessful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Justin Fields. That's right Georgia is so competitive we recruited another 5star QB to compete with the guy who just took us to a Natty. We shall see on Saturday. It seems unlikely given Fromm's skills but Fields is a an athlete. He runs, throws, he can do it all. The thing is this year you could see Fromm progress to making play changes at the line. Something he did very sparingly last year. Fromm should also throw more without Sony and Chubb in the backfield although we still have White, Holyfield, and of course Swift so they will take carries just as well. (White probably starts the year on IR as he is injured). You forgot freshman running back James Cook. No Fromm is not going to lose his job. He throws the out pattern better then most NFL qb’s. Fields will play. It will be interesting to see how Smart utilizes him. Don’t be surprised if Fields is used in the wildcat and in the read option. My niece is a classmate of Fields at Harrison and he was in many of her AP and Honors classes. The kid is seriously smart. My niece would know. She is going to GA Tech in the fall on an academic scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They traded down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Kelly (14), Losman (22), and EJ (16): Only 3 times the Bills have ever selected a QB in the 1st round https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/draft.htm Twice traded 1st round picks for QBs during that timeframe.

That Aud Smell Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) So are you taking my bet?Sorry. I don’t generally play those reindeer games. I’ll bet you 50 internet points. Taylor was an asset that only certain teams would be interested in. They turned him into a draft pick that more teams would be interested in. You open up new trade avenues that didn't previously exist. Personally, I'm like you and wish they'd have the solution in house before making the move, but that's not a luxury you always have.Perfectly stated, imo.

WildCard Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 The draft needs to end already. I've heard every single possible take of these Qbs at this point, along with every trade scenario and useless mock draft. So burnt out. They never should have pushed it back so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Would the Bills be wise to avoid the QB feeding frenzy and let the draft come to them? My instinct is to see what happens, but the odds say Jackson or Rudolph could end up just as good as the guys drafted ahead of them. Frankly if Mayfield somehow slips to 12 or even 10 grab him. Otherwise wait to 22 to take Jackson or Rudolph Edited April 18, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Fred Jackson will be signing a 1 Day contract to retire a Bill. Supposedly streamed live on Facebook at 1:30 today. That’s a man that deserved a playoff game in Buffalo. I’m happy he got a few touches in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 You just want them to take Roquan at 12 ;) I give so few f*cks about the quarterback stuff that I wouldn't even be mad if they took Roquan and Chubb both in the first round.

GASabresIUFAN Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) You just want them to take Roquan at 12 ;) We could certainly use him, Wynn and Carter. Michel also for that matter.

inkman Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Why hasn't CLE announced who they're picking 1st yet? Doesn't that usually happen by now?I'm not sure how old you are but that is a relatively new thing, one I don't forsee continuing. I don't know what tactical advantage it gives you to do so. What if a team came to you afterwards and offered 5 first round picks for this year's? Or something ridiculous to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
