^^ Great post right there. If either one of these guys was anywhere near a sure thing, we would have to trade up to get one of them

Saint, ALL have some weaknesses but this draft class across the board seems to have really glaring weaknesses. The #1 that all of them seem to have is inconsistancy. I have seen all I want out of that with Fitz. All of them seem to dissapear at times and it seems to be the worst time that they do it. I watched the first Sunday of the combine and watched Mayock just go nuts on each one talking about how they would dissapear in games, start screwing the pooch at the worst time etc. This is the NFL, ALL THE TIME is big time, you can't dissapear or be inconsistant to the point these guys are and succeed. But we have to pull the trigger in this draft and give someone a shot, Fitz is not the answer and neither is TJack. I am just not sure with the OL, LB and even DB talent, I just would have a hard time as a GM passing on that quality talent at #8 for a maybe at QB. I would move back into the late first to grab a QB. But then again... That is odds are why I am not an NFL GM Right? :-)

My guy has got to be cool in the pocket, tough, a good leader. He has to be able to read a defense and deliver the ball to his playmakers and WIN! Dont' care if he can run the option or not, read the D, disect them and deliver the dang football.

St. Louis is letting him go because they know he isn't starting material any longer and needs to share the load. He wants to start and wants starters money, he wouldn't be happy splitting time behind our starter CJ spiller.

Pass.

Oh I get where you are coming from. The devil you know reference is to Nassib and our new HC and OC. It would possibly make the easiest transition I would presume. That said it is possible this class has some quality starters, but who knows. What bothers me is all have clear cut issues which is uncommon for the class across the board. Fans get names stuck in their heads Geno Smith is #1. All over the board its a Smith love fest and they ignore clear problems this kid has. Now some staffs like Pittsburgh, Baltimore, San Fran, NE etc can play to a kids strengths and work on his weaknesses, but to take a page from your post tone, I don't trust the Buffalo staff to be able to do that. Either way I don't trust Buddy Nix. I don't feel the man can evaluate QB talent at all and out of blind stupidity..errrr... loyalty Brandon kept him when I feel he should have let him go as soon as the other staff was let go. Our only hope is that Whaley is really going to run this draft and he can evaluate talent. I pray all this time he has had little to no say and his time around the Pittsburgh evaluators has paid off. Personally I think we are sitting here talking the same stuff with the same draft area 3 years from now and the organization has shown me no reason to think otherwise.

LOL so they just made it legal to do what they have done all these years? I mean Marrio just jumped on a plane to Buffalo of all places 'Just because' right? :-)

NFLN said teams can start negotiating today with free agents but the deal can't be completed until FA Starts Tuesday. They said its like the NBA's 'soft free agency'. Anyone else hear of this?

We will go some other position at #8 or trade down, then trade back up for Nassib. With all things being equal the kid has upside and knows the offense we will be installing. Better to go with the devil you know than the one you don't.

Straight from the guy that said Blaine Gabbert had the best pro day ever...like throughout time... and was going to be the best QB of that draft class...

I gotta say no. Nix has said we won't do anything on the first couple of days. We will get two mid Tier LB's and a mid tier WR then go draft. Hopefully this will be the year those mid tier guys can actually perform well as they will fit our systems. I see what you did there :-)

More sissification of the NFL

I wonder what he could do if he had a good QB getting him the ball downfield?

We need to cut him before we pay him that bonus. We are not going to tip our hand by cutting him, everyone in the NFL knows we haven't had a QB since 1996 and we are taking one in this draft.

We are starting year 4 of the 3 year plan...

Further proof Nix needs to go. I have ZERO faith in him being able to evaluate QB talent which means we will obviously reach for the wrong guy

I wish he had done it 3-4 years ago and saved us a ton of time and cap space.

He didn't lose his job, they went with the shiny new toy. Alex had his team in the superbowl last year if not for an rtard on special teams. 70% completion %? Did you see why its 70%. Go back and look at how many of his passes are within 5 yards of the LOS or BEHIND it. So you are saying you want to draft Trent Edwards aka 'Captain Checkdown' II? Mayock broke this guy down as the most frustrating guy in the Draft. Wide open TD's missed all year long. Yeah if getting a guy who can in the NFL lead the QB rankings, get his team to the conference championship and only toss 10 INTS's in 2 years is a bad thing sign me up.

Only Bills fans would want to lose out on a guy that in the last couple of years has turned the corner and had success vs. a guy who has done nothing in the NFL with very serious consistancy issues. And Many wonder why the Bills continue to stink?

Because that has worked great so far right?

It would NEVER happen with our lack of QB's. Nix screwed us hard by not addressing QB already. And YES even though many Bills fans think he sucks, Alex Smith is a huge upgrade over Fitz. Wallace is going to be greatly overpaid by Miami.

But wasn't Stevie going to talk him into coming to Buffalo....

Congrats Lord Vader

Yeah one...again the number is one. Buddy flat out said we weren't going to jump in till day 2-3 and those guys will be flown in and wined and dined on day one. AND they will demand as much or more money than Stevie gets paid. Look at someone like Danny Amadala (sp) maybe. That is the type of pay and WR Nix will bring in. No way in hell he brings in a top 'Name' WR and signs him. Also why would any good WR sign with Buffalo? We don't have a QB worth a damn. EVERYONE knows Fitz can't hit the deep ball for crap. There won't be any top WR's coming to Buffalo till QB is addressed.

Barkley has a gun. Geno gets sacked more but is more mobile = worse decision making. Also Geno does his best Fitz impersonation short hopping throws or under/ over throwing wide open WR's. I go barkley over Geno
