KingRex Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Interesting take for those with the usual psychotic addiction to a QB. Maycock's general rating (my understanding is that his top 100 is his raw player quality rating and is NOT where he thinks a player will be picked. Based on his assessment which has not been bad the last few years, my sense is he would suggest the Bills hold pat at 50, but the QBs available at that point will not merit a 50 pick. Even worse for the Bills a QB pick would simply not pay off for a year or three while lessening our chances for getting a player who contributes to the team right away (OG or back-up TE in a Roman O which can use 4 TEs.

Why in the world would we pick a QB to start with. We're not going to get an immediate starter at QB out of the draft and we allready have 4 proven backup QBs on our roster. You draft to improve your team not to replace bench material with bench material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Laken T at 50 a OG Daryl Williams at 81 a OT, would be perfect Ali Marpet is slotted at 87 might be to hard to move up to packaging our remaining picks . If he lost some weight which would be more natural for him, a blocking TE who could start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 He's my favorite but he would have been fired if he was actually a NFL GM. He said Robert Ayers was the best defensive player in his draft (he was a part time starter in college) and had Gabbert over Newton. He is great TV but please people, don't put too much stock into their opinions. It's a guess game like it is for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayocks guesses are better than industry standard though - like you said, it's a guessing game so of course he's going to miss on some and his views should not be held as gospel But his views > basically every other talking head currently out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a better job than actually being a NFL front office guy. They don't have to face getting fired for being really wrong. Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis are also solid.

It's in My Blood Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Mayock,unlike Kiper and McShay, actually knows what he's talking about when he breaks down guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I see the guys I think make the most sense for Buffalo in round 2 are ranked right around 50: 47. Carl Davis - DT/Iowa 49. Preston Smith - DE/Miss St. 53. Laken Tomlinson - OG/Duke 56. AJ Cann - OG/South Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I would opt to get a starter on OL at 50. (I know, that was supposed to be Kujo in the 2nd last year) If nobody the covet is there, try and trade down and grab a QB to develop. Seattle, Oakland and Tennesee are happy they took a QB outside the 1st round and the value Philly got for Foles is instructive. If you want to find a QB, you have to draft one - and do so every year If necessary. Edited April 28, 2015 by Green Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They are? yes you can disagree if thats your belief, but if you look up the past records, his predictions/player analysis have been more accurate than the rest of the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They are? What Mayock is really good at, IMO, is understanding the process and what specifics GMs and scouts look for in players. No, he doesn't get them all right, and sometimes he's loud wrong...that happens. I still think he has a better feel for the process than any of the other media draft analysts.

I think Mayock is far and away the best. Charles Johnson is pretty good, too. The best evaluators in the world, with actual jobs, like Ozzie who I think is clearly the very best, are wrong all the time about players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRex Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 yep. drafting a QB at 50 is stupid. they won't do it. lets put that idea to bed. You know that. I know that. Bills fans with even half a brain knows that. However, the professional media as shown in recent articles on WGR's site and in the Rochester D&C advocate taking a QB at 50 or with our third rounder. I can see why they would promote such bad football choices because what they are all about is advocating the team draft a QB, then demand he be used before he is ready, and then sell commercials and fill column inches whining about how the team pr4ofessionals are idiots. I also saw one poll of what I assume were casual fans where 44% of answerers to this non-scientific poll called for drafting a QB with the first pick. Too many people do not seem to understand that if you draft Hundley, Petty, Grayson or any QB with a snowballs chance of being there at 50, these admittedly talented players are not likely at all to be ready to contribute on the field til 2016 (if we are lucky) and likely 2017 as they fight for time as they share time with and likely force us to cut 2 of Cassel, Ej, Taylor, and Tuel. Add to this not only do you have this benchsitter QB and WGR selling arguments but you forgo a likely starter G, RT in this OL deep draft and/or a back-up tE with a Roman OL that wants 4 TEs and we have three.

YoloinOhio Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This is Trapasso's take on how he would set up Bills big board. Interesting! @ChrisTrapasso: If I was #Bills GM Doug Whaley, this would be my 2015 #NFLDraft Big Board ---> http://t.co/FOX5teTPFd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I'm seeing our new starting OG at 50. And I will echo the postive sentiment for Mayock. I really enjoy his analysis. Edited April 28, 2015 by Big C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Didn't Mayock say that Garoppolo would be the 3rd QB taken if he was in the 2015 draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
