B- so far. The trade down and subsequent selection of White was the best move of any team. So far, Dawkins is average and Jones is well below average. They cancel out, so to speak. Other than that, Milano is below average, but good value. I'd like to see us get much better value in round 2 as Dawkins and Jones move forward. Let's also keep in mind that the ENTIRE player personnel dept has been replaced since that draft. We're in uncharted territory for 2018. This draft is taking WAY too damn long to get here.

Not so fast. We might be able to get a decent QB at 6 and still ha e some picks. Then next year we'll have a lot more for FA's. Trading up to 2, I agree, could be far too expensive. Having a good QB is also a good way to attract good FA's at reasonable rates.

If we got Vander Eshe and Washington in those spots, I'd be happy, but overall, I'd like more emphasis on the OL. I don't expect it though because we've signed multiple OL and CB's in FA.

Bledsoe's career numbers far exceed anyone else's on this list. Trent was very good before the concussion too. He was terrible after he got his brain rattled though.

It will happen on draft day, I think. They probably hsave a trio of QB's in mind and will make the move when 2 of them are gone or something like that. That's my guess. That way they get to keep as many day 1-2 picks as possible and still get a guy they like. Either that or they will do something completely different. Well, that about covers it. I wish the draft would hurry up and get here so we can stop guessing.

Why waste a 1st round pick on Rudolph? That makes no sense at all. We can probably get him with the 65th or 66th pick or maybe just a bit higher. I hope Beane isn't that foolish.

Yes. Leslie Frazier is a great DC and the coaching by McD was very good too, but he needs to work on clock mgmnt skills. No HC did more with less talent.

Darnold, Mayfield or Rosen, I'm guessing, will be the 3 successful QB's in the NFL.

I have to disagree. We may have paid good prices, but I don't expect any of the new FA's to have a big impact.

There is some truth to this because Ralph wasn't a billionaire, but during the 90's we had one of the most expensive rosters in the NFL.

As it stands right now, I don't expect the Bills to win more than 4 games in 2018, but we still have the draft and if we get 3 or 4 guys that have rookie seasons like White did, then maybe. I would add that I am very unimpressed by the FA's we've signed so far.

QB's always go before many expect because they are so important. His accuracy is no better than Tyrod's, but in every other aspect he is superior. I still want (in no particular order) Rosen, Darnold or Mayfield. If we can't get one of them, then I'm OK with Jackson at 22. Arm strength, good and quick decisions and 4.3 speed gives us something to work with, at least. He'd be tough to defend.

Sorry. For some reason it stuck an old post in there before I could enter any text. Weird.

I think Murphy will be our new RE and they will trade him , or try to, to move up again. I don't know who is interested, but he's still a very good DE IMO. Question: Who might be that trade partner? How high would that get us?

We did.

Probably just due diligence, but I'd bet they are keeping all options open.

Remember when the Bills were the Williams?

I'm worried about this. All these top QB's have question marks and moving up to #2 will cost us dearly. I just keep thinking of the time the skins traded away all those picks for RG3. Think of all the solid players we could get for all those picks. Oh well, it's a passing-too-damn-much league now.

Perhaps Shaq will be backing up at both ends now that Murphy is here to take his starting job.

The proof is in the results, so no. Then again, I could listen to Buddy talk football all day long. I really liked his press conferences a lot. I wish he'd write a book or maybe someone at NFL films would do a documentary with him and let him narrate.

I like all the rule changes that protect players -- especially if they are "prone". Still, playing bump and run did not injure very many WR's. Now you get flagged for just breathing on them. OK, slight exaggeration. I think they put in the 5 yard rule just to open up the passing game because some fans prefer an aerial circus to football. I miss the old days. Let DB's play for gosh sakes. I love watching a brutal defense just stuff another team's offense all day. Even the announcers cry if the game isn't a high scoring affair. Am I the only one that feels this way? Maybe then winning might be about more than jjust having a good QB and more about having a good roster.

Darby is OK, but nothing special. White, on the other hand, will be elite in his 2nd season.

People are giving up on Peterman way too soon. I'm not saying he'll ever be a starter, but some seem to think he doesn't even belong in the NFL based on 30 minutes of play, not counting the blizzard bowl. McCarron has only ever been a backup to a very average starter, so I will assume that's his worth until he proves otherwise. At present, there is no reason to assume that we will have any other QB on this roster capable of being a franchise QB any time soon.

Because he might be the only starter-capable QB left at 12, although with a low ceiling. I'd almost just take Mike White in the 3rd if he's the only one left. Build up the roster with all those day 1 and day 2 picks, then get our QB next year after we tank.

The rule changes are what has changed, not QB talent. If today's QB's had to play with old school rules (ie - bump and run, no pass interference unless the ball is in the air and catchable) they'd have a hard time matching those numbers. Ummmm... no. He was good. He was very good.
