Minter signed with the Jets I believe

There's so little film out there of him, but he looked awesome in the Division 2 title game. I was especially impressed by how he's always aware of where his check down is in case the pass rush gets to him, but all around, his ball placement in the title game was really good basically to every part of the field. Obviously we're all hoping that Buffalo can get one of the top tier prospects, but I like Perez as a Day 3 flier/UDFA guy to target.

I think the perfect world (and still reasonable) draft is getting Roquan at 12 and then trading 22 + 53 or 56 for #14 or 15 pick to take Lamar. Use the remaining 2nd round pick on maybe a WR or TE, 3rd round pick on Nathan Shepard. I'd be very happy with that.

To me, Lamar is the best QB in this draft, but come on man lol. This is a ridiculous theory.

This was a tough call between Leonard and Chubb. I went with Leonard though.

I agree with this but I also think staying at 12 or a small trade up is still the better idea.

I would gladly take the Browns situation over the Bills current situation honestly.

I don't really want to trade up this year, but even if I did, I would have no interest in moving a 2019 first round pick, probably not a 2nd either.

I think this is a pretty well-thought out post, and the Barnwell quote is great. Ask not what your rookie QB can do for you, ask what you can do for your rookie QB. I have serious concerns about what this team can do for whoever they draft; it's a pretty dire situation to come into IMO.

I know this is a joke thread, but I continue to think it's going to be a pretty bad year for the Bills and this only adds to it. You could reasonably argue that the Bills need 4 new starting offensive linemen lol. It's insane how many holes this team has considering they were a playoff team a year ago.

Personally, I think it's an overpayment, but that's more because of my evaluation of this year's QBs along with the state of this team rather than the actual trade itself. I'd rather stay at 12 or make a smaller move up to hop in front of Miami.

The line about some teams seemingly removing Rosen from their draft board due to his personality is pretty nuts to read.

Okay, so Buffalo has roughly 53 needs to fill with 8 draft picks now.

I'm not sure if he tweaked his mechanics after arriving at Houston because the film I've seen was all from his time at A&M, but I don't like his throwing motion at all and he looked terribly unimpressive at A&M. Obviously didn't fare much better in Houston since he got benched after only a couple of games. Certainly wouldn't touch him until late on Day 3, but in my mind, he's probably a UDFA level prospect. Edit: Just watched the video in the OP...still not a fan of that throwing motion. Seems really odd that he was the #1 QB recruit once upon a time with those mechanics; the way he throws looks like he was a baseball player that committed to football later on in high school.

I don't like this signing personally, but obviously McBeane know what they're getting with Star and felt that he was worth it. I guess we'll have to see. I just don't think he's a very good player from what I've seen over the last few years.

I don't either truthfully

We’ll see what happens, but outside of drafting Rosen in the first or not selecting a QB until Day 2/3, trading up for Rosen is probably my least favorite option. I’m hoping this is a smokescreen and that the Giants actually want him.

On the flipside, for the sake of Part 1 of this article, in which the argument is simply "Is he the best QB in the class or is he not?", I'd argue that Allen is one of like 3 guys that has a legitimate chance of being the best in this year's class.

Yep. Not turning the ball over plus forcing turnovers = wins even if you aren’t a very talented team.

He’s an 84 or 85. I don’t remember which off the top of my head

That would be good for Buffalo IMO.

I'd prefer to stay at 12 or make a small move up rather than going all the way to #2 honestly. And I have absolutely zero interest in trading anything of legitimate value for Odell.

The ranking is on the left, so for example, Mayfield is tied for 26th with Bortles/Wentz/Goff. As I mentioned in the OP, it appears that Scouts Inc. changed the grading curve in 2014 or 2015, so in all likelihood, Mayfield being a 91 this year would be more like maybe a 94 by the former scoring system or something; we don't know because Scouts Inc. never actually declared a new grading curve but suddenly we went from having 10 guys (at any position) at 95+ each year to maybe 1 or 2. This change only makes it even more impressive that there are 4 QBs in the 90+ threshold. And the optimistic take would be that all 4 fall somewhere within the range of Philip Rivers and Carson Wentz

This is so funny to me; usually when you hear about a team granting permission for a player to seek a trade, it's a good, well-known player, not the 4th string QB.
