How can Cleveland draft a quarterback overall at 1, and expect to retain said player (if they become a franchise guy), Myles Garrett, and whomever is BPA at 4? Maybe they are the most logical trade partner?

Those who are enamored have a pretty conservative idea of what elite traits entail. If your accuracy stinks in college, your odds of immediately improving it in the NFL where the throwing windows are tighter are insanely low. Like EJ, dude will be an overthrow machine. He seems like the kind of prospect that could benefit from years of backup duty, like EJ or Keenum, before emerging as a starter for the team that did not initially draft him. We would have been better off just taki g Mahomes last year.

If Peterman starts next year, this team might win 3 games, the coaching staff will lose the lockerroom and potentially get fired, and all of his supporters will, more likely than not, turn on him rather quickly. The live game is way too fast for him, at this point in his development, and his throwing windows close to quickly due to his lack of arm strength. His ceiling isn't high, and he still needs time to develop. Hence the impatience with those who want to see him developed.

So your basically saying that he should risk a career ending injury to try to appease you, who doesnt like him and still wants him gone. Do you realize how entitled and ridiculous that sounds.Not to mention it being an awful gameplan. Jacksonville has got some heavy hitters who will be trying to knock him out of the game, and If he gets hurt the season is effectively over.

1st Bills QB to make the playoffs since 99 and people are still calling for his head. Sad, so sad.

To all all the Tyrod haters in the house, he's now a Playoff caliber QB!!!!

Trapasso's mocks are laughable. I wouldn't put much stalk in his predictions.

If you fancy yourself an internet sleuth, with the capability to diagnose injuries based on twitter information, take the act somewhere else. No one cares.

If you think its fair to challenge the credibility of a poster based on comparable medical observations that you have made over the internet, your clearly over estimating the importance of your opinions.

Because so many people take the time to offer lists of what sounds like the opinions of some inside and organization, just so they can be attacked by people like you. Anyone who knows anything about concussions knows that they are one of the most difficult things to diagnose, and that recovery times are some of the most difficult things to predict. You have zero evidence by which to make such a statement, and I could care less about your armchair opinions. Your the one looking for attention, so if you don't have anything constructive to offer to the conversation, share your medical opinions with someone else.

Asking for respect isn't something that fans of the same team who want to discuss that team should have to do. There are some bad seeds on this board who seem to get off on insulting people whose opinions don't meet their narrow idea of what football should be. They are the problem, not the poster.

Absolutely. People in organizations also have different opinions, and they often have to play politics to protect their jobs, so anyone assuming that the information passed on has to be 100 percent correct or else the poster is faking it has, more likely than not, never worked in a large, professional organization before, where rumors about management decisions circulate regularly. Good boards moderate such behavior and ban such comments, as they really hurt the fan community as a whole. I really, truly could give a crap if you think someone's inside information sounds false or not.

League parity, luck (especially with the early turnover differential), and yes a new scheme with a lack of tape. However, it should be pointed out that they might end losing just as much as they were expected to in the end, primarily due to the rosters glaring lack of depth. I could be wrong, but I recall a lot of commentators having them in the 6 to 8 win range with McCoy being cited as the main talent that would keep them out of the basement.

It will likely be 3 1sts if your offering this year, next year, and the year after. 2 1sts; 1 second; and 1 3rd or 4th this year should be enough. A 2 and a 3 this year is probably worth more than a 1 next year, although it depends on how deep the trading partner thinks the draft is.

Yeah, not this year. There will be plenty of opportunities to trade back in the future. In three years, when this draft class starts to reach their potential, Brady, Rothlisberger, and Breeze could all be gone, and Rodgers, Ryan, and Flacco will be nearing the end of their careers. There is way to much to gain from moving up to grab someone who will still be on a rookie contract at that time to not try.

Plus if you like the 4th or 5th guy, he will likely be on other team's radars as well. Teams like Pittsburgh, New Orleans, and New England might be willing to jump up into the teens if they think a franchise guy is there. Especially if the price is right.

No one is taking an oft injured left tackle and a pick outside the top 15 for a top 5 pick. Glen is worth a 4th rounder at best, primarily because of his contract. I suggest reading up on pick evaluation; its supper rad and interesting if the draft is what your into. There are very good reasons why the moves that you are suggesting never get made, as they would cost any respectable GM their job.

It's a QB driven league and its been over 30 years since the Bills have drafted a QB inside the top ten. I think we have enough evidence to show that the wait for someone to fall approach has not worked, as everyone who fell that became a franchise guy was passed on by the organization anyway. Yes they will be forced to reach, but given the lack of talent at the position and the amount of teams needing QB's, there's really no other viable option outside of over paying for a vet. The likely scenario is San Fran giving us their pick for two ones and the Rams two. I don't see how a team with a franchise guy already in place could turn down the opportunity to make 2 picks in round 1 and 2 picks in round 2 in the same draft. Especially given the Jimmy is about to take up alot of cap space, so they will need reliable starters on rookie deals if they want to fill the rest of their holes with veteran signings.

Exactly. Having a franchise QB on a 4 year rookie deal with cap space is exactly what this team needs to make a serious push in 2019 or 2020. When Brady will likely have retired. Its a risk, for sure, but there is really no better year for them to try, especially with two teams picking early that already have franchise guys in place.

I'm on board with this. San Francisco, the Bears, and the Colts will all be looking to trade down. And at the very least we should at least force the Jets to waste a number 1 pick to trade up to number 2, if they want to go QB. San Francisco seriously looks like they've played the game the smartest, right now. No freaking way they stay and take a RB at two given the amount of 1st and 2nd round projected QB's that will be available, and the fact that they can potentially net an extra 1st round pick and still get the player that will be best for their team.

Me too. I think they are the only team that will be willing to part with two 1st round picks this year. San Fran has a QB that they are bringing along slowly and they have too many holes to fill not to trade down. Beane would also be crazy to let a franchise QB fall to the jets. He might have to give up three ones (two this year, one next year) and a two to do it, and there will be people who are going to hate him for it. But if he bags Darnold and Darnold turns out to be a franchise guy (on a rookie deal) when Brady retires, they will have a decent shot at unseating New England, and not only making the playoffs, but securing a by and home field advantage. Also Jimmy G looked good despite having no WR's. IF everything shakes out accordingly the Bills or Chiefs pick will be high enough to land San Franciso the top WR in the draft in a week WR year. Tanking is really not needed given how everything is playing out.

Meaning that there might be enough ammo to trade up with San Francisco if there is a QB they covet. There are a lot of QB's with 1st and 2nd round grades and evaluations are all over the place, so our 1st, the Chiefs 1st, and our 2nd could be enough to swap with San Francisco if Darnold declares and they project him as a franchise guy. Anyone who projects San Francisco to stay with the 2nd pick is crazy given that new York will be looking for a QB as well. Philadelphia traded up for Wentz and it might take them to the Superbowl this year, so Beane might pounce if he thinks his guy is there. Its a copycat league, so Beane may have been planning this all along, because if he lands a franchise signal caller on a rookie deal with a lot of cap space there is a lot that he can do if Bill and Tom retire in the next year or two. Tanking would make it difficult to attract free agent talent, and its not going to move them up the board enough for them to avoid having to trade away extra picks.... if there is someone they are targeting.

The effect of the change could have been mitigated if Schwartz had stayed. Getting rid of the coordinator who turned Dareus around was the dumbest thing that this franchise has done in the last few years, and we all saw what happened after.

His hype train is already in full force, so I doubt that he will last until the middle of the 1st round.He'll likely be a top 10, maybe even a top 3 or a top 5 pick based on inflation of the position and hype alone. If someone wants him, they will trade up for him before Buffalo gets on the board.

Let's tank multiple seasons and stockpile 1st round picks. It's clearly working for.............
