If they are going with only 2 LBs then we need to find someone better than P.Brown to be one of them. He is flat out terrible. Always going to the wrong hole, can't shed blocks, average at best tackler who was made to look a fool on a weekly basis last year in the running game. His instincts are just horrendous.

BBMB newcomers, meet Howard. And wait till you meet his wife!

Point being is you have to continuously take shots on finding a franchise QB every year until you hit on one. Cardale is not one. Tyrod is not one. Law of averages says the more QBs we pick, the better the chance of finding one. It's not rocket surgery. Trubisky, Watson, Mahomes, Kelly, Peterman, Kizer, all have a better chance of being a top QB than Cardale and Tyrod do. Cardale is not progressing at all and Tyrod is what he is at this point, a guy that may get us to the playoffs but no further IMO.

There are at least 5 QBs who are obviously better than Cardale in this draft. Probably more.

I would have no problem at all if we cut Cardale tomorrow. He is terrible. He was not good at Ohio State, he was not good last pre-season, and he was atrocious in week 17. You cannot correct such horrible accuracy issues. I'm sorry, but you can't. Cut him and draft a guy that you actually have a chance to develop, not some guy who's only attribute is a huge arm.

No reason he should not have been kept for depth at the very least. You telling me we are going to lose Gilmore and Robey-Coleman and we are going to have 5 or 6 CBs on our roster next year better than him? I don't think so.

You can really say this about any position. The thing is, good franchises aren't usually drafting in the top 10 enough to have multiple players at the same position taken. Unfortunately, we are not in that boat.

I'd be willing to guess that 95%+ of the people on this board who say "tank for Darnold" have not watched more than 2 of his games. Just sheep following the herd. As was mentioned earlier, pretty much every year next year's QB class will be better...until they are not. While Darnold is good, he is no Luck, Manning, Elway type can't miss prospect (and Manning may not have been either). It's useless to intentionally tank in football unless you have that level of QB prospect. There is just too much uncertainty in wins/losses as well as in the draft. As for the OP, there is no chance any of those guys is going to achieve the main goal, winning the Super Bowl. So no, it's not worth it to kick those tires IMO.

Preston Brown is a run stuffer???? That is the funniest thing I've read here in a long while. He is the worst run defending MLB that I have ever seen.

Perhaps the best CB of all time, Mr. Primetime, was quite possibly the worst tackling defender the league has ever seen. In a pass happy league where all the rules favor the offense, letting a high quality CB walk because he missed a few tackles in his contract year is not a smart move at all.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you seriously saying that Fred Jackson is a better RB than LeSean McCoy? You, sir, are delusional.

People still write "LOL"?

If you don't think Watson is a good leader then you have not been paying attention at all to his college career. His teammates and coaches rave about him, his work ethic, leadership skills. He has not had any off field issues at all and is polished and articulate in interviews. A tweet is what turns you off? Give me a break. He is a completely different person than Winston, Manziel, and Kelly and all of their legitimate off field concerns.

Projecting S.O.S. a year ahead of time is just about as useless as doing a mock draft a year ahead of time.

Right, should have specified bonus guaranteed money.

When you trade a player you are hit with a cap penalty equal to the remaining guaranteed money on their deal. So, unless you get him to restructure for little to no guaranteed money (which he would never do), the Bills would not be able to absorb the cap penalty of trading him.

Watson will be a successful NFL franchise QB. Mark it down.

What about the rest of the league that he absolutely dominates as well? Time to face the fact that the guy is an amazing player, clearly the best of all time, who is smarter, more clutch, more dependable, and a better leader than any other QB in the history of the league.

So sorry for your loss.

Dude gets fired after 2 years of a 5 year contract with a 15-16 record despite huge injury issues and he is supposed to be happy about it? Give me a break. I don't blame him one bit for what he said and most of it is true! He should have never been hired or given a fair chance. He was undermined almost immediately from the inside.

That he had to sniff an ammonia cap and he said the first half was kind of a blur. Sounds like by today's standards he would have been diagnosed with a concussion and they would have been forced to play Matt Cavanaugh. Would it have made a difference? I suspect it may have.

Anyone who watched any FSU games while EJ was QB and compares him to Watson's performances at Clemson is completely blind or has zero knowledge of football.

Luck was a once in a generational prospect. RG3 wasn't even on the radar the year before he blew up. Remember when Conner Cook was going to be #1 overall? Or Teddy Bridgewater? While Darnold had a great year, he is not the prospect that Luck was, at this point at least, and could easily fall off before he comes out.

Almost every single year "next year's" class is going to be better.

There are always outliers, but for the most part good teams win close games. Good teams have good QBs who can get you that game winning drive. Good teams have good coaches who can manage the clock and allow that drive to take place. Good teams have fewer stupid key penalties which keep the opposition in the game.
