Anyone can play "if, this, then that." "If I roll a hard 8, putting my life savings on the craps table is a good plan" The real skill is making the best possible +EV decisions n ow, and not play results-oriented thinking.

Thank god we now have your buddy's picks for the 2014 draft.

I agree Allen looks mediocre on tape in a game and great on a field in shorts. Rosen looks great on tape in a game and mediocre on a field in shorts. I know which one I want.

lol you guys are crazy. Rudolph is no better than EJ Manuel. Any team that picks him in the first round just drafted a bust.

I think I'd be happy with trading up for Rosen or Mayfield, maybe Allen....stay in place for Jackson. Do not want Rudolph or Darnold.

My boy Rosen looking a little shaky. What's the word on Simonek? I like what he's doing. Rudolph should be a model or a movie star Mayfield's arm is perfectly fine. Strong, even. Lots of zip. Shaqueem Griffin DOESN'T HAVE A LEFT HAND??? Holy hell what an athlete.

Says who?

One thing that's clear from watching the combine, is that Rudolph is one good-looking kid. Should go to Hollywood with that face.

Me. I thought that was clear. My screen name is even right above what I said.

Still fine...if someone is stupid enough to trade up for Darnold, let them. As long as it's not the Bills!

If I was the Browns GM: Pick #1 - Barkley Pick #2 - probably Rosen to the giants or Bills Pick #3 - Chubb to Indy Pick #4 - best QB on board (let's say it's Darnold) That would improve that team in a hurry.

That simple fact would be wrong 8/10 times. But you do you, Dude.

Again, We don't know if Watson or Mahomes are going to be long-term solutions at QB yet. They look good, but who knows? And yes, I'd certainly like to be in the Eagles' shoes. It must be nice to win a SB. But I really don't think they won because they traded up for Wentz. Like you said, the rest of the team was good, too. All OP is saying that the stats clearly say DON'T TRADE UP FOR A QB. Recent history excepted, of course. It's not a clear cut decision. I want a QB as bad as you, I just don't want to give away the farm to do it.

He had a great year, I agree. But we don't know if that will continue. Word is he won't even be ready to stat the season. And when he does he play, he'll be in a brace. I'm just saying that it could be that Wentz is in the right system and under the right coaches. How would he be doing in, say, the Buc's organization? Also, one, maybe two instances of trading up for a QB where it works does not cancel out the many, many times teams have traded up for a QB and it did not work out. Hello, JP Losman!

If he was so key, how'd they win the SB without him?

What makes you think one year of success is going to mean ten+ years of QB stability for those two teams? Small sample size is small.

LOL Dolphins Miami just spent cap space they don't have to address a position they didn't need to. They've got what five edge players that are decent or better now? You can't play more than two at once.

I don’t understand why anyone thinks Rudolph is any good.

Good post and interesting stats, and it just reaffirms my thoughts that the draft is one big crapshoot - no one knows who is going to hit and who is not - especially when it comes to QB. However, a few points: While I’m not usually a proponent of trading up, I do feel that having a plethora of picks like the Bills do this year somewhat mitigates that problem. We’d still have a decent number of picks this year and next if we were to trade up. That being said, everyone pointing to Wentz and Goff as successes for teams who traded up need to realize that one year of decent play (Goff) and one year of superior play (Wentz) does not mean these players will continue playing at a high level. Both QBs struggled as starting rookies, and both have been much helped by good coaching and schemes. Wentz may have to play with a knee brace the rest of his career, and can we really say that Foles wouldn’t have gotten the job done for Pederson all year in his place? It seems that coaching elevated both QBs in that system. Im torn, as I believe both Rosen and Mayfield might be worth trading up for. But I hate giving up picks when the team needs so much help at other positions. The Bills could hedge their bets and wait to see which QB falls out of the top ten...and then make a trade...or, just stand pat, and if a QB falls to them not named Rudolph, pick him then. I also wouldnt mind if the Bills did what the Redskins did the year they took two QBs in the draft - and the second one was the one who hit. Its an an interesting dilemma. But I have to stick with believing that trading up is most likely NOT worth it. All the stats say so.

wow that was brutally unfunny

I hate you for putting this possibility in my head.

His ceiling is Christian Ponder. No thanks.

Fake news

If this happened, don’t the Bills still retain his rights?

What’s the one move the Bills could make on draft day that would melt your face? mine: Browns grab a QB. Bills trade up to 2 and select... Saquon Barkley!! Then they trade Shady for a 2nd and a 4th. This would definitely melt my face. And I’m not even sure if I’d hate it or not. Whats yours?
