Before the Non-Rudolph people attack this, I understand that this writer really likes Rudolph and has had him as his QB1 all year. But if you listen to him interviewed, he is measured about his approach on that, with balanced perspective on his strengths/weaknesses and I frankly applaud people with the courage to go against the grain. It means they have conviction on their work and don’t just go along with groupthink because they are afraid to be wrong.
That said, the comparison to Dak is interesting and not something I’ve seen before. Usually i see Dalton or Petty. And Dak was drafted in the 3rd, so this isn’t trumpeting him as some top 10 pick.
I’m still 1)Rosen 2) Mayfield but I’m keeping an open mind because no one knows who will emerge as a franchise, playoff-level QB. A LOT depends on system, coaching, and situation. Like it did with Dak. So would I be disappointed if we drafted Rudolph instead of Rosen and Mayfield? Admittedly so. But I wouldn’t be pissed. He could end up being perfect for this team. No one knows, yet. It’s a good article.
I found this interview with Trapasso pretty interesting from yesterday as well -

Trapasso said he thinks he will go in the first round, outside top 10, the 5th or 6th QB taken. He indicated how good he is in the classroom and how many defenses and coverages he’s seen being a 3 year starter (similar to Mayfield). He’s able to diagnose a lot and audible at the line, understanding route concepts.
As far as arm strength he indicates it is overhyped because in the last 5 years, 95% of throws in the nfl were under 30 yards in the air and 80% are from the shotgun. It’s outdated thinking that a guy needs to be under center and able to throw it 70-80 yards or he’s not going to succeed in the league. He does think velocity could be an issue (this was also a knock on Deshaun Watson), but everything else with pocket movement, pocket patience, and downfield accuracy are advanced.
Dak went in the middle of the 4th, actually.
Also, if Rudolph came here, would he have the following players on the offensive line to block for him: Tyron Smith, Zack Martin, Travis Frederick? The answer? NO. -

"Kick the tires!"
But even pressing license plates at Lompoc, this guy's better than Lawson...
How was your card game last night, with Schopp, Howard, Sullivan and Gleason?

"If he's not convicted of anything, why not bring him in on an incentive-laden contract? What harm could it do? If he screws up again, you release him. He can't be worse than Shaq Lawson."

1. So, if we are going to trade 12, 22, 53, 65 and a 2019 2nd rounder for the NYGs #2, is everyone on board with it?
2. Then, who does everyone want, assuming Darnold is gone? Rosen, Mayfield, or Allen? I go Josh Rosen.
It would have to be Rosen.

Have you provided this board with one intelligent comment?
Talk to me in three years when I'm right. I just call a good prospect a good prospect.
If he's such a "good prospect," then, why is he projected to be a career third stringer or backup QB at best?

White has all the tools to be an NFL QB. He is one of my favorite players in the draft. I really hope he does not go to the Patriots.
I think he will be better than Allen, Rudolph, and Jackson at the NFL level.
White has alway been my backup plan if we can't trade up for one of the big 3. I thought we could get him early in round 2.
It was only a matter of time before YOU showed up to defend your husband, Mike White.

His accuracy to the middle of the field and on deep throws makes him a potential NFL player, but anyone whose boundary throws need to be timed with a sun dial isn't someone I want to spend a high draft pick on.
Add to that the fact that he played in a college spread offense exclusively, and that he never took a snap from under center in college, and we're getting further away from what he's going to need to be able to do on Sundays.
He's a day 2 guy for me.
If the rumors are true, he could go to Pittsburgh at 28.

MAJBobby was this close to having a massive orgasm. But, he wants to wait until a deal is actually done to get Rosen.

I'd rather take Mike White in a later round vs. Rudolph as a 1st round pick.
billspro wants Mike White in the 2nd, if they can't trade up.

This is funny.
Last Year before the draft.
Pat Mahomes was in a gimmicky system, name a big 12 QB the made it in the NFL, fans didn't want him either. Fast forward a year later. We traded away the pick we could have had get Mahomes. He played on game now he is a Hall of Famer.
Blah Blah Blah! We dont know how these QB's are going to turn out. I've seen for years everybody know who the best prospect is for the Bill's. Let the scout team GM and HC do their jobs.
The fans know more than the GM and the HC.

I disagree I think there is plenty of good on his tape. Accuracy in the intermediate range is 2nd only to Rosen in this class in my opinion. Does he have some transition to pro-style offenses, including footwork under centre to work on? Sure. I think the kid will have a decent career though.
As a backup, yes. As a franchise QB that will consistently bring you championships? Absolutely not.

I am hoping we draft Ragnow. Give me Ragnow-Dante Pettis-and a bad ass LB or two and I will accept whatever bounty it takes to trade up for our QB
Imagine Ragnow hiking the ball to Lamar Jackson, who will stand proudly in the shotgun, only to take off and run if the play breaks down!

son, you obviously never watched Michael Vick. How would you not be happy with a QB with Vick's ability? Tyrod has gone up against many terrible teams. It takes him 2.5 games to throw for 400 yards and 5 games to throw 6 TDs. I am not hating on Tyrod. I am just pointing out your dogmatic, myopic detective work

Did you watch Michael Vick play when he was at Atlanta? Or at Philly? That dude was electric! One of the most exciting players I have ever seen. Any time he had the ball, there was a chance for a highlight play. Vick also went #1 overall. Lamar Jackson compares to Michael Vick. If he play any where as Vick we are in great shape. Look out NFL
Seriously? Your "evidence" is an 8 year old clip of Vick, McCoy and Maclin beating up on what was a terrible Redskins team at the time?
"Jackson compares to Michael Vick."
So, does this mean then that we can expect to get 1 or 2 good seasons out of Jackson until defensive coordinators figure out how to stop him (just as they did with Vick) until he has to go to Federal prison for a couple of years? -

I love it. I imagine that Vander Esch and/or Dante Pettis and/or Will Hernandez might be accompany them
I take it Jackson will be in the shotgun the whole time and will take off and run when Pettis isn't open on his first read?

Not sure why these threads always come back to QB...
I'll throw a vote in against taking Settle. His measurables are terrible and he's not exactly the prospect his highlights show. This is what Joe Ledyard from NDT has to say about him;
Here's the mockdraftable breakdown that he mentions.
Because, it's the most important position in football, and the Bills don't have one. That's why.

Correct. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

What does Shaq get you? From 12 to 11?
I don't think there is much trade value there.
Hughes is our best pass rusher and we have a lousy pass rush, doubt we look to unload him. At least not this year.
Rumor has it (per Sal on WGR at least) that Hughes and Clay are more likely to be traded, or released, after this season.

I've heard Lauletta in a couple of interviews. Kid seems to have a real good head on his shoulders w/ great football knowledge. I hear his arm isn't the strongest though. That scares me a bit, but from what I've heard from this kid...he's a leader. He had me sold, for what that's worth (nothing).
Goodell: With the 22nd pick, in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select...Kyle Lauletta. Quarterback, Richmond, of the vaunted Colonial Athletic Association.

Rosen played under center in a pro style offense. Rudolph played exclusively in the shotgun in a goofy college system that has produced such franchise QBs as Zac Robinson and Brandon Weeden.
