JM57 post is great and I think this one is good reinforcement. Bottomline: the Taylor comparisons are lazy and flat out wrong. Jackson may not have the high floor like Rosen (or maybe Darnold) but I don't think anyone could exceed his potential ceiling.

Yes, because LJ was the entire Louisville offense. Coaches ran a good number of designed run plays where he average seven yards a carry. (Yes, seven yards, which included 18 TDs)

But . . . he's NOT a run-first QB. There is a ton of articles that say the opposite.

Research and reading will illustrate why I don't agree with anything in your post.

If there is one thing I’m sure it’s that we have no idea what the staff wants.

How is this a shock to anyone? Moving up even without a new Jets market price would be steep and now it'll be even tougher.

Everything I’ve read suggests that Rosen’s best attribute is he’s the most NFL-ready, while BM and (especially) JA might benefit from some time with the clipboard. If you rank BM ahead of AJ perhaps you should re-examine your criteria.

Agree, with the season starting next week, this team looks like it was assembled in March. Without reviewing rosters, I'd say the Bills are no worse than average with that current roster of receivers.

Bradford is a process QB. IMO, a great fit and bridge QB. Natural talent, very smart and possible coach material that could help groom drafted QB. I’ve always been a big fan and wondered how he would have turned out if not oft injured.

Process of eliminatination. The poster is either a troll or a moron. And I mean that in a religious way.

But don’t we need a QB with a high hand-off percentage? I’m thinking that kid out of Mary Washington.

Hear me out, there hasn’t been much talk but perhaps the Bills should think about drafting a QB this year. Maybe even trade up? I’m probably going to get flamed for this suggestion, though I am surprised this board isn’t debating the possibility. Maybe take that guy from Richmond in the 4th? I dunno, it’s hard to find information on QB options.

I think you're right. Probably not enough. And if so, I'm very wary mortgaging so much for a QB with a lot of questions. Good players, but no Peyton Manning.

What are you prepared to give up? I'm pretty sure your worse case scenario is a pick or two short.

The scenario is meaningless unless you have an idea what Buffalo needs to give up and get in a move to #4.

I like Chris T's work, he's very thoughtful and explains his reasoning. I am in agreement with his assessment of all the QBs - except Rudolph. I don't know if he's wrong, I just don't see it with Rudolph. Unlike the other QBs, Rudolph seems to missing something and that's why it's difficult to see something special. Having said that, if the Bills take Rudolph at 21 or 22, I'll be excited that the team saw something intriguing as well.

Exactly, there could be a price, but it might not be in the best interest of the Bills.

May want to adjust your expectations. There is a better chance the Bills will not find a trading partner. Look at it from the other team's perspective, why would they trade with the Bills? What we would demand?

"Done with this team?" Yeah, Ok. First, why would BB ever tell anyone what he plans to do? Two, IF the Bills don't move, it's likely because no team wanted to trade OR the price was too high. Three, you clearly have player(s) you want. What are you willing to give up? For me, there isn't a player that it's worth mortgaging a truck load of picks.

Sidenote: this analysis applies to 99% of QB draft picks.

He is #10

I also saw a QB who could be a superstar. There are only a handful of players who could make those plays. My God, if LJ had even a chance behind that line and an average running game, he'd be a consensus Top 5 pick.

It's easy to say, "The Bill should [must!] move up to get [pick your QB!]," but rarely does anyone say what they think and are willing to give up. If we can first agree the price will be very steep, what are you willing to trade? Personally, I'd like to have Darnold or Rosen, but I don't think they are worth what they will cost. I'd be happy with signing Keenem and drafting Lamar Jackson; and have room to address a lot of holes.

This would be easier if there was a Peyton Manning in the draft. I like all the top QBs but not one seems worth what it would take to move up to Top 4 pick.
