Wayne Arnold

They redeemed themselves with the Peterman pick. I'm all in! I tried to delete this thread but for some reason you're not allowed to delete your own threads on this forum? That doesn't seem right.

Terrific pick. I know arm strength is an issue but accuracy is more important and something you can't teach. And Peterman is an accurate passer. Peterman was 8th in the nation in passer rating. That was better than all of the quarterbacks drafted this year, including Trubisky, Mahomes and Watson. Even better than Darnold that people rave about. I watched Peterman shred my Orangemen in November. Great character as well. If he's not a total bust in training camp then I hope we try Cardale at Tight End. I wouldn't be shocked to see Peterman earn the backup job over Yates and give Tyrod a run for his money in 2018.

Yeah, I'm sure the Bills couldn't have used those extra fifth rounders to grab, say, a running back like Jeremy McNichols or any player to fill one of the countless holes on this team. Nah, who needs prospects and depth? Injuries don't happen to starters in the NFL. By the logic of many in this thread the smart thing to do is to trade all picks from the fourth through seventh rounds in order to trade up in the first three rounds. Those draft picks are useless anyway. Right?

Dak Prescott Yep, crap shoot. I stand by my statement.

I loved Day 1. Hated Day 2. I guess it all evens out.

Just won a fifth Super Bowl title and is about to go 19-0. Yeah, doesn't have a clue. lol

But they don't have to give away draft picks to "stay true to their board." Those things are not mutually exclusive. It's just ego. They think their board is superior than everyone else's. And their guy is coveted by everyone so they panic and trade up when they probably could have gotten those players if they had stayed put. And if the player is taken - so what? When it's time to pick, choose the next best player. They get it in their heads that their guy is a sure-fire lock to be an instant contributor and a franchise player for years to come. Tunnel vision. They keep repeating the same mistakes year after year after year. TJ Graham, Sammy Watkins, Reggie Ragland, etc. It's mind-boggling.

They traded a third round pick for a fifth round pick. Simply because they thought other teams wanted their guy. Even though he had a third round grade by most publications. Bills picked up what "may very well" be three starters. But they should have picked up what "may very well" be four starters. Last I checked, 4 > 3

You have no idea if that is true or not.

They gave up two draft picks and reduced a third to a fifth. That's what I'm "bitching" about. Is this a difficult concept? Did some of you posters have that lobotomy performed as well?

Actually McDermott started out as a scout. I'd rather he be making draft choices than Whaley. We already know Whaley sucks. At least McDermott is an unknown.

But my opinion is more important.

they get all Billsy on Day 2. I was so proud and excited that the Bills traded down from 10 to add more draft picks - including a first-rounder in 2018. The smart teams know that the NFL Draft is a crapshoot of massive proportion - and the only solution is to accumulate as many picks as possible to increase odds that the players you draft are good. Then let them battle it out in training camp. But no. They trade up and give up picks NOT ONCE...BUT TWICE. No one wastes draft picks like the Buffalo Bills. They simply cannot help themselves. They get tunnel vision on one player and are so damn paranoid that others value their guy like they do (ego) that they shoot themselves in the foot by giving away valuable picks. It's absurd how perennially dumb our organization is. It's as if each person who is hired by the Bills gets a lobotomy on their first day as employees. It's the most realistic explanation I can come up with.

I thought this was about the fact that Tre'Davious was valedictorian of his class in high school.

1. Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU 2. Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin 3. Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama Foster is damaged goods. He's not going in the first round. He may not even go in the 2nd.

TRADE BACK! TRADE BACK! TRADE BACK! The draft is a complete and total crapshoot. Pure luck. The best way to achieve success via the draft is to increase your odds by accumulating as many picks as you can. The best thing the Bills can do tonight is to trade back at least once, maybe even twice. That's what I'm rooting for tonight.

Isn't there medication for this? I'm expecting the medical advancements to catch up soon.

Never made a Goodwin comparison. I see a guy who finished only 26th in the nation in receiving yards and 152nd in yards per reception and we're supposed to be happy to see the Bills spend a Top 10 pick on him because he succeeds in running a 40 yard dash. Reminds me of Darrius Heyward-Bey. How'd that work out for the Raiders?

If the Bills choose ROss tonight I'm going to burn all of my Bills memorabilia and declare allegiance to the Patriots.

"Don't shoot! lol"

So knowing who this privileged old man with no perspective is is a perquisite for being considered a knowledgeable Bills fan? Interesting viewpoint.

What a strange "news" story. Why should we care about some millionaire who thinks the NFL should schedule around his personal vacations? Not to mention it is horribly written. It took me forever to figure out who the hell this guy even is.

He's not even a Top 30 player according to NFL.com. It sure would be Billsy to take him 10 overall.
