Rob's House Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 It's a safe bet KC and AZ will take a QB in the first, but who else will we be competing with? I'm guessing Jax give up on Gabbert. Is there anyone else?
DanInUticaTampa Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Possibly Cleveland if they tank bad enough and there is a qb that falls to them that is too good to pass up
DocLawless Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) You also have to factor in the starting qb's that will leave via free agency. Teams like the ravens and texans most likely will resign their star qb's but if they do not then you can be assured they will draft a qb. Edited October 23, 2012 by DocLawless
Reed'scatch83 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I think KC and AZ but I think the NYJ, Raiders, and the Eagles are a possibility too.

I was wondering about this, but figured wherever an established player went would be a team that would have been in the running otherwise. Think the Eagles will be looking? I think KC and AZ but I think the NYJ, Raiders, and the Eagles are a possibility too. The Raiders are certainly a possibility, but will they have a 1st this year? I think they traded it for Palmer but I'm not sure.
White Linen Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I think the teams that will look to draft a QB are: Buffalo Jacksonville Oakland Philly Arizona Teams that may be looking are: Denver Jets Dallas Bucs San Fran Seattle
BuffaloFan68 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 At this rate, we will have the number 1 pick. Fire Wanny already!
TheFunPolice Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 if Nix and Gailey are here you can cross the Bills off that list These guys have told us all again and again: Fitzpatrick is their guy.

I think the eagles will finish too well to be in the running for a qb that would be worth taking. They already have a project qb in nick foles. I think if they had a top 3 pick they would grab their replacement for Vick but they wont be in that situation. Oakland has a better chance to grab a franchise qb unless they are thinking about trying to develop Pryor which i doubt. I have a feeling Dallas might be looking to ship romo out of Dallas as well if they don't make the playoffs. Can't rule out anyone trading up to get the qb they want either, if they think thats the only missing piece.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 He was there guy last year, but I doubt they expected this leve lof play either. They will continue to tell everyone he's their guy until they select his replacement, then the new guy will be brought in to complete. Then he becomes the new starter. Unless there's a better option on the roster which right now is unlikely, they will continue to tell everyone he's their guy. That's all it means. if Nix and Gailey are here you can cross the Bills off that list These guys have told us all again and again: Fitzpatrick is their guy.
Saint Doug Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Aren't the Eagles high on Foles? This is what the Bills should have been doing, grooming a young QB despite who the starting QB is. As for Jax, will they give up on Gabbert so soon? They do have a new GM though, so this could cause them to change QBs. I agree with the Raiders and KC. Let's hope Brady Quinn blows it up though. Cleveland may not want to give up on Weeden either. They just drafted him. They wouldn't have drafted him only to pick another 1st round QB the next year. He hasn't been that bad either. The new GM/owner could have a different opinion though. We also have to realize that these teams stinking it up (Arizona, KC, Jax, Cleveland) have many holes on their rosters. Unlike us, I would hope, these teams are still going to suck even with a 1st round QB.
MikeSpeed Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I think KC and AZ but I think the NYJ, Raiders, and the Eagles are a possibility too. Knowing our FO which ever one of these teams drafts a QB that's where we will get our next starter. I think it's highly likely that Matt Cassel will be our next starting QB.
ramses Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 these days, it doesn't seem to matter much where you are drafting, but your willingness to trade up. so we may finish with a worse record than say AZ, but if they need a QB, and they are willing (and we aren't) they can always leapfrog us to take a QB. this is of course unless we have the #1 pick
BringBackFergy Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 You forgot NE - Here's why: NE will be looking to peddle Tom Brady after this season. He is 35, at the height of his value, and the Pats will owe him damn near another 40 Million if they wait until 2014. They will trade him to Raiders, get the Raiders 2013, 2014, 2015 1st and 2nd round picks. Brady will move to LA/Oakland, will play in the season opener and catch his right big toe on the shower mat. He will then go to a hyperbaric chamber to resolve the toe issue and fall in love with the nurse's aide whose name is Reginald. They will rent a one room studio apartment in East LA and Tom will sell pencils on the corner under the name "El Maricon". The Pats will slide ahead of the Bills in draft order and draft another stud QB and the circle of life begins again.
KGun12TD Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 At this point, I want to keep CG and DW as coaches...this way we're guaranteed the 1st PICK! Wooooo Hoooo!!!
RyanC883 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I think the teams that will look to draft a QB are: Buffalo Jacksonville Oakland Philly Arizona Teams that may be looking are: Denver Jets Dallas Bucs San Fran Seattle I can see Arizona getting very agressive to get a QB who can get the ball to Fitz. Although, Kolb was not that bad considering their horrendous offensive line. I wonder if the top OL player and the 2-3 QB is available who they take. If i'm them, I take the OL.
zow2 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 We are about to be lapped by teams like Jax, Cleve and Ariz who brought in QB's they thought would produce and now may jettison those plans for newer QB's. Meanwhile the Bills just stay put. Heck, Detroit may even grab another QB if their season tanks.
Billsrhody Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 The Raiders are certainly a possibility, but will they have a 1st this year? I think they traded it for Palmer but I'm not sure. Good thought.. the raiders will give up a 2nd round pick in 2013, unless they reach the AFC Championship this year (then it becomes a 1st). Unfortunately we'll probably be competing with Oakland and KC for the rights to draft the best QB in the draft.
section122 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Currently the Bills have the 7th pick. Sitting in front of them are Jacksonville (1-5) Kansas City (1-5) Cleveland (1-6) Oakland (2-4) Carolina (1-5) Indianapolis (3-3) Out of this list only Carolina and Indy are "set" at qb. I would (and do) think that any of the teams picking 1-4 currently would invest in a qb. It is a possibility that Jax, Cleveland, and Oakland would stand pat with their qb situation but highly unlikely. However after the last couple of weeks the shine has come off of Geno Smith a bit so it is possible (although not probable) he could be there at 7. This should be the year for a qb I just don't know what the options are for the slot the Bills are currently in. It is certainly to high for the second tier of day 1 qbs and probably too low for the top 2 prospects.
