EmotionallyUnstable

When you have two quarterbacks, you don't have a quarterback. I think creating media circus is the exact opposite of what Beane is trying to do. This is exactly why I believe they avoided, or chose, not to afreesively persue a guy like Bradford or Keenum. If the move up and get a QB, they are all in on him. The last thing they'd want to do is create an even more difficult environment for him to succeed by cutting his reps

This is a very premature statement. We have a new offensive coordinator, yet out offense will have similar productivity. I agree they need to improve at WR, but there are many other influential factors at play. Here are a few: 1) new offensive system 2) new QB 3) a presumably health K Benjamin These are the major ones but there are more. I would withhold labeling our offensive until we can get a more complete picture of what it's finished product will be

See, I think he was more of a slash and gash type of guy. Build-your-own Jills?

Doesn't fit the particular skill set the bills lack at WR. Age catching up to him, rather take a stab at a rookie

Anyone arguing their beliefs are more than speculation are ridiculous. That being said, everyone is here because we love the bills, like discussing them and speculation is the entertainment this time of year. I'm sure there are many knowledgeable posters on the board. In fact, many have proven their worth. But it is clear we are really all just guessing because you are right, that we don't know the inside of any organization. But don't be a grump and piss on everyone's parade.

Good post. I see your thought process. However, Im not sure I would agree on this. Beane clearly is moving picks/players to gain draft capital this year and spending money next year. I think he is fully prepared to sacrifice this years first rounders and 2019s first to get their guy (who I’m starting to think is Rosen). This move leaves them with second and third round talents to add a couple starters, and depth at the least. These moves also allows them to be extremely aggressive in FA 2019 to make up for the lost first rounder. These guys seem prepared for this, even with the Jets move. I’ve got to imagine they were anticipating, or aware, that a QB needy team was looking to move up and have a contingency plan that allows them to still follow through on their plan. But who knows, apparently we don't know squat!

Matthews is suited for the slot, as well. He isn’t the perimeter receiver they need to stretch the field.

Is that such a bad thing? Four years of good play?

Totally expect to see him today celebrating Patty's day at Doc Sullivan's

He chose a great weekend to visit. Have fun and be safe out there, everyone!

Buffalo???? thanks

As much as I've liked Darnold, his NFL readiness worries me. Starting to lean Team Rosen

I'm surprised there isn't more media attention to this

Anything yet?

Anyone else think this move opens up the possibility of taking a QB at 22 or later and using 12 on a defender?

Any contract details other than 2 years? Nvm

Nice

Drafting a rookie is like buying a new car. As soon as it leaves the lot, it depreciates in value.

That might actually be a great spot for him. Lots of quick hitters in the WCO will get him the ball fast

We won't stay at 12. As previously discussed by other members, it is believed that 12, 22 and 65 can get you into the top 5. That would be tremendous, allowing retention of picks this year and not having to mortgage the future

Gross, no way imo

No way. They are looking tier two FA and a highly touted rookie QB. Think we can put the Foles chatter to bed

I was arguing the same thing.

When you have three quarterbacks, you don't have one quarterback. MN likely wants to move on with a single signal called, remove any hypotheticals or "what if we would haves" they are built to win now, with so many tremendous defensive players, many still on rookie deals

Niners IMO - established QB situation - tremendous cap room - keeps him in California - need for a number one WR
