Martifal Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'll watch you never know with Whaley, he likes to deal, I wouldn't be surprised if he made some kind of a move during the first round, in fact, the more I think about it the more I expect it. It would be a savy PR move to make some kind of a move to excite the fan base during the 1st round give them something to talk about other than the trade.

YoloinOhio Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Oh, and I will still watch because I think there is going to be a lot of trades and moving. Cleveland could make some crazy moves and !@#$ up another draft. Which would be awesome. no way jose. the way RB's are found now-a-days and the good crop of FA's I'd be just as quick to sign a vested FA or young pup cheap then I would waste an early draft pick. i can easily see Cleveland packaging both picks to move up for Mariota.

1B4IDie Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Which QB after Mariota & Luck will someone trade into the 1st round for? Even with all of the QB needy teams I would be surprised if a 3rd QB was off the board before their 1st pick. Just because the Bills need a QB doesn't mean that there is 1 there. That's what they did with EJ. On the topic I will still be interested. I love the draft and am a nerd for it. I find it to be one of the more interesting sporting events of the year. A few things that I will be interested to see are where the QBs end up, if the RBs jump back into the 1st (Gordon and/or Gurley), and any players traded for picks (I suspect that we will see more of this). Jamis Winston is going to be a beast in the NFL. Especially if he falls and lands in the right spot i.e. KC with Andy Reid or Denver with John Fox. (Brock is not the answer.) Obviously people gave a bad impression of Jamis Winston but all that stupid college stuff will go away (The sexual assault seems dubious imo.) Now if the Bills had the 16th pick and Jamis was there I would be pissed. However Marrone and Hacket couldn't coach themselves out of a wet paper bag so they would just ruin Winston. I am curious to see how the Winston saga plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 i predict Winston will end up in Tampa. And it would be a good fit. Jameis in Tampa & Mariota in Tennessee? I think that Cutler to Tennessee would be really stupid. They aren't a team that needs a 31 year-old QB. They are awful and should take their shot starting with a young guy.

John from Riverside Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 This is where Pegula really needs to put his money into scouting because that 2nd round pick is gonna be very important.....there is gonna be a good player in that second round we just gotta find him. It will be important to be active in free agency so that we can let the player fall to us in the 2nd and not reach.... By the way.....imo Kiko Alonzo IS our first round pick this year.

boyst Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 i can easily see Cleveland packaging both picks to move up for Mariota. The only option they'll have is Jags. Titans: QB, CB, D-front 6 Bucs: QB, OL, LB Jags: OL, CB, RB, 19 other positions Jets: QB, RT/LT, CB Raiders: don't need qb Redskins: need QB but won't go QB The Bucs and Titans need a QB and i think both coaches know they need a QB or something to get them thru to save their career. Titans getting Cutler (I think Cutler stays in Chicago) could mean Titans giving Browns the first pick but it will be costly. Mannion and Marriota could be off the board by the 4th pick if the Browns move up, but regardless, Winston may be the only option they have in NY.

They aren't a team that needs a 31 year-old QB. They are awful and should take their shot starting with a young guy. I have a feeling the Jets are going to try to get Mariota. But I could see him in TN and would be nice fit with Whisenhunt. The other option for TN is Cutler or another vet FA and then try to continue to develop Mett. I think Mett showed enough in his small sample size to continue to groom and the fact he came from a pro-style offense with Cam Cameron helped him (just like I think it helped OBJ,Landry, Hill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd rather go with a Senior. lovie smith coaching and their FO will probably value mannion over winston. i hope winston goes to the yets.

I think Mett showed enough in his small sample size to continue to groom and the fact he came from a pro-style offense with Cam Cameron helped him (just like I think it helped OBJ,Landry, Hill) that'd mean something like the Jets and Buc swapping picks to ensure no one gets the Jags pick to take a QB. If the Bucs stay they can draft a QB, if they move back to 4 they can still get a QB, likely, and more help later in the draft. I think that may be a good deal for both teams, because otherwise someone will swoop in at the Jags spot and get their QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I generally find the draft enjoyable. I'm usually someone who likes to "scout" a lot of these prospects so for me it's fun to watch to see where they are taken. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with not having a 1st rounder this year but I'm still hopeful that we can address some needs in the other rounds. I'd like to see a QB taken though. I'm going to keep my eyes on guys like Carden, Grayson and Mannion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I love the draft, the trades, the players. etc. I like to keep an eye on the rest of the AFC East. Hopefully the Jets ruin their top 5 pick and Bills find a true gems in the 2nd & 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsDK Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I think I will be less interested in this years draft. Not much, but still. In the previous drafts, I looked at all the mock drafts that I could find. This year it is only the mocks with 2nd and 3rd rounds that gets my attention. I still frequently use walterfootball, CBS and draftbreakdown to get my draft dose. What draft sites do you use, and can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mead107 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I will still watch and be around TBD just to see everyone B word that we have no first round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 One round doesn't make or break an entire draft. Not every good starting QB was a first rounder, some were picked much later (you never know), and we can get a good guard or two in the lower rounds as well. So what if we don't have a #1, it's not the end of the world OR the draft. Let's wait and see who we get and what they do when they get here.

YoloinOhio Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 2 really good TE prospects from the Big 10 that could be there in the 3rd are Maxx Williams from Minnesota (junior declaring) and Jeff Huermann from OSU. A well-known one is Devon Funchess from M but he will be projected in the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could use a Brandon Oliver/CJ Anderson type. Low to ground, good balance, instinctive. No excuse for not being able to find one later in the draft. Teams do it every year.

simpleman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) I think I am going to be more interested in FA this year. I think it could be a strong year for FAs and a relatively weak draft class. You beat me to it. Our needs at guard and tight end could be better and more reliably met in FA than in the draft. The defense here is already at it's SB peak right now, it will soon be going downward with the inevitable loss of players to FA, injury and age (KW). Getting an offense that is ready to play next year is critical. Anyone you draft is generally for the future, unless it is a high, sure thing, 1st round pick, which we don't have. I'm not sure about the QB position though. Maybe a Bradford or a Cutler might work, but neither may actually be available for a reasonable cost. Not a lot of QBs available in FA seem that much better than Orton and EJ. And neither Orton or EJ are good enough. I don't have much hope of a playoff spot, even with FA upgrades at OL and TE without a major upgrade at QB. With no 1st round, I don't see much help next year via the draft. This draft will by necessity be for the future, while with the right FA additions to offense, the Bills defense is poised to make a legitimate playoff run now.
